Hello, hello!
We've been kicking around the idea of an on-line, synchronous chat-session for DMs to talk shop, test ideas, and share motivation while working on their campaigns/adventures. [Previous details here dungeonmasterblock.freeforums.net/thread/775/collaboration-motivation]
NEVVUR made a chat and a couple fellows have dropped in, but hasn't been too active yet. You can find it here.
us21.chatzy.com/55871693755615
Does this seem like a good platform to you all? Someone mentioned a Google Hangout, but I've never set one of those up before. I do like the idea of something more polished.
There should be a poll attached to this post for blocking out meeting times. They're big blocks to get a rough idea of when folks are online before picking a specific event time. I'll probably use a Doodle for that.
Anyway, I'm getting ready to run on Monday, so I'll be in and out of the forums and chat this evening and Tweeting janewalksfar #DMbanter while I tinker with maps and flow-charts here in the real. Hope to connect with ya'll soon!

Eh, I could be on chatzy most nights that I work. Could also attempt a bit during my daytime but i think most people will be off then (sucks to be european in a american populated forum )

Where you from, frohtastic? Saw you drop in, but I think we missed each other.

Norway (though chatzy says sweden, dat work server stuff) so I'm at best 6-7 hours ahead of you all ( the lottery numbers are 4 8 15 16 23 42 ) Still on but you know, at work so. Have you thought about having the classic "capture the thieves" as the city adventure? Or perhaps a murder mystery!

I hesitate to post my available times, since it's more a matter of whim than actual availability. I'm a student taking all online classes (for now), so whether I can show up depends a lot on how well I've managed my time any given week.
I think the most effective format for scheduling would be for a forum moderator to start a sticky thread, with the first post regularly edited to post upcoming chat "events." Replies could be used to notify the mod of desired times and possibly topics, and other blockheads can drop in when their schedules allow, e.g. "I'm going to be in chat at 6 PM EST on 3/15. Hoping to discuss some ideas for my upcoming mystery campaign!"

OR I can just make this post be sticky, so that janewalksfar gets to keep this awesome idea, and there is no direct dependency on a mod to change things as it goes. I believe you can delete and add the poll whenever you want to reset it, and all of that jazz. If this method doesn't work well just let me know and we can work on something else that hopefully would!

Anytime I can I will try to get on. Hopefully that will be more and more as the new job gets into a more regular pattern.

Is this EST? With my schedule I won't be able to commit regularly, but I'll drop in when I can for sure. It sounds like a great idea, and I know people to bounce ideas off of, or revel in my triumphs of TPK, will be really useful!

Please don't be a dead post, this seems like a really great and fun idea.

I periodically sign on to check if there is another in the room. . .

Hey, blockheads!
Ya'll want to pick a date for the first collaboration session? From the broad strokes, it seems later (9-11) weekday evenings would be a good call. Maybe Monday or Tuesday, 9-11?

I'm game whenever. We can totally use this as mini-hang outs too!

Any new news on this? I haven't had much of a chance to actually talk with other DMs, and I'd be excited at any opportunity I could get to do it.

You know what could be a easier way to do this?
Making a Discord chatroom/group. Iirc its both free and quite easy to use, And you can even go on voice chats if you want.
