Oooh, lots of replies!
GMT is 5 hours ahead of EST, yeah. So 6 EST is 11 pm GMT, midnight CET (my time).
What my plan is for this is not to have an ongoing campaign like, but rather mini-adventures. Something that can be done in one day, hopefully in the space of a few hours. The later we start, the sooner I will want to finish (due to it going into my early morning). The eariler we start, the less I care how soon we finish. (But I think I'll aim for two hours per adventure).
The adventures would have no connection to another, so if you play one session, you wouldn't have to play the next. In fact I think I'll encourage you only play one session a month (since there will only be two), just to give a chance for others to play. I think there will only be 5 people allowed to play per session so I can keep sanity while DMing.
As for the day... I don't want to settle on a specific day of the week for sure, just because I have my IRL D&D sessions in the weekend, and we always plan for the next session when we finish up a current one. So the planning will go around a lot of different things, and FFA session dates may not be announced until the week of, just depending on how my D&D schedule plays around things, although I don't forsee it being that dis-functional. I hope not. Which is why I'd like to keep Friday Saturday and Sunday as open options for the game dates, just so it can be hopped around if need be.
For anyone who remembers, this is going to be a lot less structured than the last FFA idea, which is half of the reason it had to get canceled, because there weren't enough people showing interest where the game could be run properly. This way, if only three people show up, oh well, we'll run the adventure with those three. No tournament of champions, no winners of a session. Just basically a get together for some RP.
Thoughts and comments?
It looks like there's enough interest, so I think I'll go ahead and start making some plans. We may be able to start this month, the third weekend (18, 19, 20), but we'll have to see how much I can get planned and how the weekend suggestion I put up takes with people.
