Episode 14: RPGs Over Skype
07Apr08
I’m going to be running an RPG session over Skype for the first time this weekend. I’ve got a few concerns but, overall, I’m really jazzed about this new RP experience.

Hello Chris,
I just discovered Skype a few weeks ago and I like it very much for VoIP converservion with a friend of mine who live in NZ. Never thought using it the way you described. It’s a great idea and I would love to hear some of the results.
Happy Gaming, Ralf
I had downloaded Skype last year sometime, thinking it would be a good way to play with some friends across the country, though I never got around to trying it. How does it play? I, too, would like to hear how everything went.
A few questions: How many people can it support in a conference-style call? Is this the way you played with it?
Does everyone have an open channel to talk, or is it walkie-talkie, push to talk style? How well does it handle if everyone is talking at once?
You can talk privately with just one person, if you wish, right?
Thanks!
