Starfinder Gameday 6: Quest: Into the Unknown (Inactive)

Game Master Redelia

Here is our discussion thread. I will be asking you for your info for the chronicles later. Feel free to post any questions or comments here.

dotted and deleted... this is a quest with pregens or with our own characters? if pregens, where can we see a list of available characters?

I will be traveling from Saturday morning until Weds. night (driving up north to see the eclipse). I will try to check in at least once a day, but if I miss a post time, please feel free to bot me to keep the flow going. I don't want to hold up the game.

The adventure states you can use pregens or your own characters. Since we're all learning the rules together, pregens may not be a bad idea, but that's up to each of you to decide.

We start in a few days, so it's probably time to start talking about what characters you guys are planning to bring.

I can certainly go with a pregen, since I'd like to apply credit to my -702 which still hasn't been built. I'm open to any of the options, so I can go with any role.
But I'd like to try the operative if it's not anyone's first pick.

I'm currently attempting to create a character, but some of the rules are still confusing me a bit. I think I've got about 50% of a character set up, though? c: But if she's not ready in time, I'll happily play a pre-gen. ^o^

Introducing Miya~

I'm in the same boat. I'm still working on a first character.

For now, I'll play Iseph, the pregen android operative, if that's okay.

I am almost done with a rat pilot (operative, it looks like). Could also go the mechanic route, or an envoy.

Will try to post details tonight.

I got to play at Gen Con and haev been looking over the rules since! I think I'll have my own Envoy ready soon!

Name: Cindy
Character: Elektra Globes
PFS#: 57894-701
Faction: Wayfinders
Profession (Exotic Dance): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28 = 56 credits!

Name: PJP
Character: Yippee
PFS#: 150786-701
Faction: Wayfinders
Profession (Smuggler): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17 = 34 credits

Sounds as though Yippee's got my corner covered. I think I'll withdraw. Thank you for the opportunity.

I hadn't looked at the pregens - does one eliminate the need for the other? I would have thought operative was a pretty broad class from the looks of it.

I just realized I listed the wrong faction for my character sorry! Should be acquisatives!

I believe that you can have several 'copies' of the same pregen at one table. I'll play Obozaya, it seems we will be lacking a bit on the front side department.

Guys, please dot and delete from the gameplay thread with your actual alias, if possible. I would like to clean up the list of players.

I once again have an open slot in my Starfinder Quests game. Slot goes to the first player to check in here

I think I may be the first to check in. I would love to join in with Sarangari here if I can.

so far:
JAF0, unknown (please set up alias, dot and delete from gameplay with alias, and then give info for chronicle here)
KhaozKnight, Obozaya pregen, soldier (please make alias, dot and delete from gameplay, and then post info for chronicle here)
hiyami, Miya, mystic (need info for chronicle sheet)
PJP, Yippee, operative (please dot and delete from gameplay with alias)
ElectraDawns, Electra Globes, envoy (nothing needed)
eggellis, Sarangi Steelscales, soldier (please dot and delete from gameplay with alias; also please give info for your chronicle sheet)

Looks good, guys. It would be good if you can have everything ready to go by the start of gameday tomorrow.

By the way, welcome, Sarangari.

I have deleted Obozaya's post from Gameplay =) ID 124455-702 Dataphiles faction Player name can be either Richard or Khaoz, do you need any more info Redelia?

Will have the stats later today.

Thanks, glad to be here. I made this character for another game but didn't make it in. I wasn't sure what everyone was playing and now I see there is already a soldier. I can come up with something else if we don't want to double up. A mechanic or solarian maybe? If not here is my info:

Name: eggellis
Character: Sarangari Steelscales
PFS#: 170784-702
Faction: Exoguardians

Just a little warning, I have very limited experience with society play.

I will have my char done later tonight. I am in class til 9pm pdt

I have no problem changing into the Pregen for an unused class if you guys don't want to have repeat classes. But from what I could see Sarangari and Obozaya are soldiers with different focus.

They definitely do look to have different foci. I personally don't mind two soldiers.

Two soldiers is not a bad overlap, especially since no one is doing a highly related class, like solarian.

