I believe the campaign as it stands is officially dead. Still, if anyone wants to know what I had in mind, I suppose I could divulge.

Life, that's it. Due to that, I've not had the time to even consider D&D for most of this year.
That being said, and bearing in mind that this is only on the off chance that I get the free time, if any of you still peruse this graveyard of a website, what might you say to a generic dungeon crawl?

Here's how this is going to work: everyone puts up any window of time they even THINK they'll be available for two hours or more for D&D. I'd prefer that everyone keep the calendar up to date with as much as two weeks in advance (although I'm not expecting... certain people who clearly work for bureaucratic morons to be able to do that consistently...)
So, all you have to do is use Google Calendar's highly accessible interface to add notes accordingly. Just put your name on your block, don't mess with anyone else's, and if you like, pick a unique colour for your entries. That last one isn't essential, but it may make it easier for everyone to read.
I've cleared everything aside from what I'm calling my "standard" time just for the sake of getting things rolling; I'll update accordingly as time goes on. Don't worry about anyone else's posts, and just put every window of time you think you'll be available. I'll be the one to worry about actually scheduling the sessions.
I believe that once everyone's accustomed to using this system, it will be a lot easier than our previous communication methods. Firstly, because everything is on the screen for everyone to see and there's no need to sift through a bunch of forum posts or Skype messages, and secondly because it's
Google. All you need is an internet connection and it's a matter of a few seconds to do everything you need; you can do this crap on your phone if you want to. Thus, I honestly don't think it's at all unreasonable to expect everyone to adapt to using it regularly.Statistics: Posted by Eadwulf — May 7th, 2013, 10:05 pm

Edit: Turns out a group can use it the way I want. I can invite everyone to use the same calendar via Google. If you don't have a Google account, then you should probably ask yourself why it's 2013 and you still don't have one!

I'll be playtesting a few of my contributions (and possibly those of other group members) over the next month or so. This won't be formal, so I won't be slapping you guys with any five page surveys or anything. I'll likely just be noting any issues you guys bring up and asking some questions in a group and/or one on one at the end of the sessions.
This week I'll be needing as many playtesters as I can find, but after that I'll likely only need four or five highly dedicated ones (I've already got three). If you would like to volunteer for any or all of it, drop me a pm. The first things I'll be testing out are various sheets for character creation so if anyone is curious about the system, that's the way to check it out (while helping me out in the process).

Since I, for some reason, seem to have the most flexible schedule out of everyone having anything to do with this campaign, I will suggest the following: all of you come together to work out a good time frame, then contact me. If this doesn't work, I'll keep pestering all of you on skype regularly anyway.
Bluecoat has also informed me that he'll be working to systematically steal as many of you as possible for some ill-explained pipe dream of his, so I'm guessing nobody will be suffering much RPG withdrawal. Aside from me... Then again I have a bunch of
to write anyway.Statistics: Posted by Eadwulf — April 26th, 2013, 12:33 am

I'm not planning on continuing until two things are definitely worked out: firstly, what our "regular" group is going to be. I've decided that we're going to have it organised as a single, coherent group (as one does), and only have sessions when said group is available. This is as opposed to the previous method of "have session when x number of players are available". So, a regular commitment from everyone is expected, albeit now at a more relaxed schedule. I'm assuming everyone who's already committed regular activity is going to be on board anyway.
Secondly, I'm taking the time to discuss the specifics (mainly roleplay) of all of your characters individually, something I really should have done before I ever started the campaign, but, well... Over-eagerness and time constraints made me a lazy
in that respect.I've already spoken to Kik and Rex, so for the rest of you, expect me to try and get ahold of you individually for an hour or so in the coming days.
