Welcome to the discussion thread, squad. Check in when you get a chance. If you want to make some alterations to gear purchases or swap a skill point so folks are matched up, just give me a heads-up on the changes.
Figure out who is going to take which of the traits available. If I can whip it up quickly enough I'll add a gameplay thread to allow you guys to dot in or even do some inconsequential style RP before we officially get going.
Let's see, Castor is built to play rather like a soldier with a focus on energy weapons and some nifty skill and damage bonuses. Combat tracking means he is going to be focusing on one target at a time.
I was planning on taking the Blackvine Hopeful trait and taking Overcharge as my first trick and either Neural Shunt or Overclocking as my second.

Well Velocity has taken the Criminal trait.
she is a petty crook, gambler, and hot-shot pilot. she was finally caught after stealing an interceptor from the Blackvine Company and taking it for a wild ride/police chase.
As a half-elf, she was orphaned at a young age and got into lots of trouble at the orphanage. she would hack computer systems and take vehicles out for joy-rides whenever she could.
eventually, she was fostered into a good home. but that was short lived. her new family was involved in some things that she was unaware of and was killed by agents of an evil cult (or some other criminal organization)
Velocity survived, but she thinks that these "bad guys" are still after her.
I am not opposed to the idea of continuing past the original module, but I am focused first on the module. If things work out, and folks want to keep it going, I am sure I can keep it going a little longer.
Issac reporting for duty. Sorry for the delay, I was away for the weekend but have returned and am looking forward to playing. For traits I have taken Criminal as well unless there is some restriction on multiple characters having the same trait; though he is not the career scoundrel Velocity is (yet anyway). Actually he has not had much of a career at anything so far, being less than 2 years old.
It was my original intention to have one/character, but I'm already digging the fact that despite not being much of an anime theme, what you guys have put out already gives me a strong anime vibe that is shaping up in my imagination well, so let's just roll with it :P
I'm going to give you guys a little more time to banter if you like before jumping to the busy day ahead of the characters.
Fresh, move things forward post coming soon, week just got unexpectedly busy.
Am I correct in assuming from the description that Cas' condition is similar to MS?
Note that a map of the station can be found in the Google Drive link under Campaign Info. I am going to write up a key of locations everyone has been after you have been there soon.
Got that key up already, yay me. Also added a link to the stats of the jinncaster in the campaign description.
Two nat 20's in a row on practice shots. I won't get that kind of luck when it matters.

I just realized I never answered this, but yes. I altered the pathology of it so that him essentially bypassing the affected sections of his spine with a cybernetic implant relieved the worst of the symptoms.

ok so I thought about this.
Hanging in there, real life always in the way, that sort of thing.
The dice gods are going to take their penance on me when it really counts I just know it.
Been a busy few days but will have an update coming probably tomorrow.
Real life continues to be a PitA, will have actual important update stuff coming soon.
Isaac, you there?
Going to give Isaac about a day before looking for a new fourth...which is why I'm going to delay a bit on this guy's reply. If we happen to need a new guy or gal then seeking more expertise may be a good way to write them in.
Okay, I'll update play thread in a little bit and see if we can drum up a new fourth. Isaac is welcome to return whenever, easy enough to tweak dangerous situations in such a case. Hopefully he's alright! Like I said, keep an eye open for an update to the play thread!
Roger, roger
Off topic here, but I've got an itch for some AD&D. It happens from time to time to me, very tragic. So I want to run an open-ended 2nd edition old-school, but not full on hack 'n slash, game. I was hoping to do some Dark Sun, but can be talked into Spelljammer instead. Would rather avoid the basic fantasy settings and don't know I could do Ravenloft any justice. If anyone is interested, check in on my interest-check thread here.
I'm around BTW, just hoping the boards stay stable and folks start making their way back to various games, so I not pushing strongly to move forward yet.
Yeah, the recent troubles have just about convinced me to abandon Paizo for any games in the future.
I am actively considering creating backups and slowly migrating to a new site as it were. I don't feel like they were taking the outage seriously. I have a lot going on IRL tho, spretty low on my priority list ATM.
Would that be a Mysticism check to match the wound patterns on the Flumpf to the spell contained in the Amp?
Yes, mysticism. Sorry for delays, laptop died dramatically. I seem to have a working solution, hopefully it will hold up for a little while.
No worries.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure Mysticism is a skill our party does not cover. We'd need to take that information to a specialist for further proof.
Well, we seem to have been paused anyway for a moment, lost momentum during the board outages. I will post a little nudge post sometime today or tonight and hopefully starting next week we can get back into a flow.
Sorry all for going dark for a bit, I am back and would like to pick back up.
That's fine, I hadn't noticed that I needed to post myself, lol, brain fried. Must have accidentally cleared the (1 new) by mistake or something. Get on back in there when you're ready since you're up next, lol.
I guess I should just bot Bahit afterall? Lol. Been busy anyway, hut want to continue if folks are still mostly in. I will bot if Bagit hasn't acted by this time tomorrow, buts how about an official check-in from folks?
Still here
Going to hold it open a little longer just because I've been enjoying this.
Yeah, sorry it went off the rails, I may try this again sometime soon, but for now I'm taking my sci-fi needs to a different outlet and combining it with some simple, old-school gaming. If anyone is interested, check it out here:
