I have just finished filling out Raia's stats. Thank you so much for the template out of the PbP GM Kit, Hmm! It made the whole process as simple as copying and pasting from the pregen pdf. I haven't filled out the boting spoiler yet, because I still don't know how the game plays, but I'll get to it once I have perused the rules. Speaking of which...
*boing boing* Just one sleep until the PDF if released!!! *boing boing*

Does this adventure have a boon that need for starting first or for the wayfinders?
I am not 100% sure of what you mean.
re. Reputation: you apply the chronicle sheet of this adventure to a character (when that character reaches level 4), and "when applying credit, any Reputation gained during an adventure can only be applied to a faction for which the character receiving the credit already has a champion Faction boon" (so if you have Wayfinder Champion on the character receiving credit, he/she(it) gets Wayfinder Rep'.

Yes indeedy! Here's the link. It was announced in a blog post a few days ago, along with the SFS Guild Guide ;)
| GM Hmm |
Ha, thank you guys for answering each other's questions!

Well, "We" are here to Play together à new Game.
For my opinion, i think this is great that we help each at playing this game. It will level up the feeling that we are a group. In the same time, a better player will mean a better fun at seeing him act.

I am back to putting Quig level 4's stats into my 'alias'.
I stopped when I found the first mistakes.
And now I am finding more, but will go on ahead anyhow.
Really depressing... to put it mildly.
It was an appalling job, whoever did the pregen, and was proofed by someone having never ever having played Pathfinder in their lives.
I mean, just look at his stats':
Str 8 (–1); Dex 14 (+2); Con 12 (+1); Int 16 (+0); Wis 12 (+1); Cha 11 (+1)
Woot! I get a free +1 to CHA although I only have 11.
Oops... better not have many INT rolls to do, since my Rat brain of 16 only gives me a +0.
Way to go Starfinder!
Anyhow, I'll enter it all in and make a list of all the mistakes, and then just play this mutant character with random stats.
| SFS Pregen #1 - ShieldBug |
That sounds like a bummer! I have noticed that in the file that I downloaded, the Level 4 Mystic has a different version of Quig in it (+3 for Int modifier is the only change I can see) and that the other levels look to be more accurate. I'm pretty sure that they released a new version of the community package soon after, but with my slow connection I haven't tried downloading it yet. Maybe you could try downloading it again and hope for the best?
| GM Hmm |
Have you downloaded these again? Apparently, they revised and corrected some of these errors!
Hmm
| SFS PreGen #1 - Eric C. |
I'll stop being grumpy and do as you say!
Thanks
SAME THING: Quig lvl 4 is a total mess
(lvl 1 and 8 seem okay, but lvl 4 is nonsense)
| GM Hmm |
Bah. Get a list together, and I'll ping Thursty with it!
Hmm
| SFS PreGen #1 - Eric C. |

Okay!
I started.
Will work on it tomorrow.
Will take a little time because I am recounting everything to see where the mistakes are.
I think they just forgot some things... (INT 16 +0 bonus is a mistake, but they did calculate most things with the +3 bonus ) but others do seem screwed up (+3 BAB +2 DEX giving +4 ranged attack etc.).
Will do as complete a job as I can checking all
| SFS Volandis Pregen |
OK Keskodai appears to be good to go now! :)
| GM Hmm |
Hey guys, tomorrow is the big day! My plan is to give you a little light RP outside the Lorespire Complex so that you can all get grounded in your characters and then get you into the mission briefing.
One thing you should know for this mission... You're not Starfinders. You're mercenaries that the Starfinder Society has hired!
Who is excited to go? Does anyone need help getting their characters set up? Lupus, are you still with us?
Hmm
| SFS Pregen #1 - ShieldBug |
The more I read the CRB, the more I'm loving it. All the classes look like fun, the Ysoki are just adorable (my first character has changed completely since seeing the pictures and descriptions on the Ysoki race page), and there a so many great story hooks in the setting section! After a week of having the rules and not being able to play, I think it's fair to say that I'm pretty darn excited to get going tomorrow :)
| SFS Volandis Pregen |
I was involved in my local lodge release weekend event, but now i have SO MANY character ideas i want to try out...
I'm also going to be joining an IRL group that is playing the AP - so Starfinder has me hooked already!
The more i can play the better, and i'm even going to GM my first SFS session in a couple of weeks too. 1st Nova here i come! :)
| GM Hmm |
I'm very excited!
Do we all know eachother already or are we hired together for the first time?
I am good with your guys all knowing each other as a team... but I'll leave that up to you. I'll probably give you a day or two of RP to get into your character's heads before starting you off with the mission briefing.
I GMed this at GenCon, and LOVED it!

