Met Kan IC told me about monday nights, thing is, being a nurse, my schedule varies a lot but I'll be on this week end and next monday on GMT evenings and later on monday for the session. Otherwise I can usually be there from 10pm GMT+1 to 12pm. I have a free week end once every two weeks. Things will get a bit more complicated from late june on because I'll be a young father so...RL will let me less time to roam the Realms but I'll keep a reserved night for it at least once or twice every month.
Cya IG soon! =)

Hi peoples.

We need a ruling from zelknolf on what she is comfortable DMing as a party size. We stand at 5 as of last session, and I know DMing large numbers can be challenging. If she is ok with adding additional players, the more the merrier. :)

We're already out of my comfort zone for number of PCs I can manage in good faith and high detail; I can DM more, but that goes in the context that many are likely to feel neglected, simply from not having enough time to respond to all of the requests. Performance starts to degrade with more than four players-- but my actual hard cutoff has been eight in the past, and it has served me reasonably well, but my insistance upon having a "face man" for the group and the insisting upon only seeing dice when I've asked for them becomes more stern as the population climbs.

I don't have any trouble generating challenges for large groups, or thinking tactically about them (I actually enjoy that quite a bit); it's just the floods of text that I have to manage.

Also, Heero-- as the group's organizer, I hereby command you to pick a name, so that I can make a forum.

I vote for Heero's Heroes.
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.

I am fine with Heero's Heroes, but I am also ok with calling our group 'The Shaggy Dogs'.

A forum would be good, Zelknolf, call it as you please. We need to work some things out, 'specially loot division. No more MMO dice rolling for stuff.

Permissions OK on it?

You've totally got to build your group, though; I don't know how GSIDs translate to forum IDs, except for a few people, and I'm not sure if some people (JLM?) have dropped out or not.

No, no...definitely not dropped out. I've just had really bad luck the last two Mondays...had to work late into the night twice in a row now :(

We'll just have to play it as Torquil scraped up enough coin somewhere to hold up with rum and whores for the last two weeks :hic:

I don't have access. Don't know if this is intended to be private to players only, but I was under the impression MS DMs should be able to read goings on in-group so as to help DMage. While I might not be your main DM, knowing the touching points of your PCs would likely help me plan stuff that would be relevant to your PCs. And yes, I am hoping to see at least some of you during my DM times. Like tonight ;)
