I was also hoping we'd get an indication (from above, maybe?) about how long a wait we're looking at. It just wouldn't surprise me if we hold off on this for a few days, only to find out that'll be a few weeks.
Anyway, the risk in starting the game now is that it'll get interrupted by the move and a good chunk of the early part of our game thread gets wiped out. With that possibility in mind, I think we're just going to chance it.
Think I'm going to just go with it. If the game dies right away, we can start it over (maybe reassigning the roles first?). If it gets going well first, we can temporarily suspend it (assuming enough of a heads up), or just end it and start up the next game in line.
