I agree that there's a bit of an issue being created by lack of gaming time/space, but we're also all aware that the card game players are spending substantially more money than us. I don't think my occasional dice purchases or Laurent's board game habit are keeping the roof over Ginger's head and a gaming cellar beneath his feet. And a shop somewhere in the middle. But it would be good to look at options that would give us a bit more time to play and perhaps give the card gamers more time to finish their tournaments.
Generally, Monday nights aren't good for me as it's training night. But I agree that Wednesday nights aren't really working, and that something probably needs to change. We've had discussions before about changing (or not changing) game nights, and sometimes its inevitable that someone loses out or drops out - as with the Kingmaker game. If Monday works for everyone else/a majority, then I say we go with that. I promise not to take it personally, or hunt down and kill anyone. In the short term, I'm sure I can find some other short term or one off games if I need more of a fix.
As I think most of you will already know, I've got some major life changes on the way (which we won't go into here, but you can ask me about next week if you don't know) which will mean that I need to rethink my commitments. I've not joined any new games for a while, and I think it unlikely that I'd join long term successor campaigns for either the Kingmaker or RotRL slots. I'm hoping that I'll still have time for one game (though almost certainly not three per fortnight) but I don't know when that might be. So bowing out a little early won't be a disaster.
If we do move to Mondays, I may be able to make some sessions over the summer (dunno when our 'close season' is yet), and I wouldn't mind missing a handful to finish off Runelords, having played it for so long. But to complicate things further, I'm going to be out of gaming action for about four weeks from early June.
