Any further updates?
My regular group is thinking about using Google+ so we can add a friend who moved to California a number of years back. He hasn't gamed since then and has been itching to get back into it via Google+.

Any chance of a Traveller newbie joining in for this somehow? I'm listening to the podcast about Tappy's sandbox Traveller game now and it really sounds fascinating.
I've never played Traveller but I'm on the verge of picking up the rules this weekend.

We got a regular game going with Mattman GMing and frozenscv and I are a couple of his 6 players.
A friend of mine and I are pondering running a game doing some sort of shared GMing. Planning on meeting for lunch tomorrow to chat about it. We have some locals that are interested in playing but if we have a slot or two open I'll post it.
Nothing set in stone, but if it happens there's a good chance it would be run on Wednesday nights after kids are sent to bed. So 7:30ish central.

Plus I work a 12-8 shift so staying up late during the week isn't an issue.

Sorry I couldn't get more slots in. I thought about making a Beta fork of myself but all its aptitudes are reduced by 5 and Moxie is reduced to 1, not to mention the stress accrued from resleeve and remerge, and I'd hate to go through THAT again...

But is the actual Google+ part of this equation working out ok?

Yes. As a GM, it's been satisfactory to me and doesn't get in my way. The Google+ Hangouts "With Extras" bit which allows document sharing has also been nice for group note sharing when it works, which has been about 80% of the time I think.

This little beta product app is showing some nice promise as well. tabletopforge.com/features/So far my testing was very basic, but what I messed with looked nice. (Thank you JJ on FB for posting the link.)

I'm going to have some folks at my place and some folks remote. This hybrid could be interesting. If something opens up down the road however I'll certainly post something on the forum.

Mattman's game has a couple openings if there are any takers. We've been playing every other Tuesday night starting 7:30-8:00 central running till about 11. Some games are short, some are a little long.
Current Plot: A group of morally flexible individuals are passengers on a liner that suffers a miss jump. The team escaped from a crash, and found themselves hold up on a mining colony. They then hijacked the visiting CEO's yacht to escape a pharmaceutical soylent green situation. Now they are trying to make their way back to their original destination before they are too late for a big payoff they have earned.
