06-22-06, 09:50 PM I have been emailing a group for about a week, and i know i will fit in with them (gaming style, personality, time of meeting) the only problem is that since a few of them are new the DM is running Speaker in dreams.

I have played that twice and actually DMed it a few years back(i think all of us have at least played it once).

The question is should i join in the game while they are still playing it (and i just do not talk as much about it) or wait until they have finished it. Since it is in a town and they just started it (first encounter with the wererats) mergeing in the character is easy enough.

I am afraid what is nostagia to me is going to get annouying to those figureing it out

Once the adventure is over the players (with your help) will know whats going on & you can fully get into it.
