Rotku's Game Sessions
Mentioned this in my DM Drought thread, but wanted to separate thread for it.
I've had so much fun DMing the past few weeks and really felt that it has gone well, so I've decided to stay on longer than I had originally planned. However, as Uni has started up again, I won't be on as much as the past three or so weeks. What I will do, instead, is set aside one time (Thursday, 11am my time - that's 14 hours from this post) which I will be on every week, and then I'll try to pop on other times when life permits. Unfortunately, I cannot really push that time much later - although could manage earlier if people wish.
I'm currently drawing up an outline for the plot. What I will be trying to do is make it lots of short mini-plots, all dealing with a central theme. That way we won't require the same people to be there each week, and people can come and go as they choose (and of course, that way if I need to leave for what ever reason, plots won't be hanging). There will, however, be a central theme, and it will have an introduction, a climax and a conclusion - just spread over many smaller stories.
The theme will be law and order. This does not mean it's restricted to Lawful characters only. In fact, it's completely the opposite. I want to play with the idea of the Law and Punishment in (a) a medieval society; and (b) a place of high magic. There may be times when the chaotic path may provide an easier road or a greater reward than the lawful one. The games will be open to absolutely everyone, provided their PCs can work as a team (and provided the PCs players aren't demanding arrogant twats who annoy me - no one in mind here, just in general).
So I'm posting this here for a number of reasons.
First : To as a general announcement. Rotku will be DMing at 11am Thursday, kiwi time, every week. That's just under 14 hours from this post.
Second : To let people know that next week I won't be DMing, and maybe the following one. I need a bit of time to get everything drawn up and plotted out.
Third : Please post below if you are interested. I know I have already asked that once before, but that's been long lost in that DM Drought thread.
Forth : Feedback! Feedback! Feedback! If you participated in my last plot line at all - even if you just made a brief appearance for one game - let me know if you have any feedback!

Re: Rotku's Game Sessions
Sheeeit, dude! I'd love to do this, but the time kinda sucks... BUT!... Since Fridays are short days for me, I suppose it may be possible to work something out and hit the sack soon after coming home Thursdays with an alarm for the proper time. One question, though. How long will each session be, give or take? Since these mini-plots will be starting around 4AM my time, I need to know if I'll have time to get ready for work once it's over.
On a side note, wish me well, as I'm preparing my resume for applying to the same company Rorax/Sharon.peer works. If I get the job, that'll leave me free on Fridays, in any case, making life a shitload more enjoyable.

Re: Rotku's Game Sessions
Just to be sure I converted this correctly...
New Zealand is +12 GMT... My timezone is US Eastern...
So this would be ... Thursdays, 7PM Eastern US?
Could someone please confirm?
If this is the case... I'd love to be a part.
EDIT: Or is this WEDNESDAY in the US?

Re: Rotku's Game Sessions
I'll make sure to drop by every once in a while. Thanks, Rots!
People talk of bestial cruelty, but that's a great injustice and insult to the beasts; a beast can never be so cruel as man, so artistically cruel.
Re: Rotku's Game Sessions
Just got word about fifteen minutes ago that one of my class times have been moved to Thursday nine am. Two hours before the game was planned to start. Now I could theoretically get back in time but it'll mean another few hours travelling, so for now this will be on hold. I'll try my best to work something out but I'm not promising anything.

Real life always comes first! 

Re: Rotku's Game Sessions
Okay, Thursday's have fallen through, due to silly university changing times on me. May be on the occasional Thursday, but I can't promise anything.
HOWEVER! The Hockey (talking proper hockey here, not Ice Hockey, Roller Hockey, etc) season is drawing to a close in the next month, which will leave my Sundays free. So I'm looking at getting something up and running for then.
So how do Sundays work for people? I'm flexable with times, from about 10am (my time) to 10pm (my time). Keeping in mind this is 4-6 weeks away.
To convert that, it comes to 6pm-6am EST Saturday; 3pm-3am PST Saturday; 11pm Saturday - 11am Sunday BST.

Saturday nights US are great for this geographic bachelor. I should be able to make most of them, unless I travel home.
