A recent conversation about game session length and the related concept of session frequency has prompted me to pose this to the rest of the IRC D&D community....
When we had a group running locally we were lunch to dinner every second Sunday which was good, doesn't tie up every weekend. There is another group that...
One last thing I forgot to include was whether or not anyone thought gaming via IRC made any sort of difference with regard to your preferred session length...
In my experience, players tend to have less endurance in IRC games - more to distract them, perhaps. My typical IRC sessions are 4-6 hours, but I can keep...
I played in an online campaign (it lasted for about three years) and I've been DMing another online game for about 18 months now. In my experience three hours...
I agree, I've tried longer and shorter. 2 hours just makes you annoyed because it ended so early. 4 hours starts to become a drag. I think 3 hours is just...
I have played in a lot of online games, and find that anything less than four hours isn't enough time to feel like I played. Less than 4 hour sessions can run...
I'm pretty much out of running D&D over IRC myself -- it pretty much became a case of the system limiting things and combat slowed games down t a crawl -- but...
I appreciate your point of view but let me ask you one thing. If you feel IRC too limiting, why have you maintained your membership in this group? I would also...
Well, it's not to a crawl. But D&D is a wargame at heart, and never really got away from that: which, depending on players and such, makes for really annoying...
Hi all, we're a team from Singapore, been gaming on and off for 5-6 years. I've been DM-ing for half the years, another half we rotate. Sad to say we're...
Hi there, sorry for your loss, glad you are continuing to play. I'll help with some of what I have learned, and maybe it'll be useful. I hate typing in vain....
Hey everyone --- I have just recently been approved to join the dnd irc. However, I don't have any dice rolling program. Where do I get one? Please help me....
I'll go ahead and answer this one right away. Typically you will not need a dice program (bot) of your own for IRC games, actually many DM's prefer to use...
WOW!! Talk about getting a quick response. LoL Thanks for that piece of information. Now, all that's left is to get in on a game, and to learn how to play...
Heh, yes. Well I've got email notification set up through my Trillian client. It sure beats checking my inbox at regular intervals, that's for sure. Playing on...
I'm looking to join an ongoing world of IRC D&D 3.5 gaming. I see a lot of "scheduled" games, but my schedule is unpredictable and I can never commit. I have...
I know of a couple of play by email games along the lines you're looking for if you're interested. I find for me it fits well because like you, my schedule is...
There's also a few game channels that run whenever there are enough players online. If you check the message archives for #Outsiders, I believe that is one of...
Like his individual work or not, we all must acknowledge the role Mr. Gygax played in the creation of the Dungeons & Dragons game. Please raise your ale mugs...
I never met the man but I don't think I can thank him enough for the 30 years of gaming he indirectly provided me with. The latest OOTS is a perfect send off...
Here's to you Gary! Thank you for sharing your vision with us. You did what many of us can only dream of doing. Your works greatly impacted my life as well as...
I rarely respond to this group, however, this is a special occasion. Gary Gygax was one of the founding fathers of Dungeon and Dragons, with his vision and...
Hey, my name is Robert and I'm a college age gamer always looking for a group. Basically, I can't find a group here, despite nearly 2 years of searching, so...
