Well, everyone, it looks like we've finally managed to cobble a couple groups together ("couple" being the operative word here). I've decided to split our players into two separate parties, and I think it would probably work out best as follows:
Party AParty B- Azrael
- Olimar
- BlueWolf
- Devlin
These two parties will both be in the same campaign, but running in parallel plotlines. For scheduling, it looks like it would be best for party A to meet on Sunday from 4-8PST, and for party B to meet on Saturday from 4-8PST. Tonight I'll write up some information on the setting for you guys and probably send that out tomorrow. Also, if anyone has any questions on how I'll be interpreting certain rules, because there will definitely be a few little things that aren't by the book, you can ask in thread or send me a PM. Does this sound ok for everyone playing?
None.
Okaay, so what level are we starting our characters at? And will third party content be allowed?
None.
How lenient are you for people not showing up, because I'm not sure what my Saturday schedule is yet but I know I'll be working most of the day.

Sunday works well for me. I'm looking forward to the details. Be careful about burning yourself out though, especially if this is your first time as DM, bi-weekly is fine if you start to feel overwhelmed. Don't push yourself too hard.
None.

Third level. In fact, it'd be great if you could use the same character (or at least the same class and alignment) as you rolled up originally, because that was a big part of how I organized the parties. As for 3rd party content, you'll have to run it by me first. This is the general rule for all 3rd party content.

The first session will be an important one for story, so I'd really prefer if everyone showed up to that one. In later sessions, we can probably have a person missing from each party without too much of a problem, as long as I know ahead of time so I can adjust encounters and such.

I'd like to get through the first act (which I've planned to be four or five sessions) before I head back to school in August, but I can see slowing it down a bit.

...Oops.
I remade him as an evoc wizard ;_;
None.
It's still a wizard, though, so that's completely fine. If you didn't change alignments either, all the better.
None.
Another double post to remind people that the Silus party session (Azrael, Olimar, BlueWolf, and Devlin) is starting in an hour. You have the link in your PM box.
UPDATE: Start time delayed to 5PST in the hopes that anyone else shows up. If not, Silus will be delayed a week.

GL HF DD DS KA and all that jazz.

Arion people, I have a family dinner Sunday that I'll probably be at until pretty late, so I think I'm going to have to cancel this week's session. Silus people, we're still on for your first one.
None.
Schedule announcement yeah!
Going again this weekend. If we don't get at least two people to show up for Silus today, I'm just going to cancel that party and put anyone who wants to play into the Arion party instead (i.e. BlueWolf). Arion's good to go tomorrow at 4PM PST; we'll be finishing up the first session.
None.
Yaaaaaaaaay
Seriously guys we put too much freaking thought into circling that fort D:
None.
I got fired so now my schedule is cleared up, if I can still impolitely join in. Sorry! If I can, Fatal should PM me with anything I need to do.

You got fired, and I got hired. Came here to say that it's going to be hard to get in the game. Sundays might work better for me, since they are my only days off, but that means Sundays are busy as hell. I will try to make it, but it's not 100%
None.
Yaaaaaaaaay

Yeah. Who knew you could have that many and varied encounters while walking around a small fort's perimeter. It was fun though.
None.
My apologies for saying I was going to do this and then just disappearing. SEN's DNS move screwed with my connection and I didn't know what was going on. Would have loved to join, but like Bluewolf, I have a job and my time is more limited now. I'd still love to join in, but understand if that's impossible now.
"Parliamentary inquiry, Mr. Chairman - do we have to call the Gentleman a gentleman if he's not one?"
Forgot to say sorry for leaving early last session. I had to leave to get at least 3 hours of sleep before I left to work. I had informed Pieh that I would have to leave early. Is this week's session going to be at the same time?
None.

If you can do Sundays from 4 to 8 PST, it's no problem. I actually played your character for the last two sessions.

It is. Do you have the same schedule every week?
None.
I better not have gotten hit with my 23 AC. Can't touch this.
"Parliamentary inquiry, Mr. Chairman - do we have to call the Gentleman a gentleman if he's not one?"
You actually did get cut by one guy. He rolled a crit threat, but couldn't confirm it.

I guess since we're (more or less) done with the first session's events, I should post a recap soon. I'll get on that.
None.
