[blockquote=Light Dragon]Mass Combat seems like an interesting novelty. Which systems were you looking at? [/blockquote]Mongoose did a 3.5 one that looks decent and I also found this.

I think Kaius would enjoy commanding a zombic phalanx.

I think for me mass combat would destroy immersion. I'd much rather just play my character.

I think some mass combat would be pretty awesome, just as long as it's not too rules-heavy; quick and dirty would be more fun, I think.

I agree with Kind on Mass Combat.

As long as its not turning into a full blown miniatures game, I'd be down with giving it a try. I'm not sure how useful Kol would be with that particular set of SRD rules.(Though I imagine him with a fast-moving group would be a bane upon ranged units).

As for Wednesdays? They work for me. I missed it this week simply because the site was down, and I don't currently use any other form of IRC.

I think this Wednesday is best for me.

I'll ponder mass combat more.  You guys probably wouldn't be unit commanders or whatnot, but maybe if you get caught in the middle of a large battle or something we can use the mass combat rules... we'll see.  I certainly don't want to jeopardize immersion.

On a somewhat related note, for the next few sessions the part is with a small group of Pale Legionnaires, and you guys get to control them in combat so that battles don't turn into 75% me rolling dice against myself.  I'll provide stats and you guys can divvy up who you want to play, but basically there will be a couple of men-at-arms, an archer, and an executioner/man-at-arms.  I'll probably retain control of the temporary squad leader, Salamander (their serjeant is dying of hagman poison at the moment).

>>probably wouldn't be unit commanders

Probably wouldn't... or Probably shouldn't. :D

Speaking of jatayi shenanigans, LD, did you have a specific (or vague) goal (or goals) for Wispy's night of revelry?  If not, I can just go nuts and invent something for a solo session - in the past those have gone very well, I think.

Wispy intends to:

* March in the Parade
* Make Ghul Friends (Ghul Music competition... since Jatayi are the only bards in the world he's pretty confident he'll win)
* Play pranks on the living

I can probably run a couple of them if that works.

Just remembered, it's my friend's birthday this wednesday! After this week wednesdays will be fine for me, though.

I won't be around tomorrow beyon Seraphine's game, I'm afraid, but I'll be online on Wednesday.

Kindling, maybe once the party gets to Lophius we can run a solo/make-up session???

That would be very cool indeed :)

So, we should pick a new day for the game!

I am free on Tuesdays and Thursdays all day, unless things change.

On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I will be available from about 6:30pm EST onwards, or up to about 3pm EST if we wanted to play earlier.

If absolutely necessary I could swing weekends, but they'd likely be shorter sessions than our current ones.

If we can't find a suitable day that works for at least a majority of the party, we can always go on hiatus, perhaps with a solo session here or there, and regroup in the new year.

I can do:

Mon: 10am-2pm
Tue: 10am-4pm
Wed: 10am-2pm
Thu: 11am-4pm
Fri: 10am-10pm
Sat: 10am-10pm
