This is my recruitment thread for a CORE run of PFS Scenario 0-5, Mists of Mwangi.
Full Disclosure: I am hoping to use this scenario and a couple others in order to level up a core PFS character that I currently have involved in another scenario. I encourage role-playing and thoughtful descriptions in my games. Nevertheless, I am planning to run this as a quick-paced game.
Game Expectations
I ask for a posting rate of 2-3 times per day during the business week and 1-2 times over the weekend, though I realize (and expect) that real life can get in the way of fun at times and that not all players will be able to meet that pace. At such a posting rate, I expect to complete the scenario within 4-5 weeks. I expect folks to occasionally be unavailable for a period of time. If I know that I will be unavailable for some reason for more than 24 hours (or 48 over a weekend), I will post such. I request and expect all players to do the same.
I will bot players who do not post anything within a 24 hour period. To that end, I will request each player have botting instructions in place before the end of the first briefing.
Before the game begins, I will post a botting policy similar to those used by other GMs on these boards.
Game Expectations (Again?)
Yes, again. Please do what is reasonably possible to keep to the posting rate expectation of 2-3 times per day during the business week and 1-2 times over the weekend. In addition to myself, one of more your fellow players will likely also be relying on you to do your part to help complete the scenario in the projected time-frame as they may have signed up for this particular run of the scenario in order to have the character available or leveled-up for a previously scheduled run at an upcoming convention, game-day, on-line game, etc.. By keeping to the post-rate you have committed to, you are being courteous and respectful of your fellow players’ time and commitment.
Play-Style
Although there will be opportunities for role-play, expect things to move quickly. I will likely use GM rolls for Initiative, Perception, and a number of other checks. Expect players’ rolls to primarily be limited to combat.
Also, I will be using the Missives from the old Faction missions to add flavor and history to the scenario and because they can be silly and fun! They are, of course, purely optiona and not required, but again, they can be fun (and silly, did I mention silly?).
Start Date
Presently looking at Wednesday, June 12, 2018, or whenever we have five players, whichever comes first.
Number of Players
Two spots are being held for players who have contacted me in advance and who I know from prior experience can meet the expected post-rate.
Otherwise, in the interest of a fast start, it is first come, first served. As this is an early scenario—as was the case during Outpost-- I plan only to take up to 3 more players (for a total of 5). If Wednesday comes and I have only three players, then I will go ahead and get started.
Still Interested?
Great! If this game sounds like something you'd be interested in, go ahead and post here with your responses to the following:

1) Player name:
2) Character name:
3) PFS#-Character#:
4) Faction:
5) Day Job:
6) Character Level:
7) Regular or slow speed for chronicle:
Welcome Cellion! Nice to see another familiar face and bringing your cursed rhymer, no less! A spot is yours if you want it.
The two players with reserved spots have already checked in above, so it is not clear what our final tier will be.
2 spots left.
