Ha ha! That's hilarious. Jenn was searching for an invite, but finally got one last week. I think she's got some invites now, but I'm WAAAAY down the list of prospects. :D

I'm not sold on the whole concept yet but i'd really like to check it out. The video demo was pretty cool. Is it cloud computing too? I'll get you my email when I'm off the mobile. Thanks.

From what I've read, Google Wave is The Next Big Thing for play-by-post rpgs. :D

Send me a PM with the e-mail address you want me to send the invitation to.

And Wave is sorta somewhere between e-mail and IM. Google has a video describing it somewhere, it's pretty interesting.

Awesome. I thought I'd also point out, Impule is having a sale on Sins of a Solar Empire this weekend. You can buy the original game and the expansion for $20 for Thanksgiving. Which is today, I'm guessing? Only because the US markets are closed. :D

ZOMG! Google Wave is the SHIZZLE!

To test it out, Jenn and I began an online collaboration on further steps we must undertake to Steampunkify our house. And I have to say, using Google Wave makes the process brilliant. It is far, far simpler than even our basic chats. I can even see us utilizing this tool with our laptops in the same room, because it gives you a documented process. It's frakking brilliant.

One of the guys from my Star Wars group can't wait until the next time we game- traditionally, we've been getting visions through the Force in-game via text message, occasionally e-mail, but Wave would be a *lot* faster.

Instantly faster! I can see how this would make for an even better PBP, especially with the ability to roll back revisions, etc. The whole 'combat thread' idea will work even better. And you could probably play in real time, using Wave, from disperse geographic locations. I think that is something worth investigating...
