I'm a big fan of encouraging folks to really get into their character's mindset and flesh out their backstory, so I'm really loving this chance to see what kind of person Arc is. In my home games, I like to incentivize 'cool character moments' where people make an extra effort in their RP (recently I've been doing this with a hero point equivalent). If people are OK with that kind of thing, I'd like to do the same for this game. Let me know your thoughts all.
That said, I'm also very aware that due to the slower speed of PbP, an extended character scene can shut out other folks from participating. So Arc, we can cover any further catch-up between Arc and his dad either in spoilers or via PM, but I'd like to encourage you to push the overall party goal forwards with your next post!
I just got back from Florida yesterday. I'll post tomorrow when I wake up. I needed a day to recover from travel ahaha
I have just loved reading the Isu/Arc conversations and Spectre/Ted ones ... Really loving it all.
Btw, I imagine this unnamed detective as a graying Liam Neeson.
Also, I'm loving the two man routine between Arc and Isu :>
@Solaria: I combed through your background for names, and put a character on one of them :> Hope it isn't too far off from what you were imagining!

No not at all, in my background I'd tried to make it so the hotel/motel was near Quabat's space port... or at least used by many of the spaceports travellers. Really like what you've done with the place ;-)
Happy Turkey Day

I figure this song would be most appropriate considering the holiday and scene in the game!
"You can get anything you want, at Uilee's Restaurant!"
excepting Uileee .... and I did that without recourse to listening ...
... remember littering can get you into a lot of trouble,
...just ask Uilee.... ;-)
Either Arc you're as old as me or like the older stuff..... cos I can't remember if I owned the album or borrowed it ...
P.S. it'll be a great birthday present when I listen to it later today.
P.P.S. Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving Day yesterday, over here in the UK we just have to work though.... but thinking of you all with your Turkeys. :-)
Hmmm. you're just a young 'un Arc, cos in two years time, I'll be twice as old as you .... Hee, hee!
Mentally the difference might not be so great.
You'd be pretty sure that there isn't actual turpentine in it and Arc hasn't started feeling bad, but you don't have confirmation that its safe for you to drink. The earlier Culture/Life Science check would have given you more information, in case anyone else wants to still give it a try.

Okay, I'm starting to think this song is more appropriate to Uilee and the Five Arches Cafe than Alice's Restaurant. :P
Apologies if two of the same posts turn up, but the boards are playing a bit funny and I thought the first was lost. Please diregard the second if it turns up in the game.
Hey, Solaria trusts Spectre implicitly....
... what could go wrong.

Hey Isu! Check out this kewl video! It's got info I can use for Arcalinte's solarian training and info you can use for Isu about kasathan culture and what life on the Idari was like! :D
Just to let you all know, I'll be at PAX Unplugged this weekend and therefore likely won't have any free time to post until Monday. If any of you happen to be at PAX, I'll be running PF2E Playtest demos in the afternoon on both days and running SFS1-09 on Sat evening.
Otherwise, enjoy the weekend and I'll continue things on Monday!
Hope you had a good time at the PAX.
PAX Unplugged was pretty nice, though I was sick the whole weekend (had a cold late last week that didn't clear up in time). GM'd my games are then browsed the show floor to take in all the new board games being shown off. Some really fancy stuff out there :>
Hopefully you'll get a chance to Arc! Cons are an experience, that's for sure :>
Whoops. Honor, not armor.
How dare they besmirch solarias armor
lols lols lols
I wondered what you were going on about!! :-)
Never knew you cared so much about Solaria's protective attire.

that's a 4th level light armor and a 4th level advanced weapon!
Isu doesn't want them, but they are certainly interesting!
have you guys seen this master equipment list? link
I mentioned it in the gameplay thread, but you may want to attempt a Survival check (untrained is OK) to get an idea of the hazards and what equipment would help mitigate them.
Got back from the annual family cookie bake yesterday. On Saturday night they were calling for 3 to 5 inches of snow starting at 10am and then when we woke up at 8:30AM it was already snowing and they changed their prediction to 5 to 8 inches. So we got in the car and drove for 4 hours (a distance that normally only take 2.5 hours) About halfway home we started seeing snow stick and for the last quarter we had to be careful. The sandwich place we stopped at on the way home was closing due to snow at 2pm so we felt pretty lucky. Didn't go the the grocery store because it's always a mad house during inclement weather. Before bed I stuck a ruler into the snow and it measured 11 inches. Schools will probably be closed for the week. It's not supposed to snow anymore but the temperature is solidly in the 30's.
Cookie bake we really fun though! I tried my hand at making Nutella Stuffed Double Chocolate Chip cookies *this is the recipe* but they turned out looking like little turds :( We all had a good laugh about it and everyone said they tasted okay even though they didn't look very visually appealing. I also made Chocolate Crinkle Cookies *here* and they came out looking exactly like the pictures.

I'm not sure if we should pool our money for an Advanced Medkit or not. It'd require all of us to commit our money to it (2,700 creds), but it could come in handy. We'd have 300 credits left afterwards that we could spend on a navigator's kit (20 credits) and a Xhinti Holdings survivalist's kit (200 credits). That'd give us bonuses if we're hurt or sick, avoiding getting lost and living off the land.
What do you folks think?
