[5E] [OOC] JM's A Bit of Trouble (Closed)

I say try to open recruitment again, but I'm okay with any route you pursue.

I would say open recruitment again and carry on for now with Everet and Perin, once Perin gets his pet, that'll help - it might mean that I adjust his planned build slightly. I know [MENTION=6814006]Thateous[/MENTION] is dependable, I like to think that I am, though starting work again is proving time consuming.

PbP is a horrible beast in terms of retention, but I don't like letting things peter out.

Agreed. Even I'm starting to fizzle a bit, but this is my only outlet for D&D, so I couldn't give it up.

RECRUITING Once Again

Hi, game started and petered out. The IC and RG threads have some background material. The PCs have discovered a problem in a town outside of Bit and are probably headed that way. So new characters should be easy to work in.

Everett and Perin are the PCs who are still around. So check them out in the RG thread[/thread] if you want to avoid duplicating classes.

I've had a game drop and now have the time to join if you'll have me.

Will have something worked up by the end of the day.

Sounds good, EB.

[/sblock]

Looks good with a brief look. If you read the chargen you know I wanted folks to know one another so that "made friends" background could be one of the party members. Look them up in the RG to see who fits.

Does it have to be a current player's character or maybe I was called in to replace someone who can't make the trip to Leed's Crossing.

The send for my character, and he takes their place? Hmmm have full background MON

Going to Leed's is completely ad hoc. There was no plan to go there. There were rumors and now the rumors imply something nefarious. And everyone seems to have just arrived in town for the festival without any kind of recent links to outside folks. Everett is related to someone in Leed's Crossing and has discovered something bad must have happened and that's why his cousin is not here in Bit.

And there is a time constraint. OTOH, they could just meet you on the road to Leeds.
