The worst case scenario may not be that you miss the game but that you do make it and it either ruins the next day or your exhausted throughout.

Always important to know when you are available at an good level. Joining games with times that don't work very well for you can be hazardous to both you and the game.

Don't worry about me, Friday's my day off (so I work thursday-friday night, but not friday-saturday) and I usually get up far earlier than I would on work nights, to try to get up at that time would only be an hour or so difference, I'm more worried about signing up, then ruining it by oversleeping and not being there.

Sorry, did you say you Can or cannot run steam?

I don't even know how stat gen works, I've never built any of the characters I've played.
It's random generation, lots of dice rolling. We cut corners and just have the Program do it to save time


EDIT: we currently stand at 3 definites and 1 maybe, any other takers?

I likely will come if it doesn't get too full, as I want other people to be able to play too, and i play in the tuesday games.

I would like to try out a diff character.

I'm quite curious about it, some of my d&d players (I dm) talked about it with high regards...

I add the steam group when i get off work and should be around on friday, so add another maybe, if you may?

Someone should run a forum based game.

Yeah... I'm trying a play by post SWSE game right now, and holy crap it is *SLOW*. All it takes is one person to not show up for a couple days and it halts everything. Imagine three or four rounds of combat when everybody has different schedules and some people have a day or two between posts... can take a matter of weeks to get through a single combat encounter.

Not to mention the RP segments. It's tough to make sure everybody has their appropriate say during an RP conversation... since if only two people are on, they might talk back and forth while the other characters are 'in the room' but their players aren't around, meaning they don't have the chance to interject things or help the conversation.

Seems like a poor way to play a PnP.

Ok, I'll try to make it to the game if I remember.

I generated a character, but I have no clue what all this means. Maybe I should actually read the manual first, I am not feeling confident in my ability to survive.

However...

At least I'm well stocked.

yea, it may not seem useful, but i bet it will save your life someday. i once used a mug with a picture of a warbot on it to cut open someone's face... it may not of ended the fight, but it helped.
