If you've been paying attention to the Internet for the past 48 hours, you've probably heard about Google's upcoming Wave project. Wow! What a breakthrough.

I'm utterly in love with the creative ethic that the internet has fostered over its comparatively short life. While I certainly don't profess to be a fan of every bit of art, fiction, or other expression published to the web, the fact that it's encouraged people to make is magnificent. Now, with Wave on the horizon, the limits of asynchronous communication aren't going to be a barrier any longer.

The challenge is this, people: Let's do something together. Let's pick a night of the week to all get together and bang out an idea for a game. Then, when we're done, let's play it. No more of the developer in his ivory tower, trickling games down to the plebes below him in a one-way pipeline of you'll-play-what-I-give-you. Let's do this together, and let's have a blast doing it.

This'll probably be a good place to dust off One Hundred Kingdoms, which is as good a place to start as any. I'll post more here as Wave becomes available, so if this sounds like something you'd be interested in, consider yourself invited.
