All of this has become rather tentative, but hopefully we'll be able to get schedules worked out and games run on a more regular basis soon. It occurs to me that maybe we ought to move to a biweekly schedule, but given that everybody's week off never seems to coincide, that might cause more problems than it solves.

At any rate, I've modified the May schedule according to availability. It looks like Ben might only get to play one Pirates session (if it's a three-session adventure), and I think Paul, since he'd be out for two of them and doesn't know where his character is at any rate, decided to pass on Pirates this time as well. I have done a bit more planning on Wolves, and I'm now pretty sure it'll take only two sessions to finish, but I want to make sure everybody (save Nate, who is bowing out for a while) can make it for both.

The June and July schedules are more exercises in speculation, and I'd love to hear from you guys about schedule conflicts you know about so we can plan this better.

I'm thinking of doing a once-a-month 4th edition game for the guys at the shop, which *might* be the second week of each month. So I've blocked that out, but that could change to a different week. I'm thinking of running the same adventure series in 4th ed for our group, since everybody seemed interested. That would also allow me to get twice as much out of my prep time.

I'd like to have someone else alternate a campaign at the same time, so that I could have some time to prep Eyes of the Lich Queen for a return in late July or early August, probably after San Diego Con. Jason, anything you're wanting to run? I'd love to play any number of games, including a Traveller game (if you wind up liking the new rules), more Savage Worlds/pulp, or anything else you might fancy running. I'd also love to *play* D&D 4th Edition as opposed to just running it.

And of course I have ideas for a Deadland game, a Star Wars RPG, a return to Spycraft, Warhammer 40K and more... but I don't know when on Earth I'll have time to prep/run them. Warhammer 40K Inquisitors is most likely, since I actually have adventures for that one that I could get ready, but I'm not sure what the interest is in that game.

I'm also not against setting aside a week each month for board games and such. I do own a game store, after all, and see a regularly large number of boardgames I'd love to buy and try out.
