Ok, so you read part one of this guide and you have decided to play Dungeons & Dragons on Google Wave. You’ve gathered up some willing players & everyone has a character ready to go.  Now what? How do you actually play the game? The short answer is “Just like you normally would.” However that is a bit misleading. In order to play online you will have to make small adjustments here and there. This section of the guide will attempt to cover all of these issues, as well as detail the various functions of wave and dicebot. And again, there are multiple ways to go about this, you will have to figure out what works best for you and your players. If you think you have a better method than I am proposing here, please feel free to contact me! I’m always looking for ways to streamline my sessions.  Email – nerdnightmare(at)gmail(dot)com

It is simply a method I came up with that has worked for me and my players.