Super excited!
I am reading more of the background in the CRB, and some really beautiful and poetic backgrounds and story hooks... (the sunken cities in the Sun! etc.).
I have worked over Quig and Scout and will send the info' in a bit.
| SFS PreGen #1 - Eric C. |
Okay, updated my sheet for Quig & Scout. Ready to rock, rodent, n'roll! (space cheese?).
...have a few typos or mistakes:
- A - for QUIG
- page 1 -
Fort +3; Ref +1; WIll +3
[should it not be Fort +5; Ref +6; WIll +2 - From Mechanic lvl 4 being +4 +4 +1, adding Con +1 Dex +2 WIs +1]
Ranged
Tactical semi-auto pistol +4 to Hit
[should it not be +5 - From +3 BAB +2 DEX]
Statistics
Int 16 (+0) Cha 11 (+1)
[should it not be Int 16 (+3) Cha 11 (+0)]
Skills
Acrobatics +6 (+10 to tumble through the space of a creature of Medium or larger size)
[should it not be (+11 to tumble…) since Moxie - under Ysoki racial - gives “a +5 racial bonus”]
- page 2 -
under Explosives: “these have the some”, should it not be: “these have the same”
- A - for SCOUT
(mainly questions)
+7 to attack
[How does Scout get this +7? He does not have Weapon Profiency Small Arms, which is listed as a Feat Drones can take. Thus Scout should have -4 to attacks for not being proficient, thus +3]
1d6+2 damage
[How does Scout get +2 damage? No Weapon Specialization taken, so?]
Perception +8
[I imagine this is correct. Just wondering: Scout gets +2 Insight bonus to Perception from Enhanced Senses, so I imagine that Scout alone should have +1 Perception from his -1 WIS and +2 Insight, or else Quig looks through camera and gets/gives +8 to Perception (Quig's score) but then Quig does not benefit from Enhanced Senses for +10 Perception?]
Languages: Common, Ysoki
[the Drone can speak?! Quig's background even explains that Quig pretends to speak to a silent drone...]
| GM Hmm |
You will be handed a ship.

I have the Welcome to Starfinder boon in .pdf.
Do you have it Dearest GM Hmm? (not sure I can send attachements via PM)
| GM Hmm |
How did you get hold of the .pdf?
Was it in an event package?
Because I do not have it in an event package! Yes, I want it if it got sent out as part of event support!
Hmm

@Eric
How did you get the pdf? If it's it's VO accessible would you let me in on the location. If not are you able to share? i would appreciate it as I would like to have for my games booth in Gameday and in person. I can PM you my email if it is easier.
Edit: Oh HMM i made a small addition to my slide deck we discussed earlier if you wanted to take a gander again.

Free "bullets"!
Maybe you all spotted this in the FAQ:
Most weapons are sold fully loaded, and their listed bulk includes the bulk of their ammunition. For weapons that are sold without ammunition (such as grenade launchers and missile launchers), the bulk listed with the weapon is still the bulk of a fully loaded weapon.
Just in case you missed it... I love it (I created a Soldier, with a pistol... but no bullets! Had no Credits left after Heavy Armor and Pike!).

Poblano, I added the PDF to my New PBP GM Kit in my header.

Hello Hmm,
I am running the Quests, starting in a few minutes , and will credit them to my -706 (the character that will get the credit from this scenario with Quig, if we survive).
That will make this scenario sheet (from this adventure) 101218-706's number 2.
(seems like this is okay since I am finishing this on the 25th, just as we start the RP, so okay to credit the Quests run today before/as we start this scenario?).
| GM Hmm |
That works for me. I haven't posted box text yet, though we have started the pre-game RP to get you guys in character!
| GM Hmm |
It looks like six of us have checked in, so I'll be moving you on to the mission briefing tomorrow or Monday. (I may have to take part of Sunday off for family stuff...) Thanks for some great introductory RP, guys!
Hmm

The pleasure is all mine HMM. Glad to be able to play at your 'table'

| SFS Volandis Pregen |
Yeah this is fun so far. I'm looking forward to seeing where the adventure takes us.
| GM Hmm |
I still haven't rolled box text! It's so much fun playing with the setting. Still, I swear that you are going to get a mission briefing someday!
Hmm
| SFS Pregen #1 - ShieldBug |
Hehe, no hurry. I'm having a blast so far :)
| GM Hmm |
So...
Altronus: This kasatha solarian serves as a modest captain but has few other starship-relevant skills beyond being a backup gunner.
Iseph: This android operative is the best pilot, but would also make a good science officer or engineer.
Keskodai: This shirren mystic does not particularly excel at any role on a starship, but would make a decent captain or science officer.
Navasi: This human envoy can serve in any role on the starship well but is best suited as the captain, pilot, or science officer.
Obozaya: This vesk soldier is best as a gunner but would also make for a fine—if domineering—captain via use of the Intimidate skill.
Quig: This ratfolk mechanic makes an excellent engineer or science officer.
Raia: This lashunta technomancer makes a good engineer, science officer or pilot.
______
I am going to let you discuss for a little bit what ship roles you want for your characters, and also give you a chance to look over ship stats in both the maps and the folder!
| GM Hmm |
Starship Combat is not the be all or end all of this game. And having two gunners can be great!
BTW, I want to thank Poblano for making my life easier by letting me copy his slide set and modify it...
| GM Hmm |
So Europe is in bed right now. Should we check in tomorrow with ideas for everyone's ship positions?
Hmm
| SFS Pregen #1 - ShieldBug |
I'd be happy with the science officer role if it doesn't leave any gaps in the crew :)
But, yeah it's late here and I'm just about to turn in for the night. If there is further discussion in the mean time, I don't mind going for mechanic or captain if required.
| SFS Volandis Pregen |
I've not gone to bed yet, though i likely should be ;)
Kekodai isn't a great science officer with computers +5, but with diplomacy +8 i guess captain could work.
| SFS PreGen #1 - Eric C. |
Quig jumps up and down: "Engineer be me, engineer be me!"
I am best as Engineer, Science Officer second... and the rest pretty far down the line (though I could grab a gun if need be).
Engineer
+13 Engineering
Gunner
+5 Gunnery
Science Officer
+11 Computers
