PbP Gameday VII: SFS 1-12 Ashes of Discovery (Inactive)

Game Master Revvy Bitterleaf

This is where out of character stuff goes.

Thrilled to be here!

Me too, me too.

Will be back on the 17th, travelling, will post them. Just a heads up.
Cheers.

Chronicle in hand, leveled up, good to go. Will be purchasing Enhanced Targeting with 1 Fame prior to adventure.

My only boon slotted is Dataphiles Champion.

For starship battles, Dethara would prefer to be a Science Officer (+4) but she can also be a gunner (+2) or a psychotic and aggressive captain (+4 intimidate, +0 diplomacy).

My boons are Exo-Guardians Champion and Basic Hireling Access (Culture, Medicine, Survival).

(Mechanically,) Zapp would make a good captain (Diplomacy/Intimidate +7), a reasonable science officer or engineer (Computers/Engineering +5), or a mediocre gunner (+1).

Only boon would be Welcome to Starfinder Society Boon. Any suggestions what best to take? Elixir or tattoo?

Acquisitives Champion and Half-orc Admittance are my only boons.

Dalinar could either captain with a +6 Diplomacy or gun with a +2 attack. We should probably put Zapp at captain(hopefully he won't kill us all like his namesake) and me on guns.l

@ Zapp - I happen to know that you have the starship boon Hero of the Stars and I am counting on you slotting it so I can slot another.

I also happen to know that no one in their right mind would let Zapp be acting captain (but that it would nevertheless be fun to do so).

Boons Slotted:

Ally: N/A
Faction: Dataphiles Champion
Personal: Half-orc Admittance
Promotional: N/A
Social: Factions' Friend
Starship: Enhanced Targeting
Slotless: Digital Presence, Marked Field Agent, Starfinder Insignia, True Savior of Tasch

"Jack" is an adequate pilot and gunner, but prefers being on the ground (and has apparently spent some time under it!)

To summarize to see if I got this right:

Pilot Mec1 (1 rank - not sure how you get a +9 piloting (+3 dex, +3 trained, +1 rank..am I missing a bonus somewhere?))

Science Officer Dethara (+4)

Zapp would make a good captain (Diplomacy/Intimidate +7) -
(a reasonable science officer or engineer (Computers/Engineering +5)

"Jack" gunner? I guess turret?

Dalinar Gunner Forward guns?

Qip ..doesn't seem to have any stats listed. But he mentioned a mechanic so I'm assuming engineer here

And you guys pick the Pegasus for your ride

Everyone ok with that?
(You can switch positions between round if needed)

I've added a link at the top of the page to the map(s)

I've been told that some people prefer google slides over google paintings because it's easier to view on mobile devices.
If nobody here uses a mobile device and would prefer to go back to some other format let me know and we'll go with what's easiest for the majority.

Can everyone check to see if they can view the map and let me know if there are any issues with it?.

I still haven't figured out a better way to indicate where the ship is and what direction it is facing than using arrows so we're stuck with using that unless someone has a better way to do it.

You guys are the red arrow (since the Pegasus is red)
Your enemy is the blue arrow (since it's sort of grey-blueish)

@ Zapp - I happen to know that you have the starship boon Hero of the Stars and I am counting on you slotting it so I can slot another.

I also happen to know that no one in their right mind would let Zapp be acting captain (but that it would nevertheless be fun to do so).

Oh yeah, I forgot I had that. Also, I didn't notice you were here! Wasn't looking too hard at aliases. Nice to see you again!

Anyway, positions look good to me and I'll be slotting Hero of the Stars.

I will go with the pregen, and then make my own mechanic. This is my first starfinder game, so any help would be much appreciated.

@Qip; some helpful person converted all the pregen info to a pbp format you can find that here; Link

If you copy&paste that in your alias profile (in the correct places - it mentions where certain things have to go) it's easier to track what's going on with your character

I just realized you said first Starfinder game and not Play-by-post game so feel free to format it in another way if that works beter for you/you are used to that

If you have any questions; just ask. If you are not sure if it works..either ask or just try to do it - if it doesn't work someone will tell you.

Starfinder from what I can tell so far (I've only played tier 1-4 scenario's so far and mostly low lvl) is pretty forgiving on how you build a character with 1 exception - Space combat. You'll want to have at least 1 skill you can use during space combat (engineering/computers should be fine for that).

So when you build your own character just build/take what ever you feel will be the most fun to play.

Map works great for me.

Seems we need to switch some stuff around since Mec-01 took on engineering as well. You are currently without a pilot..which you can do within the rules but it means you are drifting around a bit.

