Yeah, sorry, had my grandmother's 80th birthday this weekend and the one time I had to post on Saturday, the site was down for maitenance X.x
As an FYI, we have an engineer out with the flu and a Friday deadline for a giant client, so I'll be hard-pressed to post the next couple of days. Feel free to bot me if needed!
Boreal has some times now and then when posting has lower priority.
I'm not opposed to taking another player in. Doesn't hurt to have an extra hand if you know someone.
Hi guys. I am sorry for dropping off the face of the planet.
I started university again 3 weeks ago.
I am doing third year chemical engineering.
I have been struggling to get back into the workload of all of that. I have made myself a promise that I am going to spend atleast half an hour a day on the boards.
That will be starting today.
Welcome back! And good luck with 3rd year - that was the toughest for me, but I hope it's easier on you! It's hard work, but it pays off.
@Boreal/EH-RK
Some readied action?
Boreal, don't forget about that Golemplate with jumpjets installed. I think it'll be an upgrade for you.
Probably will be. Been a hectic hectic week. Preparing for exams which start next week.
FYI
Manteca's device can be 'healed' with a computer check too.
If you are done down there you can write yourself into orbit again and tell whom you want to contact with what questions/informations.
Any other details already?
Discussion.
Hi there - I am the friend of Imagine/Atlas2112 with the Solarian. Finishing touches and will have an alias and profile for the character hopefully today.
I'm just getting my feet wet with Paizo but have run pbp campaigns in other platforms. I expect to be able to post at least daily.
Lot's of action and good pace to this campaign - looks exciting.
Cheers
I have to get used to the avatar. In my mind there is a hard link between Solarian and Kasatha, causing the "this is wrong" alert to go off everytime I see Terenger's picture. ;)
Therenger is just my top level avatar, not my dedicated alias. After too much time agonizing, I settled on Human Solarian. I agree totally that Kasatha is the first thought for this class, but it could be that we are predisposed to think along those lines because of the image on page 100. When you consider that the Solarian's key stat is CHA and Kasatha does nothing for that, then I think there are better choices where I don't get totally screwed on skills. Human it is.
Btw, still punishing myself over equipment and final ability scores, but I think I've arrived at a rationalization I am comfortable with. Should have the profile finished tomorrow.
We also had a kasatha solarian playing here. But of course there are other choices.
My character profile is ready. I'll copy in the relevant Class bits tomorrow and flesh out a little back story.
Cheers
You got an idea how to join, story wise? Or are we working with side effects of the improbability drive and you end up in the cargo bay of the Sunrise Maiden?
Funny you should put it like that. :) At GenCon in '92 there was an event called, "Get killed by Terry Brooks," or something along those lines. Terry improvised this ridiculous adventure and every 30 seconds or so one of the PCs would inexplicably die, and so almost everyone in the very large room got to sit at the gaming table with Terry Brooks. There was only one thing you had to do: when your name was called and you sat down, Terry gave you the mic and you had to explain how your character came to be in the game in that specific situation. I remember my raison d'etre was, "I succeeded in disbelieveing my previous existence." And voila! I also remember that I was up there for less than a minute when Terry decided to kill all the PCs at once and reset the table. Oh well.
I'll hopefully have something that fits in my backstory later tonight. No promises it won't be less tacky, and as Imagine/Atlas2112 has recently demonstrated somewhere else, I may resort to invoking the Rule of Cool.
Well, we're out in the middle of nowhere. This limits the possibilities of random social interactions a bit. The only half way reasonable stuff that came to mind was, that you were here investigating the same after catching the transmission, but got your ship shot to trash and now you're floating in an escape pod in the area.
Escape pod sounds more plausible than any other possibility I can think of. Let's go with that. I like to say that the probability of anything infinitely unlikely occuring in an infinite universe, given infinite time, is 1:1. Now, if the universe is finite...
Moved the entrance discussion to private message @Petrovich, to leave something to look forward to for the rest of the crew.
The spaceship combat was totally one sided with that Tier 1/2 ship and only prolonged by bad rolls. So I cut it short.
Hey everyone,
posting might be spotty for a few days - my car broke down while running work errands for a trade show we need to be packed for tomorrow.
Things are busy.
Please bot Manteca providing as much emotional and combat support as possible until I return. Thanks!
Seems like the story is hung up on a procedural action to bring the life pod onboard the Sunrise Maiden. Can we assume that and move ahead?
The game is hung on no one posting. That happens every now and then. Putting in a reminder helps.
@Therenger/Maxim - yes, I am a Dizzy Gillespie fan :) I was actually a music education major back in college, primary saxophone, so I studied a good amount of jazz, and the name got stuck in my head when I was trying to rename the Doctor when he made the change from lashunta to shirren.
That's cool. I still play trumpet in a local band. I was a music major myself until I switched to business. Are you teaching now?

