The typing makes the games quite slow.I used IRC (Internet Relay Chat). There are others out there with features like maps for combat and so on.One place you could try is "Gamers Seeking Gamers" right here on this board (it's under "Bits n Pieces").Sometimes it gets very confusing when you get four people typing at once, some typing faster than others and responding to questions at a different rate. I would say it works best with small groups and very simple (or no) combat to keep things from bogging down. Two advantages: you can log the chat and have a perfect account of each session (extremely helpful when a player misses a session and wants to know what happened), and it's easy for the DM and PCs to exchange private notes among each other without other PCs knowing anything is going on.</blockquote>
