New Weekly Campaign?
|

I'm considering this. Mondays are typically bad for me, but Tuesday, Wednesday and some Fridays do work alright.
Someone want to twist my ummm arm? *winks* How soon would we be talking about starting this up (a couple weeks from now, or later than that, or...)?

Yes, I'm generally available on weekdays. What time zone is the server? I'm in central time zone, Louisiana. As to some members not being available, this doesn't matter too much to me. For me, it's all about the story, so if someone misses one night a week, I can pretend that character is there, just not being overly active (having a down day, maybe?). The down side to missing a night is you just don't get to respond to the events you missed. There are other ways to handle missing players, like some side quests or events, etc. Point being, not a big deal to me but handle it how you wish.
I'm including some ideas here in case they help shape your thinking about the campaign (a character with a goal): The Thayan character I've always wanted to play is a red wizard, but a revolutionary. He was born in Thay, has pride in Thay, loves his homeland (its natural beauty at least) but hates Thay's politics. Thus, his goal is to lead an underground resistance movement. He isn't naive enough to believe he can change Thay's way of doing things overnight, but he hopes that by developing a stronghold of morality, he will rally people to his cause and give others the courage to defy Thay's rule through fear. My character's goal would be to find and attract to his cause all like minded individuals. That would be a pretty natural way for the group to come together. Basically, I see my character being a prodigy at the Thayan school who becomes bored with their politics and leaves to seek his fortune and bring his vision of a free Thay to life. And in case it helps at all, my character would not be "good," probably True Neutral, maybe Lawful Neutral. His quest is one of freedom and balance, not righteousness.

I can do a little arm twisting... ;)
The server is in the Central Time zone and, on nights like last night for example, we do sometimes get up to 10+ around the 7:00-10:00 PM time frames, so it does seem like a pretty popular time when people are generally available. So far from the five of you it looks like a possible combination of Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays will be the best days to hold it (assuming Karilynn decides to join in!). We can maybe plan to start two weeks after we have 5 people committed to the campaign. That should give everyone enough time to vote on what you would like to see your campaign focus on, and develop character concepts and how the party knows each other. So assuming we get 5 people this week, we'd potentially either start these on the week of October 18 or 25. I do want to reiterate that I do not want to hold a campaign session unless everyone in the party is involved. We can, and will, work around schedules and skip weeks if needed, but all 5 players will need to work out a time thye can be on the server together. So if you are planning on joining, please be prepared to perhaps compromise on your playing time every once in awhile to accommodate the rest of the group because they will be relying on you to be there at the agreed upon date/time. I am making an all-or-nothing requirement so there is perhaps a little more added responsibility for the players involved to show up for the campaign events. We won’t need to schedule all six weeks just to start with (so you don’t need to worry about what you’re doing 6 weeks from now!). We'll just start with the first couple sessions's times set right away once we get the party forum set up. After that we can do 1-3 session times at a time. I will also say that if 6 weeks of running the campaign and balancing schedules seems too long or gets to be too difficult, I am also open to shortening the campaign to 4-5 weeks it if the players involved wish.

Alright, consider me twisted. ;)
I'd say we aim to start around the 27th, to give us time to organize and plan.

The week of the 27th sounds fine to me. With Karilynn that makes 5, so let's go ahead and give this a whirl. You'll each be getting a PM from me once the new forums are available (hopefulyl sometime this weekend).
If there is anyone else that is interested in this though, please feel free to PM me.

I am interested but it depends on what day.. saturdaY IS REALLY BAD FOR ME .. FRIDAYS ARE BEST..
10-10-2009, 12:00 PM
OK Jechal, we can certainly fit 6 people in too (and it's great to have you back!). It looks like weekends (at least saturdays then) are definitely out.
I'll get to work on the forums ASAP or check if KTA is available to help set them up. Looking forward to this... :)

OK folks - KTA very graciously and quickly setup the forum and necessary group for those involved in this.
Ahku, Looswilly, Darknyss, mineption, Karilynn, and Jechal - you should all have access to it. Let's go ahead and move specific discussions there. If one of you does not see that forum though, please PM me. Thanks!!
10-11-2009, 08:47 PM
Well... from the looks of the group... I think I'll go with the inverse of Ahku... I'll go with a rogue with a spot of fighter... a fellow buccaneer (we sailed together methinks)... who'll also go with CG.
