The Starfinder Society needs a team to investigate a distress beacon. Explore the future of science fantasy with five quests featuring urban brawls, frontier gunfights, starship combat, and more!

Long Description:
A series of six Starfinder Quests designed for 1st-level characters. When a mysterious visitor comes to Absalom Station selling items belonging to a lost Starfinder, the Starfinder Society takes note. The PCs are dispatched to discover out how the recent arrival found these items, leading them on a series of quests beyond the Pact Worlds and into the stars. “Into the Unknown” includes five, 1-hour adventures that take the PCs from exploring Absalom Station, to partaking in starship combat, to exploring an alien world. The fifth adventure in the series provides a stunning conclusion that takes the PC’s previous accomplishments into account for a climactic final showdown against an enemy starship.

Some technical notes: You need to play a 1st level SFS character, or use one of the 1st level pregens. I'll expect people to post at least once a day (hopefully more if something exciting is going on), and if you're not going to be available you're expected to allow me to bot your character. The game can accept up to 6 players. I'd personally prefer 4, since I've never GMed a PBP before, but if there are more than 4 interested we'll see what we can do. The game will start on October 6th.

Sign me up please. It's been difficult to play online Starfinder games because of conflicting schedules. I'm going to try my luck here.


Welcome aboard! If there's anything PBP games are good for, it's being resilient to conflicting schedules.

I'd like to play this one. Fair warning, I'm GMing this one twice right now, but I'm happy to keep player knowledge separate from character knowledge if you're ok with me doing so. I'm grateful that it's repeatable. Let me know what you think! I'll put together a PC of my own for this. Thanks!

No worries, I've been in the same situation myself plenty of times, and I'm certainly not going to exclude another GM from playing just because they've run the adventure before. All I ask is that you don't spoil the plot for other players and please point out if I'm doing something wrong!

Exo-Guardians

Definitely interested.

Thanks! I'll get the PC ready asap.

Heh, no hurry, I scheduled this to start at the beginning of the second session of the PBP Game Day, so in theory we don't do anything for a little more than a month. That said, if we have enough players there's no reason we couldn't start sooner. I'm scheduled to play this on September 10th, but any time after that is really fine...


Hey I'd like to join in as well if you"ll have me.

Grand Lodge

I'd like to get in as well if I can. Working on a first character this weekend.

Would this be a good event to jump into, both as a first time Starfinder player and first time Society player (of either stripe)? If so, count me in!

Silver Crusade

If there's still a spot, count me very interested. :)


Yeah, me too. Will work on it.


Ok, so after Mobius Caslan, Jason Lillis and Tamerriv as our first 3 players, that makes...

Sure thing, you're our 4th player.

Absolutely, this would be a great first event to jump into. If you have any questions about how society games work please feel free to chime in. You're our 6th player.

Sadly, that makes you our 1st alternate player. I'll let you know if anyone drops out.

And likewise, you're our 2nd alternate.

Everyone who's in, please figure out what you'd like to play (especially if you're making your own character) so we can get people to pick what pregen they want.

As I mentioned earlier, I don't want to start the game until after I've had a chance to actually play this module once (scheduled to happen on the 10th), so if nobody else objects I'd say we could shoot to start on Friday September 15th? I know I originally said October 6th, but that was just because it was when the second session of the PBP Gameday officially starts, but there's no particular reason we really need to wait that long...

Exo-Guardians

Given my choice I'd like to play this character, my Shirren Solarian, but I'm flexible. It's all new to me and I can make a new character of any flavor fairly quickly or jump in with any of the pregens.


So I guess those 6 of us who are in lets swap to the Discussion thread to try and work out a team composition.

Silver Crusade

I'll withdraw my application as 1st alternate player, as I realized I have a bit much on my plate right now. I wish you a good game :)
