There is no specific co-GM list. You can check this thread to see when someone decides to GM, and you can just ask them if you tag along as a co. 

Speaking of, LG list is as follows -> 

1. @Steeldancer (non-Sanderson slot not available though)
2. @xinoehp512 has two games up there.
3. @The Wandering Wizard also 2 slots.
4. @Elandera
5. @Ashbringer
6. @Aeoryi

Followed by @OoklaApologist, @A Jo in the Bush and @The Unknown Medallion.

Oh okay, that makes sense. Well, if anyone’s willing, lmk, if not I’ll just keep checking here

If someone has a ruleset they'd like to see run I can see if I can make it happen (@coco.pudding)

This is where I’m at rn. I think it’s probably a bit overly complicated especially for a first time gm, and the powerscaling is definitely a bit wonky, so maybe I could get some advice?

I’m after TUM on the LG list, and I’m available to run my game (rerun of my House on the Hill game with updated rules) if nobody ahead of me wants to. I’d probably also appreciate a co-GM if @coco.pudding is interested.

I think we’ll probably go through the top of the LG list and mark some folks as inactive. The way things are now we need to go through 2-3 rounds of pings before we get a GM, which is slowing down getting each future game started.

Yeah I’m down, that’d be cool

Agreed.

I am not available to GM at this time.

[Araris Valerian he/him]

I'll get my rules into the committee this week with the goal of posting signups over the weekend, assuming nobody ahead of me on the list responds before then.

I had a look at this, and the premise is interesting. It may help to look at Wyrm's QF22. Player list split into Day players and Night players - with Day and Night players bonded to each other. The main with this was it severely affected activity because Day players could only post during Day cycles and Night players could only post during Night cycles. 

I was looking at this game when I ran QF50, I removed the whole split cycles thing and just ran it based on bond pairs. 

The fact that both the Radiants and Spren can talk in both cycles is definitely a good thing. If you are considering to run an MR, I would suggest splitting 48 hours to 24-hour of Radiant and Spren cycles. You could also run this as LG - 48 hour Radiant cycle Days and 24-hour Shadesmar cycle Nights. 

Elim team numbers would need to be balanced to be lower than usual because of 2 conversions.

Oh this is helpful, thank you!

I also realized I put this in the wrong thread so I’m gonna post it over there instead sorry about that

[Ashbringer he/him]

I’m… mark me as busy until July, I will maybe be free enough to play but not to run. (Plus summertime I’ll have time to Shard Game possibly)

Hello GM's, now that QF79 has started, we should start looking for the GM of LG112! The QF probably has less than two weeks, so the signups for LG112 will hopefully go up between May 17th and May 24th.

@xinoehp512, you are at the top of the list currently, twice actually! If you want it, it's yours. We don't currently have a game approved from you. Any ideas?

After that it's @Aeoryi, who apparently has a role-madness Mistborn game in the works. 

@Jo and the Bush, you're in third in line, also with no game listed. If Xino and Aeoryi can't take it, can you?

@The Unknown Medallion, you're fourth, and according to the spreadsheet, you have an unapproved game involving Nightblood and Breath Mechanics. Is that ready to go if your three predecessors can't do it?

@Kasimir, you're fifth. Hopefully we don't have to go down that far, but do you have a game to run if it gets down to you?

Thanks, but I'm a bit busy with school for the next 5 weeks. After that I should be able to run a game, but not right now.

I do still have that twisted ruleset... I think that was actually the first one I ever made 

would be fun to give it a spin and see how it turns out

Not sure if I'm able to GM though... lots on my plate at the moment, so I'm hesitant to pick up another thing

Alrighty. There's still 10 others to choose from, so don't do it if you don't think you can. Thanks for the spectacularly quick response!

@Hoid Slayer and @KaladinsSenseOfHumourSpren you two are now in spots 4 and 5. If Xino, TUN, and Kasimir can't run it, do either of you have both a game an the time?

Xino has confirmed via Discord that they are unavailable to run a game right now.

Uhh oh schnapp

Wait

I have my Worldhopper crossover LG

I wanna do it right though and I don’t think I’ve really got the time with the end of the year approaching

I would love to co-GM with someone however, and maybe over the break I can run a game proper

I really wanna get back into playing but I’m so busy

If you like I could help with GMing, it would probably be good to have some experience before I eventually run my own game.

If I end up GMing I'll extend an invitation to have you as COGM 

[Through the living Wahr He/Him]

That would be very nice, I appreciate it

[Verdance he/him]

If I sign up to GM a game, how long will I wait?

obviously not qualified right now, but maybe i will be by the time

[Through the living Wahr He/Him]

Well the Duration depends obviously on the length of the Waitlist and if people leave the active Waitlist due do inactivity. But it will be quite a while between signing up, and being a GM, based on the length of the Waitlist and common Game lengths it will be probably between 1 and 1,5 years if you sign up now.

(This information is solely based on my estimates with Game lengths and Waitlist length not actuall experience)

This is the List we have of GM's. It's somewhat difficult to predict how long you would have to wait. Currently, if Aeoryi doesn't decide to GM LG112, it will be TUN. If TUN decides not to, I'll keep going down the list by asking Twinstorm, Tow, Wahrheit, and Araris. Those 4 are pretty far down the list, so we normally wouldn't expect them to be running a game already, but because everyone else said no, it might happen. (It won't, TUN is getting his game ready, so if Aeoryi does say no, he'll be running LG112)

But basically, just because you're low on the list, it doesn't mean that it will be a long time. On average, a game is posted every 26.17 days (taking only the past two years of games into account), and goes in order of LG - MR - LG - QF. If your really want to run a game, and others are a bit busy? You could sign up for a QF and potentially run it 3 months from now. More likely is you sign up for a Long Game and run it 11 months from now.

Worst case scenario,, the 35 inactive GM's on the list come back to activity and the wait time to run a game increases to 6 years.

What type of game? Long Game, Mid-Range, or Quick Fix?

Mid-range
