Chat with us Monday 9/10 @ 9:30PM EDT
As has become tradition in the Alternate Reality Gaming community, we will be joining the players for an IRC chat about the experience. Of course, anyone with interest in the project is welcome to attend and we hope that you'll be able to make it.
The chat will be held Monday, September 10 (yes, that's tonight!) at 9:30 PM EDT / 6:30 PM PDT in #stfeline on irc.chat-solutions.org. If you don't have an IRC client, you can connect to that server through both unfiction and ARGNet. For more information, check out this unfiction thread.
We're really excited about finally getting to chat without the curtain coming between us, but as this is only an interlude, there will be many questions that we cannot answer. We do hope that you will understand and not throw virtual tomatoes at us in return for the inevitable winks and dodges. Don't worry, if we can't discuss it, it just means that you'll get your answer in a far more exciting way. There's still plenty of interesting things to talk about and, I'm sure, some of the discussion will go on to inspire future posts here at Schmeldritch.
We hope to see you there tonight, and we'll link to the log of the chat from this message after the fact.
I thought it might make sense to list out some of the kinds of questions that we'll have to wink and dodge. Among the whammies would be things like "is X really dead?" or "what was Y's motivation?" (to which the generic answer is, "that sounds like a good lead for the Sentries to explore in the future.") There are certainly other whammies, but they are littered over the field of narrative details and not easy to mark off as a landmine.
This should be fun, and I hope they let us ask some questions as well :)
Wanted to thank everyone for a great romp of a chat last night -- especially to Mapmaker, who did just a wonderful job keeping it running.
For those of you who missed it, a log of the chat has already been posted at Unfiction.
