11:11 am - Anyone still watching this?

brainiacfive
Just curious if our members are still watching this.

I know we stopped using it for announcements due to the new members not having lj accounts, and I think Havoc was having issues reading it at work (but I think that's cleared up now).

I was thinking we might use it for the D&D game, since the non-ljers are unavailable for a few months.

11:50 am - Lovecraftian Fiction

Another neat link found today that's perfect for this group:

Lovecraftian Interactive Fiction.

9:53 pm - Third Saturday = 18th

brainiacfive
Who's up for a game?

I will be back in town the day before, and probably a little tired, but ready to go.

Will we have a quorum?

BTW, I will be out the third Saturday in December, the 16th, so we need to pick an alternate Saturday that month, or skip.

2:36 pm - This weekend?

havocthecat
Are we on for this weekend? If so, did you want to go for Saturday, or do a Friday night thing so we can put the kidlet to bed and not have to watch him while gaming? I'm amenable to house guests if you guys are amenable to plopping down in our slightly toy-laden living room.

And I keep bringing up the Friday night thing simply because I would love to have my full attention on the game, and I don't mind taping DW and BSG and watching them on Saturday or Sunday instead.

Or we could do a Saturday night thing too, again, for the same reasons.

3:24 pm - So second Saturday of the Month?

brainiacfive
Just to throw out the first suggestion, shall we make the second Saturday of each month be our 'set' time? For October that would be the 14th. For November, the 11th, and for December, the 9th.

11:00 am - All right, what to do?

brainiacfive
It's been suggested that we set a specific weekend each month to meet, with the hopes that this will get us into a routine after a few months. I've been trying to recruit an extra player or two, without definite success, though there has been interest, and an agreement that a set weekend would help with scheduling a regular appearance.

If nothing else, perhaps a set weekend will enable one of the couple of folks I have in mind to show up occasionally, and enable us to continue on.

So the question is, which weekend each month? First, Second, Third or Fourth? This can be a bit flexible, since in weird months like October, that have a partial weekend, we can decide which weekend is which, and of course we can always let the weekend slide to one side or the other on the calendar, if we know in advance that two or more folks will be busy.

Preferences for October/November/December?

10:54 am - Just clarifying ...

ivan23
Guys,

If I have to bail on dates, feel free to get together and run Loss as an NPC. I trust you all not to get me killed, I know that he's not likely to affect the survivability of other characters in combat, and it doesn't hurt my feelings in the least. I feel lousy about what happened this weekend, but honest, it's okay to game without me when these things happen.

6:29 pm - September?

havocthecat
I've been assuming we were doing 9/16 with an earlier start time.

Is that still on? I need to make plans for that month.

12:48 pm - What about it? - See previous entry?

brainiacfive
E-mail are no good, and LJ responses are buried to anyone not getting notified when the reply is more than a day old.

So, the question is, what are our plans this weekend?

Ivan is going to Faire Saturday.

I think Val and I are leaning twards that as well, with the possibility of inviting folks back to our place afterward for an Aelita/Mummy/Shadow marathon depending on time.

But what about Sunday?

10:49 am - So reschedule to Sunday?

brainiacfive
If Saturday is out, what about the 27th?

9:39 am - OK, I forget who has e-mail access and not, but the game is off this Saturday.

brainiacfive
So this was going to be a duplicate entry for the e-mail I sent last night, reminding folks about this Saturday being game.

But I've already gotten an e-mail from Ivan stating that he and his wife are going to Faire that day, so the game is off.

Val and I were tentatively planning to go on Sunday ourselves, so I don't know if this will change our plans. We need to paint the garage and transplant a tree or two sometime soon.

BTW, Val has been going through our video tapes, weeding out what we have on DVD, and she discovered I DID tape Aelita, Queen of Mars many years ago when Sci-Fi was running a Silent film festival. Who knew...

11:45 am - Game Date Planning?

havocthecat
Okay, I just made this friendslocked post to have all my summer and (early) fall planning stuff written out someplace on the internet. Which will, theoretically, make it easier for me to plan my weekends long in advance.

Anyway, I thought I'd throw it out there to see if we could go for maybe more than one date in August to get together for the League game. Possibly to see if we could pinpoint a September date too.

I know, I'm going awfully far in advance, but summer is usually a more insane time than usual for me.

So...lemme know what you think?

3:57 pm - So, next time... the League

brainiacfive
Looks like the consensus was we are done with the PTA game for now. I gave folks the option of a new playtest, but I've learned the timeframe probably won't work out, so maybe later. Plus I think we work better when we focus on one game at a time.

So, back to the League?


And we need to firm up our next meeting. Last I heard was 4th weekend of July. Sound good?

Do we need a recap of what happened last?

1:09 pm - Before I forget... which game next?

brainiacfive
There was some call for a return of the Jazz Era League, but we left things undecided.

Also, when next shall we meet?

An additional wrinkle )

3:09 pm - 1pm Start Time? Tina?

brainiacfive
Tina, are you still wanting a 1pm start time? I know that you requested an earlier start after last time to get the little one home before a major meltdown.

Also, Val got e-mail from Heather saying she was visiting you this weekend. Should we expect her along tomorrow?

11:12 am - Game Date?

havocthecat
We're set for the third Saturday this month, right?

7:54 pm - OK... how about the 29th of April?

brainiacfive
So, Ivan can't make it the 22nd, but fortunately we have one more Saturday in April. It will conflict with the other game I'm in bi-weekly now, but I'm willing to skip it to get a session in (and since they have 6 players, they can miss Val and I without cancelling).

So, how about it, the 29th at 1pm (for Tina's sanity)?

11:34 am - Next Meeting - April 22nd!

brainiacfive
Unless there is a followup, meet as usual, our place, at 2pm.

We still need to determine which spotlight ep we are doing, and get scenes for the 'next time on', so I can start ruminating on the details.

8:43 pm - Sounds like we're moving to the end of April, then...

brainiacfive
Options are April 15th (hopefully I'll have my taxes done by then) or the 22nd.

Well, that should give us plenty of time to discuss whose episode it is next, and get "Next on..." scenes suggested, right?

5:42 pm - Next time....

brainiacfive
I'm going to be busy Saturday the 25th. How do the other Saturdays look for people?


Thanks to Ivan for stepping up for the spotlight episode. Who are we going to do this time?

And we need to work up "Next time on..." scenes, like Ivan did, to help shape next time, too.

Thoughts?