In terms of pacing, we have 6 weeks to cover 5 quests, but I expect the starship battle quests to take extra time, so I'm aiming for one quest a week. To make this happen, I really need you guys to post every day.

Please make sure that you have read over my botting policy in my profile.

And we're about to take off. Hope everyone has fun!

I do have a botting spoiler in Miya's profile! c: If ever a consumable or ability would be appropriately beneficial, please use it (though I don't think I have any consumables atm)! ^o^

ok... I didn't have time to finish creating my mystic, so I'm gonna play the pregen Keskodai... hope that's okay. Don't particularly like this avatar, but couldn't find anything else even remotely appropriate.

name: JAF0
character: 'Shadowspawn'
pfs # 52335-706
faction: Wayfinders

Yeah, I really hope they give us Starfinder avatars soon. It's on someone's todo list, we've been told.

We're getting started, guys; please make sure you read over the botting policy in my profile to know what to expect.

None of us are completely comfortable with the rules yet, so we will be learning together. Please let me know if you see me making any rules errors, and we will talk things through.

As a heads up, I'll be AFK from the 1st to the 3rd! I'll be out in the woods, LARPing and otherwise pretending to be cool. c: That said, feel free to make use of Miya while I'm gone. ^o^

I will be attending Strategicon from Friday through Monday... Will be able to make limited posts, but not reliably nor frequently... I will try to keep up with at least one post a day, but no guarantees. Please bot me as needed to keep up the pace of the game, thanks.

How tall is that ladder in front of me?

The ladder in front of you goes down from where you are 15 feet, to the level of the ground in the central area.

Before we start the next part, you guys need to agree on your starship roles. I will help you if needed, but I would prefer you guys make these decisions on your own. Please post a list of all skills you have that apply to starship combat, as well as what you think would be fun.

Yippee was built as a pilot, so it would be my first choice.

Piloting +12
Survival +12
Culture +10
Computers +9
Engineering +9

Obozaya has BAB, and that's it.

So, she's gunning for the gunner position.

If there are 2 guns I could take the other one. I also have a +3 engineering bonus.

I'm glad to hear that at least one character has a high number in piloting. I tried an in person game last night where the highest piloting was +2, and it took forever and was truly ugly.

I know it's a crazy weekend for lots of people, so we can wait a bit longer to hear from everyone else about their ship roles.

I'll give those who haven't responded yet at least 12 hours more to post. The proper choice of roles will really impact if you guys are able to have fun with the starship combat. In about 12 hours, I'll look at the character sheets of those who haven't posted and try to pull things together.

Thank you, Redelia!

I think with Miya's rather, er... suboptimal skills... She might be best as a passenger, orz. She'll fill whatever role she's given to the best of her ability, but if all roles are filled, she'll, um. Try not to get in the way?

BAB +0
Dex +1
Piloting +1
Survival +3
Culture +5

Looking at the starship rules and as an envoy with lots of charisma skills Elektra makes sense for the captain role...even if it might be weird having someone like her being "the captain" of the ship...

Bluff +7
Diplomacy +9 (+1d6)
Intimidate +7
Piloting +8

It seems Elektra has everything she needs to be a great Captain, or is that, Idol Captain? =)

Here's my suggestion based on what everyone has posted:
captain: Elektra
pilot: Yippee
gunners:Obozaya, Miya
science officer: Keskodai
engineer: Sarangari

It's not the only possible permutation, but it seems to make the best use of everyone's skills, while prioritizing pilot and gunners which are most critical to be solid.

I'll wait a day or so to see if anyone would suggest a different arrangement before we start.

That seems to be right on the spot Redelia, I approve of those roles =)

looks good to me.

Agreed

Looks good!

I dig it!

Works for me and I'll try not to be an "idle" captain Khaoz ;)

My job keeps me super busy on weekends especially this time of year so feel free to bot me any time Friday night through Sunday too.

I am afraid Yippee is going to miss the fun for a bit. I have to go out of town for a few days, so won't be able to post until Sunday.

I'll be taking a friend to the airport so I'll be busy for most of tomorrow. c:
