Looking for 4 more players to replace crew on multi-system Space Opera game


Recruitment


The ad says they need the following:
1 communication officer
1 female Engineer
1 XO(which man be removed down to normal crew, i find that NPC OX works better than PC
1 pilot human male

The ship's mission, you travel to various Galaxies of the Universe to different Earths to collect billion year old artifacts. Each Earth will be a different setting, places like Star Wars, Star Gate, Traveller, Star Trek. The base system we will be using is d20, so everything has to be converted to that.

The PCs use d20 but can use PF if come from that setting, you use whatever setting you come for to make your PC(if too different from d20 I will convert it) SO for we got mas effect, traveler, and Killjoy PCs.

So some of the things that have happened already

While leaving Mars to leave the solar system, we blew up a defending battle cruiser killing 200 people on board. The Asgardian Thor was on the planet looking over the Jumpgate being constructed and took offense to us killing so many and attacked our ship, throwing his hammer through a ship from planetside while in orbit, killing our doctor.

We Picked up a Killjoy running from a kill squad sent after him after they found out he was taking a job on the side (from us)

Travelled to Nowhere Space Station to collect some info from THE COLLECTOR on the item the captain found on our earth, got involved with a zombie uprising as some entity known as Abyss who was turning everyone on station into Zombies, THE DOCTOR showed up to help solve what was going. When we got the info we needed from THE COLLECTOR we wiped his memory of our meeting so not reveal what we had, leaving him back on the station none the wiser(so we hope). We picked up a Mass Effect Medic on the station.

Using info from THE COLLECTOR, we traveled to a world run by a planet AI to test our potential New Wi Fi setup. He breaks through in 6 secs showing the crew that having wi fi access is not a good idea but the AI offers to trade spaceship tech for nanotech. We check out rest of Galaxy and find planets destroyed, society lost where all their tech just blew up.
This is where we have the first alien join our crew from Traveller setting. we next find a huge graveyard of ships that seem to have the same fate blown up tech.

With such a large salvage we look around to find it is guarded by a living Ghost ship sending back to the grave.

To make matters more interesting the Captain seems to be some sort of undead necromancer that has offered any of the crew that wishes it to become immortal by becoming undead of their choice either at their death or when they age so much they cannot function anymore. The mission is expected to taking hundreds of years so for the humans that join would never see the end of it.


So Pathfinder meets Guardians of the Galaxy meets Sliders? Neat. A few questions.

Will it be on the Paizo boards?
What are the character creation guidelines? Character level, race points, etc.


well it ben running for a year now so its on another board.

well they are 5th level and the rules is based on what system your from.


i prefer new players remake the crew already on board which is why the ad is for human

pilot
gunner
engineer

but i rather have new players so if that does not interest you I can accept a new a crewmember


O the posting rate is high, we post once a day weekdays and once over the weekend, some players have left cause they could not keep up with the posting rate, so if looking for a fast posting game you fit in nicely. Right now we got

Killjoy Ship gunner
F Human earth based security office
M Human Doc Mass Effect
M Human earth based Nav officer
M human earth based computer/robot expert

as active players, the earth based PCs are original PCs

We have lost players for

H M pilot
H F Engineer
H F Gunner
H M 1st officer(who will stay as NPC)

Which are also all original PCs

Because we keep losing players I rather new players remake the crew we have so there is no break in story when players leave, we just lost our first Alien player(From traveller) but going to kill him off.

It hard to believe the crew would keep accepting new members based on the way the ship is run by the captain( the ship has tech on it that cant be found anywhere else and if anyone found out what their ship could do would be hunted across the universes by any race below tech level of say Star gate's Thor's race to get it so they are paranoid as hell letting anyone on the ship or using said tech when new people on the ship)

Right now is a good point to add new crewmembers as they just found 8 pods in space so having new PCS be in them would work IF that is what I have to do to get more players, I would like 8 players with a mix of active and semi active posting.

Right now I got 2 very active(multiple posts a day) and 2 semi active(24-48 hours a post)


This also means you can use old PCs from other sc fi games or even PF games, though taking a PF with no tech skills would be hard to be useful on the ship, there is a mix of ship/planet events I try to keep all PCs involved in both, some PCs are purely ship based (Nav and Robot expect) and some are both(Doc) and some are ground only(Security). You can make PCs that are both or specialize in one and I will try to keep you evolved.


