And Pleo’s running a new Conspiracy game on the off board right after the Malazan game that NAF, Rysto, MHaye, and I are running winds up. (Though his signups are now full.) ---

I will have another game after the one I’m running here ready, if no one else has a strong one going. ---

I think I’ve got a Semi-Open game that I’d like to run, once a spot opens up here or if I can win the idle lottery. But I’ll defer if someone else has a game ready to go, since I feel my game is missing a red herring to get it off the ground and running. Plus i’d rather play than mod, so there’s that consideration too. ---

I have a few themed games ready to go anytime too. I actually prefer to mod than play, and it’s been awhile, so I’ll be happy to cage match with anyone else who really wants to mod next time. 😉 ---

Is there a sign up sheet/lottery/round robin for here, or is it just who ever dares, mods? ---

I’d like to participate, but because of my job my access would be limited. Maybe a mini-game? ---
