This page will soon be updated for Pathfinder 2nd edition.
Attendance: This is a game, and thus supposed to be for fun. People are likely to miss a game from time to time. Skipping a session earns no experience points. However, since it doesn't always make sense to have characters zipping in and out of existence during the story, the DM reserves the right to use an absent player's PC in as limited a role as possible if necessary. If a character falls too far behind he or she might have to be retired and/or replaced. Since the campaign will often involve a number of alternates or satellite players, there will be an XP accrual system in place so that they're not left behind statistically. I will always attempt to set up game dates that all players can attend, but in some cases we might have to run with a partial group (with or without alternates). If there are last minute changes (usually within a week of a session) where one or more players have to cancel, we will still run, provided we have a minimum of three PCs.
Conduct: All the basic stuff. Please show up on time, or if not give us a good estimate of when you'll be able to arrive. Try not to speak over others, give everyone a chance at the table, even the DM for all his dialogue, description, and rulings. Pay attention as best possible, please keep the use of cell-phones (or web browsers) to a minimum outside emergencies or nerdy photo ops. Leave any hot topic discussions involving religion, politics, science or other contentious issues to the social media, I'd like to promote a friendly environment for escapism! Check in with the blog from time to time, a few minutes of reading to catch up with whatever you missed, or new information I've made available.
Death & Retirement: It's going to happen. When possible, make your deaths count, and make them magnificent! New characters will begin play at one level below the party average, so that they can remain in sight of the others in terms of power. If you wish to 'retire' a character instead, you'll be able to begin another at the beginning of the same level as the retiree. That said, in order to prevent a rotating door of retired characters, a player will only be able to exercise this option once/year IRL.
