Nae worries chief - no rush on the potential changes (if any) - they can be easily implemented at next level up also.
Enjoy your trip Retsijii, safe travels and lots of fun
Mostly back; just had to help my daughter move to a new apartment today.
Been there. Done that.
So I have to admit to having played through this somewhat recently in a home game. And while I try to keep the two games separate as best I can, and really try not to use player knowledge every I have to admit that my addled brain seems to have mixed up some of what I know between the two games. I am sorry for that and will really try to keep that to a minimum.
On the positive side the home game is changing up a lot of things and, as home games move much faster there is now considerable separation of events.
I thought I had recalled we spoke to Level 21. I guess it had to be in the other game. I am embarrassed.
No worries. I thought I missed something. There's a lot happening behind spoilers which makes the story hard to follow sometimes.
We met with them once just haven't been back yet, on a separate note.
Will be leaving on a family vacation next week. Will not have access during the cruise to update, so from this Sunday until next Sunday I will have no access to internet, please bot as needed to progress.
Apologies on the split screen scenes gang - was my first thought to allow the specific groups to infill each other on what's happening.
Can easily drop it as a storytelling device so allow complete player clarity (more than trust you lot not to meta-game)?
Hope everyone is enjoying the game - am going to try and kick up the pace a little, but we're deviating quite a bit from the AP at present but I'm enjoying running things.
yep, enjoying. I'd like to know what other folks think, but I'm for limited use of spoilers. I think it was fine in the Club to prevent out of character knowledge spurring intervention in the next room, but when we're in totally different sectors where we really can't interfere, I'm for just straight posting.
is Bendriss being referred to as a fixer?
I too would prefer not to use spoilers much and not split the party much. But it certainly made sense this time.
I appreciate all the detail you are adding with the messages and the like Galactic Master Black Dow. I know you are putting in a lot of work. Everyone is RPing well too and I feel a little slow with the character as I both learn the rules better and grow his personality.
I would be in favor of moving a little faster, but do not want that to cost anyone their enjoyment of the game. I am here for the long haul.
Cool - thanks for the input folks... I'll dispense with the split screen spoilers going forward unless we come across a similar situation like the Fusion Queen.
Once we're past this first chapter of the AP (which has been extended somewhat) then you'll be operating pretty exclusively as a singular group. Will try and up the ante a little - juggling a few things so am hoping to get back on track over the next few days.
Cheers for the input - from my pov everyone's doing a standup job and defining new races and classes well. Appreciate the effort :)

Bedriss was the fixer Ed, if I remember correctly.
ditto the other comments GM, non spoilers are good for me as well when groups are spread out.
and the amount of background work you're doing making up the bulletins and such, kudos
Yeah love all the detail and the urls with pictures etc. Really enjoying all aspects so far.
I do need to dive back into the handbooks and may rework Paeon a bit with our level up once i do some more reading.
Let me know if this looks correct-

Looks good to me.
Yup looks good to me also.
Universal Polymer Base or UPB is the basis for most technology in the Pact Worlds, the Veskarium, and many other systems. Each UPB is a tiny multifunction component, not much larger than a grain of rice, capable of being configured to act as a brace, capacitor, circuit, diode, fastener, insulator, lens, modulator, pipe, resistor, and dozens of other constituent parts. UPBs can even be spun out into fabric, broken down into component chemicals, reconstituted into new chemicals, or supplemented with base materials (such as dirt or sand) to form massive braces or walls. The right combination of hundreds or even thousands of UPBs can create everything from a comm unit to a laser weapon to powered armor. In their raw form, UPBs have a bulk of 1 per 1,000 UPBs, though when aligned and configured they can easily take up less bulk, and when configured for a specific purpose that calls for a minimum size and bracing (possibly combining them with inert materials), they can have a higher bulk.
They can be used in repairing equipment that is broken (but not destroyed) - Engineering/Mysticism DC is dependent on the complexity of the item. If it is broken but not destroyed, you must spend 10 UPBs per item level each time you attempt to repair it. UPBs can also be utilised to repair damage sustained by ships.
UPBs are so ubiquitous that they are usable as currency in many major settlements and trade hubs. While credsticks are a more convenient and secure way to carry value, UPBs have the advantage of direct utility and untraceability. They are a popular way to pay smugglers and criminals, but they are also useful for trade missions to systems with UPB technology that don’t use credits as currency. The value of the Pact World's credit is based on the economic utility of a single UPB.
Price of 1 UPB = 1 credit.
Noah could use the backpack. I recommend we sell that injection glove unless its part of the deal with the drugs.
Its not part of the deal unless you want it to be. Injection Gloves are likely used more by medics rather than pushers etc.
That is what I was thinking.
I suggest we keep the UPBs then. They sound really handy.
Noah can play caddy for party gear if he's holding the bag ; )

