4 Person group, Woot!

Great! Welcome Amaryllis.

I found Amaryllis and Cogsnap in the DB and have added them to the game.

@Mauve you are unable to register your user or your character?

@Cogsnap and thargrap I have added you to the channel if it did not work here is the link

An Unterhaltung in Hangouts teilnehmen

@Amaryllis you should be able to just join with the link.

Managed to register. My username on there is ThomasPDX.

As the event officially starts on the 1st and we have a full 4 players, any thought to getting the locations out there for us players to post starting hands and such so we can hit the ground running when the event officially starts?

Tomorrow my holiday ends so I can post. Thats a bit too much to do from my mobile. Also only since today I have mauve in the Software. If I dont get more server errors expect a starting post tomorrow.

Also any tactical preferences for turn order. Timing wise I work best adter people from Morning american time and before people posting in the evening.

I post Morning to early PM CST. (Work 2nd shift)

I'm in PST. Can usually post throughout the day.

Hmm we could try to put you in order of timezone, and me finishing off in the morning.

We are all spellcasters correct? So spell upgrades are going to be at a premium. Sure we going forward with that composition?

COG is NOT a spellcaster. He does have a single Spell slot, be he is totally going to be needing items and blessings. His Immolate is as much for barrier work as anything else.

Locations are posted, please note your starting hand and location.

If nobody objects to the order of play I will put that in like I described above.

And Lastly I am missing Amaryllis in the hangout.

Otherwise it looks to me like we are fine to go. If I forgot something please point me in the right direction.

Posted and ready to go.
@GM - The only thing you might want to do after filling in the locations with cards is create a special "random" items section for Cogsnap that has Alchemical or Liquid trait. 2-3 for each scenario should do it (as I can only get one after defeating a monster).

Thanks for the reminder, will be in there in the next update.

Will change to Valeros Core so we aren’t so spell hungry
Will post hand tonight after I build deck

BR Stuff
In order to facilitate a continuation of the scenario without you having to wait for me after your decision, I posted an update on the scenario.

The Update assumes that the evidence was shuffled into the deck.
That way I do not need to do a new update in either case.

If you decide that the avenge did not happen, play the scenario as posted.

If you decide the the avenge did happen, ignore any cards "Evidence" if you find it. and start moving freely immediately. In that case everybody starts at a random location I will post these in Spoilers so you can adopt your turn accordingly.

Kyras personal opinion on the avenge
But I don't have any problem if you want the avenge to have happened, either by overriding my vote 2:1 or by Valeros taking his right to decide on his own what to do with his cards. Buit I do vote against it for the following reasons:

At a table, when Cogsnap would have suggested avenging I would have argued against it, as spending 2 cards on a 50/50 chance seems wasteful to me. Also there would have been batter chances, like me taking the roll (70% instead of 50% if blessed) or waiting for me to find it with my Harrow deck (50% without a blessing)

Therefore taking the avenge now when we now we will succeed and we dont have to pay the full cost (because Cogsnap is gone no matter what) does not feel right.
However as cogsnap pointed out, if he had forced the issue and Valeros had given him the blessing it would have happened no matter what I thought.

Kyras personal opinion on continueing as a three player game.
Well I really dont have one. We can certainly continue as we are, with some problems in the areas of craft and disable.
But it is also not a big invest to replay two and a half scenarios with another fourth player.

If it comes to my vote I will probably say continue, but really not with much force behind it.

Happy on No Avenge.
* Like you, I am an odds player and don't like wasting a lot of resources on iffy roles.

Happy to continue as a 3 player
* As long as we have a healer, that is my only minimum requirement at any table I play.
* I feel we can play around any lack of stat or skill coverage.

Happy to restart
* Also happy to restart as that will give me more card upgrades :-)
* If we do, I think we should set a time limit e.g. 1 or 2 weeks, where we put things on hold to find a new player, if we don't find one we go back to the 3 player option as I do want to play out the whole season :-)

I'm happy on no avenge too. It wasn't really that vital to defeat the evidence (which is why I had continued my turn).

I'm fine with a three person game. Haven't played a three person game before and it may be a bit of a different playstyle. But also happy to find another person to join. I'm sure there are a few people out there willing to jump in.

I think 3 player is slightly less push to explore and keep a little more support, however I think 3 or 4 people are the sweet spot for the game
