OutPost 1: GM Kate's Sanctuary of Drowned Delight, Table 2 (Inactive)

Game Master Kate Baker

Table 2: Jeremy Corff, Bret, Hmm, Gayel Nord, bigboom, and Blake's Tiger

Hello, all! I am so excited to run my scenario for you as part of OutPost 1. Please go ahead and dot in the gameplay thread. You can introduce your character now, if you'd like. We will get started on March 5th.

I do strongly recommend that you wait to finalize equipment purchases until after the briefing.

Hello all, Hmm here.

Charli will be level 3 (actually 4) because I am applying a credit from Incident at Absalom Station in a game that will finish shortly... Blake's Tiger and Bret are also in that game, though they may be using different characters than the ones that they have in mine.

Hmm

Hello, this is Bret.

I need to update the character profile since I’ve played several games in person since I last updated.

Neon Ten is an Icon Technomancer (Starfinder Forerunner) 4 who has been spending fame like crazy. Now to work on spending some of the money.

@Kate
Do you want a list of scenarios played?

It would be nice to know if you’ve played 1-04: Cries from the Drift.

I credited that to a different character, my mechanic. Still need to play it at some point.

Blake's Tiger here. Running this with a Pregen (planned to use Keskodai so I need to update the profile) as the character that I would have like to use is currently 1 xp shy and possibly about to be eaten by a horrible alien beast.

I didn't know 1-04 was linked; that's the other scenario I'm playing in Outpost.

Exited to play this under the author. :)

Antoine have done all the adventures for now.

Antoine Désilets is a freelance photojournalist. He is specialised in the society affairs. He is also preparing a special article called The aliens that taste me.

bigboom here! My character who played Cries From the Drift is 1xp shy of level 3 so I'll be playing the operative pregen instead. My first time playing an operative!

Hawthorne might survive this, you never know. I cannot do anything about the missing XP unless we all do a fast VTT game once Incident ends.

Hmm

Neon Ten was born on Akiton but moved to Absalom Station for better access and connections to the technical community. He is best known for a demonstration and product review he did for Qualdeep Ltd. of their latest environmental suits. It was done in the Puddles district of Absalom Station.

The data stream is still popular. Evidently there is something incredibly cute about a Ysoki running through the tubes of the Puddles.

He has also been asked by various news streams to explain a topic and answer questions from the viewers.

He has met both Envar Tam and Zo! and is on friendly terms with both of them.

Since we have two different people who are 1 xp short, should we try to arrange a quick VTT session or something? Allow them to get their characters up to level 3 so they can play them rather than pre-gens?

I'm not sure how practical that is, but we do have slightly more than a week.

I would love to do this! Let’s do this!

Is everyone on the Session Tracker? I am Hmm on there and have several adventures that I have neither played nor GMed. Bret is BretI on there. What time zones is everyone in? Bret and I are in North America, CST.

In the 1-4 range, I have not played 1-02, 1-04, or 1-10.
Hmm

I could gm it. I have gmed 04 but I can still do it.

That's so great! This one plays just fine with pre-gens, but I know it's more fun to play your own character.

We need to figure out what games we have in common in the 1-4 range, and what time zones everyone is in. Big Boom and Blake need the extra XP and I believe that Big Boom has already done 1-4.

Gayel, from what I understand, you have already GMed and played everything. Is this correct?

Hmm

Logistically, this might be tough for me to pull off. I'm in the GMT+7 timezone - which puts me at the polar opposite of EST. For example, if it's 9pm in New York, then it's 9am for me.

On top of that, there's not many options open to get my character that one extra XP. My options are:

• I GM 1-05: The First Mandate
  
• I play or GM Incident at Absalom

I don't believe I can play/GM 1-06: A Night in Nightarch with a pregen then apply the chronicle with reduced rewards to a level 2 character. If I'm wrong and this is actually allowed, then that would be a third option for me.

Hmm

I haven't played the one with Zo! 1-10.

But I have gmed 1-04 1-05, the quest.

That is my understanding as well. The reduced rewards only apply to a level 1 character.

I am sorry we can't make this work for you bigboom.

Shoot. Polar opposite time zones might make this less workable for a group that includes Bret and myself, Big Boom. You might be best off offering to GM First Mandate or Incident for a different group on the PFSchat.com at Discord. That VTT group goes 24/7, in all time zones. You could likely get a group together fast for either game.

First Mandate won’t work for me, because Charli just played that!

No worries! In all likelihood, between having to prep, set up a VTT (I have not yet GM'd via VTT, so there's a learning curve for me), and baby duties, I probably won't be able to get that XP in time.

I appreciate the thought and willingness to put in the effort though!

I'm in US Central time zone, but I'd probably have to GM something for that last XP. I've been a bit too eager signing up for SFS scenarios.

