P2e - Threshold of Knowledge

@Digizel Just so you know, there's no requirement to play a caster in Threshold of Knowledge. Characters from any class are welcome to participate. The story is instigated on a premise of "these characters want to learn how to wield some kind of magic" but that's not required for any background (in fact, we'll need a balanced party).

Thanks for your opinions on the 48 hour response.

@Digizel Fantastic. I'll copy/paste the same spiel I just gave to another player who literally just expressed interest before you via PM:

If you're keen, go and familiarize yourself with the first post in the OOC to make sure you're okay with everything there. Feel free to ask me any questions here.

Mosey on over to pathbuilder2e.com and create a character sheet for yourself. In the "Details" tab, please include at least a few sentences of background. Right now, nothing is really off limits for character creation, so feel free to experiment.

Lastly, make sure to let me know if there's anything you wouldn't want to see portrayed in the game.

The current waitlist looks thusly:

1. @Cleveraptor
2. @apheline
3. @Digizel
4. @clanjos

EDITED to add Clanjos to the above.

By the way, to any lurkers, we're still open to anyone joining our wait list in case one or more of the opening 5 heroes drops out of the adventure.

@rush99999 Thanks for chiming in here. Just waiting on @Cao the Exiled.

Since we have buy in from 4/5 players, I'm going to institute it as a rule.

I'll move option two to our rules section in the first post:

Storyteller will post at least once every 2 days. Players will have 48 hours to respond.

Just curious @cleveraptor would you be amenable to this rule, should you be called to tap into the story and join the heroes?

P2e - Threshold of Knowledge

Alright, so three out of five players are on board and vote for option 2.

Since I'm keen to keep the story going, I'm good with option 2 as well.

Let's hear @rush99999 and @Cao the Exiled's opinions on the matter.

As a side note to all players:

@PatientBean@meri@rush99999@Frog Dog@Cao the Exiled

I was reading about the Pathfinder society (an official group by Paizo, the makers of Pathfinder) that they do Play by Post games officially on their message boards online. They're about to kick off a session and they mentioned timing specifically like this:

The Storyteller will post once a day, and players have about 24 hours to respond.

I don't know how everyone's schedules align, and just from watching engagement in the interest checker and here in the OOC, it may be too quick for players, but how would you feel about adopting a same or similar approach to ensure the game doesn't drag on?

Options:

1. Storyteller will post once a day. Players will have 24 hours to respond, or the story will move on without their character responding.
2. Storyteller will post at least once every 2 days. Players will have 48 hours to respond.
3. Storyteller will post at least once every 3 days. Players will have 72 hours to respond.

We don't have to go with any of these, by the way. We can do this organically instead, but with some kind of guard rails like these, it might stop the story from grinding to a halt if one person doesn't check RPG.

@rush99999 Thanks for that. We'll see what the future holds for this band of heroes!

@PatientBean Thank you! Looking forward to seeing your character in game being as sassy as you are. Relationship and love mysteries might not factor heavily into the plot of this adventure, but there's no reason the characters can't look for love either among each other or in the world around them!

@Cleveraptor Sounds good. Sit back and enjoy. We might tag you if someone drops out!

@rush99999 Alright, it sounds like this puzzle won't be like that at all, so we should be all set.

@Frog Dog Your turn!

P2e - Threshold of Knowledge

@rush99999 Thank you for that!

As far as puzzles go, this adventure does have one puzzle that has a hard cap on attempts made (so the characters don't sit there forever trying to solve it). Is that an amenable puzzle situation for you?

@PatientBean You're up!
