I was talking with Sullla about trying out some online co-op on For the King. We'd both like to do that, but Sullla mentioned that if possible, it would be best if we could have a third player.
Anybody interested in joining us?
If you don't know what I'm talking about, Sullla has a few good writeups about the game at his website.

I'd be interested. I just checked, and I have 259 hours logged, but last played on September 29. I expect 20% of those hours are the game sitting idle while I did dishes or laundry. I'm in the US Eastern time zone.

That sounds good! I'm in Eastern as well so that would put all three of us in the same time zone.
I guess next we'd need to figure out when we want to try to do it... Saturdays are by far the most free days that I have, with nothing scheduled right now for any of the upcoming ones. Other than that, I would just have a few hours in the evening (probably around 5:30 or 6 through about 9) free on weekdays, sans Wednesdays. Sundays probably won't really work for me.
I don't know what you guys would think about this, but I personally wouldn't mind if we ended up doing a game over several shorter sessions.

Yeah, my schedule is pretty similar. I'm usually busy from 4-6 PM on Saturday, and 7-9 PM on Thursday.
Several shorter sessions are probably easier to manage than a single marathon session. What content are we playing? I've been playing Hildebrant's Cellar almost exclusively.

Not sure what we'll be doing, but I was tentatively thinking of the new Into the Deep adventure. Could go for any, though.

I usually do most of my gaming on Fridays and weekday evenings. Saturdays and Sundays are sometimes free, depending on whether or not I have anything planned for the same day. I suppose I should back up and ask a more basic question first: where is everyone located? I'm on the east coast of North America (EST timezone) for coordination purposes. I'll suggest using Discord for voice communication; I have a channel already setup here: https://discord.gg/AhG2KwQ
I'll also plan to Livestream whatever we end up doing unless one of you objects.

We're all US Eastern time zone. Sounds like Wednesday and Thursday nights are out. I travel for work frequently, which can make my schedule somewhat variable on weekdays, although I should be able to play from a hotel room if it comes to that. It's easier for me to set aside a block of time on the weekend, especially with advance notice, but I can do a few hours on a weeknight.
I have no objections to livestream, although I'd like to settle all the setup questions first.

Confirming that I'm US Eastern time - quite convenient! So it seems as though Monday, Tuesday, and Friday evenings are our best options, with Saturdays as a possibility. Weeknights I wouldn't be available before 5:30, and I usually like to get ready for bed shortly after 9, so that leaves just a few hours in there (and I also need to do something about dinner!), but as long as we're willing to do shorter sessions (which I am) that should be fine.
Fridays are a bit variable, though - my parents like to invite me over for dinner on Friday evenings and that would take precedence over this. Maybe we could try for this Friday evening, provided I'm free? (Heck, I could even go for tomorrow night, but I don't know if we could all be ready by then.)
Discord for voice chat sounds perfect for me, since that's the only means for that that I currently have! And having Sullla Livestream it sounds like fun.

So what do you guys think about trying to play a session this Friday evening? Barring unforeseen circumstances I should be available, starting at about 5:30 or shortly thereafter.

I can play. I've never done Discord chat, but I have a webcam with microphone that I assume will work for voice.
