Castamir's Flaxseed Station

Game Master Chris Marsh

Then I must be using an out of date version. Odd my version number seemed to of lined up. Well thanks for the help!

Hey, A Question for the PBP community: I frequently update my PBP games on mobile, and it seems from what I can tell that the Paizo website no longer supports editing an alias through a mobile browser. The button to edit your alias literally isn't there.

Is this just a problem for the browser I'm using, or is it universal? It's not terrible, but it is...irritating.

I hadn't noticed but the option to edit disappears when I have my phone vertical (chrome on Android) but reappears in landscape mode. It think it's dependent on how wide your browser is set for. My phone is pretty long so I can get an almost desktop width on my phone, but if you have a way of manually setting browser width it might fix it, but also notifying the tech section of the website might make them aware that such a problem exists.

Did this 'shrink' or something? It seems 'smaller' than it used to be.

"Did what shrink? Space? Life? Me?" The little gnome looks up at the tengu. "I assure you, I've always been this short."

Dear Charli, you are not short, not on wits, humor, on nothing!

"As for actual height, we ain't short, everyone else is just too tall!"

”Here, Here!!”

"...I meant the Station, not the people on it. And aside from which, tengu don't set much in the way of height records... if we even exist in the future. I may just be a figment of everyone's imagination..."

"Not a figment, but a sweet dream of friendship!"

Yep, there is a distinct lack of bird-people in Starfinder. None in AA1, AA2, or in the Azlanti Empire (Against the Aeon Throne.) That's why I designed the Xaursi --- my glow in the dark owl people. Alas, third party so I'll likely never see them in play myself.

But we need bird people. Here's hoping that AA3 or Dawn of Flame has one.

Hmm

There are the Strix...who I'm pretty sure stole our tower from us.

Also...I didn't know you created, Hmm. Do you publish?

Nevermind...I actually clicked the link. Nice to find another publisher.

Everyman Gaming was my first real game writing gig. They are distributed under Rogue Genius Games, and do take newer authors. Alex Augunas is a nice guy and he does provide feedback to new authors.

My hope is to someday get picked up to write a Paizo Adventure, but I've gotten to sell quite a bit of my Starfinder writing this year. If you are a creator, have you discovered Freelance Forge? It's a message board filled with freelancers, some of them really established like Kate Baker and Lyz Liddell and Mike Kimmel, and it's a pretty supportive networking spot.

Hmm

I have not heard of Freelance Forge. I will take a look, today. I had some luck doing some freelance stuff in the past but had a time crunch for a while so just focused on publishing my own stuff because there wasn't a deadline.

I've got a little more time, now, though.

I found this thread that helped with both of my questions!

PCGEN explained!

EDIT Never mind, it helped me get the Armory and Alien Archive 2 to work but the link to the Alien Archive one didn't. Either way, I hope that link helps someone.[/ooc]

Sorry for the delay. I have been on a computer hiatus this weekend.

All of the sourcebooks for Starfinder should now be available in the main pcgen repository on github. If you already have pcgen 6.08 RC3 installed, just click on the Clone or Download button and download the zipfile. Then extract the desired folders from pcgen\data\starfinder\paizo\ and place in the same location in your installed pcgen folder. Then launch pcgen, select the Advanced tab and set the Game Mode to Starfinder RPG. Under the paizo category, you can then load the sources you want/need. hope this helps. Let me know if you need anything more. You can reach me in a few ways, including a DM here or in our discord server.

Thank you Bigrin! I love the program, it makes making a new character for PbP so much easier.

Thanks! I'll pass that along to the team. I've been enjoying pcgen for a little over a year now. I used it for a week, then started volunteering to do simple abilities and feats, which grew to doing entire books. Now, I am the primary Starfinder content data monkey.

We are always looking for volunteers, so if anyone wants to give it a go, we can definitely help get you started.

<cough> slippery slope </cough>

For those of you who are interested, we just released a new version of pcgen (6.08 RC 4) that has all of the new Starfinder content (and a bunch more new pathfinder sources) embedded. There are also several bug fixes and performance improvements.

you can download that newest version HERE

BREAKING NEWS

Online Support Program Announced!

More details coming tomorrow!

Eagerly awaiting said details ;)

Nice to hear we're getting support for the online region

So if I read it correctly, there's no reason NOT to sign up, right?

Yep, I would sign up any campaign starting February or later that is not part of a convention. I don't see a reason to not do OSP, myself.

Hmm

^ Correction. I would do this for any publically-recruited game. Invite-only games do no count for this.

Looking for more details for the new Online Support Program?

They can be found here:

Continuing the conversation from recruitment:

Alright, so who has characters at level 5 and up? I currently have three in that territory: Charli, Magical Mu (the recipient of all my Dead Suns chronicles) and Bat Elf, who just leveled up. So theoretically, I could sign up for three high-level tables at Outpost and help them happen.

Though realistically, I only have the bandwidth to play two Outpost games. So maybe what I should do is move Mu from Beacon Code Dilemma to King Xeros...? It's going to be the one time she gets played on level 6 before she pops up to Level 8 due to AP credit.

Maybe King Xeros needs a Icon Melee Technomancer used to showing off in the Gladiatorial ring!

