Group sizes/multiple groups:
I really don't think I have the time to run two sessions a week. The way my schedule works is that I have periods with nothing to do then periods where I'm incredibly busy so like I could do it some weeks but not every weeks. Coudl be iffy. 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.

just so you all know SmB is making a class to represent my characters abilities but it will be based around science from the age of enlightenment + some fantastical elements. basically no character sheet from me until I have a set of class mechanics to work with.

The evil party must all have names that contain some form of the word Evil.
Ytsan McBaddy is their leader.

Hmm as for times I'm available generally I will be around from 6pm+ Gmt0 until roughly midnight except for Wednesdays on the week end I'm good for any time as long as I know in advance so basically 24 hours a day for Saturday and Sunday.

If one party was EEEEEEEVIIIIIIIL wouldn't that mean the opposing party has to be all GOOOOOOOOOOOD?

Sifright · 04-06-2011, 06:42 AM

good and neutral can oppose evil. Neutral people would generally oppose evil more than good for the sheer fact that good people wont try and butcher them outright where as evil people WILL be more inclined to do so.

Though if we're going evil, there's a couple of very attractive options for Monks. Let me rejigger my sheet.

So would this be tongue-in-cheek Chaotic Stupid Evil or would we actually be going for believable villains? :P

Why not both? I mean, I'm thinking my guy is eventually going to be eating souls, but that doesn't mean he can't be a believable person with real reasons for his soul eating ways.