Is Shadowine considered drugs or trade goods?
10 Strength is why I need the backpack...
Trade goods Ed - merely dark elf produced wine. Starfinder's would likely serve it at functions for dignitaries etc.
Consider it sold unless any of you lot want to hang onto a bottle or two?
For the record we'll presume that the drugs are off station and arriving at King Curney's with the Dealing Duo.
So what is the go forward? Noah asks. Gear up as best we can and then what? I wouldn't mind checking out that rock...
Yikes! Sorry.
Haha - no worries mate, easy done :)
So throwing drow shadowine in goods is final total = 2,717.4
do we want to weight this somehow for folks that got less gear or divide equally? I got the big ticket item so far with the pistol (that really doesn't sound more expensive than an artillery laser, but tech?)

I'd advise just a straight split - I'm not a GM who'll typically short change players, so if something is majorly lacking in say gear or items I'll try and fill that void for the PC(s) in question.
If we find that characters are getting the lions share and plenty o' cred I'll adjust future loot accordingly or we can revisit.
Alright, forgot I was gonna throw my old gun into the salvage:
2717.4 CR+(250*.2)/6= 461.2 CR each
Vacation time! Be back 7/5.
No worries - work is currently slamming the crap out of me so might be closer to the end of the week before I can update - apologies all.
Hoping to take some vacation time soon so will kick this into gear should that come to pass.
Cheers
Hi guys, going up to a cottage for a week and I'm unsure about how much connectivity I'll have, so please bot as needed.

Sorry gang - work has left me properly burned out at the moment. I've a day off tomorrow so will prioritise getting some posts up and kicking things into gear.
Hi Guys,
Recent events have had me re-evaluating my commitment to the games I'm currently involved with here on these boards.
As you've probably noticed I've had a few noticable absenses this summer, again due to the fact I've become quite
a bit more busy, usually leading to a rushed decision late at night...do I logon and get some posts in?
Ultimately, it began to feel more like a job than a hobby...<< I have to get a post in...don't want to hold the game up >>
It slowly dawned on me that I just wasn't looking forward to posting, even though I enjoy each of the games I'm in immensely.
When something you enjoy becomes something you don't, it's time to re-evaluate.
Though it's a hard decision, I've decided to take a hiatus from the boards.
Apologies to players and GMs leaving you in the lurch, so to say.
Extra thanks to GMs for allowing me in to your games.
Happy gaming and take care, Al.
@Al/Spaz: Know its never an easy decision and appreciate your honestly and your input into the games we've shared. We've collaborated in some great story telling in the past and hope to do so again mate - as such you'll always have a place at my virtual table.
Take care and see you down the line.
BD/Gary
Anyone else starting to get massively p***ed off with the site's constant dropping out of late?
I spent an hour trying to get additional material posted for this game last night before it dropped out completely. Not a happy chappy.
Yeah, losing a big post sux. Better to just avoid the boards when they're in flux or go camping which is what I'll be up to this weekend.
Yep. I think its finally over, but it lasted most of the week!
Glad to see the boards are up (again) - am not convinced it'll stay this way, a month of creaking stability has not left a good mark upon me.
I'm mulling moving this game to another venue - Myth Weavers, Obsidian Portal or Roll D20 being those off the cuff that have merit.
Not a given, but I'm exploring possibilities if (when) the boards melt down again.
Would anyone be hugely opposed to this - bottom line I'm running the game for you stellar lot, so not about to move house without my lodgers :)
If things get better here I’d rather not move. That said I play on Roll 20 a lot. But all real time games.
Paizo has been really messed up lately, but I'd still prefer to keep all my games in one place.
I'm indifferent
If the system continues to crash I'm up for a venue change as it's hard to keep things going in a campaign taking a week or 4 days off at a time.
Okay so general consensus is we stay put... for the time being.
I appreciate the input and ideally would also stay put, know from the official feedback in some of the website threads, suggestion is we might experience some issues for a short time as everything gets ironed out.
Am accepting of that, but if we have frequent drop offs like the last 14 days (and spotty connecting since early August) then I'll definitely revisit.
Right... let's get this show on the road :)
Narggg. They still can't keep the site up.
I'm against moving, but only b/c I don't think Roll20 or any of the others work well on a phone--since that's my only means of game access during the work day, I'm stuck with Paizo or PbEM.
Yeah my push forward was a kiss of death...
SIte gods willing I'll get a game post in today.
Like I said we'll stay put and see if we can weather the storm - however if this becomes their modus operandi then I'll me pitching up somewhere else.
I am back from Dragoncon and wanted to report in. I hope the site is now stable and we can get back to our game. :)
I am still here - system changes at work meant my notes weren't accessible, but I wangled a work around and hope (this time) to get a post up...
Appreciate the patience
