iSketch is an online game where you draw something, and people have to figure out what you’ve drawn, like that board game which name I can’t recall. I’m in the midst of setting up the room, as soon as I’ve posted this it will be complete. Here are the rules: 2 artists can draw at the same time. 25 people max. Number of rounds is 10. Time per round is 90 seconds. Grace Period, which I don’t quite understand, is 10. It’s the number of seconds from the time the first correct answer is given to the time the round ends. Hints, in number of letters given, are 3. Time between hints is 20 seconds. The wordlist is set for comics.

Ok, it appears iSketch hates me right now. It says I need to adjust my screen to 24 colors per inch or something like that. Any help, because it keeps on freezing up on me? ---

AofN and I are there now. Anybody else want to give it a try? Seems like it might be a hoot, but we need at least one more person to make it go. Click on his link above, then select SDMB from the menu on the right. ---
