Oxford Garou/Mage

[annwfyn]

Ahem.

*looks embarassed*

It appears that I may have missed a small detail while planning the next Oxford game. This small detail is that the fourth Sunday of March is actually Easter Sunday, and apparently some people may not wish to spend their Easter Sunday pretending to be werewolves.

We then have the additional problem of the weekend beforehand being utterly unfeasible for both the DC and DST for real life reasons and the weekend afterwards being the Garou National, after which there is no more Garou chronicle.

At the moment I think I have five options:

• Run the game on the Sunday anyway.
  
  Yeah, you heard me. Screw your families and all the good things associated with them. Sod spending some quality time lounging around eating chocolate. Come and play garou or mage.



• Run the game on the Saturday before easter.
  
  Hey - it's close enough! This is likely to be a bit more expensive and I'm not sure how easy it would be to get a venue for the Saturday in Oxford, but I think I can find something.



• Run the game some time during the week - maybe a Thursday or Tuesday before or afterwards.
  
  This would depend rather heavily on jez's work schedule and I'm not sure how feasible this is either, or whether many people would be able to make Oxford in the middle of the week.



• Not have the Oxford game at all this month.
  
  To be honest, if it weren't the end of the world I'd be more tempted. I think I'd quite like Oxford to end properly, if we can find a way to make that happen.



• Run Oxford the next weekend, straight after the Garou National.
  
  In some ways this actually vaguely appeals. Caroline spoke about wanting the Oxford game to continue without the garou mostly because she wanted the Garou chronicle to be remembered. In some ways I think it might be interesting to work as closely as possible with the National ST team and work out if we can run an 'epilogue' game, where the after effects of the National are felt and possibly some of the garou PCs would get to interact with the mages one last time and say their goodbyes/end the crossover. Again - not sure if the ending of the Garou chronicle is likely to let that work.

Either way - these are the options we've got. Please comment/mail me/phone me or something and let me know your opinions. I've really got to make a decision by tomorrow in order to get something out on the lists in time.

So. What do people think?
