Yes Hello everyone, I'm looking for people interested in starting a "one book a month" book club and play a weekly campaign based on the novel read the month prior. The idea is basically to pick up a fantasy/sci fi/other novel every month and then for the following month run a weekly campaign set in the settings from the novel , whilst privately reading the next months's novel. Effectively the way it would go is : month 1 ( pick a novel to read) month 2 week 1 (pick month 2 book)>(discuss the book we read month 1)>(Decide on what ruleset to use for month 1 novel)>(character creation)>(start campaign if there is time) month 2 week 2 ( play the campaign based on month 1 book) month 2 week 3 ( play the campaign based on month 1 book) month 2 week 4 ( play the campaign based on month 1 book) month 3 week 1 (pick month 3 book)>(discuss the book we read month 2)>(Decide on what ruleset to use for month 2 novel)> (character creation)>(start campaign if there is time) month 3 week 2 ( play the campaign based on month 2 book) month 3 week 3 ( play the campaign based on month 2 book) month 3 week 4 ( play the campaign based on month 2 book) and so on. The book will be picked by a different member every month until all members have had a turn. ( We will decide order by dice check) To start with a group of 6 people would be best. so far as GM'ing goes , it will be decided by a volunteering sytem . If noone volunteers to be that month's GM,then the member who picked the book the campaign is based on will be the GM ( don't worry if you are not experienced as a GM , we can all learn) so far as availability is concerned I can start sessions(4 hours length +/-) at the earliest 13:00 Gmt( 8:00 am EST) to latest 22:00 GMT ( 5:00 pm EST). hopefully some of you will show interest, have a good day. Scott

It's an interesting idea. I always like to see different approaches to our hobby. Unfortunately, you have to factor in that some players aren't going to be able to read a several hundred page novel in a few weeks, and then turn around and pick, plan, and potentially learn a game inside of a week. Between jobs, other games, other hobbies, and the reality that some gamers are just slow readers (it took me several months to finish Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and that was with me reading for two hours or so almost every day). I mention this because you are limiting your audience in a hobby that already has a very limited audience. I wish you the best, and hope you can find enough players that are interested. I know that I wouldn't be able to take part.

This sounds pretty cool: count me in.

scooter i here what your saying, but 95 percent of books are on audio books that can be listened to at work, ive listened to a 15 book seies 3 times in a month so its easily possible to do. and sweet stephen if you wanna spread the word thatd be great too
