Hello! I’m planning on running a group of space hero’s through the Dead Suns AP starting with book 1: Incident at Absalom Station. I’ve already got 2 slots filled and we are looking for 3-4 more before start on Monday the 16th of this month.
The ideal candidate should be able to post at least 2-3 times a day and once a day on weekends. Story progression will generally happen whenever at least 50% of the party has posted about it unless it’s something major that requires everyone’s input.
All Paizo materials will be allowed as well including all races with some of the more extreme ones requiring approval.
Looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with!

Greetings, everyone! I'm one of the two slots already filled. I'll be playing the no-Knowledge, no-Social Skills frontline grunt (Kasatha Soldier).
I believe the other slot taken is going to a Mystic.
Just to help you all decide what might be useful to add to the party.

The plan is a high int moderate wisdom star shaman mystic
I can move skills around to make room, or just aid people.
He's only recently graduated from Fitches Daycare on the master of stars (Fitch may or may not have noticed that his parents left him there) and is looking forward to becoming a pathfinder. He lost 3 relatives in the scoured stars incident, and is hoping to find information about it that will help get them out.

That must be something on the character sheet...
Now to get 50,000 credits....
Forgot to mention, I’d like to close submission by noon pacific time on Sunday

I'm interested in signing up if there's space. Is the plan to run just book 1 or the other books as well? The character I'd play may vary depending on how long term the plan is... thanks!!!
The plan is to do the entire AP, if you have something in mind just make an Alias and post here =D

I offer Ram Thura, the Nuar Operative, explorer extraordinaire.
Please also have the crunch of your character posted to the profile so I can take a look. And at least a few paragraphs of background
OK..... Geez! Looks like I didn't actually save it to the profile of the character. At work now. Will correct this when I get home. So sorry.
OK, I've got several concepts in mind. Either a goblin solarion, a goblin envoy, or a goblin mechanic. If it wasn't apparent, I enjoy goblins... Any preferences from anyone regarding what class I bring? If not, I may go Solarion only because I have not yet played that class...
Non-Combat Role: Face
Combat Role: Melee
Starship Role: Captain or Gunner
Non-Combat Role: Face
Combat Role: Support
Starship Role: Captain or Engineer
Non-Combat Role: Tech-Based Skills
Combat Role: Ranged Weapons
Starship Role: Engineer or Science
Oh I would love to join if you still have space?! An operative or a technomancer or a mechanic would be great! ;-)
Let's see, it seems we've got a soldier to take care of the frontline, we've got a mystic for the 'mystical' stuff, an operative for the under-the-table stuff, and if GM Nowruz can bring either a technomancer or mechanic, that takes care of some of the techie stuff.
This being the case, I believe I'll submit a goblin envoy for consideration! If someone else comes along who wants to play an Envoy, then I'll probably switch to solarion.
I'll work on getting my profile (including crunch) together for Handsome Gob!!

I had to recreate him. Backstory and all.
Added an 'm' to the end of his name to be more alien (I know it's stupid, but it works for me).
I realized I know next to nothing about this AP. Weird.
Anyway, here it is. Let me know what you think and any changes that need to be made.
Ramm, looks out the viewscreen at the orange gas giant surrounded by a dozen moons, a dozen potential worlds to explore. If only Suva could see this. She would have loved to see this. He thinks that every time, but orange is… was her favorite color. He begins to hum an old familiar tune as a tear rolls down from his eye.
”Come on, Suva. Just this one last time and we’ll have all the credits we’ll ever need. Then we can go gallivanting around the universe like you want. We’ll be able to buy our own ship. I’ve already put a downpayment on a runabout. That orange one you liked so much. We can live in style in the finest hotels or pick an undeveloped planet and live off the land. Whatever you want. I promise.” Famous last words.
Ramm could not bring himself to face Suva’s family. He couldn’t face his own family. He couldn’t even face his own reflection, so he ran. He ran straight for the stars that Suva so very much wanted to run to as well. He’s spent the last 10 years running away, visiting new galaxies, exploring new planets. Now he’s returned to Absalom Station. Home? He wants to make things right and, maybe find some forgiveness.

Gore (Ex) (Ex) A nuar can charge without taking the normal charge penalties to the attack roll or its AC. If the nuar has another ability that allows it to charge without taking these penalties (such as the charge attack ability from the soldier’s blitz attack fighting style), the nuar also gains the ability to charge through difficult terrain.
Maze Mind (Ex) (Ex) Nuars have a naturally strong sense of direction and an instinctive understanding of complex patterns. As a result, they very rarely get lost. A nuar can attempt a special level-based Wisdom check (1d20 + CR or level + Wisdom bonus) instead of using his total bonus in the Piloting skill to navigate or his total bonus in the Survival skill for orienteering.
Additional Info
In addition, a nuar with 1 or more ranks in Piloting or Survival also gains a +2 racial bonus to checks with that skill.

