Core Bonekeep Party

[MoffRimmer]

I think that we're good to schedule "The Devil We Know Part 1" (1-29).

Of course, the trouble with scheduling this around a bunch of DMs is that you're trying to schedule it around a time when there's nothing else that we'd rather DM or play... 

Not 100% sure what we're planning with Emerald Spire, but will probably need to schedule around that.  Michael (at least) wants to focus on Starfinder.  (Nice thing there is that you can (mostly?) schedule those two on the same day(s).)  And Richard and Hillary (most likely) want to keep up on their DMing.  And while you're busy keeping everyone happy, I could use a new car. 

Seriously though, scheduling all this is not easy and what you do is very much appreciated.

[Sir.Gryphon]

Do we want to do The Devil We Know Part 1 in December? I am making the schedule now!

[musclecarlover07]

That depends on David and Hillary. Not sure of her schedule.

[DavidPetik]

I am going to make if official. I will not be playing on Wednesday night until further notice. Sorry I will be leaving the group without a disable device roll. I wish you luck.

[DavidPetik]

I could start playing on every other Wednesday starting 21 March. Is it too late for my 6.2 level rouge too far behind the group to join back in?

[musclecarlover07]

You are like and 1xp behind us.

[Sir.Gryphon]

Welcome back David. If there is any scheduling changes I can make to help you catch up, just let me know.

[DavidPetik]

Here are the dates I should be able to play over the next 4 months.

April 4 & 18
May 2, 16 & 30
June 13 & 27
July 11 & 25

If we can schedule the Bone Keep group for any of those I will show up.

The confused half-elf friend rides again.

[musclecarlover07]

We will be skipping April do to other priorities. With the return of the confused half elf friend we will be looking to kicking things off with Cult of the Ebon destroyers. All I need is confirmation is from Bill.

It has been stated that it could take 10-12 hours to complete. Randy if we get confirmation from Bill we will most likely be needing 3 sessions for this one. As long as it stands May June July should be dedicated to the module (assuming me need that many sessions). Then we can hit bonekeep 1 and 2 in August and September. From there we haven't really discussed other than NO MORE MODULES. We did have intentions of doing the retirement arcs. For those I want a GM outside of the group. And would like to go through both. Might as well now with these characters.

I'm not sure what we're "confirming" from Bill...

If we don't want to do a Module for this one, I can find a couple of scenarios to do instead. I'm game either way.

[musclecarlover07]

My bad if it wasn't clear. But we need confirmation if you still want to do the module. You are the only one I haven't gotten a definitive answer. Everyone else is good to play it, just because of the amount of gold.

[MoffRimmer]

Interesting. I thought that I was the only one that was good to play the module.

Assuming we can schedule around everything else I'm committed to ("committed" being an appropriate word in this case), I'm good to go.

[musclecarlover07]

So after thinking it through and with my busy upcoming schedule within the Society, trying to knock out this module is going to be really difficult. So It everyone is ok with it, if we just play regular scenarios. If I recall both Bill and I were needing/wanting the extra coin from the scenario.

With that being said I was thinking that because majority of the Bonekeep group plays in Bills campaign we could alternate months with Bonekeep and Bill's campaign. Then with that we could potentially get Randy or Sean (if they are willing) to be our GM for that week.

Last thing for now, does everyone have interest in taking the core characters through either or both retirement arcs? If we can't get 100% on this then we won't look for a GM or pursue that.

[DavidPetik]

I am willing to play anything as long as it is on the Wednesdays I have off. That also goes for any games beyond Bone Keep.

[MoffRimmer]

I'm game for whatever the group decides.

I'm not 100% sure where the group is at with regard to XP. I think that we should be at 7th level. (Again, 19.5 XP is the ultimate "sweet spot" to be at when we start Bonekeep. If you go over that, you won't be able to do the 2nd one.)

If we can do a 7-11 tier scenario, the best loot options are...
2-18 The Forbidden Furnace of Forgotten Koor
2-26 The Mantis' Prey
3-26 Portal of the Sacred Rune

If we need to do a 5-9 tier scenario (to help others catch up...) the best loot options are...
2-06 The Heresy of Man, Part 1
1-31 Sniper in the Deep
3-14 Wonders in the Weave Part 2
