I will be DMing.  Not sure what yet.  I gave everyone a list of options and am now waiting to hear back from three of the others to see what they are interested in.  Hopefully, we can get everything figured out and actually play on Sunday rather than spending the day making characters for whatever game/system we decide to play.</blockquote>
