Dear Players,
Event
I should indeed post an event on the calendar before moaning that people do not sign up, so I have just added the one for this week.
I will prepare for the game but will bring a board game like last week just in case there are not enough players.
Player rota
It seems that the more we recruit the more likely we are to skip a game. Well, this would not be the end of the world if we had to miss a couple of sessions in a row. Remember also that we have so far managed to play nearly without interruption through the holiday season of July-August.
Nick
Bad news, it looks as if Nick is going to drop off because he cannot really be sure to show up on Wednesday evenings.
As I have mentioned to him by reply, we could try to play another weekday.
Alex and Owen
As indicated in a previous post, Alex is complaining that he cannot really commit to our weekly game anymore. Nobody seems to remember whether or not Owen indicated when he first joined that he would be away for a while. I still sort of remember something like that.
Calling for new players.
I guess this is still a bit premature. It would be better for the game if we could have a constant membership for the group. I have nothing against the concept of "core-players + new guys" as it is friendly enough at the moment, but besides the necessary effort for the GM to bring in new PC (well this is not that difficult really), the idea to have more players signed-in was to create a player-pool to ensure the game would run every week.
PC progression.
So as to allow games to be played without forcing people to play two PCs each, I propose to introduce a new rule so that if someone cannot play for two weeks in a row, their PC is only played once, then "parked". I tend to use XP mainly to scale the encounters, so even if a player comes back after a long absence, they can just adjust the level of their PC and rejoin the game.
Please discuss the issue of playing on a given weekday if it could keep the group together.
