[SFS OutPost Style] Starfinder 1-04: Cries from the Drift (Inactive)

Game Master GM Red

bounty hunter: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

profession (priest), tool kit, prof clothing: 1d20 + 8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 4 + 1 = 20

Thanks for playing, all. I hope you enjoyed the game despite some of the combat being a little on the slower side.

Some of you might wonder if I'm continuing with another SFS game. The answer is yes, though I don't yet know which scenario it'll be!

Thanks for running this for us Red! I had a great time with you all!

what the? I demand to know when!

Thanks Red, fun as always. Count me in for the next one if it includes some ship combat, be nice to give that a whirl.

I haven't decided when... Soonish :) And agreed, I'd also like to experience running Starship combat!
I'll have your chronicles ready by the end of the weekend.

I've played 1-04, but am game for any of the others. Although depending on the scenario, might bring someone other than Poppilo. :)

Thanks for running this for us GM, those were fun games! I won’t join for new adventures, having played or scheduled to play the other ones.

A rusty old robot wheels into Lorespire Complex and projects a hologram containing a Society record of your success.

Looks great Red! Maybe now is a good time to browse equipment a bit harder to see what's a good choice.

Thanks for the game, Red! I'm with Ehdd. Time to check for some new equipment options!

I'm going to run 1-03 next. There's starship combat.
We won't be getting started just yet, so take your time with your purchases.
Who else won't be joining us besides I-5?

I’ll be along for the ride, though I think I’m gonna bring my 702 character instead. I think I’ve got a good feel for Faraeon and can get him to 2nd on some GM credit.

I'll be around for the next one. I need to level him up first. Should have that done by end of tomorrow, as well as my purchases.

Thanks Red!

Yes, thanks Red!

I would like to play also, but would be bringing another character. (Basically, I'm working towards one character per faction, but using them for relevant games to enhance the role-play opportunities.)

So for 1-03, it would be a brand new character with one GM credit on him. A halfling ghost operative who is a good pilot (+10) and (to not step on a certain ysoki's tail) also a good gunner (+5 to attack). :)

Bringing 0689 for the next mission.
For the next mission, purchasing ring of resistance mk1 for 735 credits.
And purchasing a set of jump jets for 1000 credits and installing them into my android upgrade slot.
I will also spend 2 fame to get the Datephile's Champion boon.

Hmmm you know rodents bite right?

lolol

I think Ill empty the credit stick to purchase some armour. Will let you know before we start

FYI: There was a change made to Starship Combat DCs. We'll need this for the upcoming scenario:

ugh learning more rules... 'sticks head in sand'

So since we are aware of the starship combat, should we go ahead and call out spots.

Prefer Science officer or possibly engineering
Computers +10
Engineering +9
Piloting +8
Gunning +5

Prefer Pilot/Gunner/Engineer

+10 Piloting
+9 Engineering
+5 Gunnery

Ehdd read up on the captain actions you get to take the seat. You have good diplo and bluff.

This is kuey, previously of Poppilo, and now Davrin Emalon, the halfling ghost operative courtesan. :)

Sorry haven't had time to put up his profile page yet, and looks like I'll be getting another GM credit on him if that's ok. But still level 1.

For starship combat, he could be pilot or gunner:

+10 piloting
+5 gunnery
+5 computers
+7 bluff

Hey! Faraeon/Mjolbeard here with my new character for this one.

Chik-Chik would be helpful for the following skills in starship combat:

Science Officer (Computers +7)
Engineer (Engineering +9)

Geez we getting a whole new crew here or what? Ehdd finally intimidated Faraeon into Galactic obscurity I see. He will be sure to wear his victory hat this mission.

Nah! I’m just busy training for the next Grav-Run Tournament! Gotta keep in shape for the fans.

Notice the plural on fans there, by the way? That’s how it’s meant to be when you’re famous! :P

"Ohhhhthatwasa...BURNNNNN!"

Ok spent my credits down. Who doesn't like better armor?

I also made some tweaks to Ehdd so he isn't so combat horrible. I took the 'bardic song' type ability that gets people a boost to hit a target and took weapon focus small arms.

Not being able to do anything in combat besides hope for a nat 20 will only work so long...

And if I'm going to play Captain all the time I better take intimidate so I picked that back up.

*Edit: I also want to spend 2 fame to get the Wayfinder Faction boon... this certainly seems like their kind of mission. Do we have to guess on what 'extras' may come up for faction specific missions or? The Faction changes still stymie me a bit.

The good thing is the scenarios all tell you which faction(s) they involve and I'll always let you guys know ahead of time. By extras you mean boons?

I have no idea really. I assume there is a reason we can swap factions for each mission, and this mission in particular is screaming Wayfinders. Or am I reading too much into it.?

Might be reading too much into it. I see more as a flavor thing - you're a Starfinder agent and you can work towards the goals of any number of factions for however long you'd like. Some missions will have boons for the particular faction you slot, but that isn't always the case.

Alright. So if a particular mission has benefits from a particular faction then that's something we'll find out about at the start of a mission? I was reading there are different faction boons you can purchase with the right amount of fame in that faction, but I haven't read up on those super closely.

Either way, I need to use some of this fame so consider the faction champion bought anyhow.

Ehdd is ready-ish to fly himself a ship! Er... to tell someone else to do the actual flying!

Yup exactly, you'll always know ahead of time 1) what factions the scenario is centered around, if any, and 2) if it includes starships.

Hey guys, I'll be on vacation from today for a week. Posting is likely to be patchy. Please bot freely. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Nice I'll make sure to poke you in your good eye! Which is both of them!

Before I have the enemy ship move, the Science Officer (0689) and Captain (Ehdd) can also act in the Helm Phase if they wish to. Can someone bot 0689? I think he may be away.

Hey guys, turns out the 1-01 chronicle has an error on it. It gave you 509 credits, when it should have given you 753. Link here. Feel free to adjust this amount on your chronicle and mark down that it's an error.

Thanks Red! MOAR CREDITS

By the way, Ratatat, you owe us a Piloting check!

again?

Sorry for my lack of posting here lately. It has been one problem after another here. Starting off with my old trusty laptop dying on me. Then they redid the computer access at work, and paizo was blocked from the IP for being a not trusted site. Then when I got my laptop up and running, I got saddled with a trainee that will most likely being terminated after the new year, and it my job to do the final assessments.

So please bear with me while I play catch up.

no worries!

That was the perfect opportunity to say Too close for missiles, I'm switching to guns Ratatat. :P

lololol touche

Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays guys!
I may be able to get a post up today, but I'll generally be with family and friends most of the day. I'll be back in full swing tomorrow.

I've been hit with some sort of sickness the last 24hrs, hope to get caught up tonight.

Hey guys, just looking a few months ahead, I signed up for OutPost to GM Starfinder 1-04. If you guys are interested, I can roll that into our next game? Starts in March.

You know I'm in!
