Evening all! ManiaINC here checking for interest in a Monday night Roll20 (or MapTool, I heard it's quite good but am unfamiliar with the program) campaign. I've been playing/GMing for a couple years now and I've only just gotten into online gaming (a move separated me from the usual group), but I'd love to try playing something with a little faster of a pace than the usual PbP.
Because of my lack of webcam/somewhat shoddy internet we would be playing solely through chat, without any video/speech tools.
As far as what we would be playing, I'd probably go with one of the APs (no time for homebrew, sadly). A buddy of mine has at least the first book of practically all of them, so I could run whatever the group wants.
So if anyone is available and willing to play at 6-10/11ish (-8 GMT) on Mondays, drop a post. If I start seeing some interest I may even throw out some of my top secret campaign ideas!
Hooray, a party member!
I've been looking for another live campaign. I have some character ideas that I would love to finally build (Oracle and Magus namely). What AP would you be running?

I'd be up for giving it a shot. We don't all have to do Skype or voice chat or whatnot, but we can leave it on the table for those of us that can. I'm Central Standard Time for reference. Have a few possible concepts that can fit any niche depending on what you decide to run and what the others decide to play.
I suppose it's worth a shot asking as well but would Tuesdays or Wednesdays be an option instead as those are my set days off. Monday nights I'd have to bail short because I work third shift work.
Alas, Mondays happen to be my only free days, so Tuesdays and Wednesdays are off the table.
As far as the AP is concerned, we could run through literally anything. Wrath of the Righteous with an all-Android strike team of super demon slaying robo-crusaders perhaps?
Also when you say "bail short" Severed Ronin, how exactly short are we talking?
Alright, that's not too horrible then. Would starting earlier be a possibility for you? Say at 5? (Same goes for everyone.)
What time zone are we talking about? It looks like Pacific, but I just want to be sure.
AAAH! I'm still thinking from my old address! I'm actually at GMT -6! Okay let's get this whole time thing sorted out.
I'm at Central Time, so two hours ahead of Pacific. This is the time slot that I like to inject 4-5 hours of gaming into:
Central (-6): 4 PM to 11 PM
AKA
Pacific (-8): 2 PM to 9 PM
If you'll excuse my previous timezone-incompetence, what times are you all available now?
At the moment, those times look like they would work for me. That being said, I certainly would not mind moving them back an hour or so. Most of my the live games I play usually start more in the evening and sometimes go into the early morning.
So sorry to hear Ronin!
And Dream Lord, I'd be fine moving the game back, but I'd prefer to be finished up by 1 AM my time (although I know that there are times when one just has to keep gaming).
What I'm asking is, what would be your optimal timeslot?
And Truin, are you still lurking?
Actually now that I've considered it I could possibly shuffle my schedule around to make time to play on Tuesday nights. What are everyone's thoughts on this? If anyone can't play on Tuesday I'm afraid I'll be locking in Monday out of fairness, otherwise Ronin, you may have a chance yet!
Insidious bump! Even if I only end up with a single player I'm going to force this campaign to work at gunpoint!
Tuesday would probably work as well. Based on my experiences, I think that it would be best to start the game around 6:00 pm and go until about 10:00 pm. As for the apparent lack of players, I would try posting a notice on Roll20 itself.
I've posted a message on the Giant in the Playground forums just today, and 4 people have already responded! It looks like we may have a party in the making. I'll send you the Roll20 right now so we can communicate more easily.
tagged for interest if you need another :)
I am also interested if you are still looking for players.
I like doing things!
I also enjoy stuff!
That counts five, let it begin.