It looks like I can squeeze in a session with my local game group, but that would leave us without a mystic.

Will get my character updated today but wanted to check in. I've played Cries from the Drift with a different character but will be GMing it for a RL group March 3rd and crediting this character.

We have an Envoy. Although nice, I've played other scenarios without a Mystic.

I think Starfinder is more forgiving about needing a particular class. It seems more important that a group be able to cover the various skills. I know that we will have some overlap, but I haven't checked how well this group covers them.

We have two envoys. There Will be overlap.

Sorry, you are correct. We have two envoys. Different skill expertise and somewhat different skills on them which is good.

I can't tell what Improvisations are on Antoine, hopefully those are also a little different than on Charli.

I expect we will have other things where there are overlap as well.

The profile is still in construction but the skill expertise is cunning liar.

The improvisation are get'em, clever feint (flash of the Camera) and clever attack.

So the only overlap in Envoy special abilities is Git’Em, which means the group can have two different creatures targeted!

Sounds good.

Here's my character. Hopefully formatted correctly.

I'll still be playing a pregen so I can switch to mystic if most of the operative skills are pretty much covered. Suggestions from other players are welcome! I'm fine with any pregen really.

Otherwise, I'll take another look at what our party composition is later this week then see which pregen I should roll with.

If it affects your choice of character, there is no starship combat in this one.

Good to know.

I believe I need 3 posts in order to select a image, yes?

I'm not sure? I'm seeing an avatar now if that means anything.

It wasn't, I was just looking in the wrong place. Glad the pic is showing up now!

Question, the 6 mars i Will Play 1-09. Can I use Antoine? I know that we start at this date but...

Playing in PbP game is the same as playing in a multisession: your character is unavailable for playing other scenarios until completion.

Would anyone mind if I switched characters?

Neon Ten is my icon character, and just 1xp short of 5th level. If I play them, it means not bringing them to Live! Extreme Exploration!

I have a Vesk mechanic, Mikkazuki, who has a drone. Just leveled them to 3rd level but haven’t updated the profiles.

It's certainly fine by me!

I managed to get Hawthorne that missing 1 XP. However, that would leave us with no spellcasting if I swap out... *frets*

Hey everyone! Okay, in trying to figure out which pregen I should bring, I'm trying to figure out what character class everyone is bringing.

Here's what I can figure so far from the discussions above:

• Hmm: Charli (Envoy)
  
• Bretl: Mikkazuki (Mechanic)
  
• Gayel: Antoine (Envoy)
  
• Jeremy: Rahm (Soldier)
  
• Blake: Hawthorne (Mechanic)

Blake, don't sweat it. If the list above is correct, I'll play the Mystic pregen. However, I might need some OOC pointers along the way because I'm not experienced in playing spellcasters but I'm certainly not opposed to it!

Oh well.

"Mikkazuki reporting for duty!"

It would be nice to know if you’ve played 1-04: Cries from the Drift.

"Yes, I was on that mission. I volunteered as soon as I heard Zigvigix was looking for people!"

Following Mikkazuki is a robot that looks like it has seen the wrong end of almost every type of weapon. Although it is intact, there does not appear to be any surface on it that isn't dented, scorched, or patched. It does have a fresh coat of lightning blue paint, but that just makes the previous damage stand out more.

The robot has a tactical pike sticking out of a sheath built into it's back.

"She volunteers. I get volunteered."

Let me know if you have any questions about the construction of the drone or anything else about the character.

Given the description of the scenario, I do have a rules question:

Can I take a hammer to BOB, rework him during the trip to wherever, in order to put Hydrojets on it.

It is unclear in the rules (pg. 74) if you can only change choices when you gain a new mechanic level, or any time after your drone gets destroyed.

@big boom

In case you weren’t aware, there are preformatted versions of all the pre-gens available as part of the PbP kit that HMM links to off her GM avatar.

Could save you some time.

As for running the Mystic, they run very similar to an Oracle in Pathfinder. Small number of spells known, spell slots used to cast them, and some sort of connection specific power.

Ohhhh! Thanks for the pre-formatted pregens link!

The team that worked on that project were great. Poblano inspired it, but a whole bunch of people pitched in over the holidays to input them. Elinnea, bless her heart, did half of them including almost all the SFS ones.

I still need to get the star-gated pregens (serpents rise + ire, maelstrom’s rift) in there, but it has most of the pregens players need in one place.

Hmm

By the way, Charli is mostly leveled. I now have to figure out what to spend all her money on. There are so many glorious possibiliities. I guess I will wait until the mission briefing.

Kate, may we have some pregame RP to get us started getting to know each other? I would love to serve tea to everyone!

Hmm

Sure thing! I'll get a post up.
