Never in a million years would I have imagined the amount of public interest from folks in joining this online campaign of mine! The *only* place I've advertised that this game was in the works, is over at Reddit, in the /r lfg forums, and user feedback has been insane. My core player group formed in a less than a few hours of posting that I was looking for players, and a full list of alternatives was generated as soon as folks started waking up and reading the boards. Since then (in less than 18 hours), I've now had over 100 requests from personal messages and topic posts asking to join the game!! /FAINT!! Apparently, something with this idea resonates with people, and I'm hoping I can live up to players expectations and everyone enjoys themselves playing, as much as I always do when running! Our current player list is: Lori M. Lilith L. Andrew -- Some random dweeb who didn't bother to show up, offer any notice that he was going to miss, and then just left the game without any sort of notice. I'll have to make certain that he's immortalized as The King of Dung Beetles forevermore! Sam R. Jacob F. Hungrysan -- Left to to join a Vampire game instead. I suppose he'll get immortalized as The Supreme Sucker forevermore! Other folks in the channel are welcome to come join us, sit in, and "lurk" as we discuss the world setting and help settle characters into the background. If, for some unforeseen reason, a player is unable to participate (due to life, lack of interest, time/schedule conflicts, whatever), these "lurkers" will be given preferential chances to take that spot and join the campaign. (After all, it's just less work on me, as the GM, as I don't have to go over everything which was said and done already to get those players up to speed and invested into the game -- AND, they've already shown an interest and willingness to match the game schedule, so they're most likely going to be a good replacement fit for us.) I'll update the player list and our schedule here, as life and circumstances dictate. First Prospective Group Meeting: Tonight, Thursday, Oct 3rd, 2019, at 7:00 PM EST, with the goal of players getting to do a "meet and greet", sort out voice/video issues, and to impart common knowledge of the game background and world setting to the players so that they can make characters which fit the world.
