I'm actually looking into Roll20 as the likeliest option of getting this thing off the ground. Seems to have a very easy-going UI that anyone can get and use. I've DM'd before (with an original campaign, no less) but I think I'm not that great with it; I tend to just want to play with the crew instead of guiding them. I will do it if no one is willing to step up to bat. As soon as I get some more research in, and maybe get a bit more organize and have some people interested and locked, then this thing might just take off. I learned on 3.5 but played more with 4th than anything else ... In terms of what I'm looking for, I like to play in mid-to-high optimization, mid-to-high level, story-driven, open-world sandbox campaigns with minimal railroading or combat; I generally dislike combat because it's extremely time consuming, to a point where a combat round (which is supposed to be six seconds in-game time) can take an hour or more real time, and is minimally rewarding unless combat involves a bunch of mooks who pretty much die in one or so hits, or a Big Bad Evil Guy/Gal (BBEG) who has been built up over a period of time. I also only play evil characters, but not the moustache-twirling or party-backstabbing kind; rather, I tend to play neutral evil by D&D rules because I play consequentialists, whereas D&D morality/ethics is about your means, not your ends. I'd like to avoid Epic 6 campaigns and in fact prefer starting between levels 7 and 10, because before then, player characters don't feel special at all; in fact, they feel weak and not particularly heroic. Regarding character creation, I think using the point-buy system is for the best, to avoid the randomness of rolling for stats, and again, I think a high-end point buy would be in the interest of players. I'll be sure to have none of these things available to you if I'm DM'ing.

So, we doing some video game this week, or are we going for D&D? DnD probably won't happen for a ways, yet. So post suggestions for games this week and we'll see where it goes from there.

I've never been big on mmorpg, but star trek online was fun because of the trek cast crew, so anything sounds good because with good company any thing can be fun!

Depending on the genre to be played, I'd suggest Marvel Heroes (Diablo 2 clone), Warframe (shooter), or Spiral Knights (MMO). RaiderZ also interest me, but I haven't given it a go yet, so I can't really recommend it.

My gaming laptop crashed on me and I stopped playing. When I get a new laptop, I'm planning on playing it again.

When I get a new laptop, I'm planning on playing it again. when i was playing it was $20 or so a month now i guess its like free to play, pay to win from what I hear. But hey the more time in the trek verse the better.
Firefly mmorpg is coming out soon and it looks like the shit!

My suggestion is this, if it's gonna be at least 8 people, let's do Versus on L4D. If it's gonna be 6 or less, then Mann VS Machine or Warframe. I won't be around on Sat though, Friday and Sunday I'll be very much available at night.

I know I won't be able to catch a few game nights until I can get this current project I'm working on out from under me.
