Game Scheduling

I was thinking about re-arranging game scheduling for convenience of most players.

what i was thinking was:

saturday afternoon- Dragon blooded, with occasional interuptions of dd
saturday evening- Exalted, with occassional interuptions of final knights or dd
wednesday- random evening, boardgames, dd, movies, whatever

i like that a lot. One thing that I think would be fun is if we alternated games (also gms) on saturdays.

yeah, i agree, that's why i want to occassionally do something different. main thing about that though, is i don't want to do an every other week style schedule for anything, as that always makes people unhappy.

if it is a good game, people want to play it every week, and are disappointed when they have to wait two weeks for it. and they forget stuff. i would kind of like a 3 week rotation, or something like that. use 1-shot or 2-shot games to break things up. josh runs a feng shui adventure. adam runs dd. thael or jason or me pull out a board game. just something to break the monotony, and that you wouldn't want to play week after week. and then we could also do something during the week too.

another option is splitting into smaller play groups. do two different things. especially for the day time. we don't have to do stuff in the same location either, and only a few people are doing dragonblooded right now. mike, zack, jason, danielle, emily, are all doing other things and could all potentially play something if they wanted to.

Ya. I really need something that is compatable with my personal schedule, and this is sounds great. I like visting my parents often, and with the proposed schedule that would work.

while there is no truth that there is too much of gaming... the more I am prevented from doing other things the more important/desired they become... and I already know I am the biggest fan of catching movies in the theater and I do crave that activity when there are several movies out I have yet to see... not so much just right now but 1 or 2 more and I will really want to go

not when I am up till 2am friday and saturday and not sleeping late either day due to other activities... take yesterday... I woke up long enough to get movie times and schedule my day but I fell asleep waiting for time to leave and did not wake till 6 hours later (about 4pm)....

so working friday and gaming friday night, sat afternoon and evening till the wee hours does make it tough to be up and about early sunday

the sched i'm proposing does not include friday night.

but speaking of this, are we still playing wednesday, or just doing saturday?
