Hmm's Incident at Absalom Station (Inactive)

Game Master Hmm

That sounds beyond awesome!

I can't wait to meet Big Jim.

Hmm

So... I know that Blake is in. I know that Shifty is in. Can the rest of you provide me a roll call so I know if all of you are still here?

Hmm

Still here, sorry had to get over a stomach virus. Getting better now though.

I'm currently thinking of a shirren soldier.

Still alive... still need to figure what I am going to play :P

My technomancer is going to be a working class guy who's never left Absalom Station.

He works in a lab technician kind of roll in the university but doesn't want to be stuck there forever and fancies that there are better prospects as a pathfinder.

I want him to have some dependants but can't decide between sick adults, siblings or pregnant girlfriend.

Changing my mind, going for a Mystic

Updated profile sheet

Alright, so I have one person suited up and ready to go. And it looks like we have one no-show, so I am going to invite Bret in to join us here as a player.

I would love to see everyone's characters in the next 2-3 days so that we can start on time.

Hugs
Hmm

Let me know if you want additional information or a different arrangement of the information on the subheader. :)

I have a Ysoki Technomancer with 2xp on it.

Otherwise I can start a new character.

Be a 1.2 like me :)

Reviewing the characters, it looks like we have:
Big Jim (shifty), mechanic
Hawthorne (Blake’s Tiger), mechanic
(geraintElberion), technomancer
(Psyblade),mystic
(DystopianDream), shirren soldier

I don’t know what ship roles any of these would take, but I’m guessing we really don’t need another technomancer.

Sounds like I should be looking at bringing in my Kasatha Solarian instead. He can be pilot or gunner, isn’t very good at any other position on the ship.

Thanks!

I have the character built and will transcribe tomorrow. I have been running a con all weekend (including overseering the multi) and now I'm wasted :p

here is my Mystic Warpriest, name to be determined and some minor cosmetics

@PsyBlade
What ship position did you plan to take with your mystic?

It is a really good idea for every Starfinder character to have 1 (ideally, 2) positions that they can fill on a ship. Even when you start out without a ship, you may still wind up having to deal with one at some point in the adventure.

Hmm

will either go for gunnery or the science officer, the other things aren't preferred skills for me, and with a minus to charisma, captain is out of the question

This is my (GeraintElberion) alias.

Character info to come.

Hawthorne can fill in anywhere. He's best at Engineering but only fractionally.

The Captain doesn't need Charisma unless you don't have any of the other skills.
E.g. Boosting the Engineer's morale is a DC 10+ship Engineering check or a DC 15+Ship Diplomacy check.

I have to check them over more, but I've put the basic information in my two profiles.

Neon Ten, my Technomancer.
Zeyram, my Solarian.

Given the other people in the group, I expect that Zeyram would help balance the group better.

Will have my character up and ready to go tomorrrow, just trying to decide which route I'm taking with the soldier.

I'm partial to a shirren in heavy armor. Big, scary Hylax-runed armor.

Hi guys, I'm very new to PBP and haven't yet played SFS PBP. I have played a few SFS games using a VTT and am fairly experienced with PFS on VTTs.

I just came across PBP gameday yesterday and it looks to me like this table is already full and the game will be starting in 4-5 days, but if a spot unexpectedly opens up, I'd like to sign up. Thanks!

Jim is vaguely up.

I am using PCGen to try it out, but the export system seems a bit wonky and I will re-format the layout to something better.

The main guts are there though.

Some more thoughts. I don't think that I will spoilering stuff for you to say that the first part of this mission will be an investigation. Having a mix of skills (including some social skills) in the group isn't a bad thing! If you guys can post with your IDs, and put characters into them, that would be great.

I would also love for you each to think of some excuse for why you were on an inbound shuttle coming into Absalom Station, and why you are planning to meet with a dwarven Starfinder named Duravor Kreel. If you're character has already done some work for the Starfinder Society, that's not hard to justify.

I'd love to see a paragraph of backstory from each of you. Where are you from? If you're from Absalom Station, where did you go that you're coming back from, and what did you used to do on the station?

