I'm fine with that, as long as you don't heckle my players. :)

i'm currently looking over the setting, and would love to be in on this ( i've wanted to play in a pbp again since the last one i was in got cancelled).

I may have some trouble working it into my schedule, but let me know if there's still room for me, and i'll see what i can do.

Brent, count me in.  I like the Locksmiths idea, and also the Grand, Spiraling Waltz.  I can pretty much only guarantee, of your guaranteed time slots, Monday evenings.

As for the ideas the first four in the first post are listed in order of my preference.

So far for interest it looks like we have:
Ishmayl
TheUrbanMonkey
Poseidon
Natural 20

Not sure whether this game got stalled or anything (no action in it's set up for a few days), but i would like to be added to that list of people who are interested.

I'm currently partway through reading the setting and it looks awesome.

so, lemme know if this is still in the works if you could.

all of the campaign ideas look great, but i am especially interested in the Locksmith's group, or High crime in low places.

This is definitely still in the works. It's just shaping up slowly. Within the next couple of weeks, I'll be moving into a new apartment and starting grad school, and I want to wait until I'm settled in before starting the game, to make it less likely to have to change the game's schedule around later.

In the meantime, I recommend that all interested players just browse the setting a little bit each day. I'll try to post updates as often as I can, to make this more worthwhile. Just try to get a feel for the general ambience, envision what sort of character you might like to play, or what sort of game you might like to participate in, or what sort of things you might like to see. This will make the rest of the process go much more smoothly once we really get rolling.

Remember that the list of possible scenarios I posted is not an exhaustive list. If you get a cool idea while browsing the setting, post about it, and maybe we can form it into a campaign.

I also recommend that all interested players take a half hour or so to familiarize themselves with IRC before we start. I don't anticipate problems with our technology, but you never know.

Looks like we have five players: Poseidotune, Crit, Ishy, Supadupaman, and Urban Monkey. That looks like a good group; I'm going to arbitrarily set the limit at five for my own sanity's sake.

If you are reading this and you aren't one of those five people, feel free to express interest anyway. You never know when someone is going to have to bow out due to schedule incompatibility or other real-life conflicts, leaving a space for you to step in.

In terms of scheduling, can we try and tentatively pencil in Monday night? Is there anyone who knows that Monday night will be a problem?
