So, remember when I was talking about a game that covers 1st-7th year? AKA here ;)
I have decided that yes, I am going to do this. I have decided on the class of 1996, two years before the trio year, (Angelina/Fred/George/Lee/Alicia's year.) This is because for their 3rd-7th year, events can and will be taken from the first 5 HP books. I will actually be rereading the books - or skimming - in preparations for the game.
Now, the game will not open until this summer, most likely, due to the fact that I plan on having certain things done in FULL prior to opening -- and by in full, I mean accessible to players in game as well. The calender/time line for the ENTIRE game, all "7 years" will be posted, for example, so there will be no surprises on what year/day it is in game, or when things are going to occur.
However once I have the basics up at a community - locked from the public - I will be allowing those who are expressing interest in the game to see the journal/information and start thinking about holds and characters..
If anyone is interested in helping me out, as I figure out plot points and events to use for the calender, and other setting up sorts of things... let me know :) Otherwise, I just wanted to keep you in the loop that said game is in the process of being planned, and is, in fact, coming ;)
PS. If this game is successful, I am considering doing this same thing for the MWPP class. However, as there are more events from the books to go off of if choosing a Trio-Era class, I will be using this era as the "let's see if this format of a game actually works" since it's less work for me to get the timeline set up ;)
