And let me know if I can do anything to help speed up combat or make the game more enjoyable!
Please note I am fairly flat out at work trying to get a report finished by the end of this week... apologies that posting has been scarce - and please GMPC as needed - normal service should be resumed next week!!!
Seems like everyone is busy :).
Ok guys, barring any oddities, this is pretty much the end of Book Two.
How did it go? Any concerns? Do we want to continue?
We can just montage the mopping up of the junk-bots, yes?
Yay Book 2! And just about 1 year exactly since we started!
I've enjoyed it, and if you've got more GMing in you, I'd be happy to continue. (Though I'll warn that I have a hectic schedule over the next month and will probably be off-grid for a few days at a time in places.)
Hrm. it seems like Sharae is busy too. Maybe we can pick back up in July or something?

I'm just in the middle of a big hit work wise... it'll sort itself out over the next week or two so happy to keep things bubbling along with RP type stuff and working out Sharae's next level :)
And awesome, Book 2 put to the sword!!! Great work GM and I'm dead keen to see what's next for our intrepid explorers...
Cool. Glad to see everyone is enjoying themselves!
Gear post up. Will put up Scrapwall reaction post up in a bit.
All over except for some Roleplay and levelling up to get ready for Book 3!
Leveling up -- on the alchemist side, looks like major thing is bombs bump up to 4d6, and my first 3rd level extract.
On Ranger side, I'll pick up a new ranger trick -- Sharae, I'm open to suggestions if there's any you think would be esp. useful to aid you?
Feat, thinking Boon Companion, so that Pinki is effectively 7th level instead of 4th, and I can be a little less cautious about using him.
I have heard Boon Companion is considered a necessary feat for ranger companions :). We haven't talked about it but I kinda thing it makes sense for Pinki to have ABP as well, based off of HD say.
Also for Redtooth... what are you comfortable with Murph? She's been droppin' hints... but I'm fine with you taking over on how the relationship does or does not progress if you don't want to roleplay it :).
Next post is probably going to be on Tuesday. Happy Canada Day! To maybe just me. But long weekend woo!
Hope any Americans here had a good Fourth of July.
I can continue posting until the group gets to the start of the third book if no one wants to roleplay.
Don't want to feel like I'm playing by myself though :p.
Knock Knock guys :). Let me know if you want to do anything in Scrapwall or Torch or just skip ahead to the next location?
Hello?
Huh -- I swear I posted this past weekend that I was emerging from my month of being crazy overwhelmed....but I don't see the post, so maybe it got eaten by the tail end of the crazy. Sorry about that. :(
At any rate, I've leveled up myself / Pinki and should be good to go -- are folks still around?
I'm on a two week vacation right now. I guess we can check with Sharae if she wants to continue then. Radio silence though.
Ooooopssss... have really been struggling to find the time to keep the games I am GM'ing running at an acceptable pace - and the games I am playing in (both of which have hit 'in between books' at the same time) have sort of fallen by the wayside. I am also going to be on vacation (or as we, in the UK, call it - holiday) in a weeks time for a week so hopefully we can pick up then? I've got to level Sharae up... I know it shouldn't be difficult as cleric is one of the easiest classes to level... and hopefully swashbuckler is straightforward...
Enjoy your vacations / holidays, then, and we can re-mobilize afterwards!
Ok I guess when Sharae gives the go ahead we can resume. Any business to take care of in Torch or just move on?
If move on then who is travelling with you two?
I mean, I'm pretty fond of Anody. :) Should probably leave Dinvaya in Torch to compare notes with Khonnair and see if they can dig up any intel that would be useful in the future. And the mechanical dog; it stands out.
Not sure about Constance -- more dangerous to leave her in the town she tried to destroy in a past life, or take an android to the tech-phobic Iadenveigh?
Any opinion, Sharae?
Sharae? Are you still with us?
Testing.

