Would another set of PNP/Dice channels come in handy?

Post by Arcane_Scroll » Mon Jul 16, 2012 1:59 pm

I've noticed we have a lot of groups playing now, and have had a couple people suggest a PNP3/Dice3 set of channels. Just wondering if another set of channels would be of use? If so, I'll be happy to add them and a dicebot.

It probably wouldn't hurt.

Another option is for a group to create their own dedicated set of channels. Octagon Group did this (partly because we didn't have a set playtime and wound up conflicting with other groups too often); we now have #OctagonPNP for non-session chat, OOC table chatter, and dice, #OctagonIC for in-character, and #OctagonSpectatorChat so anyone watching can chat about the game without their chat getting in the way of ours.

Yeah, I also set up a seperate channel group for Tango Group, namely #Tango_RP and #Tango_OOC.

I am completely in favor of that. Following all the games becomes a real challenge when every group has its own channels xD I have like 15 FoE IRC channels open at any time! And that's terrible. Getting the groups to play in the conventional dice/pnp channels would certainly help towards that, and if there is the need for a third room, so be it. It's free, so why not?

The problems inherent with a public dicechannel would still be there. Better yet teach budding gms how to make their own bones.

Agreed, it also makes things for GM's not familiar with IRC. I'll make them when I get up :cwalk:
