No kidding. My wife and I once drove from Illinois to California with two dogs and a cat in the back seat to keep it interesting. It's a lot of miles all at once though - pace yourself and safe journey!

@Abe Oh wow!

Moving is exciting! It takes a while to get settled in and make the place feel like "home" but what an adventure! (The first couple weeks of sleeping in a new house always feels odd to me.) I'm excited for you :D New place, new memories

I think I read somewhere that you can change roles- but only at the start of a turn- so that someone doesn't do two actions in one round.
Since we are PBP, that's a bit hard to declare in advance of the round (well not really).

While I give it to the GM to make the determination. I also know that as a GM I wouldn't allow ABE's actions. The fact that we lost initiative and they have the tactical advantage to swoop in- I picture that they are moving and firing too fast for ABE to switch chairs and rebuff the concentrated attack on our shields.
Now, if we won initiative and intentionally moved INTO this disadvantaged position then my opinion changes as ABE might have been in concert with the pilot's tactics.


Oh, totally right. Sorry, I missed that. Under actions (link) it does clearly state the change must be prior to the round, not during. So Abe will stay where he is and I'll repost my action shortly. :)

Ahhh, rules. You harsh mistress!

Abe, maybe you should stay on Engineering and Dash will prepare now to switch to Science and balance shields next round?

While it does want role changes to be at the beginning of the round, that can be quite difficult to do due to the nature of PbP. To try and streamline the Starship combat I am fine with posting your change in your next post as Abe did. Have been doing it this way in Starfnder Society for a short while and it doesn't seem to cause any issues with multiple actions.

A couple of reasons for this. There really is no initiative in Starship combat. The piloting checks are just to see which ship moves first to set up blocks and don't in any way affect the rest of the crew.

Starship combat actions all happen simultaneously. For example in the gunnery phase, say you were to obliterate a ship during your gunnery actions. The destroyed ship would still get to fire back before it goes away.

I am attempting to streamline the Starship combat to be more about the roleplay rather than so much on the rules as written that work better on a face-to-face table, which has been a bit difficult here in the beginning as we all are still learning it.

Loot divvy. perfectly fine!


The web site is cut off on the right side of the screen, occasionally, on Paizo. There's a thread (link) which I've posted in outlining the problem. Hopefully Paizo can do something - this is a recent development, but it makes it really hard to understand what's going on from the phone.

Zane has extra money if other players need to borrow credits for a slightly larger purchase. He has 5K.
I already went shopping and didn't find anything. I need far more to get the sword or armor or MK II Augmentation that would best fit Zane. All are at 6K.

I basically can't see the right half of the screen and I can't zoom out so I can't push preview, cancel, or submit post.

I have the LG G4 but I think I'm getting the Pixel 2 on the Google plan. My phone's battery is shot and it's having overheating issues. I listen to YouTube for 30 minutes and it's gone from 100% to dead, lol. The only thing I'm going to miss is my LG G4 has the hardware so that I can use my phone as a remote for a ton of different devices. I have everything in the house setup on it XD Lost the tv remote? Use the phone!

@ GM- I may have missed a plot hook. I actually try to read each PBP twice, and write notes just so I don't miss things or I keep them in mind for future... but at this point, I don't know the future path.
As a PC, we know the undead Airforce took info just before we arrived and deleted the location of where the cultists went. We blew up undead, but didn't determine where THEY were headed. We just went to Absalom, and I'm assuming the other PC's picked up on a plot hook that leads them here. If Zane wasn't Zane, he would have gone to the pirates and seen if they have tracked any undead ships.

In character, Zane is just intent on spreading his name and reputation far and wide. Stories upon stories of Acid Baths and how many likes on the message boards that he gets, this place is perfect.
He also makes certain to make and mail those T-shirts to Draka's fans that answered the trivia correctly. I can roleplay his shennanigans if others are shopping and we are looking for RP filler.

Dash gave the order to head to Absalom Station, but I wasn’t really thinking about where we really needed to go next.

Like Dash, I feel trying to figure out the 'right' purchases in Starfinder is much more difficult than in PF.

Will prob buy another bigger stat bump and some armor slot upgrades.


Zane enjoys the presence of his friends

The System seems straight forward for Soldiers or "Fighter types" I would think there'd be a lot of purchase options for mystics.

I'm okay with SF and it's structure so far- but of course I did play a fighter type for simplicity as I was just jumping into the story mid-way.

I think that's about the best I can do. Thermal Capacitor armor dealie plus his other one will give Vetch Resist 5 Elec/Cold/Fire. Is that good or not? I have no idea. But I'm going with it.

Seems each personal upgrade has to apply to a different stat as well. So your +4 could go to Dex but the +2 would have to go towards a different Stat.

