Gather Around - DM seeks group

Re: Gather Around - DM seeks group
I've never had access to one of these 'group' sub-fora before. This feels like a watershed moment.
And now to play the Devil's advocate...
Is a group sub-forum necessary? What content is safe for all group members to see that others shouldn't? I'm not knocking the usefulness of a player group forum, particularly for DMs, but restrictive membership does contribute to cliqueness and it hides some of the richness of game that we're all here to enjoy behind closed doors as if it's only for the eyes of an elite few. Other players aren't going to be tempted to come and join in on a plot if they see a sub-forum that they're locked out of; they're more likely to feel unwelcome.

YOu're seeing specters and 'elitism' where there is none. DM campaigns are a fact of life in ALFA, as much as ad hoc DMage is. The only requirement to post and view it would be joining the sessions on MS.

Re: Gather Around - DM seeks group
few reasons.
A. a place for me to post stuff I want certain people to know IC.
B. A place where you could discuss things IC that people who are not close to you should not know.
C. an easy place for me to shed light on what happened in a session in an OoC manner that may not conceren all of ALFA.
It is not a must and there is merit to a global thread to exist.
Group memebership should not be something you need to go through rivers of blood and fire to get, its not an elite club and if its up to me we'll add damn near anyone who wants in...
However some of the best planing/debats/etc i've seen.. (or nearly the only debats/planinge etc i've seen) were dont in that form, i think it'll help.

<paazin>: internet relationships are really a great idea
Re: Gather Around - DM seeks group
And yeah... I mean we'll even take Adanu, how elitistic can it be?

Re: Gather Around - DM seeks group
As long as the name incorporates crates in some manner I'll be happy.
Re: Gather Around - DM seeks group
Will be on a bit late 10 AM ET most likely.

Re: Gather Around - DM seeks group
Might not be around for tomorrow's (Saturday) session until very late in the afternoon (GMT); about two or three hours later than usual.
Re: Gather Around - DM seeks group
How about a later start? around 9 AM ET?

Re: Gather Around - DM seeks group
My sleep is willing to pay that price.

Re: Gather Around - DM seeks group
9 AM will probably be murder for me since I'd have to stay up past the time I had alloted for this. Probably a 70% chance of me not being able to do a session at that time.

Re: Gather Around - DM seeks group
sounds like 9..will try to check in then and see what is happening.
Re: Gather Around - DM seeks group
If there is a session planned for today I'm likely to be a few hours late for it again. Maybe I can still slot in for the middle/end of something. Apologies.
Re: Gather Around - DM seeks group
Allright. Gots stuffs to do on Sat. So can't make this week.
How about another date?
I'll be occupied Euro eve/US morn on Sun, Mon, And tues as well...
I think I could do Fri 9 AM ET, instead. Could probably do other hours Fri as Well.
Please post avilablity,
im edging to start moving this plot forward a chapter or two.

Re: Gather Around - DM seeks group
Anything bar Thurs is good for me.
Re: Gather Around - DM seeks group
I could almost surely be around on CNS's old slot on Mondays. Other European evenings are touch and go, but if there's a couple of days advance knowledge, odds are decent. Except Thursdays this Autumn.
