I am cross posting this to both my own journal and rocksfall to mke sure it gets good exposure.

I am thinking that with Diablotin ending so soon (waaaaaah!), many of us/you will be in a very dry spot as far as gaming goes. Rob is only running his game every two weeks, and there are only a few of us in it! whatever will we do? There are only two sessions of Gnomes left tops... Some of you have real life games, orthers of us are not so fortunate! Eeek!

Well, I took a deep breath and reigned in my panic and came up with an Idea, in consultation with the lovely [livejournal.com profile] curtana. Rather than asking any one person to run a full fleged campaign, we can all agree to run one shots with pregenerated characters. If we get enough people in on it, it would probably only work out to running once every two months or so. It wouldn't matter if you couldn't make it for any particular session, because we would probably have lots of players. Not everyone would get to play *every* week, but we would do our damndest to make sure it was fair!
I would say that ti should only be open to people who are willing to run. Otherwise it wouldn't be fair, but it shouldn't take too much effort. My plan is to create one or two settings to rundifferent plots it.... and flesh out the areas that way. It would mean even less work ;)

Would anyone else be interested? If we get six people, then you would only have to run once every 6 weeks. That's not often! Lots of time for even a busy person to come up with a one shot thing. I would advise against combat things, unless they are *all* combat, but it could be fun :)

I'd be interested.

Joel was talking about running an online once Julies game is done.

The only game I have ever run is Changeling, and with disastrous reults!! :(

One-shots where we, as ST/DM/GMs have to make all the characters up and everything? I've never tried that before... Not sure what sorts of things I could come up with. I'd be interested but I'm not confident about my ability to throw a fun and interesting one-shot together. :/

I would be interested. I've had some oneshot ideas and campaign ideas running around that I've been wanting to try, but haven't had the discipline to develop further.

I'll do it

Oh my God -- the Gaming Circle meets the Internet! ^_^

This sounds potentially very interesting... provided I get off my butt and finally get my /"(*ing computer repaired...

I don't think I could commit to this in the immediate future, but maybe by November or so I could.
