Thanks to all for the comments.

The poll is open for about one more day. I'll put together a tentative weekly schedule after that, and we can get started!

Sounds like a great idea and a lot of fun. Count me in if possible.

Great, and welcome! Unless things change in the next couple of hours on the poll, I'll draw up a schedule for getting through Relentless later today and post it here. :-)

May I recommend scheduling time for participants to order and receive the book as well?

I will be happy to have some accountability for getting through the book, too. :-)
I second this. With Relentless moreover it is possible. As the book progresses, it introduces concepts and principles in the most natural manner. We can pause at each new concept, try introducing it in our games and evaluate afterwards.This will go slower but might make better use of the book.

Well then! Let's get started! I've started a thread specifically for studying Relentless here:

http://lifein19x19.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=13569

Please use this thread to post thoughts, questions, and any other discussion points that you'd like to make. Let's look forward to an excellent study group.

We can learn more together than on our own!
