Unsurprisingly given how quirky my memory is, I remembered I have a wedding of a relative to attend Saturday, and still haven't gotten a present. Very typical, not a big deal but an obvious reason not to try to start the game Friday or Saturday. Anyway it looks like we'll probably have a smaller game than normal, I am going to NB some of our thus-far absent players and email the couple I have addresses for since there's a good chance they haven't noticed a game is starting and I'll keep my fingers crossed we might attract some new players but while we do have enough for a game already I really would like to see more people. On the upside, smaller groups do make for faster games and they have been going rather long of late so there is a possible 'silver lining'.
