Hey all, just a quick update. I'll be putting together your squads tomorrow, along with getting any necessary npcs into the character's tab. We should be on track for the first IC post on Monday. As of right now, we have 7 players/characters. Since most everyone said they'd rather do small squads, I'll likely put you all in squads of 3, as that is as small as I want to go. That being said, We'll need 2 more characters for an even 3 squads if that is the case. I wasn't intending on playing a character in your guys' squads; I think that as a GM it is better to tell the story through NPCs and whatnot, instead of also personally involving myself in your storyline, if that makes sense. We have three options:
1. Wait for two more people to fill those spots. In this case, the IC will be postponed until those spots are filled.
2. I can fill in any spots that we don't fill with my own characters. This is really up to you guys. I'm fine with it, though I do feel like a GM shouldn't be getting personally involved with the main cast, as I know everything that will happen and that can get messy. In this case, the IC will go up on Monday as planned.
3. I can allow you all to play multiple characters. With 7 players/characters, if everyone chooses to play multiple characters we'll be capped at 14. Another awkward number, but you don't have to play more than one character if you don't want to. In this case, if anyone that wishes to double up gets their character sheet in by tomorrow, we can go ahead with a Monday IC schedule as planned.
Let me know what you all think. I'm fine with any of them. You guys playing multiple characters could be interesting, as I have some ideas that do require a large group (Larger than what we have currently).
EDIT: I totally didn't originally put this in the character's tab. Nope! You're seeing things.
