Hi all,

Thanks again for the game the other week- I had lots of fun! However, I did
feel that my inclusion made the group rather unwieldy in terms of size, and
that was with Redmond absent. I also got the impression some people in the
group were more interested in playing various settings/systems than others.
With these things in mind, if we did decide to start up new campaigns I
would put my vote towards splitting into two separate tables, venue
permitting.

Also, don't feel obliged to accommodate us if things become too unwieldy- I
have my own venue and can recruit easily enough if starting up two new
campaigns is a bit much at the moment. I've had success running planescape
in pathfinder before (plus, free srd) <http://www.d20pfsrd.com/> so I'll
likely be sticking with that system, if that influences your
decisions.<http://www.d20pfsrd.com/>

Let me know when you are running single-session games and I will drop by!

Cheers,

Felix
