Google Wave, Delta Green, GUMSHOE

[bryant]

If I were running this on this, using this basic protocol who'd be interested? (Even if you don't have an account yet.)

I could be, but wow, I'm interested in the idea of roleplay over wave now.

[bryant]

Oh geeze. Now that I think about it, Wave would be insanely well-suited for the style of play by post y'all do. See also this post.

[gentlyepigrams]

Ooh, shiny!

I have requested an invitation now. *fingers crossed*

I can't get Wave to work at ALL at work (due to out of date browsers they have us using). This is probably for the best.

[bluegargantua]

I am interested in receiving more information...and a google wave invite... :)

probably not for me. i'm not good at roleplaying online. i lose track of the storyline if it takes more than a few minutes between posts. (i have the short-term memory of a goldfish.)
would love a live game if i can manage it between 2 work schedules, though.

Have Wave, am interested.

[brainiacfive.livejournal.com]

I don't have an account (though I signed up for an invite).

I'm curious, but I'm not sure I need something else to start eating my life just now.

I'd be a interested to see it in action.

But that is absolutely the beauty of running in Wave. The game is producing a coherent, more or less polished log as you go for quick reference; no more paging back through your mail queue to reconstruct the scene in your head if you momentarily lose yourself.

I am intrigued by this.

You know, i feel like i've had too much SANity - i've never played CoC in any of its varieties.

I might be interested in this, but I don't know if this would be a reasonable introduction to it, tho, with me being an overly sane n00b. What do you think?

also, i have no wave.

[bryant]

I do not have invites to give out. :( But I'm interested in unWaved people anyhow on the grounds that I might wind up just having to wait.

[bryant]

Live gaming is still in the cards!

[bryant]

Sure, it'd work. I'm thinking of something set in modern day Boston, so you'd know the locale. Delta Green is sort of the grungy cop/federales version of CoC, so a little more gun bunny and a little less academics in tweed, but it's still CoC.

[bluegargantua]

heh, I could be in an RPG with shadesong...Bryant should just abandon this idea now while his sanity is intact. :)

somewhat amusingly, I'm actually more familiar with delta green than the basic CoC stuff -- a friend of mine dated one of the DG authors back a long time ago, so I ended up meeting him and checking out some of the DG books.

cool!

[jeregenest.livejournal.com]

Yes

[brainiacfive.livejournal.com]

Hmm. My experience with Boston is limited to a whirl through Logrus in the mid-90's and my stint in head58's Boston Camarilla game.

If I was involved, it might be best as an outside cell Fed consultant brought in by Alphonse?

[alex-victory.livejournal.com]

Heh I saw a link to that protocol on Robin Laws' LJ right before I saw it on yours.

To answer your question: VERY MUCH YES, but I don't know if I'd have the time.

[flit.livejournal.com]

Not waved, and play-by-post either overwhelms me with a deluge of posts or bores me with waiting; I've never managed to find a happy medium. Intrigued by the concept, though; wave may make play-by-post actually possible for me, if it doesn't turn into another 'drown under pages and pages of new stuff since the last time I could focus' thing. (Far more intrigued by something real-time though.)

[bryant]

Wave is still pretty amazingly clunky. I think the ideal form of it might help the deluge problem, though, hm.

(And you just let me know on the realtime; lots of options there.)

[robotnik.livejournal.com]

Have not played with Wave yet, don't have an account, do not really need more social media, but Delta Green GUMSHOE with you and other (ex)Boston homeys would be enough to lure me in.

[flit.livejournal.com]

Hmmm I am trying to decide if I am better off holding off until the end of November (when I will know if I am quitting WoW for real or not, and if nothing changes drastically for the better I will be quitting) or trying to start something now while I'm still distracted by seeing if I can make WoW work and keeping RL from falling apart. My health hit a slump in September. (Probably from getting back into WoW, possibly from bad eating habits.) Is December too long to wait? I am still very intrigued by D&D4 and have been chatting with Brad about it. I am just worried about my current ferret-like attention span.

[bryant]

December is totally cool!

[bryant]

This makes me plan to hold it till you get an invite. So I will. Wave could use a few speed improvements, as well.

[robotnik.livejournal.com]

OK, I've requested an invite.

Two part series on gaming on the Wave at the At Will blog, just FYI:

I requested an invite from Google the day you posted this originally. For the record, it just came through.

Have you done anything with this yet?

I will no doubt be spending the rest of the year getting up to speed on Wave.