"Yeah, for a world famous icon, no one gets to see me! I am the mahvelousssssss mayhemest MAGICAL MU, and I bring my own fightclub baby!"

If my solarion survives Shifty's game, I'll have my first level 5! :) Signed up for 1-4 games though, as I've neglected some of my other characters for a while. But let me drop on of them to join you at one of the King Xeros. Again, this is provided he survives... :)

I only have a level 3, and two level 2s for SFS, but then my highest level PFS character is only level 6 followed by a level 5 and then a 3... maybe I should stop making extra characters, but then I just got (okay some months ago, but in PBP speeds that's not too long) boons for making level 2 characters ... ARGH.

Excellent. I decided to go to the Wolf's table so that he had some friendly faces for his first ever foray into PBP as a Paizo GM.

"This will be Mu-nificent!"

I have a lvl 6 envoy, and a soon-to-be lvl 6 mystic and operative. The former two I’m running through the scoured stars story arc, so I’m trying to be strategic about what scenarios they play in.

I have a level 4 who in the coming months will hopefully be level 5. I think I could have a level 5 based on GM credit but I have't actually made the character I have apply credit to so not positive on it's level yet.

I have a Technomancer in that range. I'm signing him up for the 5-6 tier of Scoured Stars Incident. I'm still fairly new to the online community. If the game is on the Roll for Combat Discord does it use Roll 20 for maps/character sheets?

If my solarion survives Shifty's game, I'll have my first level 5! :)

#if #miracle #raisedead

My Solarion, which is my highest level character is only level 2 because of a certain multi-table special played here relatively recently.

But then, I don't play much.

I have a level 4, three level 2s, three level 1s, and ideas for a few more characters I haven't created yet. Many of those also have pregen credit waiting for them once they level up some more. A lack of focus will do that to you, but I find it useful to have a whole flock who can sign up for pbp games simultaneously. ^^

Yep, the flock is a killer sometimes, but is kinda necessary if you're playing a lot of PbP and maybe not as much live play. I'm in that boat too, with three level 3s (operative, technomancer, and mystic) and a level 2 (solarian). My mystic is just one scenario from level 4, though, so hey! Progress!

I have a level 5 that I'd like to play. What is Outpost 2 though?

My only level 6 (all others are level 3 or below) has been waiting for an opportunity to play SFS 1-21 Yesteryear's Sorrow, which will get him to level 7. It looks like the next opportunity will be a con in late March, but that won't free him up for Outpost.

I have a level 5 that I'd like to play. What is Outpost 2 though?

Outpost II is our next online PBP convention that runs from 11 Mar - 6 May. Announced on Castamir here by our beloved Hmm and you can find the sign-up sheet here!

Join in the fun!

OK so how will Outpost jive with the recent RSP for Online play?

Are we still able to report OSP whilst Outpost is running for non-Outpost games?

Online Support Program

Games ran during online conventions, or other boon supported events, do not qualify for the OSP.

You can still report games to the OSP during that timeframe. Just not games that are being ran as part of the Outpost II Convention which are listed out in the signup sheet.

OK sweet, I figured as much but I hate to assume :p

Is there a place where all the current SFS scenarios are listed with their tags for easy reference?

I am having some trouble specifically keeping up with what is repeatable.

So far I only have two characters really, and I am having trouble knowing what I can run again as the player with another character.

I am getting ready to think through a new character as well, and that will just complicate things.

Any guidance?

Have you looked into PFStracker yet? GM HMM turned me on to this and I never looked back. It takes a bit to figure out the filters and groups, but it sure is easy to use. One thing I wish it had was the ability to assign a scenario to a particular character, but I imagine that is coming some day.

For example, if you go HERE you can see my reported scenarios (Look for the SFS Season 1 button) as both player and GM

Thanks Bigrin!

Hope it helps. Every time I log in I find a new way to use it. My current group is all on it so I can see what scenario I want to run without having to ask everyone. I just show up prepared, and they are none the wiser until we get started.

I too wish there were an easy way to see an overview of scenarios and their tags. I made a spreadsheet to track the tags, main locations, continuing storylines, and scenario authors. It was for my own reference, but if you want to use it you can see it here. (Everything is entered manually, mostly based on the scenario product descriptions, so I make no guarantees about its accuracy.)

Sometimes I refer to this wiki article that lists all the scenarios for the season and includes their tags, among other info.

Pfstracker is also a wonderful resource and I heartily recommend it as well. :)

The PFSTracker has a way to filter your search for evergreens, specials, etc.

FYI everybody - as seen on the Online Campaign page

On Saturday, February 16, starting at noon Pacific time, paizo.com be undergoing planned network updates. Our team estimates paizo.com downtime will last between approximately 2-4 hours. Updates or notes regarding the downtime will be posted here.

Do people still run earlier season games in here? I had to drop off a while back but may have some bandwidth in the future and want to know if I'll be able to continue some of the storylines my PCs were experiencing.

We are still in Season 1 and folks are still running all sorts of games. Right now we are just beginning sign-ups for Outpost II. go ahead and sign up. :)

March 11th through May 6th, 2019. Register now to get into a great Starfinder game!
