Halls of Valhalla: Forseti Middle Era Open

[Warhammer]

I think creating games on a bimonthly basis is best. There are several reasons for this:

1) It gives people a chance to try new nations and pretender builds.
2) People know how long it will be until the next game is started.
3) People can get acclimated to their games before deciding if they are going to join a new one.

I would also leave open the option of creating an additional game if demand is high. I think games are best if they are in the 8-10 player range, enough to give a good degree of variety and interaction, but small enough to keep the game moving. If the scheduled 8-10 player game fills up fast, you can always have a spillover game start up to take the overflow.

The only other important thing is to keep eras fluid, don't start up a bunch of any one type of game at one time, unless that is what players want.

I think Warhammer's idea of an "on demand" game to catch any spill over is a great one.

I think this approach would allow for a slower approach with beneifts:
1) Add only 1 game a month;
2) Generate addtional games "on demand";
3) Assessment what that demand really is, and increase to bi-monthly later if warranted;
4) Evaluate impact on substitute availability;

I also concur that some attempt should be made to give all eras exposure.

I do plan to expose all eras.
I'll probably do three medium games followed by one large game, then change some setting, especially the era.

Thanks for the feedback, and I'll be glad to hear more.

I wouldn't wait 4 games before changing the era, but that is just me. I would do one in each era, then the big game in era X. But that's me...

Llamabeast has been posting lately, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's back. Any update on the status of the BAG?

I'm back!

Hey LP,

I'm bumping this thread.

Looks like there may be a few games winding down, and several players are looking for a new game. Are you ready to start creating a new game?
