[Churchofgaming] New Games

[Michael Cole]

Only problem I have with this is that it is hard enough to remember what you did a fortnight ago - a month ago would be impossible.  And the taking of notes wouldn't fix this, particularly with my adventures.
 
Personality of NPCs is important for some of my stuff, and those cannot be noted or remembered over a month.  You also won't remember all the Chekov's Guns from a month ago, and an independent note taker won't make note of them - it would be too time consuming - and I wouldn't note them down - it defeats the purpose of having them because by noting them down, you draw too much attention to them which spoils the effect.
 
Basically, playing a game only once a month limits the game to one of strategic-type gaming - remembering character positions and hit points.

Recently we have seen two new players join us. Both wanting to run games. I too have my eye on a few different systems I'd like to run. However currently we work on a fortnightly roster of two games and it may be a looong time before everyone gets to startg on the game they want to run.

Therefore I make the following proposals:
A) That we run a different game each week of a month (4 games)
B) At each session a player is assigned as note-taker. This person submits a summary of the session to the referee who edits and distrubutes it before the next session of that game.
C) Any cancelations (for referee's being out of town or whatever) are filled with one-off games. More variety and preserving the schedule.
D) There are a number of games I'd like to run. I'll make my final choice to be *most* different to the other campaigns running at the time.

Lev can you ensure Felix gets this if he is not on the lists already.