@Dax Thura, Ramm sounds good so far.
@GM Nowruz, go ahead and roll up a character and post from the alias so I can check it out.
@bigboom, same to you, please post from the alias
I've put together the beginnings of my character sheet here in my profile. I haven't purchased equipment or applied a theme yet, so that'll be the next couple things I add on! Theme will probably be space pirate from the Pact Worlds book.
Also, FYI, I have read the first two books as I've been planning to run the AP later on this year. Please let me know if this poses a problem!

Didn't think I'd get a few paragraphs out of him...
Brave explorers, intrepid adventurers, grizzled battle hardened veterens willing to pick up a blaster and head into the unknown dangers of the vast with nothing more than their wits and a blaster at their side. These are what you think of when you think of a Starfinder.
It is not how anyone would describe Justin.
Small, timid, and with more than a little fluff under his fluff Justin was content to learn about the universe from those who had seen it from the safety of his favorite papasan chair: after it had been veted by a respected publishing company and thoroughly peer reviewed of course. He'd even seen some incidents he knew his parents had been involved in, and was pretty sure he'd be seeing his sister mentioned by name eventually.
Both of his parents and his sister had gone off on some enormous expedition. His little sister was already at a school on Sol, but he'd been dumped off with "Auntie Fitch" on the Master of Stars and was content to be yet another ysoki mechanic crawling into tight spaces and replacing control modules. And then he got the call. He told Thoth to put it on hold until he could finish welding a few fuse plates into place. Other mechanics just bolted them on, but the specs called for them to be welded in so welded in they were. Once done he wriggled out and just barely missed picking up at the end of the message.
"Play it Thoth"
A jet black rat, enormous by ratfolk standards, waved at the camera. "Hey baby bro, I'm just out here exploring the galaxy." she dropped to a faux whisper "Hope you're not too busy with nap time to listen to this message that I've gone through a LOT of trouble to send you. Wave hello to mom and dad, we're on the same squad for this one!" the camera tilted to a pair of patchwork rats, waving over their shoulders from the helm. "Keep your" the message cut out in a weird golden light. The Ysoki tapped the pin sized computer on my tail a few times. "Your holoemiters on the fritz again?"
"No. The problem is with the signal itself. Although if you want to take another whack at properly seating the emitters I'm not going to object.
Weeks passed before the enormity of the situation set in. 80% of the starfinders lost. Justin put his name on the list of pathfinder recruits and while he did well on the written tests, his usefulness in the field left something to be desired. With zero combat training and less physical ability he was offered a support position, the master of stars was always hiring for its big retrofit...
Which was how he found himself back home, once again looking for Kirkath as he scurried through the maintenance shafts with his favorite telescope. Fitches kid was sneaky, and Justin was so depressed he was barely paying any attention. The alarm warning beeped three times before he noticed and had a moment to sigh ruefully before being sucked out of the airlock into the cold vacuum of space.
Per the manual, he finished exhaling from the sigh and covered his face in foam from his fire extinguisher before losing the ability to move. He tried to time how long it had been and remember how long until he'd lose consciousness, but time seemed to stretch out far long than it should have. He tried to reach out across space, as if he could somehow say goodbye to his family.
It wasn't his family, but something reached back. A luminous being extended a tendril of its existence out? Over? Into or through reality as it was understood. Time stopped as it considered why the being before it was in distress. It took it a thousand years and no time at all to comprehend atoms, molecules, biology, and the puzzling fact that the creature before it was so out of tune with its own universe that it could only survive in a fraction of a fraction of a percent of its wonderous glory. A glowing tenrdil reached into his brain, and SHOWED him dimensions of existence, ways of being, modes of thought beyond understanding. Justin stopped deteriorating, his existence stabilized, the light faded got closer and went to black.
"Hey, You're alive" the Kasatha doctor moved the light away from his eyes "Nice job with the fire extinguisher. You don't look like you were out there for two minutes. Justins brain was both too fast and too slow to keep up with Dr Jiaskusins four arms moving him about. But he saw Kirkath sitting on the next bed over, nursing an arm in his a sling.
"Kirkath is VERY sorry you got sucked out of the airlock. He said you're normally faster than that. He hurt his arm trying to go after you."
Oh right. His being was out of its own existance. Justin reached out a glowing white hand and just moved it back. The bone knit, muscles re aligned, and veins and arteries met and starting pumping blood where they should.
The doctor blinked in surprise over his veil. "Did you remember to put THAT on your resume?"
And so Justin found himself on a derelict little freighter heading to meet with a Dwarven starfinder of all things and surrounded by a motley assortment of fellow misfits. Looking at the small Ibis shaped pin on his tail
"Play it Thoth"
@handsome gob, it should be a problem Haath Chaar has as well.
Hi Friendly Sauce!
Thanks again but I believe there is a lot of interest and as I am in a couple of games already I would provide others with the opportunity to play.
Thanks again and have a great weekend!
I've updated Handsome Gob's profile with the Space Pirate theme applied and purchases made. Next, I'll fill in his backstory a bit more.
@GM Nowruz, no problem. I look forward to gaming with you again
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Going to be filling out Fevo's character over the next few days. Have basic backstory in profile, will put up stats and more detail tonight.
We are about halfway through recruitment, right now it stands:
the team:
Nefreet as Haath Chaar
BigNorseWolf as Justin Norveg
the candidates:
Bigboom as Handsome Gob
Dax Thura as Ramm Thura
Critzible as Egg
Dubious Yak as Fevo Ashroot
he there GM I was supposedly accepted in the other dead suns game but with the current posting frequency of that GM I am doubting the success.
was wondering if I could apply here in the event that game does not pan out.

