And while I have your attention (gaming)

[drwex]

I'm looking for another tabletop gamer. We play D&D 3.5+house rules and Pathfinder (1 I suppose I must say these days). We play Sunday afternoons. I have a preference for people who can be at most gaming sessions though games are set up to deal with people not present. We have a good-sized group in part so nobody feels like their absence is going to keep games from happening. We have one player who is attending remotely (by Skype) so that's an option, too.

I have a preference for a non-male gendered person, but I'll consider all people. The game is adult-themed, so please no younger persons (we've already told our teen "no").

Our game style mixes hack-and-slash with roleplay. Pathfinder play is usually through their prepared modules. D&D is a mix of modules and home-created content.

We don't do a holistic "everyone is out to save the kingdom/slay the dragon" shared goal thing. Rather, the group is friends and acquaintances that help each other... deal with the deep mystery of the city while avoiding getting overly tangled in its politics... and negotiate the running of a large merchant household far away from the Motherland, where home keeps trying to claw back control and by the way the guys who put you in charge of this household have apparently gone AWOL... while one member of the group has gone through the first rounds of training with a secret society that has completely changed his view of reality and now wants help completing his initiation quests... well, you get the idea.

Things are complex, and interrelated from time to time, and there is a very good reason why the party are currently trying to perform a near-miracle on the 45th Plane of the Abyss without everyone dying. We just might have lost track of that reason somewhere on the road to here.

Also, we have some pretty hilarious session notes.

If you're interested, or know someone who might be, leave a comment or contact me off-DW. I can't guarantee that I see personal email sent here.

i.... am interested. i dont know how awesome my sundays are... and i am near your house on weekdays not weekends but i am interested....

Cool. You seem to have a super-busy schedule so I'm not sure you want to sign up for more weekend activities (we might be moving games to Saturday due to player conflicts) and we're not able to make the games happen on weeknights.

If you'd like to talk more, that would be great.

i woudl honestly need to look at my schedule. and your game schedule. weekly? every other week? How long is each session?

[drwex]

Ideally, we play on odd Sundays (1st, 3rd and if it exists 5th). In reality, we have so many conflicts that we try to get quorum on each weekend and see which ones have quorum. The Pathfinder games tend to run with a smaller group; D&D has a quorum rule of players >= (characters+NPCs+2)/2 - at the moment that's 5.

Ideally, we game noon-thirty to 6:30. In reality, people bring lunch and are late and chat/catch up so we rarely start games before 1. If we're mid-battle we might run a little long; if people have evening commitments we stop early.

so funny story. looking at my weekends between now and arisia i dont much have free time. but. it is mostly filled with things that i would have scheduled elsewhen if i had a different comitment that day. my 2nd sunday is almost never ever free, but the rest, can be scheduled into if done so well in advance. lets talk at corp?

[drwex]

Yah. I won't be at meeting tonight (Pygment will, and has your shirt) but we're both planning on Corp.

That meeting being a prime example of a thing we try not to schedule game on top of.
