Would anyone be interested to some D&D session with GOG people? We could run these either via Fantasy Grounds or Google Wave (running some RPGs there).
We'd need a DM (not so keen on that) and a couple of players; for those who don't know how to play, don't worry, we'd start slowly.
Dibs on DM! Though my lore-making skills have always been rusty if we start slowly I might do fine.
We'll do this slowly so that new players can join without being overwhelmed. Let's see who else is up for it and decide on a system.

Not that it matters too much, but what version of D&D would this be? Fingers crossed it's 3.5.
Not really biased towards one or another. 3.5 should be fine (although 4 seems easier for new comers).
What kind of time are we talking? Ideally you'd want all players there live after all...
World Clock
What about dice rolls? All on the DM or trusting players not to count that edge roll where it lands on the carpet and "was MOSTLY a 1 but the 20 was directly facing me so I'm calling it a 20"
What rules? I've never even seen 4th edition
If people are interested in D&D in Wave (personally I'd prefer Fantasy Grounds) check this out.

I'd say Fantasy Grounds as well (we can sort something if you get my drift) for dice rolls and the rest.
As for the time, I'd say one or two hours per week. What hours I can't say right now before seeing who is in and where they are but I'd like to find something that works for everyone.
what exactly is fantasy grounds? I'd google it but I'm going to bed and have downloaded enough porn for the day

A software which simulates the board and manages the game (dice rolls, attack math etc.).
A list of the main features of Fantasy Grounds:
* A user interface specifically designed to capture the spirit of pen & paper roleplaying. [More]
* The Gamemaster can hand out sheets, maps, and notes for any or all players to interact with. [More]
* Role playing is easy with dedicated chat features. [More]
* Access all traditional paraphernalia available at the gaming table. These include dice, drawings, character sheets, portraits, tokens, and rulebook reference material. [More]
* Visualize tactical scenes using maps rich with features or create them on the fly. Draw on the virtual paper or reveal parts of maps prepared beforehand and place tokens to indicate player characters and NPCs. [More]
* The Gamemaster can create and keep track of all in-game information. She can also customize game assets and user interface elements to accommodate house rules. [More]
* Interactive fully realistic 3D dice. [More]
* Preloading images for fast display controlled by the Gamemaster
* Maps and images with additional layers for drawing and grids. The Gamemaster can reveal images gradually to the players by unmasking areas using a paint tool.
* A pointer and indicator usable by all users to create lines, cones, circles or squares in any orientation on maps. These are useful for easy targeting of attacks and spells or just hilighting portions for other purposes. When grids are enabled on maps, the area indicators hilight the squares affected and numeric indicators indicate the dimensions.
* Images can be zoomed in and out by a roll of the mouse wheel or using the zoom tool. The display scale of tokens can be locked to allow them to zoom together with the underlaying image.
* The minimap navigator makes makes focusing on a particular area on a large map a breeze.
* The Gamemaster can add links to maps and images for easy access to other resources, such as connecting maps, story entries, NPCs and items.
* Creating and activating adventure or supplement modules is easy and gives more options to manage campaigns and share data between users.
* Dice can be rolled using any stack size and with optional adjustable modifiers
* Gamemaster die rolls have hidden results but are shown to players using a hidden value

Get your ass to wave and reply gogdamnit...
Also, I'd be glad to join, if there's enough time
If the time suits, I'd like to join in.
I've never played D&D though, so I may be full of questions.
I do have plenty of cRPG D&D experience though, which hopefully will help (BG, NWN etc.)

Off-topic but dude, check your email/steam account ;)
I'd love to be a player, could play late Sunday, or Monday, Wednesday, Thursday.
I'd like to join you guys. I'd need an invite to Google Wave, though. If someone has invites, my email is valrogm(at)gmail(dot)com.
But as Aliasalpha asked, what time do we do this? We're from all over the world.
