Hi, everyone, here is the official announcement for GM school. I hope to see many of you there!

Anyone interested in a GM trade?

^Sure I will trade you a GM Valen for a GM Redelia. ;)

^Sure I will trade you a GM Valen for a GM Redelia. ;)

Doesn't seem a fair trade. 5 GM Valens for 1 GM Redelia, maybe? Alas, no. GM Redelia is truly priceless!

^Sure I will trade you a GM Valen for a GM Redelia. ;)

Lol I meant to run something. Im looking for #1-12: Ashes of Discovery or #1-24: Siege of Enlightenment. I can run something in return

I'd be willing to run 1-24, but not just now - got to clear a couple things off my GM plate first. My profile has the list of scenarios I'm hoping to participate in, on either side of the table.

(I also want to play, if someone else picks up the ball first.)

Unfortunately, I don't have the bandwidth to run or play a game but I have some old slides to share for 1-12 in case you find a GM who would like to use them.

Feel free to grab a copy here: LINK

Note that slides 4, 5, and 7 are not blank - they're covered up. Hope this can be of use!

I can GM one of them if you want Qstor!

I can GM one of them if you want Qstor!

Thanks! I think we have 2 for 1-24

Guidance requests input on suitable agents for an upcoming mission to Near Space.

Hello Everybody! As the holiday season approaches, this week's recruitment Fourthday comes in on a Second, to allow ample preparation time for our end-of-year award coverage! Kuthona is a time to reminisce about the past, and how better to do that than dig up some stuffy oldies!

Recruitment fourthday returns in the new year! In the meantime:

- GM Qstor is recuiting for #1-05 The First Mandate here
- GM Kludde is recruiting for various games from Season 6, as well as some oldies here
- People are generally trying to get a table together for #1-24, post your interest in this thread.

---

Gotta say Kludde, your enthusiasm powers the Starstone. Thank you for the energy you give this community.

"All your drinks from now until the new year are on the house at Castamir's station."

I'll second Conrad's sentiment, Kludde. You're a one man DM machine, but more than that you bring a great energy to the Station. Thanks.

Yes many thanks Kludde!

I don't really believe that he is only one person with the amount of games that he pumps out. He must an avatar or two of Weydan himself. ;)

I think Kludde has the multi-player/GM boon that allows you to clone your real self.

Many thanks, Kludde! It is a great fortune for us that you are here .)

Really thanks, survived a game here. Not so bad though. I mean I enjoyed and you are an ausome GM of course

Now seeking a team of agents for a diplomatic mission to the Marixah Republic. Please indicate your interest >here<. Expected departure date is 5 January 2024.

#1-24 Siege of Enlightenment is a scenario for levels 1-4. One slot reserved for Qstor, remaining slots are first-come, first served.

New year, new time to try and run a scenario.

And because its 2024, curious if there is any interest in a table of 2-24 Cornered Rat? Any players with some high-level characters interested in assaulting the asteroid base of a hated foe?

I'm interested!

Count me in! I've got three options for who to bring.

@GM Zoomba: I'd certainly be up for that!

Now recruiting here for SFS # 2-17: Cost of Living (Subtier 5-6).

I think Kludde has the multi-player/GM boon that allows you to clone your real self.

How many Achievement Points does this cost? It would be VERY useful for managing gaming with real life responsibilities!

I too would be interested in 2-12

Hello everybody, it's the first recruitment fourthday of the year. How better to celebrate the start of the than with the fresh release of an annual statement! Everybody loves corporate numbers!

In the year 2023, we had 54 starfinder games* recruited and started from the board. 9 different GMs offered games, ranging from bounties to full modules. Also, 58 different players** found a seat at a table!

*A game counts as a game mustered or announced through the Castamir recruitment channel, including follow-ups. Each bounty counts as a single game. Outpost/Gameday games are counted separately and not included in these numbers.
**Using sloppymetrics(tm), the industry standard for counting different names

Next is Bounty 7. Voyage on the River Between. I hope to start this in a few days. Currently I have the following signups.

Po'ogaan the Poisoner
Top Down
New PC (Jhaeman)
Thrym
Sovellis
GRIM*! or Pockets

The Google Sheet sign up for Bounty 7 and 8 is HERE

With three agents (Ilmakis, cmlobue, and Jhaeman) interested in 2-24 still hoping to find at least one final Starfinder ready to Corner the Rat (Datch)

Hoping for a 4th to round out 2-24 Cornered Rat. A 9-12 level scenario

So I don't quite know how this works, but I'm playing Defy the Dragon where you don't directly use your SFS character, but they're assigned to get the credit. I don't know if that means the actual SFS character is locked up during that time. Otherwise I would have a technomancer 10 who could jump in. I'm guessing that's perhaps not allowed.

Actually, I could go with 2-24. I was going to hold out until I was high tier for it but... may as well grab it now.'

So the sanctioning document for that module says:

Applying Credit

Players who play through To Defy the Dragon as well as GMs who run the adventure can apply the adventure’s Chronicle Sheet to any 9th- through 12th-level Starfinder Society Organized Play character. Players and GMs must decide which character to apply credit to when they receive the Chronicle Sheet.

Since the decision is made when you receive the Chronicle Sheet, I believe that the character is not locked.

Ty Bret!

In that case, GM Zoomba, I could join that game too if you still need a player.

I have a couple lvl 9s I could throw at 2-24 too, if you're aiming for low tier and need a +1! I have played & GM'd it, but - it was years ago, so I don't remember much, and I promise to keep what little I do recall to myself :D If there's others looking to play, though, they should get preference.

Well, that makes at least a full table then! (and Kishmo if you're interested in replaying feel free to dot in. Not entirely certian the subtier yet).

If Ilmakis, cmlobue, Jhaeman, PaleDim, Gunnz and (possibly) Kishmo can check in HERE we'll get prepared to launch shortly!

Any other folks interested in this one? (if not, I can try again perhaps at convention time)

Now recruiting here for SFS # 2-17: Cost of Living (Subtier 5-6).

I have run that once, but not played.

I've played it before, but I don't mind spending a replay point to make the table legal.
