▷▷ THREAD-JACK IN OPERATION...

Right lads, looks like our interstellar adventures will be a go-er.

I'll be running the Dead Suns AP with the potential of side-quests/homebrew and such infiltrating proceedings.

Am envisaging a party of 5-6 PCs, and will initially recruit from here, then other games I'm in. Hopefully I'll fill the slots and avoid an open recruitment (but as such do need to know whose in and whose passing before I chum the waters elsewhere...)

As such can I just do a wee re-gauge of interest regards whose still game and what said parties are mulling to play?

My notion is to avoid racial/class overlaps if possible (multiples of same theme are fine). Core SF races only at present (as they are all shiny and new lol)

Am hoping to allow PCs of specific races to work with me set the bar and tone with racial idiosyncrasies etc. So keep that in mind as you mull your concepts.

Cheers

▷▷ THREAD-JACK COMPLETE

I'm in. Fortunately I have a long weekend ahead to review the character creation in the book, and come up with a concept. I'll throw something together, and see if it sticks or bounces.

Sure, count me in too.

So as not to clog up the Skipper's decks... anyone interested report here:

BLACK DOW's DEAD SUNS AP OOC

Scrap the above link. Dunno what's happened there.

Go with this instead:⯇GM-BD’s ΘF DISTΔNT STΔRS & DEΔD SUNS - Δ STΔRFINDER ΔDVENTURE PΔTH

Above is link to the campaign page. Gameplay thread is up and running for dot and delete. OOC is where we'll talk characters, concepts and pact-world building.

Skipper - you still thinking of joining the party? Was thinking of holding off extending the invites to other parties until the Freebooters play or pass, but I'll likely gauge some interest as I'll be running with a party of 6.

Campaign links go a bit haywire when you rename the campaign or the thread I think... or when you link it into a campaign... summat like that.

Aye think you're on the money there Dibbs - did a bunch of title reshuffling - so it's probably broken something!

Have no idea what that little feckin' white box is at the start of the title... Grrr

EDIT: Removed it! Delete! Delete! Delete!

It appears that I am smack dab in the middle of the hunting grounds of an angry Air Elemental named Irma, so if communication stops for a while be aware that I'm probably hiding in a hole somewhere, but will pop my head back out when it's safe.

Good luck!

Stay safe matey - batten down the hatches!

I got The Blight HC and damn, that is a TOME. My postal carrier deserved hazard pay for carrying that thing to my door.

For the purposes of moving the thread forward... Dibbets won't resist if the watchmen do decide that they need to beat him down with clubs to get him to come with. He'd stand stoic as he could, and try to rise if he falls... before being claimed by unconciousness.

Just a heads up lads that the gameplay thread in my Starfinder game is live (but still experiencing issues on players "dotting" and registering as in the game).

CharlesJ has been busy reinstating powerlines and systems for those caught up in the Hurricanes stateside, so might be mid week before he posts.

Two week business trip. Should be able to post most days, but might be spotty. Camping on 22nd through 26th, so AFK then.

Note: I had previously used Capt Whitemoon, but I've changed it to Moak for reasons which will be apparent.

So this mostly winds up Terror in Freeport. I don't think these gumshoe adventures are your favorite, but we made it through and Freeport is still .mostly. standing so Good Work : ).

Just doing a check-in to see how folks are enjoying. I think that we will have to sideline the Groom again. Everyone still liking their PCs? Any suggestions for upcoming types of adventure or places that you'd like to explore.

I do have something cued up for the continuing pursuit of Whitecoat, but wanted to see how folks were feeling.

I enjoyed it, but Jim's gotten a bit better at social niceties since the last one of these we tried. (This compensates for Kaul and Dingus getting...well, it compensates some.) Chasing Whitecoat is fine w/me, and maybe finally putting paid to "Stumpy."

ETA: At some point we should follow up that treasure trail, though lacking a trap finder might make it hard.

I also enjoyed it, just got a mite lost in all the different fractions and folk involved.

Still enjoying Ol' Kauly. Him and Dingus are pretty madcap and chaotically loose cannons so I do apologise if Kaul does your nut in sometime Skipper (and Jimmer/Dibbs). I do chuckle at the irony of "Madman" becoming the voice of reason in our (mis)adventures.

Trap Finding is something Kaul could invest in when we next "level" up so to speak... Any failed checks would still likely result in him lopping tho lol.

Showdown with "Stumpy" would be cool. Dinosaurs are always welcome. Dinosaur Sharks even more so. Snakefolk would be an interesting conundrum with Dingus in the ranks.

Aye, unfortunately I think that the Groom is gone again.

Dibbets is still enjoyable and enjoying himself. I'm thinking that we have enough enemies on the plate to try and maybe scratch one off of it... my half-person vote is for chasing down Mother Lorelei... or a related shenanigan.

Aye we should draw up a Kill List... Hur. Settle some old scores.