Paris Crenshaw came up with an Unofficial Player's Guide to Dead Suns which I think might be okay getting you thinking about who you are, what you're like, and what you do. Although it's aimed more at people who are doing the AP on its own rather than people doing it as an SFS episode, I thought it might be helpful.

I have a small sense of Big Jim's personality from what Shifty had posted. I'd love to see the rest of you, and start up some pre-game RP soon.

Hmm

Hey, Shifty. As a mechanic, you don't need an engineering or hacking kit as our custom rigs serve both those functions. :)

Updated profile and created a very simple ITS to track spending and income.

Hmm, I planned on having Cadence be from Absalom Station, is that okay?

Maybe he’s been working on a satellite and just getting a lift back home?

That's fine. As I said, you just need a reason to be on a shuttle!

Hmm

Can I be piloting the shuttle?

Otherwise, I would be headed to Absalom Station in order to get a job -- preferably as a Pilot.

Ahhh nice catch! Cheers!

will update the char tomorrow during the day and put him in control! :)

I’m ready.

If you can give us a starting point (such as where we are boarding the shuttle from and headed towards) I’m willing to start some conversation.

I assume this is a small shuttle with everyone in one compartment like the Star Trek shuttles, rather than a more secure shuttle where the pilot area is blocked off. Give us some sort of starting point and I’ll try to work with it.

—

Those who hang around the hangers of Absalom Station may have met my character before. Let me know if you want that sort of connection. I think it would be especially easy to connect with a mechanic that fixes ships at the station.

I'd be fine with you piloting the shuttle.

Can we get you some sort of an avatar? I know that there are no kasathas, but I would love to have something there, even if it's only a symbol.

Hmm

So the adventure is very vague about where you were coming in from on that shuttle. Any objections to most of you coming in from work on Akiton, and then picking Cadence up on a satellite en route?

Hmm

This and the Ninja were all I found with a mask covering the mouth. If someone knows of a better one, please recommend it to me.

Travel time in system between planets is d6+2 days.

Travel time from a planet to a satellite is d8 hours.

Probably need a second pilot for the trip from Atikon.

We're overthinking this! However, I've now got you guys set up to chat in your shuttle and get into character.

Hmm

will post later, sorry, been a bit hectic, setting up appartment up for sale (with pictures taken today) so doing final cleaning touches, after that I need to rush to the vet for cat insuline :D

sorry !

Sorry for the delay. I will post up a bit of backstory on Xyklik later today.

Sorry, but I've had a family matter come up.

Please be understanding if I'm a little slow to update over the next couple of day as I work through it. Bot me as needed to keep the game moving.

Hey Gang... I may be a day late getting you launched. Family matters.

Hugs
Hmm

No sweat! Server outage and evening shift didn’t mesh well for me today anyhow.

Click. Whirr.

Simagus, I may have to upgrade my appearance to avoid confusion. May I note you're a very handsome artificial being?

I have changed Bot Buddy’s image so that it is no longer the same Orange Robot that Simagus is using. Speaking of Simagus, can you input your character sheet? At the moment, with no information, I am going to set your perception and initiative bonuses to 0 until I hear otherwise. Thanks!

Hmm

Oops, sorry, totally forgot it, will do it tomorrow in the morning.. it's NFL Game night atm so that is ehm... eating my time :D

I want to apologize the slightly heavy-handed opening, but the AP starts with you witnessing the shooting of Duravor Kreel in the middle of a gang shoot out without giving you any option of stopping it. Hopefully we can now disembark the plot railroad and get deep into the investigation now.

Hugs,
Hmm

We're all big kids that can strap into the Plot-coaster and go for the ride :)

If I can handle Strange Aeons, I think I can handle any railroad. ;)

Someone moved my pog significantly from where I had placed Hawthorne.

Was that Hmm or did someone get confused? if it wasn't Hmm, I would like to go back to the square immediately SE of Zeyram (taking cover behind those canisters).

It wasn’t me!

Hmm

Updated the char + sheet, should all be working!

Sorry for delay!
