In which Doug whines

gridloreUp front, a lot of this comes from my eagerness to get back to my life after my doctor's appointment tomorrow. I'm feeling much better and ready to get back to work, even if that eventually means moving to an inside job. But...
For the past ten years I've had multiple people tell how much they'd love to be in one of my games. I've been told in email, person, and in this journal just how cool it would be to game with me. Trust me, I've wanted to get back into gaming myself, but circumstances were always against me. My job was too flaky - I was working weekends most places and had odd hours, I had no good place to play since our apartment was a disaster, and I was still locked into my older game modes of thought. All of which led to me never really getting anything off the ground.
Now that has changed. I have weekends off. I have a great place to play. And a great set of rules and a good campaign setting that people have expressed interest in. I put out a call for players to meet once, maybe twice a month and get...
one player. Plus two out of the area folks who have volunteered to play as semi-NPCs (as they are a Russian and a Finn, I'm eager for their input.)
Is it me? Was everyone lying? Changed their minds? Really hate the idea of Ars Magica? I have the rules as a .pdf if you'd like to look them over. I'm looking for another 2 - 4 people who want to do a game that meets face to face once a month at Game Kastle in Santa Clara for a session, and does much of the rest of the play online through email and/or a dedicated LJ or FB group. Hell, if someone can make it work, I'd even be willing to do some of the gaming on KloOge. But I really prefer meeting to game, then adjourning for food and conversation.
Hell, if it comes to it, I'd be willing to offer crash space at my place to a player.
Not sure what I'm expecting out of this, but I'm really bad about holding things in and letting them fester. I want to game. I have a game. I just need gamers.
