Hi guys I'm new to GMing on FG2 and will be trying to running a game this weekend.
The system will be Pathfinder and I am not sure how long the game will last do to scheduling. The game will be "Well Met in Kith'takharos" do to the fact that I'm still learning the system from the GM's side of the table and I would like to run something pre-made to help me learn how to run that type of adventure.

Character gen will use the point buy (20 points to use).
You will need to make your own character.
Starting wealth will be the average (out of the book) You will get your gear form the starting wealth.

I will try an run something on Saturday ( 11/24/12 ) 5:00PM (CDT)
We will be using Teamspeak server or Dolby Axon
https://axon.dolby.com/download_sign_up.php<--- This link will start the download.


Here is the link for the game calender.

More information might be useful to prospective players.
- Will this be using voice-chat, or the FG2 chat window?
- Is the time slot during the day or in the evening?
- Will there be pre-generated characters if players don't have their own?

I don't have Pathfinder but I could be interested if it's a UK friendly time slot. My availability is fairly limited (around 8pm to 11pm). I'd be interested in text chat, though possibly voice (I find not being able to see the people I'm talking to weird).

The time can be adjusted to the needs of the players if able and I would like to use TeamSpeak or Dobly Axon for voice. Dobly Axon is a free download form

You're better off with one less extra download for people - use the community TS3 server - it's there already and many people are already configured for it.

I have free Team Speak for 40 players we can use. I am in the central time zone in the USA.

*I own the team speak so I can give you admin rights.

FG2 has its own server that is free for anyone to use and if i create a room on it I"ll have admin for that room.

Hey DJ - dont be too doscouraged - sometimes you have to try a few times to get your game off the ground...

You really need to pick a day/time and try to stick with it. Switching from a Saturday to a Monday, with a 5 PM start time to boot (when many people are still either coming home from work or school) makes it difficult for anyone to consider committing to a game.

Give some thought to when you want to DM and what a reasonable start and end time might be (I'd suggest 4 hours is about the max the average person can sit around in one go from my experience), and start recruiting... expecting a full player list in just about two days is unrealistic, especially when you are just starting out IMO.

Had you stayed with the original Saturday (i.e. tonight), I could have joined to give you some DMing walk-through pointers and tips, but Monday night is a non-starter for me in my particular situation.

The point of this game was to help me get use to Gming so i was trying to find a day when everyone could play.

You only need 1 or 2 players to help you do this.
Have you DMd in RL before?
As John says - post a time with enough notice so that interested players can sign up.
Post a little detaail too :)
