[SFS] GM kuey's Dreaming of the Future (#1-16) - PbP GD7 (Inactive)

Game Master kuey

Anyone object to this?

Omzig - primary gunner
Zac - primary engineer
Special Circumstances - Captain
Rom - Science (and backup gunner when needed)
Harec - secondary gunner (or backup other roles as needed)
Sharmain - pilot

I'm good with it.

I assume I'll take the forward laser cannon (or port or starboard if we get out maneuvered) while Omzig takes the coil gun correct?

Harec's Day job roll (electrician) day job: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Sounds good to me, Harec. Let me know if you want a turn on the turret. Omzig is helpful that way. :-)

I'll be away this weekend on a hiking trip. Would only be on mobile and signal would like be iffy. Will pick this up on Monday. Have a good weekend!

My apologies for being unexpectedly away from the game today. I have caught up with reading and even looked at where I will move the ship, but I am too tired to do so now without increased risk of messing up. Given that no definitive action will occur until Monday, I will plan to make my piloting actions tomorrow.

Enjoy your weekend, everyone.

I am attending Geek Girl Con this weekend, providing introduction and demos for all three systems. It is a much longer day then I expected so I may not make a post tomorrow.

Please feel free to bot me if needed.

I hope you are all enjoying the weekend.

Hmmm, looking at the map this morning, it would seem my last move is no longer reflected and/or something has shifted. Should I try that again?

It's there! You just did it on round 4 map instead of the round 5 one. :) I'll transfer it.

Oh! I did not realise there was a different map per round. Sorry.

OK, I need to stop trying those Flybys. It seems to throw the gunners off!

Sorry my posting has slowed. Am travelling. It's a chill trip so I have time to post but the hotel internet is killing me... Wil continue but will be slow until Wed night earliest.

At this point, I am open to suggestions. Other than the dice bot rolling more favourably, do any of you have suggestions for your pilot or the team as a whole? Do we just keep plugging away and hope for the best?

Sadly, that's kind of what low level starship combat is. The modifiers are low so we're very subject to the whims of the dice bot.

Actually, I think you guys are doing pretty good. They've only got 2 hull points off you. Just quite a bit of unlucky dice rolls there for the gunners.

the starship combat does ween a little long but it sure is fun and translates surprising well to PbP! I've been involved in 4 star-ship combats now and have enjoyed 3 of the 4 (including this one)!

Is the room crowded enough that Sharmain could potentially use psychokinetic hand to float an unattended drink and dump it on someone causing a distraction to allow one of the computer/ engineering savvy in the group to try to disarm/unlock the unattended door?

Is so, she will quietly comm the idea to the team so they can be ready to act.

Oh certainly. The club is VERY crowded. I would still need some skill rolls, e.g. bluff to cause the distraction (with bonuses depending on your strategy), and likely stealth from those working on the door and going in (again with bonuses depending on how the distraction goes). Disarming the alarm requires an engineering check.

OK team, how do we want to handle this?

Looks like Omzig and I are ready with possible distractions.

Do we want to have Zac and someone else with engineering try to stealth and disarm the alarm?

That sounds great. I am not very sneaky. Maybe a Dex-based mechanic should go for it.

Although the scenario gave some guidelines, I'm quite open to whatever you try to get through the doors. If you can come up with something reasonable to replace the stealth, I'll take it, too.

Hey guys, sorry but we're not going to be able to finish this by end of PbP GD7. Might take another 2 weeks or so. I hope your characters aren't committed to any other games then?

Will also go ahead to report the games first, which means boon rolling! Everyone please roll a d20. If you get a 19 or 20, you win! If so, roll a d2, and pm me your email address so that the organisers can email the boon to you.

me first: 1d20 ⇒ 18

Boon roll: 1d20 ⇒ 6

Boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 2

Boon: 1d20 ⇒ 10

boon role: 1d20 ⇒ 1

System is not letting me post a dice roll, but I rolled a 4.

Boon: 1d20 ⇒ 11

Sorry for the delay, I was prepping and running my game day!

Majko, could I have your PFS number in the maps and handouts table (first slide)? Need to report the game as gameday is coming to an end. Thanks!

Ha, a question mark doesn't work for you? Haha! I filled it out with 707. :)

So now I am curious, where are you based GM Kuey? What about the rest of you? I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area, recently relocated from the greater Seattle area.

I am happy to keep playing through Thanksgiving, though our family will be spending some time with friends tomorrow I should be able to read and post at least once. I don't mind if others are not available, family first.

I will be attending a games convention Friday through Sunday. I still expect to be able to post at least once a day, however, I may be a bit slow and if there is too much chaos I may miss a day. Feel free to bot me as needed.

I'm in the Seattle area! So I'll be fairly AFK tomorrow but back on all weekend.

I'm from Singapore, but now based in London. Neither places have a tradition for Thanksgiving. But we do celebrate Black Friday though. :)

San Diego, and I'm spending Thanksgiving at the zoo.

Everybody knows Black Friday is the true holiday! :)

My sincere apologies, all. I was not only pushed for time more than I thought I would be but I also became sick and actually missed some of the con. Today was all about catching up with many aspects of life and I am about to start reading the gameplay and will post there soon.

I’m pretty sick too will try to keep up best I can get better Sharmain

You too, luckless.

Ha, I just realized Formians have darkvision and blindsense. Guess I don't need the light either!

Sharmain, you are shaken, which means a -2 to your saves. Which means that was a fail... :P

I am confused. I thought I was shaken for two rounds.

Aaah, now I see, the bite happened during the end of that round so the penalty was still in effect when the will save happened. Sigh.

Thanks for helping clear that up.

Well, good job on finishing the quests. The last combat was a challenge (especially when compared to most Starfinder Society's scenarios), as when I played up myself. Quite a few of us went down. Good thing you guys managed to avoid the breath weapon!

Sorry this dragged on longer than I expected. Would need to see how I can keep things moving.

Game had been reported earlier and since no one died and you succeeded on all the quest, I won't have to amend anything. Will have the chronicle sheets ready over the weekend.

Alright, the chronicles sheets are here. Let me know if there're any mistakes.

Thanks for the game, guys!

Dammit! The system is apparently still eating my posts. :-(

Abbreviated and not so well worded summary of yesterday's post...

Thanks, Kuey for a good game. I know we slowed down in spots and possibly could have used a couple of prods to move along, mostly I think it was us, not you, and the nature of the game, life, timing. I appreciate that you stuck with us and encouraged us to finish all the quests. I'd happily be in another of your games or play with you.

Thanks to everyone who played. I look forward to playing with you again in the future either here in PbP or if I have the opportunity and pleasure to meet you in person.

Happy gaming everyone.

Looks great, GM. Thanks for running!

Chronicle looks great! Thanks for the great game! Quests are hard to keep pace on. Especially one with a starship combat and a fairly open-world problem section! You did a great job!

Thanks for the fun time, all! A great time!

got my chronicle GM thx 4 the game it was fun!
