| The Death of Kortos IV | Fly Free or Die | | Ship Roles |

Welcome to my Play-by-Post!
Here's the ctrl+P for all my games:

1. I've been running games since the late 1980s, I've seen a lot of editions. I started playing PFS with Slot 1 Season 0 at Gen Con. I'm solid with the PFRPG rules, but everyone makes mistakes. I'll try to be as fair as possible. But this is STARFINDER! I'm brand new to the game like the rest of you. Please do not be shy about pointing out rules, etc. THis is going to be a learning experience for all of us.
2. I'm a Venture-Lieutenant for Southern NH. If you're ever in the area, or you need help finding games/conventions there. PM me.
3. I post with a high rate of frequency. That being said, if you guys can post 2-3 times per day, awesome. If it's only 1/day I understand. No worries. Real Life Comes First (tm).
4. Feel free to preemptively roll Perception, Disable Device, etc. It makes the game run more efficiently. I ask only that you make sure minis are placed in their actual position in case your choices have consequences (good or bad.)
5. Let's get started:

Boons Applied:
Day Job: Feel free to roll now.
Perception and vision/senses:
Initiative:
Notes: Anything I should know; passive abilities, boons that are way out there, etc. If you have abilities that are immediate actions that interrupt an enemy, I'll be as fair as possible, but you can help me out by telling me under what conditions you typically use it.

A brightly colored Vesk hesitantly enters the Discussion thread, pushing up her military-grade specs on her eyes.

"So, ah, like ah, I was ah, sent to ah, um, help with this Commencing job and um, did I find the right place?"

Still fleshing out Flush here, she's a Vesk mechanic with an Exocortex and would be a 'nerd' in any other species. For Vesk, it's a bit different, though that's probably why she's working for the Society.

Details still to be confirmed.

Here

I'm (incredibly slowly) downloading the CRB today, and i'll get to cracking on my concept. I have two front-runners. A human Operative and an Android (who could end up being a Mystic, Envoy, or something else, depending on what inspiration strikes me as I read through the book).

Not that that needs to shape what other players bring in. It's our first SFS characters; we're thinking long-term (and for other groups/games) with these guys, right? :)

As I'm looking through the book and trying to get inspired, I'm leaning heavily towards Tomas Thorne: human spacefaring Ghost Operative for the Exoguardians. Basically, he's a deep-space pilot, scout, and detective for that faction, going in first to help assess threats.

A forgettable-looking young man with the slight stature of those who grew up in low-g walks in. He's wearing a mishmash of spacer clothes over well-worn second skin. A sidearm is strapped to his hip and a heavy-duty travel-packhangs over one shoulder. He gives the docking bay and its inhabitants a sober inspection.

"I heard this crew needs a pilot?"

Still working on the mechanics (i.e. learning them), but I'm pretty dead-set on Tomas being my character for this game. :)

Tomas became Jaynix (after a story and personality shift). :)

This is still Eben's character.

So a Boon question. If this is our first Starfinder character (and game), there's no way for us to have a Boon slotted, huh?

You can have one faction Champion boon slotted.

"So, ah, I was ah, at this convention this ah, past weekend and ah, I got these uh, two 'Boons' that go on a starship, apparently. Do, ah, I need either ah, one of them?"
| The Death of Kortos IV | Fly Free or Die | | Ship Roles |

Ha! Good to meet you in person. Next year I'm going to wear a Dungeon Master S pin I think. Yeah, it's a normal scenario, so you can slot your boons.

I thought I read that, but I'm still a little confused. It says those champion boons cost 2 Fame, correct? But a fresh character has no fame. Am I misreading/misunderstanding how it works?

I'd certainly love to have that one in place, if possible.

You get to pick one to start with for free.

What I am not sure is whether you already have to have fame with the faction that you are acquiring a new champion boon with. Various scenario's give you the ability to gain fame with scenarios whether you have their champion boon slotted or not, so that might be the intention. But it's pretty unclear.

Indeed. It can only be applied to you -701 character.

Oh, excellent. Do I just download it and pick which option I want for Jaynix? Do you need to sign the doc before it's valid? I just missed the window for updating my Boons, so here's what I think is appropriate:

Please, please, please don't be afraid to make info-gathering rolls and contribute based on what party members do/say.

I've been at a few tables in the past in PFS (amd other campaigns) where players refused to have their characters make appropriate rolls 'for fear of spoiling the scenario' and the mission outcome went from positive to very negative.

"So, ah, hmm. I ah, have this list of things I've ah, um, gotten here." Flush offers, pushing her military-grade spectacles back towards her eyes some.

Military-grade spectacles The glasses, they do nothing mechanically.

List of gear:

List of Purchases:
Gill Sheath
Survival Knife
Assault Hammer
Hidden Soldier Armor
Cable line, titanium alloy
Binders
Hygiene Kit
Ready To Eat Mealsx2
Consumer Backpack
Travel Clothing
Pulsecaster Rifle

Current currency after recent mission: 776 credits remaining

Boons:

Welcome to Starfinder(Slotless)--Elixir of Renewal
Automated Starship Defenses OR Broad Arc Upgrade (Depending on briefing)(Starship)
Friend of the Ghilbrani(Social)(Probably won't come into play)
Faction Champion Boon (If first one is 'free') Dataphiles

Have we heard from the remaining 2 players? Should someone PM them?

I connected with Qstor via PM, and he (she?) said they'd have to bow out, saying they signed up for too many GameDay Scenarios. I couldn't find JamIlla's account.

So we need to track down Jamzilla, or just recruit 2 new players.

I'm also okay running with 4. I'll put the word out to some, and if we get them before dice start rolling, awesome.

Cool. :)

sorry for delay in posting, internet down for the 3rd time yesterday at home, should be able to be back to normal posting again

Just a heads up, I'll be AFK from 1500 EST today until about 2000 EST Monday. I'll be able to sneak in a post a day, but that's likely it.

Flush is, but I don't want to hoard the Dataphile loaned rifle if someone else is a better shot with it?

Why don't you take it then.

Also, going to be away from the 'Net for the most part this weekend while at a convention, so from Thursday until Monday my posting will be sporadic at best.

It's pretty obvious what Flush is working on, and what her motivations are if she needs bot'ing in that time period.

Hey guys, starting from about 2100 EST tonight until Saturday noon, I'm in 1 post per day territory. I'll try to make that post in the afternoon so others have enough time. By Saturday night I'll be back to normal.

Work is also going to be kicking my but this week. I have the state secretary of education coming and I've got to meet with him. I'll report the table ASAP, and get chronicles out. I may have to do just the basics on the chronicles, but I trust you guys to write in your names etc.
