Likewise . . . lots of stuff going on this week but I'll try to get a response up for Gaibrial soon.

No problem guys, I'm away from late afternoon tomorrow (my time) until about the same time on Sunday.
Not sure we're getting Leif on board. Any arm-twisting we can apply or should we go to plan B?
BTW GlassEye, has the gnomish one been in contact about his Traveller game? We had a drop out so I thought of you as a replacement

He mentioned me in-thread so I darted in, expressed interest and asked some questions which were answered by Insight mostly.
Not sure about Leif. Maybe we should go ahead and recruit another permanent member and if Leif is able to join/continue then we'd have a full roster. If he can't we're still ok to go and maybe Leif could be a guest in a later episode when things are at a pace he can keep up more readily.

An update on the campaign plans. While I've been away I've been thinking of how the different episodes might pan out and thought you might like to see a list of possible options in case you want to do any long-term planning. After our Pathfinder game (which is just general high fantasy), I'm thinking of these:
- a lower fantasy game using Basic Roleplaying. Are any of you familiar with the Midnight setting (published by Fantasy Flight)? Very dark fantasy, and there is an adventure in the campaign guide which is quite suitable; I can use it as the basis of something of my own devising if anyone has played it before.
- a pulp/low power supers game using the HERO system. This is one I've run before; based on a 1930s incarnation of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen modified to fit the storyline of this campaign.
- a far future dark sci-fi game using Savage Worlds. One of the setting books I have is Necropolis 2350 and I will either write an adventure or, if one of he pre-published ones is appropriate, modify it to fit.
- a medieval fantasy game using Ars Magica. I was away for the weekend and picked up a copy of the 5th Ed rules. Should be a good chance for our magic using PCs to shine.
On top of that, I'd still like to use Cortex for something, so might canvas opinion on a setting/genre people are interested in. I've also bought Reign (using the ORE rules) and would like to have at least a short Wushu interlude.
If Leif is still on board, he mentioned GURPS Cyberpunk which would fit in nicely with the others. If not, I'm not really confident in my ability to run GURPS, so might well do Cortex Cyberpunk or another sci-fi setting. And then there are guest GM slots available for anyone who wants.
So that's a pretty long-term plan; I won't run the adventures in the order above but I've mapped out the vague long term arc - hope I can pull it off!

I like 'em all! As a bonus, I'm familiar with HERO, have the Savage Worlds Lite rulebook, and have character generators for PF, HERO, Savage Worlds and Cortex.
Don't know squat about Ars Magica or GURPS, nor really about Cortex or Savage Worlds, but it's good to try new things!
(If you're really not comfortable with GURPS, you could do your cyberpunk adventure using HERO as well . . .)

Gruffle,
I've been thinking a lot about the Pathfinder adventure coming up and the class I'm going to play. It's taking me a while because I've been fairly obsessed with the Summoner's evolution mechanic but I know that you strongly dislike the class. Anyway, I think I've worked through it and am ready to look at other classes. Before I commit, however, I would like to know if you are ok with the Oracle.

Yes, my dislike of the Summoner is rather overpowering. But, I can see how it would fit in with your character theme, so if that's the best idea you have then I'm prepared to make an exception on this occasion. Otherwise, I haven't really done more than scan the Oracle but I'm happy with that as well.

I won't make you suffer through a Summoner. Besides, I'm playing one in another pbp and I'm using one as a villain in my face-to-face game; it's time I branch out a little. I'm thinking a halfling oracle of flame. Something akin to a dervish/diviner, perhaps (the religious/ecstatic kind, not the 3e scimitar slashing kind) but skinned for whatever culture we are a part of. Since you seem ok with oracle I'll start putting him together. Let me know if you decide otherwise; I could always go with a specialist wizard of some sort.
