Robb mentioned this, but I think it needs it's own thread. We have at least four people playing now: JB$, Robb, Rickmode & Duncan. We have two that may play at some point: Eddy's Geist & Barb101.

ISSUE #1
===========
I think we're trying to get a regular multiplayer time going.

Robb seems pretty intent on Thursday nights, which won't work for some of us, but that might be fine.

Duncan and I like Tuesday nights and various times on the weekends.

Recommendation: Regardless of the group plans, anyone who is playing should start their own multiplayer game (NOT single player), that way you have a game that you can play solo with your characters and/or one that someone else can join in on. Also, this allows you to take at least one of your characters through a game as the protagonist.

Setting up AIM and putting everyne on your list might be a good idea if you're going to play a lot. You should also note that scroll books, bags of holding, and gem bags will not transfer between hosts.

So when can folks play? I'll *try* to join in Robb's Thursday game until Survivor starts, but I'd rather it be on another day altogether. Wednesday is out of the question.


ISSUE #2
=============
Throne of Bhaal.

See my final note in the other thread, but this is a great addition to the game, even if you only have low-level characters.

I can't install it on my main computer and still play multiplayer with you all, so I'm playing half my characters on a laptop right now. Jimmy should have ToB in his hands early this week and since Jimmy is usually who I play with, read between the lines (and read the other thread).

My Characters:
===================
Level 19+ (Throne of Bhaal):
Ranger*
Swashbuckler
Sorceror
Archer
Monk

Level 7 - 9 (ready to jump into other people's games):
Kensai*
Barbarian
Sorcerer
Ranger/Cleric Multi
7-Fighter/8-Thief Dual
Skald

Tuesdays is fine with me.

What time?

How early could everyone start on Tuesday?

I could be in by 5:30 or 6:00pm, but later would be fine too.

I'd prefer 9 PM Tuesday so I can hit the gym first... Gotta combat the atrophy from sitting on my ass all day at work!

That's fine but it'll be a short game in that case. You may get me until 10:30.

I'm trying to work around the game instead of the other way, but clearly Rick's needs come first.

Of course my needs come first.

There is, however, no reason I can't join a game in progress...

Alright, 6ish.

John and I are confirmed. Rick will have to join in later.

6 is a little too early for me. 7 or 7:30 would be better. I can also join the game in progress.

Ehhh... glad I didn't make that extra stop tonight so I could be home at 6pm. http://bushwhacked.net/ubb/redface.gif

Oops. Sorry. Next time I'll bring the beer.

Any idea why Jimmy kept dropping? Is he on dial-up?

So, do we want to try again sometime, or have you written me off?

I'm still interested, but...

1) Right now, I'd prefer to play passenger in someone else's game.

2) If someone says '6ish' they shouldn't disappear until '8ish'. I got things to see, people to do...

I just finished 'Throne of Bhaal' so I'll be doing striclty my lower level guys, which should fit in with what you guys are doing.
