I should be available this coming week, yes. (Note that I may have a writing project coming up that will curtail my availability somewhat for the end of the year.)

I'm available any day next week. Thursday sounds promising for everybody.

Quendalon — what do you mean 'for the end of the year'?

Obviously we have holidays coming up, and obviously you may not know your strict schedules… but we may be able to plan guest DM spots, or at least a general amount of weeks that need to be covered. As may be abundantly clear, by far the preference is having you DM - you are adored, it is your campaign… - but I have established myself as a not dreadful second best offering, I think and hope. I have two dungeons sketched out and will put together a third — to give options. Each one will require multiple sessions to complete (if completion is desired) and will be presented in sandbox form. You can go where you'd like. No more railroads!

At the same time, I love to play, so would love other guys to step to the plate as well. I love both, and simply cannot be satisfied.

Bummer!

As we've seen, the true "one session" format can be challenging. That being said, I actually had a bit of inspiration for a one shot type adventure last night and would like to try my trembling hand. It's an overland, time limited event - The Wild Hunt! I'd like to offer this up for slotting in at any point if folks are at all interested.

Naked Eric, you're adventures have been very enjoyable, and I am certainly down to continue the tradition. If Dave and Paul can get past their urges to rewrite all the rules and fly down the rabbit hole of setting design, it seems like they could also be candidates (ideally I'd prefer to stick with our current rouges galley in the principalities).

The holidays are going to be weird for us all, but hopefully some gaming will continue throughout 2010.

I am available weds. or thurs. of next week. Not fri.

I have not yet received either outline or contract, so I don't know exactly when I'll be able to start, when my deadline will be or even my wordcount. Right now I'm assuming that November-December will be difficult. If the assignment turns out to be shorter than anticipated, it might not cut into my D&D time at all; if it's longer than expected, or if the turnaround time is especially short, I might be completely unavailable for the duration of the project.

Hence, no details for you. Sorry!

Basically, I will be prepared. This is more a clarion to get the fertile imaginations of the others in gear. If you have a one- or two- shot or what-not in that noggin, you'll have your chance. Halfling-size magic armor and magic weapons much appreciated.

As usual, I'm free all next week, except for Friday and the weekend. Thursday would be fine.

What I really want to run is a campaign built around Stonehell Dungeon, preferably in my mini-setting, and with my few little rules tweaks (so I can figure out if they work or not). But everybody's tired of hearing about that, and I'm not quite ready to run that, anyway.

As for running games in Glantri: I am sitting on a goldmine of underplayed D&D modules (some from TSR but poorly known, others third-party) that could be dropped into the setting with ease. Sadly, most of them seem to assume higher-level characters than most of us have got. Still, they could probably be tweaked. So, I could certainly step in if need be, and honestly probably should, to knock some rust off.

I prefer being a player, myself, but… I have two dungeons, a city adventure, and a whole wilderness mini-campaign written up and ready to go. They're all designed for player levels 1-3 and are, I like to think, interesting enough to hold the attention.

Inserting non-canonical stuff into Glantri seems to work just fine, judging by Camazotz and the Privy of Woe.

Naked Samurai, I love your adventures. Not only do you have a lighter hand with the treasure (just pokin' fun), but they're a nice change of pace every once in a while. Pritchard Hood's destiny lies in the Principalities but that doesn't mean he can't fight chaos elsewhere on the weekends.

We're truly fortunate to have two DMs named Eric, both of whom are excellent at what they do.

Aw shucks.

Lord Bovacious has a kick-ass one-shot in mind, too. I think we'll be more than fine if incapacitated from our beloved Quendalon.

Dungeon theory will be an interesting topic. I shifted to using random monster/treasure tables at the back of the basic books, giving a much healthier sense of what I should put into a dungeon. There are helpful parts in Labyrinth Lord, too. I felt free to disregard certain results or making them more organic and felt better with the Effluvium! results against the Cama-Zotz results, which was completely freestyle, essentially a tougher dungeon cranked down in power.

I'll be interested in seeing your reactions to running one-shots. And more than interested in seeing how you guys DM. But we'll be playing for weeks to come, I hope, and there is no great rush.