I'm very curious, not sure about adding another board, where do you play at?


https://www.myth-weavers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=39451

I find this board is a bit too basic for my needs.

We also use rolld20 for combat maps, but can screen shoot for anyone that cant access it(which we have done in the past)

You find some of the players online there to chat with as well especially when there is combat which then is pasted onto the board if required.

This game wont be going away for a while it already been running about a year now and because the captain is a Character of mine in a off online game I will do everything in my power to continue to run this so I am looking for stable dedicated players that are in it for the long run.


You are using multiple game systems?

Are Starfinder characters allowed? I don't think I have any other sci-fi d20 system.


yep starfinder PCs are allow with 1 change, you only get the 3.5 feat allowance as it would be unfair to allow you more then the other PCs

it doesn't need to be d20, i can convert from other systems, there is a lot of fan based d20 converted out there, like Mass Effect.

I tend to allow the PC to use the system char creation rules then see how close they are to d20 and if there will be any problems allowing them to just use their base system.


I like the D20 modern system and play on roll20 for maps and catch a few people chattering there. I will take a look at myth-weavers, would you prefer if I post here or PM you if I'm interested?


feel free to post in the OOC space area or make a new PC in the apps thread.

You can also see the NPC in the char thread to decide it want to remake one of them or add a new crewmember. Normally new crew have limited access to ship and profits until they become trusted, that is the bonus of taking on a NPC you get full cut of profits and trusted status instantly.

There is an event coming up where some of the NPCs will be changing races as the party enters into shadowrun galaxy so the following changes happen to the NPCS;

Pilot becomes a troll
Engineer becomes a ork
Gunner becomes a Shape changing bear

These can be reversed by the Captain so you can be changed back to human with a polymorph other spell so if don't want to be that race after the change can go back to human.

BTW I am using class LA rules so if you gain a template you will add the powers slowly to the LA max from Savage Species as there are options of becoming vampires and other undead on the table. To try to keep the party level with those that DONT choose to go that route it allows those that want to slow gain their powers next to the other crew members.


Can i use the gamma world-to-payhfinder conversion found here? Also using the Dream scarred press Psion?


Yep that the next setting am using next so you could be from the planet or found in space or use the d20 gamma world 6 ed I have found .


Since the default pcs are d20 I would use d20 gamma world instead of home brew pf


Hmm ok ill try making the d20 system, are you sure the PF conversion is off the table?


Uhh, guys, d20srd.org isnt working.


Sweet, I will try and build for the female engineer. Aayalla here was a take on a Jedi esq character for another game that fell apart. What level is the group at? I love that your using LA for templates. If you are cool with the Soulknife and Psy Warrior I will work on a new build for her when I get some info from you. I post daily and multiple times. I have a 4 years old game on here I'm in so I'm not going anywhere. Thanks.


post in the char app thread so i can work on your char with you guys.

Gamma world has a d20 book if can find it online i can help you make a char from it if cant find it

https://www.myth-weavers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=39451&tg=73030


i wont have time to look at the pf conversion so for now yea its off the table


BTW anyone taking on a crew member will get a share of the 8 million salvage job they just are starting so stating credits is 80k, if not its going got be alot less based on std d20 rules for level 4, which is what they are starting at.

So i got one person starting to make his PC so 3 more spots to take, its first come first go, so post in the char app thread if interested.


Thats me >©<.


Yep still 3 spots left


so 2 spots left


dotting, will have a proper look later


so its looking like 1 spot left, got some interesting apps coming off this board for sure


Lost one of the players so 2


How about A Stanley Tweedle character from Lexx.

Scarab Sages

Pathfinder Rulebook, Starfinder Society Subscriber

I thoroughly enjoy experiencing different systems. I'd like to put my name in if possible.

I'm thinking of using star wars d20 revised if possible. Going for a human crew member, not sure which ones are still open. Though I could also use edge of the empire, starfinder, or Warhammer 40k dark heresy.


well post in char thread your PC idea and I can work with you, the link is up above.

Cucumber you could take on the engineer already on the ship and change her personality to suit your needs.


so those that are interested please pm me or post on other board, i got a perfect time to intro new crew after this event is over it only will be current crew open to be taken over.
