Just out of curiosity, have you ever considered doing a "tabletop" game online? I've previously successfully run a cinematic GURPS game over IRC, and I'm thinking it's about time for me to try one again. Be happy to fill in with some quick entertainment for you lot while your other players have donned their superhero gear and flown off to defeat the Radioactive Intolerant Killer Robots From Mars, or whatever they're doing. ^_^
