Discussion thread.
Please share:
1) Character Name
2) Ancestry and Class
3) Perception Bonus
4) Any additional Initiative bonus, or other passive modifiers to how things work (Dubious Knowledge?)
5) Preferred Exploration Activity
6) Have you played/GMed/read this before?
7) Anything I forgot to ask?
In the event that a player is expected for more than 24 hours in combat or another situation where we're waiting on that person, I may bot you. I will not use any consumable resources unless asked. If you'd like to share some bot instructions, great!
On the Slides (also linked in the header), you'll find space to add your character information and token and to set a general marching order.
There's some information for you there, too.

1) Character Name: Quinthalas Rath
2) Ancestry and Class: Half-elf (Cavern) Sorceror (Imperial) 1
3) Perception Bonus +4
4) Initiative bonus 0
5) Preferred Exploration Activity: Detect Magic
6) Have you played/GMed/read this before? No
7) Anything I forgot to ask? Do you want a Pathbuilder link? Faction? School (Swords/Scrolls/Spells)?
People put a character sheet in their profile. Often text, but a link to another sheet would work as well.
I only really need to know what faction you're representing for reporting, and that's already in RPG Chronicles.
You don't get school items in Bounties. The idea is this is a job the characters picked up between Society missions. The story doesn't assume the characters are Pathfinders at all, though of course most PFS PCs will have already established that.
This particular Bounty has a bit that might be too easy if people have heard it before (or too hard if those people step back and leave only one or two to think about it). That's why I bolded that question--it's unusually important so that I can evaluate if I need to change something up a little.
(You'll know exactly what I'm referring to when you see it.)
Right here. Go ahead and switch over to the "Gameplay" tab at the top of the thread (or just click that link) and dot in or introduce your character. That'll add the game to your campaigns screen under you profile.

1 Glyph = GM of 10 games
2 Glyph = GM of 30 games
3 Glyph = GM of 60 games
4 Glyph = GM of 100 games
With the exception of Bounties, in which GM can make their own decision, a player who also has Glyphs can distribute additional Hero Points to his fellow players.
It is another little incentive to GM.

Sometimes GMs roll saves for PCs for expedience, especially if they need to know what happened to resolve or decide the next thing. You really can't do the same thing for enemies, though, since you don't know their bonus.
That's the spoiler tag. You can probably guess their original purpose from the name, but their very useful for a variety of things, so many forums that use them let you change the name of the box.

So, I was dabbling with the different [things] you can do to change text and I realized that the roll I got in the preview was the same roll I got in the final post.
Is that expected? a random thing? Because if so:
1) It can really lead into cheating out of bad rolls. =/
2) Can help you roleplay whatever happens since you already know more or less the result of your action.
I'm intrigued about this.

Well, you can kinda cheat -- however, the dice bot stores your result for 24h so you're pretty much stuck with that. However, some players try to get around it. Bear in mind, however, that attempts to cheat could get you banned so you'll need to consider if it's worth it...

It's expected. Its so you can't edit your post and dodge bad rolls etc. If you wanted to cheat you could mess around with order of rolls, but A. don't cheat and B. it's generally pretty obvious.
It's super handy for writing posts though. I generally preview and then potentially change my writing based on how good my roll looked, or decide to use a hero point etc.

C. Do you really want to ruin the experience for yourself -- i.e. to the point where nobody wants to play with you.

Honestly, messing with the order of rolls accidentally has thrown me off.
Oh, that's a bad roll. I have a Hero Point, let's use it! ...and I need to remember that any new rolls have to go at the bottom. Putting them between other rolls throws everything off.
Please take this opportunity to double check RPG Chronicles and make sure everything there looks right.
Basically! Technically you haven't met your objective yet since you have to return the box for that, but you've acquired it and you've completed the last challenge/encounter.
In my (somewhat limited) experience with real-time PFS games, the GM tends to read through wrapup without the players saying much, because you've all been sitting for hours and might be running up against the end of an available time slot.
In pbp we have all the time in the world. Talk and roleplay as long as you like. I usually mark the game inactive after ask threads have been silent for a week.
At the sand time, I don't want to tie your characters up indefinitely. I'll get the bookkeeping done once encounters and objectives are complete.
And now we're done, though feel free to do wrap-up roleplay as long as you like.
I would be reporting the game and sending out Chronicles right now, but it appears RPGChronicles is down for maintenance at the moment. I have to go to be soon so that'll probably have to wait until tomorrow night. It'll be dated today, if it matters.
A Bounty grants 1 XP, 1 Reputation in your chosen faction, and at level one 4 gp.
I seem to recall we had some new players in this game. Hope you had/are having fun! If you have any questions about what any of that ^ means, feel free.
