OK, I'm a little sleep-starved and haven't thought this entirely through.
But would anyone like to be part of a game in Second Life (Virtual worlds, avatars, 3D chat, online meetings - Second Life Official Site)?
For those that don't know, Second Life is a free, virtual universe. Your virtual self (your 'avatar') can be just about anything and you can shape the world around you to some degree.
I have visited Second Life for a few months last year and ultimately found it unsatisfying.
In the end, Second Life is a very pretty chatroom. And, like most chatrooms, the quality of conversation varies and usually isn't worth having.
But then it hit me, what about a RPG played in Second Life? The idea of a bunch of fantastic characters playing a conventional pen-and-paper RPG in the clouds or underwater is very charming to me.
I don't know who would interested or what games and schedules would even be possible so I am just guaging interest right now.
Interested responders should know that Second Life is free but is very graphics-intensive and requires a fast internet connection. It might be possible to play a post-related game through Second Life (or use ENWorld) but the world of SL works best in real-time chat so schedules might have to be coordinated.
Let me know what you think and maybe we will start our Third Lives.
