When are we doing this? Who wants to be the first designer? Who wants to be involved? I figure we might as well use MIRC, and RPGsite to help get information out about our works, plans, companies, etc.
We talked about it before, but who all wishes to be involved? I'm going to start hosting one, details will be worked out in the next week.
Sign up here if interested!
What are you talking about? A chat between designers? A chat with one designer and questions? General kibbitzing? What's the plan, Tim?

I was thinking of:
A) A regularly scheduled "Meet the designer." Style chat. Where we get those designers we know to show up and answer questions by fans/friends about their design ideas, where they're going, and what they'd like to do.
B) A sort of regularly scheduled general chit-chat amongst designers. (Laid back, just to shoot the breeze leaning heavily on gaming topics.)
The idea is general to allow a bit more information to come out about future designs among everyone, and also help get a bit more in touch with each other. So cool things get both discussed. (Not per se a promotion, exactly.) Yet also, to see if there are other people who might be able to talk to about your designs, get some light feedback, etc, etc.
Anyone interested? I'd like to see about scheduling one for February 3rd, at 8pm CST on IRC (Magicstar Server, #rpgchat.)
This will be just a basic meet and greet to get things rolling. With more serious chats later.
Doh! I'd like to get in with this madness but that would be 4am for me. :(
A scheduled chat with other designers would be interesting, but I've got no favorite designers right now that I'd be interested in chatting with.

Is there any time we can schedule for you that won't be a nightmare hour for everyone else?
10pm? That would be 7am for you? Or Should we go the other way?
It would be cool to join in. It would seem that I can't add up...
CST is GMT-6, so 10pm would be 4am, 8pm is actually 2am. It would need to be nearer 5pm CST, which would make it 11pm GMT. As it is a work day, I think most people won't be able to make 5pm!
I think I might have to sit this one out (save the log for me) and if you do one at a weekend, I'll be well up for that.

Sorry Rob. Maybe we can schedule one early afternoon one for you at some point..
No probs mate! Thanks for trying, we'll definitely set up a chat in the future. :)
...Maybe we should just set a date for the first inter-designer chat and see who shows?

Come on. Time to chat you silly people :D
Alright. We'll do this next month on Tuesday the 3rd, at 8pm CST as well.
Please come. This chat will be more formal, I'm going to ask some specific people to come and talk about their ideas, we'll see if it works.

Did anyone show this time? I tried but then only remembered an hour late. When I showed, no one was there. :(
I was there for a bit. So were about five other people at the height.

Clash showed up about an hour and 45 minutes later. I didn't see you at all. Strange, did I miss you?

Well he talked a lot. Quite nicely filled the time talking about his very cool projects like Zombiepocalypse, and All Squirrels Must be Eaten.
I have a log, I was going to post, but I need time to sort through and trim things down into a readable format.
No guest decided yet. Anyone have suggestions? I've emailed a couple of people but no firm commitments.
