Live Chat RPG on Suvudu
Kaitlin Heller, one of the editors at Del Rey books, is a nerd.
I know, I know. That’s hardly a surprise, and Creator knows I live in a glass house in that regard. I’m just saying.
Kaitlin has been trying to get a Del Rey D&D game between authors and editorial going for quite some time, but due to mass scheduling conflicts, her efforts have always come to naught. I gave up D&D several years ago, more out of necessity than choice. I only had limited free time/creative energy, and needed to make a choice between gaming and writing.
I am at peace with my choice.
Still, I miss ropleplaying games, and last year at my Warded Man launch party, I drunkenly promised Kaitlin that if she ever got that Del Rey game going, to count me in. I meant it, even after I sobered up. Even though I have even less free time now, than I did a few years ago, there still a part of me that wants to put on some Led Zeppelin, get out my graph paper, and roll some dice.
So when Kaitlin invited me to join in a Live Chat RPG on Suvudu to help promote the new Del Rey book King of RPGs, I was intrigued.
Normally I am a D&D purist, and don’t tend to play other gaming systems. Nothing against other games, but I didn’t memorize the Dungeon Master’s Guide, Player’s Handbook, and Monster Manual for nothing. Still, the chat seemed like a nice way to get a quick gaming fix without commitment, and thankfully, Kaitlin never spoke to my old gaming buddies and learned their most cardinal rule:
Never let Peat play a thief.
So… we’ll see how that works out.
Also playing are:
* Ari Marmell, author of The Conqueror’s Shadow, Agents of Artifice, The Tomb of Horrors 4th edition and numerous other fantasy novels and D&D/RPG books!
* Diana Rowland, author of the urban fantasy police procedurals Mark of the Demon and Blood of the Demon!
* A few lucky fans.
You can watch the live chat on Tuesday, January 26, from 2-4pm EST by clicking here.
Cool! Have a great time. Jen and I still play occasionally, but like you said — there’s only so much time in the week and my schedule is pretty tight.
Sneak attack!
can’t wait! 🙂
Hey! Those are my dice!
I mean, uh, gee, what are those things?
[…] Live Chat RPG on Suvudu […]
it seems very cool to watch, but I have absolutly no idea what time it will be in France. I’ll try to find out!
I think Paris is +6 hours to New York, so if the chat is from 2-4pm here, that should be 8-10pm for you. Or do you say 20:00 – 22:00 in France? I forget.
I might be wrong though. I always get confused by Daylight Savings Time.
