Title: Starting a game!! Need players!!
Post by: KingElthur on September 23, 2008, 08:04:52 PM
I am looking to start a new group at BG on Monday nights. I know that there is currently another group that plays there, but we would respect their space and their game.

I am hoping to get a group of about 5 players and 1 GM/DM/ST/What have you.

I play DnD 3.5 and 4e (4e preferred), WoD, L5R, and am open to learning others. (I would like to possibly run a "Living Realms" Campaign given an opportunity.)

I am willing to run some games, but feel a balanced approach to that is best.

Please be able to show up consistantly and on time to the sessions!

Hi,

Just out of curiosity, how often would you want to meet?  Every week? Every other week?  I'm interested in your game, but I'm only available every other week.

Thanks in advance for the info.

With the monday night group it is more a matter of them respecting your space and game. They are louder than YuGio and wander the entire front.
Back room is open though.

Well, with the backroom open, I doubt there would be much issues, with the exception of the noise level on occasion.

I also prefer to play 4.e as well, but I'm open to playing 3.5 if that is the group consensus.

While I would prefer a weekly game, a bi-weekly game is a better option, especially for those with jobs.

Sounds like a plan.  Aside from us who've responded to this thread though, have others gotten back to you yet?  I'll be at the shop next Monday, if you'd like to meet in person (that is, if we haven't met already, and I'm just not placing your name to your face).

My name's Ben, btw. 

EDIT: Hey Drew, just realized it was you who started the thread.

Battleground will be starting LFR and Dungeon Delves on Monday nights sometime in October.  I expect both of these to be quite popular.

I would like it if whoever is interested in this group to play in each of those events at least once a month.

Once it gets going (starting in November) the format will probably look like LFR mod 1 on the first Monday of each month, Delve on the 2nd Monday, LFR mod 2 on the 3rd Monday, and the Delve again on the 4th Monday…  subject to change based on when Ben is in the state.

We will be looking for people to play and run both.  For those that do run games there is likely to be some small "reward".

I'll be making a post about this in much more detail very soon.

Well Drew knows I want in but won't be around till After my Honeymoon, so 10/20/08 or 10/27/08 work OK for me, I haven't done 4th ed yet, but want to learn, I do play 3.5, Star Wars, Serenity, World of Darkness, and am willing to learn.

I'm possibly interested in DND 4th ed with a monthly or bi-weekly schedule (at most frequent).  I'm learning DND for the first time, had my 2nd game run by Ron (yay Ron for being a kickin' GM) and keeping it all consistent with DND 4th ed would be best for me (less confusion.  You know us Republicans.  We're not so smart.)

I'm curious about the time thought.  Earliest I could attend on Mondays would be 6:30 but 7 would be better.  I work later on Mondays than on Wednesdays.  Don't let me hold up what others want to do.  Just proffering myself.  Cheers!

At least you're honest about, Jonathan, unlike some other Republicans who just may be serving out his final term in the next few months... :D

Jonathan, NO POLITICS ALLOWED!!!!!  You're messin' with the time/space continuum!

Well, if anyone can make it this week, anyone at all, we can start talking a bit. I know Scott won't be able to make it, he has too much going on at this exact moment, and for the next few weeks as well. If people can make it, we can talk about possible direction for the game, numbers of people, who will be in, start time, end time, attendance expectations. I have found putting all of this out on the table first thing the game and the group will be a better experience for every one.

I'd love to but am stuck at work until 9.  Don't see this Monday being a possibility for me but am interested in the outcome of discussion.
Title: Re: Starting a game!! Need players!!
Post by: KingElthur on September 29, 2008, 09:02:46 PM
I waited at BG for awhile tonight hoping people who were interested would show so we could discuss things. I knew Jon wouldn't make it, but I would have liked to see other people there, and to show some interest.

Hey Drew,

I came to the shop around 8:00 last night, but you had already left.  I'll be around Thursday and Friday night, if you're going to be around.  Let me know when you're gonna be around.

I would also be interested in a 3.5/4e game, been looking for one since the beginning of summer :(
I'll still have to wait and see what your final call is on the schedule though, as mine tends to be kind of random.

just as a side note, I'm pretty familiar with 3.5, but am still learning 4e, as i haven't had a chance to play a game of it yet

Title: Re: Starting a game!! Need players!!
Post by: KingElthur on October 03, 2008, 12:07:33 AM
Don't worry, 4e is still new to all of us, we are all still learning. If you are interested, I will be at the store monday from about 6 to probably 9, and that is the the earliest I will be leaving. Feel free to stop by and talk with me if you'd like.
Title: Re: Starting a game!! Need players!!
Post by: Jonathan on October 03, 2008, 12:22:24 AM
I wouldn't expect me to be there but if I am at the store this Monday I'll be tied up in WAS.  Won't know until the last moment.  Right now Mondays are shaky because of work.

I'll do my best to stop by the store on monday, but unfortunately i can't say its a definite.

My name is Todd by the way, i used to play MtG but haven't been to the store in like...2 years?

Hey Drew,

Sorry, but I won't be around next week.  Please do keep me posted with what gets discussed though.  I'll be around the following Monday (Oct. 13), if you're around then too.

Talk to you later,
~Ben

No worries bro, I will let you know whats going on.
Title: Re: Starting a game!! Need players!!
Post by: KingElthur on October 09, 2008, 12:09:14 AM
So, I met up with Todd on Monday night, we discussed a few things, such as a potential start and finish time, as well as the bi-weekly status of the game, and group size. We are hoping to meet up again this coming Monday, if anyone is interested.
Title: Re: Starting a game!! Need players!!
Post by: DrhankPhD on October 11, 2008, 06:54:27 PM
I'll try to stop by again on monday, but i might get stuck working late

probably a 50/50 chance

but besides that hopefully others will be there :)
Title: Re: Starting a game!! Need players!!
Post by: Rurouni Benshin on October 13, 2008, 10:44:18 AM
I'll probably get there closer to 9-9:30.  See you guys later!

What time is it today?  I have a 60% chance I'll be in Boston for most of the day depending on public transportation.
