Too tired to concetrate on posting right now. Maybe the afternoon.
I will be camping this weekend and not posting until Sunday. 'Bot me if needed.
Hey, guys.
Sorry I haven't posted much lately. I had to work extra time two weekends in a row. I've been pretty beat lately.
Next two weekends though I have extra time off, though so hopefully I'll get my energy back soon.
------
In the meantime, Thuldas: can you post the final load-out for the ship? I didn't get an answer last time I asked, and we're going to need the stats soon.

Hello folks.
I'm afraid I've been bedridden for several days. My stomach is still in knots but I'm starting to feel better and I hope to catch up soon.
Take your time and get healthy. Hope you feel better soon.
What Stell said! Getting well is a lot more important than a PBP game
Okay guys, I'm back, and trying to get caught up on all my games.
You've got a space battle on your hands, but you were expecting it. Have at them!
If any of you guys are in Canada, Happy Thanksgiving!
Those of you in the US, Happy Columbus Day (or Happy "Guy Who Was Looking For China and Ended Up In Puerto Rico" Day).
Due to an unexpected meeting today at work, I'll not have time to post until late this evening, if then. We also may have issues with power outages associated with Hurricane (Tropical Storm?) Michael passing through Virginia this evening. Sorry for the delay. 'Bot me as needed to keep things moving.
Wow, I just barely survived a starship battle in another Starfinders campaign where 7 out of 8 rolls were sub-nat-10. Now were in that mode again. I hope I'm not a jinx.

