There is nothing except the in-context dangers stopping PCs from attempting a journey to Lookout Rock ahead of time, by the way, if anyone wants to get there first for any reason. But on Friday, I'll check the results of this scheduler and schedule an RPT to be the time that Ex-Captain Paldeo takes his newly-acquired Minnow out on a more official sort of expedition.
Note: I'm specifically planning this time to be more friendly to GMT-based players, since our past several RPTs have been impossibly-late for this section of the playerbase. And yeah it is an exceedingly small playerbase in alpha right now, and true that the majority of players tend to play at PST sorts of times, but our initial plan regarding RPT timings was that we would try to plan these events at various different times in order to accommodate people regardless of timezones. Part of alpha testing is to test out how our vision is going to work, practically-speaking. So, I hope people who want to be there can make it! This event does not have any combat (at least, not intended combat, though players might always dynamically start something) ... and the pacing should be forgiving.
