I should probably really severe my ties with this for good, but I just wanted to ask quickly -since my schedule seems like it's stabilised enough that with some effort I should be able to make it on for the next couple of months, would it be okay for me to join in for that length of time?  I'm fine if it's not, I realise this is probably a reasonably long term RPG and a character who can only participate for the next couple months could be problematic to accomodate, and you've already got a pretty big band.  I can try to find other, shorter term RPG opportunities if that's better for the rest of you.  But I thought I'd ask.
