I would like to try out the google+ gaming and I figured I would post my availability since it seems none of the current threads have a game time that works for me.
As of right now the best time for me to play would be Saturday nights anywhere from 6:30pm to 1:00am East Standard maybe even a little later than that.
I could also play most Friday evenings but only from 6:30pm to about 10:00pm EST.
My other gaps in the week are much too short for anything fun.
If these times work for you and you would like another player let me know. If I can get the hang of online gaming I would like to try GMing with it too.
Games I would like to play...
Traveller Savage Worlds GURPS Spirit of The Century (or FATE in general) Pathfinder
Spirit of the Century is the only one of those I have played before.
Not much comes to mind that I wouldn't play. Heck if it was TSR's Top Secret I would give it a shot.
I might try looking on other boards, but I kind of feel a little comfortable knowing that everyone here likes happy jacks and probably has the same sense of humor as I do. Also you're probably closer to my age group, I am 33 and would rather not be the only old guy in a group of teens.
Thanks for reading Josh

I just started reading Savage Worlds, read Pathfinder when it came out (I never played 3rd). I have played a little FATE and think it would run just as well online as it does in person. But I don't really have a favorite system or genre. Do you have a preferred evening? So we can at least narrow down a time slot for future players.

I work overnight Sunday through Thursday so Friday and Saturday would be best.
What type of game would you be in the mood for ?
Regards, Walt

I'd be keen, but I think the timezone difference is a bit too far out for me.

New Zealand. As far as I can tell, I'm 16hrs ahead of EST. Or as I like to think of it: 8hrs behind but a day ahead.
Starting at 1030 on a Sunday is something I just can't realistically commit to. Sunday mornings are for recovering from Saturday nights after all!

Sunday mornings are for recovering from Saturday nights after all! A KIWI! I was born in Hawaii we're practically cousins! If we go with Saturday nights I have a lot more wiggle room we don't have to start 630 EST/1030 NZST it is just the earliest I'm available. I get home from work at about 600. I don't work on Sundays and my wife gets home from her job at about 1-2 am Sunday morning. So there is about a 6 hour window I'm available. Walt seems to be a night owl due to work. Am I right? On the podcast Tappy seemed to really enjoy his Traveller game even when they only played for 2-3 hours. Especially since there is no travel time to get back home or settle in. So even if we started at 800 EST/ 1200 NZST I could still play a solid 4-5 hours. Which is still probably might still be more than we need. So snoman I'm not sure if that eases things up for you? Is there a good start time for you? Also I'll bring this up now, but I have always handled missing players the same way Stu does. If a player isn't there then they're not there the story goes on. So if there is a week it doesn't work you or if the game time doesn't work out after trying it, it will be okay to stop. We'll just make Drizzt a GM PC and everything will be fine. ;D

What type of game would I be in the mood for? Oh geez. If you have an idea for something I am already excited. If you need more than that to get started we could wait until we have more people to see if they have a favorite. I could really play anything my favorite movie is the Princess Bride, my favorite book is Do androids dream of electric sheep. I am kind of all over the map in taste. I am currently prepping a Star Wars Saga Edition game with definite Cthulhu overtones for my friends. I guess fantasy is always a crowd pleaser. I have been on a big pulp kick lately. I like Westerns and have never played Deadlands if you know anything about that. I think the easiest answer would be to plan for something small and if works out we could expand it or switch off to another genre or game. Snoman do you have a favorite genre?

Awesome! Yeah I can commit to starting 1200 NZST.
I havn't played much. In fact I've only every been in 3 sessions where I GMed a GURPS game with some other friends who were newbies as well. Then I moved here. There's not a lot of gaming going on in Waiouru. (That would be funny if you knew Waiouru. (It's a massive understatement)).
I would be really keen to play Traveller. I was prepping a Traveller game before I had to move at short notice. I've got some of the books, and recently backed the Traveller 5 kickstarter. I'm also pretty familiar with GURPS.
As for Genre's I'll give anything a try. Too new to be saying no to anything as far as I'm concerned.
I just got a new webcam, and the internet is allright here, seeing as how remote it is. So lets tee something up!
Oh and Malifer - Aloha oe!

So lets tee something up! Oh and Malifer - Aloha oe! Excellent. I'm new to online gaming so it's a learning experience all around. I have had Mongoose Traveller on my shelf for a few years and barely read it. I was almost going to trade it when I started listening to Happy Jacks and I know I am excited about it. Okay Walt, Saturdays 8pm good for you? Drake I think that makes it 5pm for you is that good?

I think that can be done. Are we planning on every Saturday or every other Saturday? And I've never played Traveller but would not mind giving it a try.

I think that can be done. Are we planning on every Saturday or every other Saturday? And I've never played Traveller but would not mind giving it a try. I think if we try for every Sat then it is easier to blow off a Saturday. However if we try bi-weekly then need to take a week off it might be a little harder to get back into the swing of things. But if everyone thinks bi-weekly is easier on them I fine with that. That being said I also think if you can't make a session it's no big deal. I am kind of loose like that in the games I have played. With four of us I think we could start playing and maybe we could pick up another player later on. Okay I think Walt will be up to bat first on Gming. I still need to get a google+ account. So Walt since Snoman is learning Traveller, I would say prep a non-scifi game. If your comfortable with Savage Worlds I would like to give that a spin and think it might run well over the webcam. I have read the rules, but just haven't played it.
