have fun

@Coyote, sorry. I will need to drop out of this and several games. Here’s what I posted on Discord a few minutes ago:

Hey, all. I just made a decision to drop pretty much all of my PF games. You may have noticed I have consistently played with heart and enthusiasm, but lately I think I come off more like a zombie nudging a d20.

~L. Sidekick

Sorry to hear that, Sidekick.
I hope things get better for you.

sad to see you go

Sorry to see you go Sidekick. Thanks for coming along for the journey.

That is sad - I like the PS Finch you portrayed a lot. I hope the Job Hunt goes well - may your luck with criticals carry over to real life!

So, before we respond to the Margrave, refresh my memory - are we openly agents of the Tetrad, or secretive?
Should we mention the involvement of the Conclave of Niln?

Secretive agents. Mentioning the Conclave is up to your discretion, but the Conclave is also a fairly secretive organization so the Margrave may not understand what you're talking about.

Do we need to keep what happened at the factory secret? We're okay to have been hired by 'the owners' to investigate, aren't we?

That should be ok

Should we look to add another PC?

It sounds like Pumpkin Spice might be able to rejoin us at some point in the future, but even if they did, we'd only be back to 4.

When I joined, we were at 6, I think. Had Armanus, Kristleifur, and Aakif.

It seems a free-form enough campaign that I imagine it isn't terribly difficult for the GM to adjust to changes in party size, but a) what size party is most fun for everyone? and b) are we lacking any problem-solving capabilities?
For example, we don't have any healing ability since losing Aakif.

I'd lean towards adding one, though we could keep going as we are.

Yep, I’m happy to add one or two. If anyone has folks they’d like to invite we can go that route, or I can reopen recruitment.

Works for me. Zyrel's a bit of an all rounder, so I'm not sure he really fills any niche amazingly well - but makes a good gap filler.

I'm okay with that

Which method would folks prefer?

I would prefer to reach out to known players rather than reopen recruitment. I don't have anyone in mind right now but can think about it and send you some thoughts. Of course if you have players you would like to invite then please go ahead.

I will ask around

I don't think I do at the moment, sorry.

How’s the asking around going?

I haven't invited anyone yet, but I'm trying to think of how I would describe this game so they would have clear expectations.

It's a bit off-beat and moves at varying speeds. The setting is not standard Golarion, and it seems a pretty open sandbox.

I like this game a lot. I'm just not sure how to describe it.

That's definitely a good way to describe it, I'd say.

I'll add that having fluctuating player numbers is often a hit to my posting motivation, so hopefully with players that foresee being able to stick around I should be more able to keep the pace up.

Off-beat and nonstandard Golarion with open-ended missions is probably how I'd describe it.

That description sounds apt.
I like this game as well, BTW. And my character as well

Well folks, I haven’t had much luck asking around, how do you all feel about reopening general recruitment?

Go for it. I have to admit I was beginning to think the game had fallen by the wayside.

Apologies for that, been pretty slammed lately and PbP has fallen somewhat on the backburner.

Real life happens. It's OK

Hello folks and thanks for having me on board!

Welcome

Greetings! Thank you for letting me come aboard!

Absolutely! I'm wiped from an exam I took today, but I'll get us back up and running tomorrow.

No worries! Sunday and Monday are pretty much the days where I'm not around much at all because of honey do lists and errands, though I do try to check.

Hello!

Greetings Zyrel!

And welcome Voleg as well

I hope I'm not coming across as rude, just awaiting DM instruction.

Thanks all for the greetings!

Varisia is in da... HOUSE!

Agreed. Just waiting on the go for introductions.

Yep, I'll move us there in my next post.

No worries!

Travelling for Veteran's Day weekend here in the States, I'll update us either tomorrow or Monday.

Enjoy your weekend!

Is the communication device two-way... and are they always listening in?

Not really, it's a magical device that lets them communicate to you and for you communicate back if needed.

Portable radios that need to be activated before anything can be transmitted, coolio!

For the record this is me trying to playing Zyrel's social issues, not intended to be unwelcoming or complaining!

B!tch, bytsh, b*t¢#... LOL. It's a great post!

Giving folks a chance to chime in.

Sorry for the wait folks, Thanksgiving snuck up on me, I’m hoping to get a post up tomorrow.

Hope it was a good one!

Largely OOC reasoning. I am guessing that the GM has made up some dungeon and put some work into it, so why let that effort go to waste?

The way it's written seems to imply it promises the least chance of being detected.

I'd be in favor of approaching openly, talking our way in, and figuring out what is going on, but at least this way we get to have something else interesting to do on our way.

Good point. Also, death by falling is an anticlimatic way to go
:D

Oh, I had this because Lanatir went off to forge his own path do exciting adventures while Zyrel spent literally decades working as a guard.
OOC totally agree with take the interesting path.