Jack mentioned being an adequate pilot so maybe Jack wants to take a seat behind the wheel next round?

Forum sort of seem to work some of the time, so slowly picking up the game again

Some posts don't seem to stick, no clue why some do and some don't *(die roller maybe?)..but next round of combat is delayed since I can't make my other post stick...

Oh hey, things are back! Not sure to what extent, though. The site is still telling me there may be issues.

Hey, I think we're back.

I thought this was gonna be a biker mice from mars reference when I saw the description. Throttle and Vinnie seals the deal, this is great.

Glad to hear I was able to describe what I was going for ;)

And all though I made it a bit more obvious with giving them names than the scenario does it's all in there so I must not have been the only one who has been trying to go for the Biker Mice from Mars reference.

I am heading out to a convention early tomorrow afternoon. I will be returning Monday. I expect to be able to get in a few short posts until then, but if not, feel free to bot me.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Thanks for the heads up, enjoy your convention.

Sorry, week was madness, hope things quiet down now.

No worry, real life happens.

Maybe medicine is to help with the stone in his side?

Yeah..but the scenario specifically mentions;

So by the wording you can use medicine to free him from a leg trapped by a piece of the building. Maybe it's just me, but the first thing I thought off when I read this was amputation....which seems a bit drastic.

Sorry for being so quiet, but had an interview on Monday and then get ready for the new job.

No problem, real life happens.

Welcome back.

Thanks for a good game, everyone!

I don't think we've rolled for the chance to win a gameday boon yet.
Everyone can roll. On a 19 or 20 you get a player boon (roll a d2 to see which one you get)

And you need to supply me with the email adres you'd want to have your boon mailed too if you end up winning one

I'll start on your chronicles, I hope to have them out by Satuerday

Boon-Yah!: 1d20 ⇒ 16

Boo. :(

Zapp needs his boon: 1d20 ⇒ 14

Curses!

Anyway, that was plenty of fun! Thanks to all, especially the good GM.

Boon: 1d20 ⇒ 14

Thank you for the game, GM and players !

Gimme a boon: 1d20 ⇒ 2

Yep, had a good time. Thanks everyone.

@ All - Thanks for a fun game!

@GM Revvy - Thanks for running!

1d20 ⇒ 7

Great game, thank you for running.
1d20 ⇒ 9
Can you please make the welcome to Starfinder boon my first chronicle?
Found here: http://paizo.com/include/WelcomeToStarfinder.zip
Would be great, thank you.

Anything for factions to roll or to do? Quip will at least report back to them. Just wondering.

Oh, I had the welcome boon since a long time. So this welcome boon is my first chronicle. The one for this game will be the second one. I didn't say because until now the players had to write down the number of their chronicles.

Great game, thank you for running.

1d20

You get to pick one faction for which you get a free membership boon - you only get reputation for a faction for which you have a faction boon slotted (and sometimes a scenario gives you an extra faction reputation for a fixed faction).

You can buy other/more/better faction boons with the reputation you earn and when you multiple boons you can choose which faction to champion for that scenario by slotting the boon you want

Boon roll because GM also get's one: 1d20 ⇒ 9

I'm missing some info;

Harrowed Jack; I think I have everything needed for reporting. Do you want me to mark that you checked a box for True Savior of Tash on your chronicle somewhere?
Dalinar: I'm missing your SFS number, I know it's -705 but I can't find what's in front of that
Pete Zero; needs to pick a faction
Zapp Branigan: Unless I'm overlooking it somewhere I can't seem to find your SFS number
Mec-01; I think I have everything needed for reporting
Dethara; Unless I'm overlooking it somewhere I can't seem to find your SFS number

Unless someone has a profession/dayjob they want to roll for?

I've started with sending out PM's to people for which I have all the info and managed to finish it with a link to the chronicle.

If you notice something that isn't filled in correctly please let me know and I'll fix it (I've been known to make an copy&paste error in the past here and there)

I'm member of the Dataphiles faction. How can I get a free membership boon?

From the guide (page 22)
FACTION BOON SLOT
Every faction offers unique boons that allow a character to
champion that faction. As described in Appendix 1: Character
Creation, characters receive a champion Faction boon for one
of the five major factions during character creation. The name
of these boons is universally [Faction Name] Champion. These
boons allow the character to earn Reputation with the associated
faction after successfully completing a scenario. Throughout a
character’s career, she can purchase additional faction champion
boons to allow her to champion additional factions.

SFS#: 170784-705

Profession Royalty: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

Day job

#276820-706

Sorry!

I should really start putting those in character profiles! Zapp's number is 150618-705, thanks for the reminder.
