Traditional roleplaying over the INTARWEBZ!?
I wanted to get some information on role playing online. I don't mean any sort of MUSH or something like that. I mean table-top style role playing, on the internet. Some time ago I read something about using internet chat software(Skype) to link up faraway peeps for a "live" game. A suggestion was also made to use dimdim.com for "whiteboard" purposes, but I'm not sure what that part meant. Obviously, you need some kind of dice mechanism, but I believe those are fairly common. Considering my rural group has fallen apart, and I've been getting into GURPS and Eden games more anyway, it sounds like a great way to get what I want. Any help on active groups, more information, etc.?

Multiple microphones on 1 PC for use during webinar's/web meetings?
The company I work for has recently started doing a lot of webinar's and web meetings using services like WebEx and DimDim. We talk using VoIP (not a teleconference bridge) while sharing our presentation materials with all the attendees who've logged on. We are doing this in a conference room that holds 15-20 people using a PC that has a set of standard computer speakers, a webcam, and a microphone that is designed to pick up everything in the room (kind of like a speaker phone.) The problem we're having is that someone outside of our office will talk into their headset, their voice comes out of our speakers, travels back through our microphone, and finally back into the the person headset. This creates a very annoying effect that causes the person to hear himself repeat what he said a few seconds after he says it. When this happens, most people quickly decide they cannot tolerate it and refuse to continue until we switch to a phone conference. What I'm looking for is a solution that allows us to use VoIP without the problem of our attendees outside the office hearing themselves talk immediately after they say something. Because we require that our microphone be turned on all the time during the session (people in the room often say things spontaneously) I think the main problem is the speakers. I'm thinking a solution could potentially be that each person in our conference room has their own headset so that we don't require a single 'speaker phone' style microphone and a set of speakers to sit on the table. If this is possible, what do I need to purchase to hook 15-20 3.5mm headsets up to a single computer? The goal here is to make it so that everyone wearing one can speak at will and hear everyone else speak through the earphones on the headset. If that isn't possible, has anyone else experienced a similar problem and solved it? I'd love to hear your solution. Thanks in advance, I REALLY appreciate it.
