Send some prelims in ASAP, cuz that’s a great habit to get yourself into… and since I hear there’s a holiday thing coming up this week, let’s make the first deadline for: Wed, Jan 2, 2pm Pacific! That way we can take our time and not feel rushed to get negotiations in between the turkey and the pie… I will generally run about 1-week deadlines, with 2 days for retreats and/or builds. If that is too slow or too fast for anyone, be sure to say so.

If you have any questions, LET ME KNOW! I don’t know the experience levels of the players here as you’re mostly all new to me.

Also, introductions are welcome!

Tentative schedule:
Spring 01 due Wed Jan 2
Fall 01 due Wed Jan 9
Builds 01 due Fri Jan 11
(always 2pm Pacific)

For the record, some useful stuff:
