The Sam & Max Save the World group play is scheduled to begin on Friday, July 29. I don't know how many of us have this game and it hasn't really been on a good sale since we made the group play list. I own it and want to play it with the group but I don't want to play alone.
So these questions come to mind: Who owns Sam & Max already? (Jo, lurkercat, smitty189, good2bqueen, moni)
Do we have enough people to play it in the group or are enough people interested in playing it? If we don't have enough people, do we need to postpone Sam & Max until someone has a good sale? If we postpone it, what game can we substitute? Would enough people consider substituting a FREE game, if I post a list?

I have Sam & Max but would be willing to postpone playing till others can get it at a good sale price. I am definitely always up for playing a free game (did everyone get Sanitarium when you announced it?). If you wanted to move up another game from our next set that is currently available for a nominal price, my personal top 2 preferences would be Agent A: A Puzzle in Disguise (got hooked by the demo) and Keepsake.

Here's another suggestion. We've got Samorost 2 on the next schedule. Samorost 1 is FREE at GOG. It's a very short game - about an hour. It was originally a Flash game.
I like lurkercat's suggestion of Agent A or Keepsake.

Seems, most of us have Sam and Max, now...lol... I just recently got it, too, from my Fairy Godmother. However, I'm happy to play any of the suggested replacements, as well. Jajaja!

BTW, as long as we are discussing pricey games - any chance of/interest in rescheduling the group play of Moontrain (currently set for 8/26) till after BFG releases the SE version (assuming there is one)? Though the CE was purportedly scheduled for earlier this month at BFG, it has been delayed (supposedly perhaps pending correction of bugs reported in the Steam version). Even if the CE is released imminently though, I would not expect to see the SE by 8/26, just based on how Tearstone 2, from the same developer, rolled out (SE was delayed by a surprisingly long ~10 weeks from the CE, vs more standard 4-6 week delay in such versions). Note this is not to say the CE and the Steam version are not worth their current prices (the beta was terrific and clearly a LOT of great work went into this game!), just that SEs fit better into my budget and buying patterns. I'd planned to skip the group play & just play by myself when the SE finally came out, but wondering if anyone else is interested in delaying it.

So, do we want to go ahead with Sam & Max? Pennmom doesn't have S&M yet. (Oh, my. That is an unfortunate abbreviation.) Or do we want to swap it with Keepsake or Agent A? Just add your vote for Sam & Max, Keepsake or Agent A in the comment section below. Majority rules! Tomorrow will be here before we know it!

Well, I just assumed that we were starting Keepsake today so I started the thread for it and changed the schedule. If it's not, I'll change it back.
I have a couple of things to take care of this morning and then I'll start.

pennmom, Sorry I've been AWOL. I am training to get my CDL A and the hotel where I am staying has extremely poor internet service. I am at the local library now. I hope to be able to join in group plays. I do miss them; but I don't know what my work schedule will be; so I will jump in when I can

lurkercat, if I'm not mistaken the SE Tearstone was delayed mostly because of the sudden death of Kris, Moontrain was finished by the team at Dragonseye as well. The Steam version is the SE, it may go on sale by the 26th of August? Personally, I'd love to finish Moontrain but held off for GPG, and I invited vladanaf to join us. Maybe he will pop in and let us know how the SE is coming along?
