I agree on the +1s! In the space combats I've been in or seen before the pilot initiative usually helps make or break things so I'm going to focus on that unless we take hits then I'll help the engineer or if for some reason I need to taunt the enemy I'll do that too.
I am gonna try and boost the Shields
maybe weapons or engines until we get hit and need more shield power? :)

It didn’t have any effect in this case, but I would like to preserve some of the uncertainty that you get in tabletop.
The Captain is supposed to use their action (such as Encourage) before they know if the Gunner was close to hitting or the Pilot was close to pulling off that Fly-by.
If I take it step by step, it slows down the PbP too much.
So, I trust the players to not peek and I ask that the rolls be under spoilers.
Does this make sense to people?
Absolutely, as one who has wrestled with the ship combat in PbP demon I agree that this is the best method of tackling it all.
It is a Mk II so it gives +2 to any two checks.
Cool

Due to military obligations I am going to be on 24 hour shifts for at least the next two days where I will not be able to reliably post. Stepped away to get these messages posted.
Thank you for your service by the way.
Yes, thanks for your service and the notification.
Sorry I haven’t been on. Went on a quick trip and forgot my iPad. I will get a post in later tonight.
Thank you for your support! And I am back...just a little groggier and catching up with my games/schoolwork.
With regards to the slide show:
You will need to request permission to edit the slide. Please do so, I will grant it as the requests come in.
Where do I go to place my avatar thing?
Most people just grab the avatar from the forum and paste it into the slideshow. If you don't know how to do that, I can do it for you.
If you use a different avatar, please include a copy on the front page with your character's name below it.
NO this is fine, but after that what do I with the Avatar
Put it on Slide 1 alongside the others.
Copy it and paste it on to Slide 7. You will need to shrink it and most likely will want to zoom in on that slide.
It's easter weekend so work is crazy for me right now sorry I havent been around
I expected a big slow down this weekend. We will see if we can’t get into the building before Monday. :)
Added to slides and moved to entrance. Thanks!
Might not be able to lost until easter. Qirk stuff
Sorry, no update tonight, I have a nasty headache, makes it difficult to concentrate.
Just in case some of you haven't seen this before in a PbP, I roll initiative individually and then group them into NPC and PC blocks.
The PCs act when bolded in the order that they post. Please DO NOT WAIT when you are bolded. The combats would take forever in PbP if everyone waited sequentially until their turn. Feel free to specify that you are waiting until after the other person but include your actions so I can resolve it as soon as the other person acts.
I will at times have an NPC delay in order to better group them. I usually wait until after at least one round of combat before doing so.
Quig, please update your resolve in your header. I believe you spent one to recover the stamina after getting that nasty shock.
If anyone else is down on Resolve or Stamina, please make sure your headers are updated.
Thanks!
On a totally different topic, the game is drawing to a close.
That means I will need the following information so I can fill out the chronicle sheets:

You should each also do a boon roll. Roll d20,no modifiers. On a 1 or a 20 you win a boon. If you win, roll a d2 to determine which one.

Also question, just to confirm. With this, since it's pre-mades lvl4, you cannot apply it to your character until they are level 4, correct?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
This is a Tier 3-4, so you should apply it when your character is level 3.
A lot of people have asked about this, including myself. It hasn't been well communicated but when you are required to use a Pre-Generated character (like in this), you use the Tier for when it applies rather than the level of the pre-generated character.
Tier level, got it. Awesome. Thx
Obozaya can't talk, but the answer is Hairless Monkey.
Sorry took a while to decide which character to apply this to.

@Quig/Critzible
I still need the information for filling out the chronicle from you. I found your boon roll but not the other information.
Please either send it to me as a PM or post it here.
Thanks!
Not quite.
You have to act before the drone.
You can give the drone your Move and Swift Action.
The Drone normally has a Standard action.
So you could take a Standard action (such as shooting) and the Drone could take a Full Round Action (Standard of own plus your Move and Swift) to Attack twice or do anything else requiring a full round action.
You could take a Full Round Action in which case the Drone would only have a Standard Action.
Those are the two most useful cases. In any case, you have about 1.5 rounds between the two of you allowing a maximum of three attacks, or Two Attacks and someone moves.
Exactly that.
It mostly preserves initiative order without slowing things down. It would be miserable doing a battle in PbP if you had to wait until exact order, especially with the different posting times of each person.
If people want to wait until someone else has posted, I try to encourage them to just make a conditional post. If you want to go after someone who hasn't posted, just say your action happens after them. I am also fine with people saying things like nearest hostile to indicate a target. Give me a reasonable idea what you want to do, and I'll do my best to follow those instructions.
Cool... A little off topic, but what's the best way to look-for and sign for more starfinder pbp here on the forums?
If you look in GM HMM profile you will find a lot of useful links for online play. The one for Castamir Station will have people offering Starfinder PbP games.
She also has a link to the Discord server used by a lot of people who want Virtual Table Top (VTT) games.
I would suggest you start there.
Sweet thank you
Thanks! Gm Bret!
Great game everyone and many thanks Bret!
Thanks, glad you liked it!
@Critz I still need a faction from you. You can find a link to a description of each faction on this page.
Dataphiles
