It has come to my attention that the last two Friday evenings of this year are Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve. With the current scheduling, those times would contain sessions of Katrinity's D&D game and my own D&D game, respectively. However, a lot of people have commitments on those nights. Rather than trying to sort this out individually, please post here if you have plans for either or both nights.

I would prefer not to have games on either night personally. I usually go to church with family on christmas eve, and usually hang around with my family on new years eve. I'd rather not be forced into the choice between that and playing D&D.

Sorry to say, but I would rather not have to worry about it at these times. Maybe you can switch up the schedule in such a way to have your game fall on New Years? Like, on the off Friday? Just a thought.

Considering the nature of the time (no school, holiday vacations abounding) would it not be possible to reschedule for a different day in the week? I'm open for the New Year's Eve game, but since it seems very few other people are I'd prefer to have it some other time rather than simply not have it at all.

I will have off Christmas Day and New Year's Day. This company may close early (like around 2-3PM) on New Year's Eve and Christmas Eve, but they'll be open on those days. (I still have to make sure I have the day of NYE off.) I don't get any other days off, though I don't work Sundays. While Christmas isn't a big deal for me, it is for most people, so I can see that weekend being gameless. Since three of my players have opted out of NYE (I think) and I'd rather have that evening to spend with friends locally, I won't try to run a session then either.

I'll consider running a session on New Year's Day or the day after (Sunday) if at least four of my players would be in attendance. A Sunday session would have to end at 10PM (US EST) like our normal games, while a Saturday game wouldn't have a rigid time limit. Anyone in my group who is available on either New Year's Day or the day after, and would like to play, please post what times you're free.

Kat, if my group opts out for the weekend of Jan 1st/2nd, would you want to run?

Reyolen: Who are you talking to, Katrinity or me?

Drakkenmaw: School people get vacation, but most companies only close for a couple days (particularly since the holidays fall on Friday/Saturday). This means I don't have the option of running on a weekday. Katrinity may be able to run a weekday session, but I could only attend for a few hours during the evening.

1) No. I'll be busy with friends and family around New Years eve/day too.

2) He isn't in my game so I doubt he would be talking to me.

You better let him answer, because he asked for the schedule to be changed so that whoever he was talking to would be running New Year's Eve.

He is talking about maybe another game a while back that ya'll switched schedules. And New Years Day is different than Eve.

But New Year's Day is Saturday, so to switch would mean you running your game on New Year's Eve (the aforementioned friday). If he was talking to me and meant moving my game one day later, it would have nothing to do with when we swapped weeks back in spring. That would leave the reference to 'friday' completely unexplained.

The Sunday after New Year's is completely open for me. Actual New Year's Day is a complete unknown to me right this moment - usually we don't do anything big, but we may end up going to visit relatives. I hope not, though.

So New Year's Day times would be best-off starting later than usual, just in case. Sunday is free to start and end as usual.

Hmm, I think I worded that poorly, but it was more for content, not exact language. I've been writing quite a bit of essays lately, so I can get a bit confused. Actually, it was more for general advise, but I was more speaking to Doc. New Years Eve, Day, whatever

Anyway, we can take two weeks off if that's what people want. I just think I might forget what we were doing.
