Mykel isn't an evil clone.
You can tell because he doesn't have a goatee.
I'm close to getting the next scenario up (map and all is generated, I literally just have to get time to create the campaign) but I have struck out in getting a 6th from our former comrades...apparently Tapestry's Toil is a popular scenario.
Do you guys prefer that I recruit publicly or would you rather just stick with 5?

The preference would be slight either way, so I'd defer to anyone with a strong opinion.
The overarching idea is that I would prefer someone who's going to be a good fit for the rest of the series. If the people you approached were hesitant about Tapestry's Toil specifically, but considered hopping on for the rest of the series after that, I'd prefer to play with 5 and get someone in later. If people didn't show any excitement about the rest of the series, I'm up for trying to fill the spot by public recruitment.
Based on the people who drifted through at the beginning of this scenario, I think there's a lot of overlap between people I'd ask and people you (EbonFist) would ask. Still, I could poke around if that would be helpful.
After Tapestry's Toil is Hao Jin Hierophant.
We could always play Tapestry's Toil with 5 then bring Kioshi back in for Hao Jin Hierophant if he's interested in playing that one and doesn't want to burn a replay.
Tapestry's Toil is a go!
This one should be pretty entertaining, as it calls back to a couple of other scenarios that we've done previously (including one that's mentioned in the introduction.)

We definitely had this discussion before, but I can't find it. Based on the number of scenarios remaining, the higher-leveled were going to go slow. I don't remember the whole plan, only that Diazepane was scheduled to go slow at Level 9 (starting this coming scenario).
If things have changed, and the plan needs to be revisited, I'll do what needs to be done to stay in tier. I have a ninja 7 / swashbuckler 1 that could buy a little breathing room (she just needs to find Tancred Desimire and stab him in the face, and then she'll be available), or Ye Olde Mr. Bocke Reed could be back for a reprise at level 5. There are always pregens.
I'm not a fan of slow track, but that's just because I don't like the idea of slowing down my characters' progress. You guys can let me know you want to do it anytime, of course.
For planning purposes, I suspect we're ok for the 9th level characters. Including Tapestry's Toil, there are 3 more so...someone may have to slow track or swap characters for that as it's a full level.
The 7-11's may pose a problem though. There are 8 of them then the Ruby Phoenix Tournament Module so if your character hits 10th at the end of the 5-9 modules they would miss out on the last 2 scenarios and the module unless they were slow tracking.
I don't mind folks bringing in pre-gens or swapping characters, though. It might be cool to get some of the ones who have been around the most back for the module at the end, though so maybe stop them at 10.2.
Also...I wouldn't mind at all NOT doing every single adventure for this group of characters so we could pick and choose 5 of the 7-11 scenarios and then play the module with this group of characters or some subset of them and then I would loop back to pick up the ones unplayed and any players who wanted to bring other characters could.
And I didn't include Siege of Serpents in my count of what's left. It's a multi-table special so there's no way we can be sure that we can play it. I may try to get it into one of the online conventions.

Wow!! This has been an unbelievable journey! Congrats GM EbonFist!! :-D
So I have played the following scenarios:
Tapestry's Toil
Fragments of Antiquity
Elven Entanglement
Where Mammoths Dare Not Tread
Tapestry's Trial
I would absolutely reserve the following games and not play them anywhere else: :-D
Hao Jin Hierophant
Sundered Path
Pagoda of the Rat
Portal of the Sacred Rune
Sealed Gate
Serpent's Rise
Countdown to Round Mountain
The Ruby Phoenix Tournament
Serpent's Fall
Hmmm...Kioshi gave me an interesting idea.
I just made that spreadsheet editable and added a column or Reservations.
If everyone wants to go on and put their name in for any of the remaining scenarios that they want to play, we can see which ones can/should be skipped and which ones have the most interest.
Great idea! I included my information!
I included mine as well.
6-98 is a pregen scenario, and I'll need to play 3 with another character to end Diazepane at 11. I'll use a replay to play #10-13.
Bocke is the natural choice as the other character - he was part of the #10-00 and #6-18 crews way back when, and interacted with the ysoki and Round Mountain. He's 4.2 and locked right now, so would need to get to 7 before Pagoda of the Rat. This should be doable, since I'm GMing 3-7s and 5-9s these days, I'll just preferentially shunt credit towards him.
