In case it wasn't clear in that huge essay with which I launched
Master of Combat that I doubt many people have read all the way through, a player can control more than one hero in a scenario. He can even control all of them and play like an SRPG. Of course it's $50/hero, but the three of you already have one due to your sub. So if one of you buys a second, the team is full. And you will need more heroes if you plan to have any significant impact in the strategy layer.
Plus any hero that starts 6 months before the current timeline, will get 180 turns to play immediately, which is a massive bonus. If you have 2 heroes you can get quite a lot done! Could send them to explore in different directions on Golarion, could form your own 2-man party with them for safer exploration (more on which soon), or they could start a 2-man business or 2 businesses, or even a faction (more on which, again, soon).
Just sayin'. Not saying anyone here is interested in strategy. I am just explaining how it works.
In any case, Rory says shubn and Jameson were saying on
SC stream tonight that they might want to join, so it might not be an issue. But there will be many more scenarios after this one (and maybe
before lol), so it's good to know how things work. If you have 2 heroes, you can even play in 2 scenarios simultaneously.
To sign up for a second hero, all you have to do is post in the thread that you want another one.
Also, to sign up a friend for a scenario, all you have to do is post and say so, and the slot is his.
People can also change their minds and withdraw from a scenario, again by posting in the thread and saying so. You can withdraw at any time before the team is full, but you can also withdraw after. Don't need to give a reason if you don't want to. Just say guys I am withdrawing.
I know things don't look so good right now because there doesn't seem to be much excitement for
MoC and
MoH, but I think when people see the whole thing running in front of their eyes, they'll be mesmerized. I am so excited by the vision, I can barely sleep, and I am working day and night on it. Just "hold the line" as Chris Roberts says, and we'll make the dream reality.
