MC: As someone who has had to step down from time to time due to RL issues, I wish you the best of luck. If your schedule frees up, please let us all know.
If someone wants to pick this up, go ahead. I have no problems if a player wants to show the initiative to do so. I thought it was a good idea for a game, but unfortanetly, I cannot run it. So why let a good idea go to waste?
I'm willing to run a game if no one else is available. I would have to start with 2 fairly generic adventures though until I have time to finish reading the Eberron campaign setting and working up a campaign story line. For the adventures, I'd need about 4 or 5 days to change up the encounters for a 1st level party. I would run the two groups concurrently.
If someone else with Eberron experience wants to run it, speak up! I love my spirit shaman! But in a pinch I'll pick it up and run with it.
I don't actually have any of the Eberron material, or much beyond the PHB, actually, so I couldn't DM. But, hey, given how little I know, if you chose to run the game while you got up to speed on the setting, I'm hardly in a position to call you on anything.