Energy resistance is always good. Fire would be useful against taking damage from lasers. Cold from cryo weapons. As every weapons here is dealt with an element.

I can’t wait for 85 again. :). Our average has been 119 here during the day. It was 97 at 4 am this morning when I went for a run.

That sounds absolutely terrible. It only got to about 95 today so I guess I'm complaining for nothing. 119 what?! That's crazy!

Nice! I’ve heard that song before and didn’t know it was Foster the People. Going to download.

Personally, I’ve been revisiting the 80’s. Duran Duran - Lonely in Your Nightmare, The Chauffer, Union of the Snake, etc.

INXS might be next. Kick was one of the first albums I would listen to start to finish.

Does anyone in the party have a talent for diplomacy or are did we all spec into intimidation? XD Haha, what a reputation we're building


Android | EAC 27 KAC 28 | STA 86 HP 57 RES 11/11 | F +5 R +10 W +7 | Initiative +12 | Perc. +10 | Sense Motive +1

Dash has diplomacy, but it’s a route of last resort. He’d just rather bluff or bully his way across the galaxy.


Zane enjoys the presence of his friends

Zane has some average diplomacy also. More like "support" Diplomacy. I plan on building it up more and more. But Eox is a different ballgame. Zane's not going to use diplomacy, he's a bit upset right now and diplomacy is the last thing on his mind.

Plus, your intimidation check was OFF THE CHARTS! I laughed at my mental picture of you basically making dead people quake in their boots and run for cover. Dash , with legs propped up, promising that the best he can do is "maybe" keep you from rampaging.
Sort of like Al Pacino in Scarface. That fearsome force of nature.
I laughed and laughed at my computer.....

Draka, I wanted to give you props for the prior post. Great thinking about putting Shan on the vid. Plus the part about him being a poor tipper made me laugh and (pseudo) snort milk out my nose.
Nice RP.

Also holy crap the Armory book finally dropped. This thing added in hundreds of more weapons, some neat looking living alien ones, armor and a ton of magic items as well as enhancements.

Definitely worth the peek.

Hey Draka -- I think you have a Charge Attack that you can do. You may want to attack twice.
Charge Attack (Ex)
As a standard action, charge and substitute bull rush for normal attack. With onslaught, can attack twice on a charge, at -4.


Neutral Vesk Solider/9

I'm not sure if Draka can charge with the tree in the way? She'd have to run at a curve. DM?

Dark Archive

Tyrant's Grasp | | Age of Ashes | | Dead Suns | | ◆ | ◆◆ | ◆◆◆ | ◇ ◈ | ↺ | ★

That is the house and charging has to still be in a straight, unhindered path.


Neutral Vesk Solider/9

Yeah, so she can run a great distance but can't attack because it wasn't a straight path (I think)


Zane enjoys the presence of his friends

Great spell Dash! Very nicely played out the XYZ motif! ~ I love it.
That spell and decision was also a character save and bottlecap worthy- considering the crit the thing made on the illusion.

As for ABE, how on earth is he upset about Zane getting his butt handed to him and still standing. If the dang thing didn't heal from the bleed damage -- we could all just run away and come back when it was dead from blood loss. That was the Zane's plan after he crushed it with his sword.
All in all, I like this combat a lot the way it is. This creature is really cool and fierce. Makes me shake in my boots. If I didn't make a couple tough saves, Zane is radiation poisoned, soul sucked, and gore-gutted in 2+ rounds.

Hehe this is a very dangerous fight indeed.


lol. Abe doesn't want to be in combat. He see's Zane getting hit, but that's Zane's job! :)

To be clear, I the player am impressed you're still standing and I bear you NO ill will. I'd have run away before you did, after the first hit, and further... As in fact I just did.


Zane enjoys the presence of his friends

All good ABE! I just wanted to make certain we had the same visual images. I totally get that ABE doesn't want in the toe to toe fight. Zane is the meatshield after all. He's got good DR abilities and is designed to be it's target.
Zane is just sensative to "disapproving" emotions because of his ego. So I want to know that we are both getting the same visual picture of the battle -which we are.

I have downloaded and been working my way through the Pathfinder 2.0 Playtest rulebook. It all seems pretty straight forward. Herolab Online has already added the rulebook for character generation. I am thinking of running the 7 part Doomsday Dawn book if anyone is interested.

It is 7 shorter parts that tie together. It starts at level 1 then hops to 4, 7, 9, 12, 14 then 17th level for the finale.

The rules seem to be about 85% the same after doing to passes through it. Character generation is quite a bit different and it looks as if they added in the whole Bottlecap case in with Hero Points.

Anyone care to join and try to learn this crazy new world?
