I wish I could, supadupaman, but I have to get up at 5:30 AM EST every morning, so those kind of hours just aren't really available to me :(

Okay, here's the thing. I can't change the time. We'd have at least one person with conflicts if we did, and also conflicts if we don't. So I've got to stick with the time we set originally. I'm sorry that this causes you conflict, Supadupaman. I wish you could join us. If your schedule changes and the conflict is removed, let me know, and we'll see if we can't work you back in.

In the meantime, we have only three players right now. That's not really enough. I'd like to get back up to five, but (especially considering that once in a while, somebody is going to miss a session) three is simply too few. We are going to have to recruit again.

So, if you know anyone who might find this game right up their alley, make them aware of this thread, and the fact that we need a couple more people.

Mondays 7-10 EST actually works for my schedule...

For it was all ripe for dreaming
Oh, how we danced away all of the lights
We've always been out of our minds

:P

I think I could actually commit to this game now that my schedule is starting to take shape. It'd be a bit of a shot in the dark for making my character at this point, and I suck at point buy...

But color me interested. Since you're a crayon, that shouldn't be hard.

Well, brainstorm a few ideas and talk to me about them. I have three characters submitted thus far, and none of them were written without a few back-and-forth PMs. I am always ready to answer questions and help with brainstorming.

Anyway, welcome aboard.

Player Search Process Update!

Nothing really has changed!

Ideally, I would like to have five players in the group. Five is my target number of players. I would love to have five of you. I will go with four; heck, I'll even go with six. But five'd be peachy keen.

Right now we have three confirmed, and ElDo as a potential fourth, pending schedule stuff. All the players I have so far are really great and awesome, but three is simply not enough people.

What I am trying to say is that there is still room in this group, and that I am waiting on additional players before we start.

Good? Good. Tell your friends.

"Then shall the last battle be gathered on the fields of Valinor. In that day Tulkas shall strive with Melko, and on his right shall stand Fionwe and on his left Turin Turambar, son of Hurin, Conqueror of Fate; and it shall be the black sword of Turin that deals unto Melko his death and final end; and so shall the Children of Hurin and all men be avenged." - J.R.R.

Okay, here's the deal.

I just got word from ElDo that he can't play in this game after all, which, while completely understandable, is news that rather bums me out. Also, to my knowledge, there isn't anyone else in the CBG community who has the interest and the availability to join us. Certainly no one has PMed me about it.

Clearly, waiting around for players to spontaneously appear is getting us nowhere. It's time to take the search elsewhere.

I've asked around in my standard IRC group, with no success so far. (Although I did get one "maybe in a couple of months" response, which I really hope works out.)

Anyway, I'm posting a "Players Wanted" notice on another online community in which my roots are deep: Forumopolis. I post there under the handle Brent Not Broken. That place is very active, so we will get our two extra players from there (and hopefully, a few more regulars over here, in the process.)

Anyway, just wanted to let you know where we are in the process.

For your viewing pleasure, a link to the Forumopolis thread related to this game.

Update: One minute after I post that thread, there is already a declaration of interest. I told you that place is fast.

Update on the player search.

Forumopolis surprised me by being completely unhelpful. I'll keep trying, but it looks like I'm striking out there.

However! I have word from an interested individual that his Monday evening schedule is clearing up in about two weeks, and he intends to join our game, bringing up the number of players to four. Four is an acceptable minimum, and I am quite frankly weary of the search for players. When all four players are ready, we will start.

I feel like I have a huge amount of good news today!

We are at five players! The full list has been updated, but EldritchEvil and Aries Walker are joining the game.

We will start our Monday night schedule as soon as
1. I get character sheets from EldritchEvil and Aries Walker,
2. Crit returns from his weird, wild, wacky hospital stay, and
3. EldritchEvil finishes up some real-life preparation and frees up his Monday night time slot.
I expect all of this to take no more than a week or two. So we should be starting very soon!

I am super excited, and you should be, too.
