Game Master S's "Scoured Stars Invasion" [Tier 3-4] (Inactive)

Game Master Chris Marsh

Welcome to my Play-by-Post!

Here's the ctrl+P for all my games:

1. I've been running games since the late 1980s, I've seen a lot of editions. I started playing PFS with Slot 1 Season 0 at Gen Con. I'm solid with the Starfinder rules, but everyone makes mistakes. I'll try to be as fair as possible.

2. I'm a Venture-Lieutenant online, but also in Southern NH. If you're ever in the area, or you need help finding games/conventions there. PM me.

3. I post with a high rate of frequency. That being said, if you guys can post 2-3 times per day, awesome. If it's only 1/day I understand. No worries. Real Life Comes First (tm).

4. Feel free to preemptively roll Perception, Disable Device, etc. It makes the game run more efficiently. I ask only that you make sure minis are placed in their actual position in case your choices have consequences (good or bad.)

5. Let's get started:
Player Name:

PC Name:

PFS#:

Faction:

Day Job: Feel free to roll now.

Perception and vision/senses:
Initiative:

Notes: Anything I should know; passive abilities, boons that are way out there, etc. If you have abilities that are immediate actions that interrupt an enemy, I'll be as fair as possible, but you can help me out by telling me under what conditions you typically use it.

Slotted Boons: You may want to wait and do this in a separate post, as you can slot boons after getting the mission briefing.

You know what, I don't think Honorbound allies is used here, so lets go for Envar's attention as well. See if he watches us on the info sphere and sends up some updated selfies.

#EnvarForTheWin

Hawthorne makes a good Engineer/Science Officer, a mediocre Gunner, a fair Pilot, and a poor Captain.

Gunnz makes an excellent pilot (+14 plus ship and computer bonuses) and a fair gunner (+7 and possible computer bonus). Her preferred role is definitely pilot.

Max makes an excellent Captain (+10), Solid Engineer (+7) or Solid Science officer (+7)

I am a decent gunner (+6) and an okay science officer (+6)

I prefer either science officer or engineer. both skills are at +12.
+7 to guns if needed there.

I propose the following ship load out:

Xo (Captain) +10 Diplomacy
Gunnz (Pilot) +14 Pilot
0689 (Engineer) +12 Engineering
Hawthorne (Science Officer, Swing Engineer, Swing Gunner) +11/+11/+6
Medrik (Dedicated Gunner) +6
Buff Bot (Swing Engineer, Swing Gunner) +7/+4

I second Hawthorne's load out.

Loadout seems fine with me. Max can also be a swing Science officer since Hawthorne is a better gunner than Max.

souns good.

That setup works for me.

Just a quick heads up. Starting Friday 17-Aug until Tuesday 21-Aug my internet connection is going to be spotty. I expect to get in a morning and an evening post, but likely only that.

I'm apparently on Paizo Outage Standard Time. Every time I try to catch up it's Goblins or Ysoki in the machine! Getting caught up now...

I'm with you Buff-Bot 9000.

The goblins and ysoki are reeking havoc on my abilities to post. :-(

Sorry everyone. My reduced access this weekend was exacerbated by the spotty stability of the paizo site.

I hear ya!

Ready when you are.

Likewise

I'll reach out to Xochtl, for now, given the circumstances, I don't mind someone botting him.

Seems every time I log on the site is down!

I'm here...trying to get caught up now. Sorry for being out of touch. :-(

Edit: Thank you for botting me.

No apologies needed!

I'm about to jump on a plane. I may get one more post in, but you'll be down to botting me.

In same ways if you end up in a starfight that will be handy for the GM as you can do Gunnz pilot check for initiative at the same time as the baddies.

Standard botting instructions
Starship combat: Pilot (base+14, +2 for ship, and extra +2 for her dedicated node) - general tactic will be evade or a flypast if they move right in front of us.

Regular combat: Trick shot (+18, DC=20+CR of creature)
Attack +7 vs EAC -0 hopefuly flatfooted from trick attack.
Damage 1d6+1 (electricity)
Bous trick attack damage 1d8

Not in combat: Make a smart-alex comment :-)

I have not played 1-13.

Much to my dismay, I have yet to play it. I have been watching for it to be played on the boards and I have not seen offered once. Not even part of Gameday.

I've only played the early games. Need to get caught up but my home group has played a lot of the intervening ones. Need to find offerings on the board of... basically everything after Solar Sortie.

I'm guilty on that. I am running Dead Suns, and ran up through Solar Sortie, but my PbP bandwidth has been taken up.

GM only

Enemy shields are 6 on all facings and hull points 36 as part of the effort to get back on time.

Got an Aid Token coming in hot! (No current boosts)

Sorry for being MIA yesterday. On top of work beating me to a pulp, found out some trouble news about my grandfather.

Working on getting caught back up this evening.

Like I said, I'll give you guys first dibs on a table. I'm happy to run 01-13 On the Trail of History or 01-15 save the Renkrodas for anyone interested.

I would be down for both. Have not played either.

I would love to play 1-13, but Medrick is signed up for a different game for part 2 of gameday. If that turns out to be the game you are offering, I can check to see if his other game has anyone on waitlist.

I haven't actually offered up a Game Day session 2 game yet. It used to not matter, but things are far more official now.

Gah! I'm way overbooked for session 2 but REALLY want to play in those...

Anyhow, I'm a little less comfortable botting Gunnz in combat on the ground where character death is a possibility... Given the date since last post I'm wondering if we should just consider her a drop?

I'll PM, though I'd be surprised if Aerondor were GONE. I don't fault you for not wanting to bot at all though. Lemme see what I can do.

I would be interested in either scenario, although Hawthorne will be 5th after this special, and I don't think I'll have any 3s yet (lots of 2s and change), if that affects anything.

Xochtl, can you fill in your SFS info?

There, botted Gunnz via copycat.

Sorry, thought I'd already done that.

I would be very interested in joining one of those games, but I don't know that I'll have the bandwidth. Aside from work issues that have popped up, I'm going to be going out of state with minimal internet access for a week in October.

I will go ahead and roll my day job now.