I have yet to properly dip my toes into the Starfinder rules or mythos, but I guess gotta get into it sometime, right?
Are kobolds a playable race for Starfinder yet? Because just skimming through the classes, the Mechanic caught my eye, and when I saw the drones, I got this insane idea of a kobold piloting a dragon drone into danger (flamethrower "breath weapon", laser claws, bladed tail, rocket wings, etc.), who hopes to one day build his own "dragon" and found a homeworld of his own.
Updated my profile with stats. I'm willing to tweak the character to make sure that he does not step on any toes. Right now he is Sense Motive/Culture oriented with skills but if he and the operative are both picked I might shift from culture to Diplomacy or computers something.
I am really tempted to make him a SFS Data Jockey, but I think reluctant Divine Champion is pretty interesting.
I don't have the stats completed yet, but I thought I'd start with an introduction.
Kalhira is a young Kasatha, born on the Idari, and from as far back as she can remember she was fascinated by the worldship that housed her people. She learned everything that she could about it, hoping to one day become one of the engineers that maintained the ancient technology and preserved her home for the next generation. However, as she learned more about starship engineering and technology, she came to realize that her own peoples' knowledge on the subject was incomplete. Visiting starships from other people contained wondrous devices that she had never seen, and most visitors were not terribly understanding about her litany of questions and request to study their starships. Kalhira realized that if she was to truly make the Idari all that it could be, she would have to leave. To the sorrow of her family, she began to look for educational opportunities outside of the Idari, and settled upon Absalom Station, and the Starfinder Society.

Hi Captain Ford. There are no kobolds yet but there are a race called Ikeshti who are similar enough to kobolds in appearance if not culture, and there is the new Dragonblood theme from pact worlds so your idea could definitely work with some tweaking.

As a side note, I am saddened by the lack of Kasatha portraits :'(
Ikeshti... gonna have to have a look at these little guys. They DO look like kobolds, at first glance!

Egg warned his group of the possible threat even before they did the sale, but unfortuantely the leaders saw much more profit in selling to the Orc Warlord than cared about the double cross. That is when Eggs left on a junker and headed out on his won. he sold his skills here and there, as well as grabbing objects and selling them to other races as a legitimate reseller.
Eventually, he made his way to the pact worlds and has done decent work as a middleman, on top giving the Starfinder society a few nuggets of information here and there to add a few extra credits to his coffers. Still, his dealings came with a cost. He has a target on him now and even on Absalom, he is not safe. Egg now is looking for a mission to get him off the station and credits to keep him one step ahead of some very dangerous people. So he has officially accepted the offer of the Society and has come out of hiding to make it official!
I'm still looking into the mechanics of the Mechanic (and Starfinder in general), but I do have an alias and backstory set up! ...mostly!
I've been interested in trying out Starfinder. I'll work up a character for application.

Make sure to pay close attention to how to do stat arrays, it’s not like pathfinder, it’s just 1:1. Right now you look overspent.
Oh, it's 1:1? ...huh!
Also, what are the stat changes for Ikeshti? I found one that said +2 dex +2 int, and -2 wis...
Oh, it's 1:1? ...huh!
Also, what are the stat changes for Ikeshti? I found one that said +2 dex +2 int, and -2 wis...
That’s the correct one:
RACIAL TRAITS
Ability Adjustments: +2 Dex, +2 Int, –2 WisHit Points: 4
Size and Type: Ikeshtis are Small humanoids with the ikeshti subtype.
Desert Survivor: An ikeshti can go without water for 3 days plus a number of hours equal to her Constitution score before needing to attempt Constitution checks to avoid nonlethal damage.
Natural Climber: Ikeshtis have a climb speed of 15 feet. Shed Skin: As part of the action to attempt the check, an ikeshti can shed a portion of her skin to gain a +4 bonus to Acrobatics checks to escape from
grapples, pins, and restraints.Squirt Blood: See page 64. An ikeshti can use this
ability once per day plus one additional time per day for every 5 character levels she has.
Does not quite fit in the backstory I created, so Fevro has an interest in applying Agile development methodologies to adventuring groups.
They are a lot like research groups in that they are all highly skilled professionals that has a large number of responsibilities.
He thinks they could greatly benefit from the structure and responsibility that comes from empowering the people doing the work directly.

I'm planning to go with a drone, specifically a dragon one that resemble the dragon god his tribe worships. My plan is to use it as his main source of combat - if things get dicey, he runs to his dragon and mounts up. If I can afford it, I plan to purchase a flame rifle off the bat and mount it on the drone, so it actually has a breath weapon!
