The Campaign Builder's Guild

Perhaps we could do something, me and you, to wrap up Eareg for the moment and get him set on a long side journey so that when I return we can have him run into the group again.

Sounds good.  I thought a decent side-quest that would take sufficient time might be retrieving the relic of the Poxbringers from the City of Creeping Flesh in order to get his Guild Mark back.  I don't think the group formally decided to help you get the relic, and even if they did, Eareg seems like the kind of guy who might slip away quietly without telling anyone.

In the interim, we could either have a short adventure in Macellaria as a way of launching Eareg on his way, or we could have a solo wilderness trek representing the first part of his long journey - whichever you prefer.

An update about my availability- circumstances have changed and I'll be unlikely to be available for a late-feb. CE game; however, starting the second week of March, I should be available, depending on the day of the week and the starting time. I am updating my availability times in the topped thread for that purpose.

I should also update my availability as I now have a job. I don't have set hours, though, so the most I can say is, I can't do saturdays at all, and there will be the occasional other day of the week or two that I won't be able to do, but they will change. Sunday or monday evenings/nights (GMT.. so that's afternoon/evening in EST? You're five hours behind me, right?) might be the best time for me.
Like I said though what weekdays I work will change round a bit from one week to the next, so if it needs to be a different day to suit everyone else, then that's cool, I'll just have to miss the occasional session.

Which has finally seen some use! Yay!

Time zones are of course going to make this very tricky but I think the best bet (as far as I can make out) would be to attempt to run this on Mondays starting at around 5:30-6 PM EST and running for a couple of hours at a time.  This would be quite late for the GMTers and a tad early for the ESters, but I can't see a better compromise.  Does this sound doable to everyone interested?

EDIT: If anyone can discern a superior time-slot, please post your suggestion.  This part of organization is always a head-ache, but in the end it usually works out.

That would be midnight for me and school next day at 8... Can't say its a good time for me.
(discovered that wolframalpha.com has no problem calculating between time zones e.g. writing "6 PM EST to GMT+1").

Damn, you're GMT+1, not GMT, right.  Would Wednesday at the same time be more doable?

The only other time I can think of is maybe Fridays at 6:30 PM EST.  I could *just* swing that, but I might be late some sessions, and they couldn't be too long.

Well, I just updated my availability- I could from time to time be available on Saturdays if that works better for everyone.

Monday would be best, but I see the difficulties with that from others' points of view.

My availability is largely subject to the whimsy of fate, but should still closely adhere to my original availability (only Tuesdays and Thursdays are right out). Anything else-- with some foreknowledge-- I could probably swing without much difficulty.

Friday at 6:30 EST works for me.

6:30EST at any day is too late for me.

OK, we're kind of stuck here.  The EST/GMT time zone divide, coupled with schedules, is proving problematic.  I'm not free on weekends and in any case I expect a lot of people wouldn't be available on given weekends anyway, so attendance would probably by very spotty if we tried to do it on a Saturday or something.  That leaves weekdays, and unfortunately that leaves us with a lot of incompatible schedules.  Friday is pretty much out as Ghostman and I have conflicting schedules that day; I could make early Friday but then Coyote Camouflage couldn't make it.

I can't see any good solution, but one potential compromise might be to start the game at 4:30-5 EST (9:30-10 GMT) Monday or Wednesday and have latecomers in the EST join in when they can.  Light Dragon, Coyote Camouflage, and Conundrum Crow are all available late on Wednesdays, so a slightly longer session might be tenable.

Would this be too late in the day for you, Ghostman?

Coyote Camouflage, were you still planning on spectating at first, or did you want to jump right in?

If all players could post their available times here that might be helpful.

Tearing out my hair a little here...

EDIT: Maybe I should run two games that occasionally intertwine.  Sounds crazy but I could probably do it.  Ambitious?  Certainly.  Insane?  Perhaps... but then again a mad GM may be an asset in a CE campaign.

Only half joking... anyway Vreeg runs like 3 campaigns while working a full time job and raising a kid, doesn't he?  HOW DOES THE MAN DO IT?!?

Wine. Lots and lots of wine.