Wow, that nuclear missile did a lot of damage. If you can sustain those hits this fight may not last that long.
Which isn't a bad thing, necessarily.
Guys, did we end up generating a loot spreadsheet?
I'm just thinking about whether I need to up the final rewards for the adventure.
I've been keeping track of party funds on my character sheet, but I don't believe I've shared this with the party yet.
Okay, I put together a Loot Spreadsheet.
The spreadsheet doesn't keep track of individual "wallets" - I could do that but it would get more complex. By my calculations the party has a total of 1998.5 credits floating around unspent.
I am also putting consumable items like serums and grenades under "party use" since once you use them they are gone.
A few things remain unclear:
Who took the Graphite Carbon Skin Armor? It is light armor, and you got it for completing the junkrace.
Edit: Looks Like Dawn has it.
Who took the Iridescent Spindle Aeon Stone? It was on the crashed ship, and it means you don't need to breathe (so it is useless to Dawn).
Iolas took the frostbite rifle and Thuldas took some armor, the datajack, and the Ring of Resistance, so they seem to have the most value of goods at the moment. Wint has the least, and what he's picked up is just consumable stuff.
Dawn has leveled up to 2!
+6 SP, +6 HP
+1 BA
+1 Will
+1 rank in all previous skills
Channel Skill: +1 insight bonus to Perception and Sense Motive
Mindlink
I'll look over the loot and compare to what I've recorded on Stell's profile. Stell does not have any big purchase items on her wish list so far. Will level up soon.
Whoo-hoo! Level-up time! Very exciting. Big things for Thuldas include his first magic hack (fabricate tech) and a couple new spells, fabricate scrap and junksword.
Junksword will come into its own at third level (when its 1-1/2 weapons specialization kicks in), but fabricate scrap will mean Thuldas is only a full-round action from conjuring up a fire extinguisher (or any other tech item of 3rd level or lower).
I’d personally like to see conjure fire extinguisher. Any case, I’ll have Iolas updated this weekend.
Turns out I had time to update Iolas tonight.
+6 SP, +6 HP
+1 BAB
+1 Reflex and Fort
+1 rank in all previous skills except Athletics
+1 rank in Medicine
Mechanic Trick: Tech Tinkerer
Stell is leveled up.
BAB increased to +1
Reflex increases to +5
Will increases to +4
SP increase by 6 to 12
HP increase by 6 to 16
Skills +10 ranks
+1 rank in Athletics, Bluff, Computers, Engineering, Medicine, Perception, Profession, Sense Motive, Sleight of Hand, and Stealth. (Closer to Skill Monkey status)
New Envoy Improvisation: Get 'em. Allows her to designate an enemy against whom everyone gets a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls for the round.
I'll have to see if there is anything she can get with her credits. Might just save them for now. Might get some grenades.
Stell will take the ioun stone.
Iolas: Do you want to split the incendiary grenades? You and Stell are the only ones with grenades proficiency, I think.
Do the values at the top of the loot spreadsheet for each character include the 500 credits we just received?
Stell did eventually get the medicinal sedative. I've got her as having just 4 credits as of when we left for the last adventure. The list of income and spending is under the spoiler labeled Economics.
The values at the top of the sheet show the sell value* of all the items you have. It doesn't include cash because cash has no impact on your character's abilities until you actually spend it. However, for your starting gear I just assumed 1000 credits of stuff for everyone rather than figuring out what exact gear you had at the start.
I haven't added the credits yet but they will improve "Cash Available" by 2500.
I figured that in cases where one character gets more actual items from the loot pile, you might allow characters that didn't take stuff to have more cash. How you actually spend the cash or divide it is up to you.
I could re-do the sheet so that each character would have a separate "Wallet" so cash would be tracked by character but that would take some more work.
* Note: some items, mainly implants, cannot be resold and are useless once removed. But they still show up here since they affect the value of your character's overall gear.
When part of a long running adventure path or campaign, I'm happy to divide usable items on a basis of who can get the best use of it for the party's benefit and divide the rest evenly.
One useful practice is to divide the available cash with an extra share that is for expenses that benefit the group, such as healing serums.
With 5 characters, 4508 divided 6 ways is 751, rounded, with 753.5 in the group account.
There's another way that factors in items kept for use that is good if you are worried players may resent one PC getting more goods to keep and use than others, but if no one is worried about that (I'm not), then let's just divide cash 6 ways. If Dawn or Wint don't have enough cash to get something important, just let the rest of us know and I'm sure we'll be willing to take lesser shares of cash to make that work.
That method works for me. Dawn isn't making any purchases at this time. Trying to save credits up for a bigger ticket item.
Sorry, life got away from me. I won't be able to level Wint up until tonight. Feel free to start the next adventure, I should have him updated before we have to roll dice :-)
Assuming we divide the cash 6 ways, as suggested above, Stell will sell her old second skin armor and purchase a set of Freebooter I armor. That will leave her with 30 credits. Her EAC and KAC will go up by 1.
Guys, I'm going to go ahead and start the intro for the next mission. Leveling and shopping don't need to be finished until you are ready to leave.
Stell can take the grenades. I’ve no great use for them.
Working extra hours again last night. Next post this afternoon or evening.
Stell uses 100 credits from the group share to buy a radiation badge. She will wear the badge unless someone else wants to wear it.
Stell has the incendiary grenades listed on the spreadsheet.

I was wondering if this could be updated so that it shows the weapon ranges in map hexes. Also, I'm in two Starfinder Play-by-Post campaigns and in one, the GM house ruled some of the Starship Combat with modified speed rules. Was that you or my other campaign? I don't have time to look through all the past discussion threads of both campaigns to find out at the moment. Thanks.

Okay, Can do. Also yes, this is the campaign with the reduces speed and ranges. Note that under speed it says "4 hexes."

Guys: I've been having internet connectivity issues the last few days. My connection has been going out for long periods. I'm hoping that the problem is over but I can't say for sure.
I'm going to try and get caught up but since my window for posting may be limited I will handle threads that require short posts first.
Uh, what is happening? We done?
Your guess is as good as mine. It seems our GM has gone missing (he's playing a PC in another game of mine, and hasn't posted there either). I hope he's alright.
Certainly be a shame if it was. Been having a lot of fun with this one.
I'm going to put this game into my inactive pile.
If it starts up, I'd appreciate it if somebody could PM me
I'll be glad to resume it if the GM can get back to us.
I wonder if we could get a GM to pick this campaign up. Since this is a SFS module, it should be straightforward to resume under a different GM. Should we post something in a recruitment thread?
