Scheduling; If you can't make a session, please let me know.

So last session I had to cut things short because one of my friends was freaking out and needed a ride from the ER, evidently she and one of her friends were shot at during a drive by. She was fine (just shaken up), her friend caught a bullet in his arm but is expected to recover. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone would be available Wednesday or Thursday night around 6 pm for a pick up session? If three or more players are available please let me know.
As a general question, what is the freqency of this campaign? I will admit that I'm pretty much booked solid in November with engagements with family and friends although a game during the week would be doable for me. Anyway I thought I'd at least start talking about this now. I'm fine with a campaign that isn't on a set schedule as life has a tendency to get in the way of purging heresy.
I can play pretty much at anytime as things are right now. So aslong as i get to know the date of session atleast a day or two before it happens then I'll have no problems making it.
Every other Saturday at the moment. I'm running it concurrently with a Black Crusade game about the Heretics of the Pax Imperialis prison barge . My job routinely surpasses 60 hours a week. Yesterday I worked from 5:30 to 2:30, and again from 6 pm until 2 am, then was back from 5:30 until 9:00 today, and am going in for another night shift at 6 pm tonight, hopefully they finish early. So I'm not usually available to run pick up games or what have you during the week. Anyway, you'll know at least a week in advance when the next session is. For instance, the next session is the 25th. I suppose we might switch to a Sunday if people couldn't make a Saturday, which is kinda the point of the scheduling thread so everyone can communicate when they can play and we can reschedule or cancel without undue inconvenience. I also tend to cancel sessions if only one or two people show up, after asking them if they'd like cancel or not. Before I was running the Black Crusade game I ran a Only War game which is why their is a Commissar in this game, and a bunch of traitorous Imperial Guard in the Black Crusade game but whatever if I couldn't make a session due to a concert, date, or other interruption I'd try to reschedule for a Sunday.
I'm perfectly fine sticking to weekend games but my weekends in November are booked solid at the moment. I'm fine with missing a session or two if it comes down to that. Saturdays and Sundays both work fine for me but I do play in a Shadowrun campaign that is held usually once a month on Sunday from 11am to 3pm PST. I just wanted to make sure I had all this out in advance rather than being "that guy" who suddenly has a thousand things come up after 1 session.
I won't be able to be online next session (25th). If we could reschedule it one day later, I could be there.
How do people feel about rescheduling to the 26th to accommodate Mr. Swajn? I'm down.
i have no problem with that.
That should work for me.
Making it official.
I start work at 11:00 east coast time so i cant stay for the hole game.
Can we do something about the start time to accomodate you?
When do you sleep? Maybe start earlier? How does noon PDT sound to people?
Btw its only a problem on the sundays
Well we won't normally play on Sundays, I believe we're rescheduling this session for the benefit of one of the players who is located in Europe, and whom can normally do the Saturday time.
np
Noon is fine with me.
I have no problem with starting earlier if it's still on the weekend .
Okay noon it is, then. I know Redfox is in the same time zone as me.
Guys, I was counting on the later time (night here). I will not be able to play in the evening. I can start maybe at midnight here. I am sorry that I have not said anything earlier, but I wasn't online during weekend.
Well frakk it, you should check the forums more often Swajn. I believe you are 8 hours ahead of California time, and Peter W. is about 7 hours ahead. However Peter has work during the time you are available. So basically if everyone else shows up at noon I'll run it then. If they decide that they want to wait for you we can delay.
Next session falls on the 8th. Which means we may need to reschedule it, or I may just end up running it from the lobby of the game convention I'm going to attend on the 8th and 9th.
blizz con?
No, much smaller than that... Hyphen Con in San Diego. I'm probably going to end up running Doctor Who.
I suppose I could also try running it later in the day or maybe Friday night.
Your call ,ill be watching the live stream of blizz con on the 7th and 8th. Ill make time for your game if you run but its np to skip a week for me.
I'll be driving up to LA from San Diego to watch a Kings game. I'm not sure what time Ii'll be back the next day but there could be a chance of being available on the 9th. I'm also going to another game on the 15th as well.
Yeah so I just got the schedule for the convention and my slot will preclude me from running Dark Heresy on Saturday. Not to mention that the next day is a solid block of board games all day. I'm thinking of straight up cancelling unless people want to reschedule for another day. This week is just bad. I've got a dentist appointment on Wednesday, I'll likely be unable to talk Thursday, Friday is Redfoxes game, and the weekend is booked solid too. Sorry guys.
When you say "cancelling" are you talking about cancelling the entire campaign?
No, I'm saying that I won't be able to get online this weekend (November 8 and 9) to run Dark Heresy because I signed up to run games at a small gaming convention, that I have been attending for ten years. <a href="http://rpg-sandiego.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=30&" rel="nofollow">http://rpg-sandiego.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=30&</a>... I run this campaign bimonthly. EDIT so canceling a session instead of rescheduling is sort of a big deal. I was hoping to reschedule but nobody else has responded with suggestions on that so... don't expect me to run Dark Heresy this weekend. Saturday I have a four hour slot of Doctor Who to run, and I'm going to get to play some rpgs as well. Sunday is going to be board games all day, and its been ages since I got to play one of those. I also had oral surgery on Wednesday, and it kinda hurts to talk right now.
Ah ok, I'm fine with cancelling the upcoming session. As I said this is a pretty busy month for me but I'm always willing to try and find a date/time that works, Have fun at the convention!
Next week on Saturday 6th I'll be attending a funeral/wake/spreading ashes in a ghost town.
If that means that the session can't happen on Saturday, should we move it? If yes, my vote would be 24 hours earlier, which would be yours Friday 5th.
Saturday and Sunday are a no go for me as well, however I would be willing to do Friday. If not I'm fine moving it.
okay, I think I can do Friday the 5th. I know Redfox will be at my apartment for my roommates birthday party but I don't know when it starts.
Same time, 6pm PST? I'll be around so if you guys plan on running tonight let me know. I'm itching to kill some more heretics.
I'll be around for the rest of the day and can play . Just tell me what time.
Sorry for the last minute cancellation, work called me in to take care of a couple things. Probably won't be done till at least 9. If you guys wanna go ahead without me then go for it.
Just got home
Is there a game this saturday? I may be a little late as I'll be up in LA for a Hockey game but I'm still down to play if you guys are.
No, I was going to update the page so the first session of DH would be the 10th.
Ah ok, that should work for me. Thanks for the update, see you guys on the 10th.
Very sorry for not making it to the game last night. I was delayed by what was supposed to be a quick drink with some friends but I was unable to pull my wife away until it was too late.
We decided to end the game, actually, since nobody seems able to make it anymore and most of the remaining regulars prefer the Black Crusade game anyway. If you think you can make it, post in the LFG page of <a href="https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/343258/black-crusade-libera-te-tutemet" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/343258/black-crusade-libera-te-tutemet</a>
