This would be for an in-person game where all the players have laptops. The ability to send files would be nice as well. Any suggestions?

#4 diggles Apr 10, 2010 15:37:59	lol why would the players be typing to each other when they are in the same room?

Also, sometimes characters keep secrets from each other.  Such as two characters that are having a secret love affair and they don't want the other characters to know about it, and some of the players are poor at not meta-gaming. There are a lot of reasons to be able to type a message to someone even though they are in the same room.
