Re: suggestion: RPGaming via the internet

The only way I could game over Skype is if my girlfriend was out and that would only be for an hour or so at a time. We have 3 days off this weekend so maybe something is possible. I know nothing about Gamma world or the other thing so if I joined it would have to be as a player. I am interested in GMing for either D and D, Call of Cthulhu or warhammer fantasy roleplay. The 3rd edition for fantasy roleplay uses cards so would need to be played in person but I guess I could run 2nd editon over msn once a week. In fact I'd be happy to try that. I guess Fridays around 5 or 6 or Saturdays. I suppose the time could change week to week depending on when we can all get online.
I'd rather do text based than headsets but I'm open to giving either a go.
I ran Call of Cthulhu last year over msn messenger with some Japanese players and it worked well. Maybe Skype is the way forward.
I usually use this for online dice rolls http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/
That way we can talk using headsets and then when you need to roll just send the link of what you rolled. Copied and pasted to the text message box on msn or skype
Msn was quite good for sending handouts to players.