Ahahahahaha, nope - I work at a robotics shop? Worked some software support and sales jobs for a few years and then had a family friend let me know about a job at a company he was an investor in - super-lucky break. I don't play much anymore, but I did bring the saxophone out a few months ago to play a few bars with our wedding band. :) Still got it!
Did you plan on doing something on that rock beyond selling off stuff?
What, no "Pirates of the Diaspora" sub-campaign? :)
It is plausible that the Pirates might actually know something about the location of the Stellar Degenerator or at least some comings and goings of cultists or the Corpse Fleet. Unless it isn't.
Sorry, I thought I had said I would take the golemplate
Did you plan on doing something on that rock beyond selling off stuff?
Not really, I just figured that selling here might give Imagine some opportunities to make a few "ARR SPACE PIRATE ARRR" posts in a way that boring ole Absolom Station would not.
If nobody else wants this bar fight I'm cool with just leaving. I've just been rp-ing for something to do.
I'm waiting if Imagine wants to follow up on this.

Hey gang,
I think this is where Manteca is going to step off the ship. I've been getting way busier at work lately, to the point where I'm sometimes working way later (record so far is 2 in the am), plus the missus and I are going to need to help pack her parents up from their house and try to find a new apartment to live in ourselves. I'm dropping down to likely a lurker status on the boards, so I just don't think I can keep up the posting as the quirky lovable shirren, much as he would hate to abandon this awesome little found family.
Thanks for an awesome year of RP, and I hope you all enjoy the epic ending of the AP - it's well worth hanging around for. :) I grant full permission to Foxy to use Manteca as an NPC - maybe he stays on the ship as medic, or finally figures out the heaps of innuendo that Imagine has been piling on ;) I'll leave that up to you to decide.
See you, space cowboys.
Thanks for welcoming me into the campaign. Best of luck to you!
You want to switch characters?

Hmmmm. I've just been feeling...nerfed.
Like, MY Big Double Whammy, the 2nd lvl Mind Thrust, does 4d10,(ave 22) save for half. Some creatures save a lot. I only have 3 2nd lvl spells.
An Operative can do 3d8+d4+2(ave 18) every round.
An Envoy with a Soldier dip of 1 level can swing a Dosh or some big rifle and do a good deal of damage every round AND has access to the complete suite of Envoy powers.
Sure, a Mystic can heal, but hp don't come up too much, and if I heal much I'm even worse in combat. And an Envoy can heal SP a lot. Once per character, but its still a lot for an at-will power.
It seems like Stafinder is really equipment heavy, and if you don't have access to some equipment, you're relying on your class powers, and it seems like the Magic class got nerfed too much. =/
And you want to exchange characters, or just rebuild Imagine? Wouldn't be the first time for this game either.

Heh. While I admit and recognize that this would be hard on the DM's sanity, I like to think that part of my above-average RP is because I bake-in the character's personality into the very name. I could no more play Imagine like I play, say, Brother Attero Dominatus the WarCleric, or Gorn SteelBreaker, than I could be not awesome. =p
Speaking of Gorn, yeah, that would be my two choices, Gorn, the Armor Storm soldier, or Lord Borak, the Envoy (soldier dip).
The soldier class, in general, is solid in what he does, as long as the equipment stays level current.
The Envoy, we've seen, is good, but needs a combat love, and the dip helps that.
