I am offering a GM Trade a/k/a You GM for Me and I GM for You in an effort to help one another (and friends/acquaintances/other entities) complete as many of the existing SFS scenarios as possible prior to the June 14th deadline in order to obtain one or more Alien Archive Boons.
With only a mildly aggressive posting rate, reasonable botting policies, and/or table counts limited to 4-5 players, I suspect that any SFS scenario can be completed within 5-6 weeks via PbP and that perhaps even a single AP mod could be completed within 10-12 weeks via PbP (although I am considerably less confident about this claim).
With just over 11 weeks to go, that provides enough time to get in a good number of scenarios and (hopefully) even play a single SFS character through 2 of them or possibly a single AP mod (or at least have fun trying)!
To that end, I am looking for GMs willing to each start running one of the following scenarios within the next two weeks with a sincere effort to bring the scenario to completion within less than 6 weeks:
1-08 Sanctuary of Drowned Delight
1-11 In Pursuit of the Scoured Past
And then, after the new scenarios come out on April 25th, to then shortly thereafter start running one of the following with a similar effort for completion within less than 6 weeks:
1-12 Ashes of Discovery
1-13 On the Trail of History
In exchange, I am offering to run any SFS scenario of your choice (even those listed above, though I would prefer not to) with the promise that I will sincerely do all I can to bring the scenario to completion within 5-6 weeks. And that I would then run a second SFS scenario of your choice.
I am also willing to play and/or run the Dead Suns AP for SFS credit, though I am cannot promise for certain that if I ran it that I would be able to complete it by 6/14 as it is designed to last much longer than the SFS scenarios.
I realize that there are a great number of talented GMs on these boards, but I also recognize that a number of them have already committed to Outpost and/or could use some relaxation. What I am proposing is not for the weary or the feint of heart. But, I suspect that there are enough of us other GMs out there to pull this off (and perhaps we’ll be able to offer some player spots to some of those weary GMs as a “Thank you”.)
So, what say you Starfinder Society GMs? Will you join the Blitz for the Boon?
I will run Dead Suns after Easter, probably on the 2nd of April
I've played 1-1, 1-5 and 1-7 and the intro and the special, so I still have yet to play the others.

I would love to give Dead Suns a go, if you'll have me. (I have the first three volumes, and mined stuff about Absalom Station, but have been having a hard time not reading the rest.) I have a first level android envoy whose current scenario may very well be done week's end. Otherwise, I would be starting with a new character - most likely a shirren mechanic.
I have all of the SFS scenarios to date and would run any of them. 1-2 is fun (and could be done fairly quickly). 1-3 was my first PbP SFS game and took less than 6 weeks to complete with 7 players (but post rate was fast and GM did a great job of keeping things going). I'd be happy to run any of them.
Name the one you would like and I happily put up a posting over in Recruitment.
Don't know yet, gotta check with the other DMs. The DMs are suppose to run other mods but that may or may not happen cause of drop outs. Let you know on the 2nd after Easter.
Alright Dm is suppose to do 1-2 and 1-3, so I'd like to play 1-4 or 1-6 or 1-8 and beyond. I'm getting dead suns up now.

Do you have a preference? I just finished 1-4 and it is a LOT of fun, but may be more difficult to recruit a group since it is an older scenario.
However, 1-6 and 1-8 are Tier 3 plus, so that may be tough too. 1-9 would be fun, but I have seen recent recruiting for that with folks reporting they want to hold off playing it until they complete 1-5.
It is hard to tell which one will be easiest to recruit. If you don't have a preference, I think I'd prefer to run 1-4 as I think it can be run relatively quickly and, like I said, I found to be quite fun.
This game Make sure to post your character here.
All my characters are level 1 and 2. My preference goes to whichever one has the least amount of spaceship combat, since that is my least favorite thing in Starfinder.
1-04 has starship combat, so 1-9 seems to best fit your criteria (low level and no starship and FUN-played it over the weekend!) Will set up a thread. Thanks for helping out a fellow Starfinder!
Set up a recruitment for 1-9. See you there!