Well... that was an interesting 'I don't know how long!!!!' I had drafted a brief discussion as to plans for Anody, Constance, etc but somewhere over the last couple of weeks it's gone missing - long story short, Anody should come with us as it gives the GM agency plus he's the only one set up to decipher all of the technological stuff we'll find... Constance should definitely leave Scrapwall as she is too recognisable as a Hellion follower there... and then we have the dog (staying with the Brigh priestess I guess) and the cat (coming with Criek)...
...going to see how stable the site is before I post any further!!!
Criek is getting pretty awesome at all the tech stuff but Anody's more than happy to come along to help out.
I'll start off with the approach to Iavnedeigh then sometime next week. Let me know how obvious you guys will be with your tech stuff.
You still have to level up too Sharae!
Phew, we're back!
As for tech obviousness, I think I'll stow my bomb-bandoliers in my pack until needed, but be less covert about extracts and mutagen, since they look more like potions.
Will try and get a post up before the end of the week.

Cool... also, I'm probably being a bit lazy and whatnot but what are the rules for levelling? HP? Skill Points? Saves, etc... I can't remember if its average, maximum, whatever... so confused!!!
Well we're using ABP so don't forget that and you'll be levelling up both sides of your gestalt and taking the best number from each for BAB/Saves/Skill points etc.
I actually don't remember how we did HP. Criek, what scheme did you follow?
Sharae go ahead with 1/2 HD + 1 for now to get your HP.
This is the first time we've actually levelled up in the game.
Guys?
I'm not forcing you guys to play if you don't want to am I?
Eek, I'm sorry -- just now seeing the posts from last week. WIth all the downtime, my rhythm of checking the site is off, and I think I must not have seen these before they got pushed off the bottom of my focus screen.
Will try to get some momentum back!
And for leveling, yes, I think I did 1/2-rounded-up, using the Ranger's 1d10, so 6+Con.
I'm here as well... I left my laptop charger at work for few days so I've been offline!!! Gameplay post incoming... levelling to follow!!!
i'm going to be a little light on posting for a while -- i broke my elbow a few days ago so have one hand immobilized. super fun times. i'm fine with being botted or having folks select actions without me if necessary, but hopefully i'll have my fingers at least free soon.
That's terrible news. Heal up and don't aggravate it if you can help it.
thanks. ice, ibuprofen, elevation, and extra sleep doing me well so far!

Oh man!!! Just as I'm getting over my busted shoulder... and I can deffo recommend that heady cocktail of sleep, ice and ibuprofen - and I threw a couple of binge watches in as well :) I'm now totally caught up on Stranger Things and a few others...
Get well soon!!!
Have you watched Dark Matter? Similar to Firefly - a spaceship on the run with a motley crew that suffers a shared mystery. Seemed very Starfinder in flavor (though all human or android).
...we are over to Better Call Saul and then after that Guy Pearce in the Innocents. Strangely I was never that sold on Firefly - weird as most sci fi is consumed with gusto!!!
You should give the movie, Serenity, a chance. Movies are faster to watch than TV series anyways.
Yeah... I did (I kinda missed Firefly when it was on even though I had a few friends raving about it... so I watched Serenity to get a flavour of what I might have missed) and I still didn't 'get it'... it still seems a shame that it was cancelled though, up there with Deadwood as something which seems to have come to an unsatisfactory end for a lot of folks.
Heh, thinking about it, going the other way is probably better.
How's the level up coming by the way Sharae? Going to need it next scene.
Sharae. Do you need some more time to level up?
Sharae. Do you need some more time to level up?
Crack on... I'll sort over the weekend!!!
I don't think you've levelled up yet Sharae.
Serious question guys and please know that I won't take offense either way.
This game has slowed down quite a bit and at this pace we certainly won't be able to get through an entire AP.
You guys aren't just posting to humor me are you? If the game has lost its interest for you guys, or there's other things that are higher priority than keeping up with it then that's perfectly okay!
I'm still on board! I agree we haven't hit momentum with the new book (yet?) -- I think that's partly the challenge of keeping attention on through the pause of leveling up and switching story gears, but also and more so just that I've got a lot going on and having difficulty focusing generally, and I'm sorry for that.
Nope, I'm totally on board with this game as well - I'm in the same boat as Criek and struggle to consistently find time (it hasn't helped that my commuting has been seriously disrupted over the last month - that's when I do lots of my PbP) - but I have reduced my PbP as a player down to just 'Scrapwall and beyond'... so yeah, I'm dead keen on this game continuing and I'll do my best to keep up!!!
Did you guys miss the update? You guys are up.
Glad to see you posted Criek, but it seems like Sharae is away.
Merry Christmas if you celebrate and Happy holidays all!
