RPGs and Tabletops The Word of SMARTY

I'm happy to run a large group- particularly cause this means there is less pressure on everyone to make it every week, like if we had like 8 players and sometimes all 8 show up, sometimes 4 that is fine.
Really group size isonly a problem if you guys want small groups/time issues.
If someone wants to run another group go ahead though.
Also there is a non-forumer keen to play depending on what time we end up with so we'll see how that goes.

Times: I still have no idea what times are good for people. If we can sort this out it would help sort out group numbers (as not everybody might be free the same time).
Like I've suggested some times but I need to know when people would be wiling to play.


Cocks: Suggestion tabled.

Snake: CoDM is the option for you. LIke with this party if you wanted to run some sessions things I could help you do mechanics and things, while I'm rusty I used to be mechanics lawyer supremo. Or if a second group comes along you could DM that with someone like DrkDragon (or I'd be willing to help out weeks when I have the time).

Two parties who oppose one another: DO ITTTTTTTTT. DO ITTTTTTTTTTTTT. This would be awesome idea. Have two DMS who share notes, parties do similar things. I've actually done this once before but the two parties had overlapping players- still worked fantastically. They managed to just keep missing each other till about level 16 when the all out show down saw evil prevail.
Hokay, so THE MAN has spoken. Let us hearken to his words!
* Time:
1) tacticslion (me): I'm out on Sundays; the best time is Tuesday or Wednesday around six-ish
2) TDK: TDK's times

Times which are good for me (Eastern Standard Time):
Saturdays and Sundays are good any time, so long as it is scheduled ahead of time. Monday and Wednesday night (6-8) I have a class, and other than that I have class during the day (until 3 or 4-ish). Tuesday, Thursday, Friday nights (and mon/wed after 8) I'm good to go up until like, midnight when I usually go to bed.

In my experience, sundays usually work best for online games. For obvious reasons. :P

3) Everyone else: ???
4) Profit

* Two Parties:
Smarty has approved and encouraged the idea, though he'd need someone to help him. If we do this, it's probably split along ideological lines (specifically alignment), but that would be really cool. Also, I have been repudiated! All aboard the Smarty-train! Even those in Nikose's! One suggestion would be that these two are part of rival organizations (churches, merchants guilds, or the like) or are rivals within the same one. This would allow for a lot of interesting RP aspects as we interact with the world around us and would give us a good reason from the get-go to be opposed. Alternatively we could be part of organizations who both are after the same things, even though normally we're not opposed. Alternatively, we could just be random thugs and ne'er-do-wells who happen to run into each other. Your choice, really. I'll still be trying to keep a tally of people in this game, however. As a proposition, Snake and DarkDrgon (the only two so far who have shown interest in DMing on this thread), would you two be interested in the option of Co-CoDMing? You'd take one party while Smarty took the other as one idea.

* Cocks:
Cocks have been tabled.

* Evil:
Evil doesn't really necessarily work in a 'slaughter you all' way. Really evil can be done well, or poorly. If we do evil, I'd like to see it done well. That's a far sight better than doing it poorly, and more fun. To me, at least. ALSO, all-evil doesn't mean there wouldn't two opposed parties: Bane v. Cyric. Mask v. Cyric. Talos v. Cyric. (you get the idea) Evil doesn't always get along. Also such things as Talos et. al. v. Bane et. al.

Fighter's got feats, and DM has the whole absolute power, but bard is where it's really at. Also, a nice constitution also suggests one thing to me: SPELLFIRE!

Please stop nesting swap tags, all this nesting frankly makes your posts a pain in the arse to read, and it actually impairs the functionality of opening and closing them a fair bit on top of that. Maybe tone it down with them a little in general, too.

Okay hey so I'm thinking I need to reduce my group size anyway, and I'd like to restructure a few people out of it that, I feel, just... aren't quite what a group of beginner players really need, especially with easily bruised egos and what not. I'm wondering if anyone would be willing to voluntarily back out of my group, and I'm cross-posting this between the two D&D threads.

Open times include.
Weekdays: Noon onward. PST. For three weeks including this one. Subject to change afterwords.
Weekends: Full day.
Both subject to military duty, sleep addiction, other roleplays, and hitting gay bars.

Character sheet is well on way to completion. For the sake of carrying the joke I am Faustus McGodcomplex. Neutral evil Shaper Psion, because as I learned Wilder really sucks.

Stats are,
STR: 9
DEX: 14
CON: 14
INT: 17(after levels)
WIS: 11
CHA: 11

Any suggestions would be fun. Also how much is standard gold?

That's what I figured. Oh just mild things, I got everything chosen including spells and skills but if people had something they prefer I shape to I'd do so.

A lot of my skills for example are tied into craft sculpting and alchemy so that minor creation is more useful.
