Ben: For Friday night-ers: Ed suggested another alternative to continuing Gemini for the second "slot": we could just keep playing WFRP. I'm good with this option, WFRP is really fun so far. Obviously, it would require a lot of extra work for Matt, so ultimately its up to him (also, if Matt and Dieter are eager to wrap up Gemini over the next few sessions, I'm of course more than happy to GM and bring the game to some sort of conclusion). As for choice words said in your absence, Gabe, all I said was basically what I posted already: that it makes me feel sad that we as a group have still made little progress on the communication front. What I really wanted to make clear after our "voting" fiasco was that if people have an issue with something, or want to make their feelings plain, they should strive to just say what they want to say (ie "I don't like Gemini anymore, can we do something different?): we're all good friends, we shouldn't have to worry about people getting all bent out of shape. That way we can discuss, preferably in person around the table, a good solution that satisfies everyone. We're all freaks and social rejects here, which means we all put up with each others' idiosyncracies, but we do it because we are, first and foremost, friends. And that is what makes our group cool and fun and has allowed it to last for so long. The idea that the group suffers less from having someone bail than having us change things up to try to accomodate people better has just never held true for me. They are games, meant to be fun, and when they stop being fun, no matter how much/little work you put in or how much/little you are attached to them, they should be replaced: no matter what, it is ten times easier to write a new campaign and rules system than it is to find a single fun, reasonable, intelligent, and committed player. | Ben: For Friday night-ers: Ed suggested another alternative to continuing Gemini for the second "slot": we could just keep playing WFRP.

| + | --[[User:Gdaze|Gdaze]] -- Well right, but I mean just cause I'm not having fun, I didn't want to drag down everyone else. Ya know? And since things seemed to be kinda wrapping up, I figured ah well, I might as well just drop out. Plus if everything suddenly changes, it just kinda bothers me ya know? Like now everything is different? And I didn't want a whole world scarped cause of just me. And really, I don't think the world would take that big a hit without my character there. I mean I'll play in whatever we go with next. But I just don't want to stop a whole game just cause I'm not enjoying it! | ||

Revision as of 15:16, 17 September 2007
This page is for discussion of stuff related to the game coming up this week, no matter when that actually is. For instance, we can all assume Nate isnt coming for some lame reason and that Ed is sick of pizza and is bringing teriyaki or some other crap. They can post something here if that happens to be untrue.

Ranting and raving or other random comments
--Edmiao 23:26, 16 September 2007 (MST)How many of our Friday group are also joining the Saturday group, out of curiosity? and what's on the Ben and Deiter only page created by Jason??? is that for the saturday group?
--Jason 23:28, 16 September 2007 (MST)The Ben and Dieter page is discussion about a few things that may lead to Exemplars actually occurring. Its too tentative yet to say either way. As far as I know nobody from the Friday group will play Saturday, but they would all be welcome if they wanted. The Saturday game would probably be bi-weekly, btw.
--Gdaze -- So wait... Exemplars would be on Fridays then? I think I can do the Saturday game, but depends on what your playing. And if we are doing Exemplars, I'm totally in. (I mean IF, I don't want to get hyped up again to not play.) Ed, when is the next Heroscape meeting?
--Jason 09:51, 17 September 2007 (MST)Dont get hyped up, nothing is confirmed. If these discussions bear fruit Exemplars could take the place of Gemini when it has run its course. But only if Gabe doesnt quit...muahahaha j/k. Saturday looks like it will be Indiana Jones in Space.
--Gdaze -- I was gonna say... you wanna go there???? I do feel really bad about quitting, and sure a few choice words have been said about it in my abesence. But bleh, gotta do what ya gotta do. And that is why I'm not wearing pants. When is gonna be the first day for Indiana Jones in Space?
--Jason 11:00, 17 September 2007 (MST)No pants? Pics plz. I am not sure, I think we might make characters either this Saturday or two Saturdays from now. I might make a character/role discussion page soon. Did you download the space opera rar?
--Gdaze -- I did but no winrar at work, lame. Don't really wanna start downloading apps to the computer, since some guy got fired here for doing "something" on the computer... not sure what... all I know is he brought in his lab top. Since I know the system I could just make some guys and send 'em off to ya.
Course that is assuming I can even play this one! Yiiiieekes.
--Jason 12:20, 17 September 2007 (MST)Put some stuff on the character ideas page. Dont worry about mechanics just yet.