Dingus like Kaul got a bit lost with all the factions as well. It' much easier around the table to remind each other who is who... but Dingus lives about 90% of the time in his own world anyway, just checking on reality every now and then to check on his friends, so it works. I like Kaul's idea of making out a kill list, and approaching them one by one, though I'd have to do a lot of reading to remember them... unless somebody wants to post a summary before each mission.

Also, Dingus is of course very interested in exploring his roots with the Serpent folk and using that found power to further expand upon his interest in world domination, and rule.

Should we explore the possibility of adding a 4th player. Maybe someone else we've all played with and are comfortable with, or are we good with the current three?

I'd also like to start thinking about getting us all together for a weekend face-to-face game sometime in the coming year. I could host in FL, or travel. My sisters moving to Amsterdam so I have easy european travel, but for a weekend could travel about anywhere.

"So what are we going to do tonight, Dingus?"

very good. the upcoming adventure might hit a couple of those. Dingus- we DO have 4 players...

btw. I've had a grudge list under this icon for a while. click it and see if you want to add anyone else.

Trap Finding is something Kaul could invest in when we next "level" up so to speak... Any failed checks would still likely result in him lopping.

See item #8 on the loot sheet, please.

Good point about all the names getting confusing. I should have had a character list available.

Ah yes. The Loot Sheet... That old thing (ahem)...

Really need to get my $h1te together regards claiming of swag and actually recording & using it... My bad.

Apologies on my low profile this week shipmates - work's been brutal and dealing with pranging my car at the same time...

That'll distract you. Are you OK?

Yeah mate - was trying to be a considerate driver and give a delivery truck room on a narrow street. Ended up I'd pulled in tight to a old red post box... but as I pulled away the fat end of my SUV met cast iron antique city fixture lol. Rear left panel crumpled and left my car with lovely red streaks atop its paintwork...

Pride hurt and my wallet. Cost will be close to £1.5k to fix (insurance will cover most of it but still...)

Hey, Cap'n--is the lookout a refugee from your Iron Gods game?

Syncopit is pulled directly from the pages of a Freeport Supplement, but I can't say that I won't relish having a kobold NPC to play ; )

I foresee a lofty episode of Thunderdome taking place!

Apologies for the non-compos postis over the last wee while - been going through the motions of hopefully finally getting a job and the various thought cogitations and whatnot that ensue. Should hopefully ease out over the next bit though.

Nothing's set in stone yet, but there's chalkmarks down...

Opening the bakery? Sweetman's Sweet Breads is begging to happen... that or Dibbs' Dough.

Heh... not quite. I don't think early mornin starts are my thing :P

Dibbets' Delicatessen? Huh? Huh?
Good luck on the next gig.

If we were going to (which we're not) we'd call it 'Sweet and Rich'... because my wife's maiden last name is Richmond.

Perfect Name!

DO EEET!!! The portents are there mate... Just sayin'

Anyone else finding they're now having to log into Paizo every time they visit the site?

Yep. PITA!

yeah, suck, that's gonna make it harder to notice when some one has posted which btw I'm waiting on a course of action...

Yep. Extensive discussion over on Website Feedback, and I think the bug that's causing it is also why the Wayfinder app has stopped working for me.

It is with regret and sadness that I'm going to step away from these boards for a while. It's a combination of many things, and the frustration with the board performance just pushed me to do what needed doing. I've got some things that are taking a higher priority in life at the moment. It's been a real pleasure gaming with you all, and hopefully life will give an opportunity to share this hobby we all love in the future...

Best of luck to you, shipmate. You'll be missed--both here and IN SPAAAACE!

Dingus! Sorry to see you go. I totally understand needing to focus on real life though. You're welcome to come back anytime should you be drawn back to our little corner of madness in a wack world.

Aw Damn - Super-super sorry to see you go mate... Dingus is all kinds of crazy (in a good way) and loved riffing off him :(

Thanks for making me choke on my coffee and laugh-out-loud on numerous occasions.

Know how tough it can be to just step away and hope we'll sail these mad seas again.

Understood Dingus - and I'll echo the sentiments of the others. Has been a pleasure bobbing along beside, and you'll be welcome back in the mad house if you get the time / inkling that you'd like to be committed again.

So I suppose we should think about a recruitment. I say this with a slight sense of foreboding just because we've been blessed with a dependable, engaged, and fun group these six and a half years. But there are, of course, some great players out there that would be a welcome addition.

I'm leaning toward an open recruitment as that would give us a range of possibilities, but then a known dependable player is a huge plus as well. Timing ain't the best as we drift into the holiday doldrums and we're kinda mid-adventure. I suppose I'll bot Dingus to an exit point and think about where a reasonable entrance might be.

Yeah - I'm guessing you're right on all accounts Cap'n.

Likewise. I haven't thought of anyone offhand, but have been kind of distracted by the unreliability of the boards.
