Morning means a.m EST. I need to be ready to work at 11:25am. So it could start as late 9am EST, especially for the first two games. Would that still be prohibitive?
I am hoping this won't matter anyway and we will have a Wednesday or Thursday slot midday that works for everyone.

9am EST is 5am for me, so yes, that is prohibitive. xD So I guess for me, that means weekend game (your weekend), or I'll have to sit out. Let's see how the scheduling goes before we decide that.

We have three votes for campfire memories, so if you mean the first set of dates are out, I'll set the game for my next "weekend" and make a family camping chat.

The theme for September is fantasy! For scheduling, the game will need to be either Wednesday, or Saturday or Sunday mornings EST to accommodate time zones, from September 4th on.
Our most involved choice is Pugmire. It's based on DnD 5e, but streamlined, in a post-humanity world where the protagonists are canine adventurers. It should be easier to prepare for if you have Dungeons and Dragons experience, but that's not a prerequisite to play. I can work with you to make your character.
Spell: The RPG is the second most complex. In has a unique magic system where the main feature is that you cast spells by making words from random letters! The developers have generator to use for the letters, and it only needs six-sided dice. While the other offerings are fantasy adventure, this one can be played in any fantasy setting, so we can work out that before we make characters.
For a game we can run "right out of the box" we have Rolling with Laughter. Just pick your character from the five available, and you'd be ready to play. If you have a physical d12, make sure you have it available. The story is more structured here, but its a fun one!

I voted for D) All Of The Above, which I know doesn't help narrow down the choices... but honestly, all of them sound really fun! I voted just to show my interest anyway. ^_^
Thank you so much for running these, Pixie! <3

I should have more free time starting September 13th, so I went ahead and voted. Right now, the plan is to be off from work every Wednesday for class in the evenings, so Wednesdays would work. Otherwise, Sunday and Saturday mornings would probably work as well, as I get every other weekend off, and the weekends I do work, it's in the afternoon/evening.

Since votes in favor of Pugmire are unanimous, we'll be playing it this month! I can run this on the 11th at the earliest so we have time to prepare. Gather your polyhedral dice and and get ready to answer the question: who's a good dog?
The book actually has premade character sheets (which can be modified as needed), or we can stick with making our dog adventurers from scratch. As it provides a cast of six, this tells me it can run with that many players, so I can take up to two more people who haven't voted yet.
Please let me know which of the following dates are most viable for you: Most flexibility, Wednesday: 9/15, 9/22, or 9/29 Back up dates, regular weekends: 9/11, 9/12, 9/18, 9/19, 9/25, or 9/26

Okay, so... I've realized scheduling is kind of tricky for me this month. I can make any day work, but it depends on different circumstances.
September 15th is when we celebrate Mexico's Independence Day, so I won't be available on the evening that day. I could make it earlier in the day, though!
Regular weekends can be kinda tricky for me. Saturdays I (usually) see my boyfriend, and Sundays are when my sister comes over to have lunch with my parents and I. That means I'm busy in the middle of the day, so for weekend games to work for me, they would have to be in the morning --ideally ending at 2pm CST at the very latest,-- or evenings after like 7pm CST.
However, my boyfriend has some vacation days this month, and things might be different... I might be able to see him other days of the week. It's all kind of up in the air for me right now. I can save a day for roleplaying and plan around it no problem, I just need to know when.

Saturday 11th - Working Sunday 12th - Free Wednesday 15th - Free until class in the evening Saturday 18th - Free until mid-afternoon, when I start working Sunday 19th - Free until mid-afternoon, when I start working Wednesday 22nd - Free until class in the evening Saturday 25th - Free Sunday 26th - Free (Two free days in a row? This far in advance? That probably won't last, might end up camping or something.) Wednesday 29th - Free until class in the evening
Of those days, I trust the Wednesdays more, as the class in the evening means others won't be tempted to fill in my schedule. I also prefer later in the month, more time to prepare. But overall, I have more options now.

Finally I get to realise my true potential as a Good Dog ;u;
Saturday 11th - Nope!! Euroatlantis D&D night! Sunday 12th - available between 7am and 6pm Pixie Time. Wednesday 15th - available between 2pm and 6pm Pixie Time. Saturday 18th - Nope! Double Euroatlantis?! Sunday 19nd - available between 7am and 6pm Pixie Time. Wednesday 22th - available between 2pm and 6pm Pixie Time. Saturday 25st - available between 2 pm and 6pm Pixie Time - unless Cat Delay. Sunday 26rd - available between 7 am and 6pm Pixie Time. Wednesday 29kg - available between 2pm and 6pm Pixie Time.
Sundays are most flexible as those are the days when I am home all day and definitely do not need to check on cats between two buses. Wow, my playing a dog already hinges so much on cats.
