Message: <blockquote data-quote="The_Universe" data-source="post: 2295555" data-attributes="member: 8944">The issue is not purely one of wear and tear on the Bauman Abode (in fact, from my perspective, it's generally balanced from a gaming perspective by having my material close by), though I do appreciate the offer of other locations should it become necessary.  While at the best of times (for gaming) I had enough time to pull together a game for 2 groups every week, I was also not employed and had no wife (or even a girlfriend) when I did so, as Chris and Clarissa can probably attest. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />  Which is just a long way of saying the best of times (for gaming) ain't now.  I believe that people's schedules will naturally pare down the playing group to a more manageable 6 (or fewer) people at any given session, rather than the full 8 - an 8 which may only last until August, anyway, because our good friend (and potentially burgeoning gamer) Nico will only be a regular DC resident for the summer, and Chris will be arriving in the greater metropolitan area at approximately the same time she leaves (keeping our maximum gamer supply at 7).  7 is, as we've noted, close to a bit much. HOWEVER, people's social commitments being what they are, we're not likely to see a full group all that often, anyway. If by some miracle of science or alchemy we're getting all 7 potential characters to every session (or even a rough plurality of the sessions), I will consider - maybe - running two groups. I can't say with any certainty, but based on my current time commitments, etc. that running two groups would probably decrease the overall frequency at which I could run each game, as well - rather than running 4 sessions, I'd probably just run each group on one of the 2 sessions - meaning everyone gets to play about 1x a month.  All that being said, I really don't think it will be an isssue - especially if the large(r) group is conscientious and attentive, even if we all show up at once. If we hit our above stated maximums, I would ask that we all give it a whirl at least a couple of times before I start writing twice the story for half the people. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />  Does that help clarify what I'm thinking is reasonable?  As an ancillary note, I think we should shoot for the weekend of June 10 for session 2 of "Behind the Veil."</blockquote>
