Where is that general online design chat on irc?

[Andy Kitkowski]

I can't find it- I could have sworn it was at Magicstar... but I can only find the Indie Netgaming stuff there.  Wasn't there another online server/irc channel that people had live covnersations on?

Thanks!

Andy,

Some of us viciously appropriate the #indie-rpgs channel, which is technically Indie Negaming's channel, and use it for our our own nefarious purposes.  Is there another?  Perhaps, but I don't know of it.

Thomas,

Is this a regular thing? I've been meaning to drop by and say hi, but the whole time zone thing makes me think that you're all going to be there way past my regular bedtime. (There's only so many times I can get away with falling asleep at my desk.)

First, I need to learn to at least pretend to read what I type... that channel is #indierpgs not "#indie-rpgs" (no hyphen).

As to regularity... at the moment there's a number of people who just sort of hang out there.  (For example, me, right now).  Maybe we should consider scheduling a series of "Workshops" or "panels" with pre-set topics...  That could get interesting.

Heh, i think I need to get the hang of 'just hanging out' first. Having a topic for discussion sounds cool, but for anything serious I think that it could get quite confusing very quickly.

Anyway, come on - make it a bit easier for me to stalk you guys - when is it busiest on the #indierpgs channel?

[LordSmerf]

Well, following with the American-supremacy thing, the most busy times are well after your bedtime.  Think 0230GMT or so.  That said, you can often find someone(s) hanging around closer to 2230-2300GMT...

Bugger. I think that's pushing it a bit far for me (says Doug, posting after midnight.) Think I'll pass for now - but if you do start holding special events, I'd appreciate a heads-up.

Which IRC network is this on?
