Who's up for a few games? I've never played but I'm itching to do so. I'm not a fan of GMing a game I haven't played, but I'm willing to give it a shot or have a shared referee if that's what it takes.

Honestly I haven't played traveler, but after looking at the character creation for all of 8 seconds, I am extremely eager to play. So aside from random assistance with story line I could call myself up for being a player for the most part.

Well frozenscv, I have some news.
I've been talking with a couple guys I know in Iowa and they're interested (but not yet sold) on playing. I've also found someone in Atlanta via a Yahoo group who's run a bit of Traveller and is also interested in giving this Google+ thing a shot.
I had a phone conversation with him today. He seemed nice, and also enjoys the podcast. We were both looking at this as just an experiment. If it works well then perhaps it can continue, but right now we're keeping the expectations low.
One of my friends is booked up for a the next week or two but after that I plan to run the Iowans through a character creation session via G+ so they can get a better feel for what it's like. (I've gone through it a few times so I can lead folks through the process.) If they're still in after that then it looks like we might get something going.

I'd love to hang out on that character generation session too if it's fine. (This is Matt in Atl... nice talking with you.)

Matters not to me. I was only looking to do that separate on the chance that the other two would decide it's not their thing and end up wasting your time. (No word from frozenscv yet.)
It's kinda weird to still be spamming away here on this thread rather than just emailing you, but I figure there's always a chance that someone else might find this and ask to join in.

i'd like to get in on this action, but i'm not sure if can commit as i have become insanely busy with the start of this new semester Holy crap. Well it turns out that forzenscv, mattman, and I each think we have two potential players we can already bring in so we're currently sitting at 3 for sure and 6 maybes. Not everyone has voiced their opinions and schedules yet. I instigated this, but I'm also asking someone else to GM, at least to begin, with so I'm not comfortable making any sort of decrees on behalf of the group. We haven't even yet had a little hangout just to say hello to each other. Basically I think all that's known for sure at the moment is that it'll probably be a week or 2 until this gets serious. At moment I'm still in a bit of shock to suddenly go from 2 guys looking for group to potentially 10.

Where are we in this process? I actually have a Traveller game that I need to run for an upcoming convention. I would love to get a playtest of that, or just get some experience running the game system so I can at least say I know what I'm doing. I would be down for hosting a character creation session and then diving into a sort of mini-campaign, or just doing a one-shot with pregens.
My schedule is not too hectic that I couldn't make it work. Primarily I'd be looking at doing a Friday evening gig, maybe every other Friday night. I live in the Mountain Time Zone so best time for me would be somewhere between 6:00 and 11:00 PM, but I'm open to discussing other possible dates and times.

I would like to play, do I absolutely have to have a webcam to play googly hangouts? I'm experienced with running games over Skype, if that helps at all, and I'm REALLY interested in getting a handhold through Traveller character creation. It looks so cool but I have such trouble learning how to do things just from reading a book.

I live in the Mountain Time Zone so best time for me would be somewhere between 6:00 and 11:00 PM, but I'm open to discussing other possible dates and times. I've been working on getting a 4 player experiment where Mattman runs a game for 4 players. Frozenscv, two friends of mine, Mattman, and I got together, BSed a bit and did a sample character generation for those that were completely new. Right now we are working out schedules to figure out who can play. Depending on how well that works out I figured we may have an opening to post here. Highroad, I don't believe our group is going to end up on Fridays and even if we did it would be every other Friday at most. So I could potentially be available to play in your game if you'd like to have me. I've not actually played but I've guided folks through character generation a handful of times.

The experiment/game I've been trying to get going filled in with some friends of the GM so we're going to be getting going on that next week. Given that we're only going to be meeting every other week, I'll be looking to get another game going eventually.
I'll probably be coming back here looking for players again, but I'll be more willing to GM. To those that replied & PM'd thanks for your responses and inquiries.

We've had a BS character gen session to explain how it works to some folks new to the system. A couple weeks ago we had a real character gen session. Tomorrow night we have our first game play session.
Scheduling was difficult but it looks like there's one decent day out of the week for us.
The referee is mattman. 3 friends of his are playing as well as myself, a friend of mine who's getting back into RPGs, and frozenscv. So far we're happy with G+'s performance.
