GeekyGamerZack Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I'm actually looking to upgrade my D&D Beyond subscription, in order to be able to accommodate a group of players. If anyone's interested, please let me know. I guess that means I'm volunteering as a DM for this group, which is fine, as I tend to prefer that role. The only questions now are which of my settings to choose first, and how to decide. Link to post Share on other sites

We have a couple of Brits, some Australians, and a load of Americans. Working out a timezone that works for everyone might not be simple 😂 Link to post Share on other sites

ButterflyBlues Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I'd personally prefer to play in the evening. My timezone is EST. Friday's work best because then I can procrastinate on school work 😜 Link to post Share on other sites

GeekyGamerZack Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I'm starting to think I need to self-promote my fantasy multiverse here, as a lot of it relates to D&D. Roughly half my settings are playable in one edition or another, so it'd help to show the players each of them. Link to post Share on other sites

ForgottenReams Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I'm a fairly experienced GM, and I'd be willing to run D&D or another RPG system. My timezone is GMT and I'm free most evenings. I'm happy to run a campaign for any one who wants to play. Link to post Share on other sites
ButterflyBlues Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Since we have enough people for two groups should we divide based on our time zones? Link to post Share on other sites

It seems as though we have enough players and DMs for three groups, in fact. I think sorting by time zone is ideal, though it looks like a few North American and/or European players will need to join the group I DM, since there seems to be only a handful of members in or near my time zone otherwise. 😅 Link to post Share on other sites
Slice of Ace Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 First, sorry for hijacking your topic, @bring_back_eiffel_65 😂 Okay, let's do a headcount, assuming everyone who posted is still up for it 😊 So, by my count, we have: MST (GMT-7): @Augie279 CST (GMT-6): @blunose2772 @bring_back_eiffel_65 EST (GMT-5): @ButterflyBlues @Scifiknitwit @Rchlgreen @ametrine GMT: @ForgottenReams @Raedwald @Nanoic @Slice of Ace (yes, I did just @ myself) CET (GMT+1): @HonoraryJedi Australia? (GMT+8-10.5): @FireAddWater AEST (GMT+10): @GeekyGamerZack The proposed DMs are @GeekyGamerZack, @ForgottenReams, and @bring_back_eiffel_65 Thus, we can probably make three groups, e.g. Group 1 - FogottenReams (DM), Slice of Ace, Raedwald, Nanoic, HonoraryJedi Group 2 - bring_back_eiffel_65 (DM), ButterflyBlues, Scifiknitwit, Rchlgreen, amertrine Group 3 - GeekyGamerZack (DM), FireAddWater, Augie279, bluenose2772 Of course, we could probably organise it other ways, depending on when people are free @AllTimeBubble @StomachGod, I don't know your timezones. If you still want to play, that would help for organising it @AceofSpades0894, I'm not sure whether you wanted to join in or just to ask for the handbook? Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't expect every single person to still be up for it anyway Presumably, depending on the exact timing, some people might be able to play in multiple groups if they want to. It might also be possible to find more players elsewhere if we don't have enough. I'm also working on a campaign setting for my game, in which the arrival of a new group of gods has brought the world out of a dark age brought on by the collapse of an ancient empire. However, while I'll be creating the gods and rough history myself, I'd like to create the individual region where the campaign will be set as a group so that the players are invested in the world.

GeekyGamerZack Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 As for my group, with so many available choices of setting, it'll be tough settling on just one, and an election might not work if everyone votes for an entirely different world. I suppose a multiple choice ballot system could work, with players choosing a bunch and ranking them from 1st to Nth, with each rank being worth a certain amount of points.
