Yes, hope you have (had) a great time!
And there will be more Thorval GM-breaking when you get back!

I don't know if TheDireGM has read the last 2 posts...but I will tell him when I see him (today, going to the con he is running) to not have any drinks or food in hand when reading it....I was drinking my tea to get motivated in getting ready to do the ~1.5 hour drive down to the con...and I almost had tea go out my nose.
Maybe we should just stop the actual scenario and see which of you two steals the show ;-)

...I swear I check this campaign five times a day to see if there's an update yet. Haha.
I hope you guys had a great time at the con!

By the way, it is a guarantee that Thorval would be playing the “heel” in the post-modern televised soap operas of tv wrestling gladiatorial games.

There is even, likely, a WWF wrestler (who has sadly passed away a while back) that his person is modeled after.

I may or may not have poked my head in every so often in case we've resumed and my new post indicator isn't working. :>

The con was fun. I kinda burned the candle at both ends on Friday trying to get ready to go, and then we had a fun time on Saturday. TheDireGM was there and running pretty awesome games.
I am not 100% certain on if he is checking or not, but I can say that it is likely he is pretty exhausted from the con (all the pre, actual con and pos con), and when he gets that way it is hard for him to get much but RL immediate important stuff done. Also, I believe he has a trip to see his family in the next couple days, so hopefully the game will be back on after that...

Heya all. I came down with "con crud" and have been out of commission for the last couple of days, but look for me to be posting in-game again later today! Sorry again about all of the delays on my end!

Welcome back Dire, and thanks for the update. Hope that Con crud is out of your system!
I think the group here has been chomping at the bit to continue :>

No worries! I'm glad you guys had fun.

Absolutely glad you had fun!
FYI - I hope that our illustrious GM, and the other con goer, don't hurt themselves with our posts.
I've almost hurt myself reading the back and forth... and I've been part of it!

Hey guys, I’m going to have a crazy busy weekend. It’s unlikely I’ll be able to post Saturday, and I definitely won’t be able to post Sunday. Sorry if I hold up the game. Feel free to bot me if needed.
Thanks!
The Dire GM

As per my table rules post, RL > Game, so no worries! Especially after all of my delays, I'd be a really bad hypocrite otherwise! :)
Hope you two have a good weekend!

Heya, all. So, pursuant to Hmm's notes about the PbP convention, thanks to all the site outages and such, there is no way we're going to be finished by November 19th. As such, I plan to report the game so we still get counted as part of the con, but we can still edit things afterwards if changes are needed.
As such, this works out as a great time for boon rolls! Everyone has a 10% chance for everyone to win a boon for each table you play or GM! A roll of 19 or 20 wins, and for SFS tables, a 1d2 determines which of the two boons you earn.
To keep things fair, my modus operendii is to roll for everyone at once, in alphabetical order with myself last. So, good luck to all, and here we go!
Gear: 1d20 ⇒ 17
Jasper: 1d20 ⇒ 3
Julakesh: 1d20 ⇒ 19
Lynn: 1d20 ⇒ 19
Thorval: 1d20 ⇒ 10
William: 1d20 ⇒ 20
GM: 1d20 ⇒ 17
WOW! THREE winners - Julakesh, Lynn, and William - congratulations!!!
(Youtube link to a clip from one of my favorite movies of all time)
Let's see what you get!
1 - Emergency Resupply (starship boon)
2 - Mining Laser (starship boon)
Julakesh: 1d2 ⇒ 1
Lynn: 1d2 ⇒ 1
William: 1d2 ⇒ 1
Very nice! In order to make sure we get your boon to you, I'll need your email addresses that you use for your paizo.com account. You can send it to me in a private message if you don't want to post it here, but I will need it by the 17th-18th if I'm going to report it to the convention organizers (who will then email it to you after the event ends).

Cool! Email has been PM'd.

Just a heads up about this coming week. From Saturday the 17th to Saturday the 24th I might not be able to post too often each day. As my wife and I are going to head to Florida to see her family for Thanksgiving. I will do my best to post probably in the AM sometime, but if things get dropped into a furball (say a combat), the GM has my permission to bot me as he best sees fit.
The Dire GM

I suspect this will be the case with many people. I, myself, will be traveling on the 20th until the 24th, but in theory I should be able to make posts from my folks' place. We'll just go slow and steady as we need to! :)

"I believe I can take advantage of the sophisticated hybrid stage projector that Strawberry Machine Cake uses to project their realistic holoavatars. With a bit of tweaking and a hard-line connection to the station, I am 87% confident that this will contain the code and shunt it to the stage projector’s computer, using the holoavatar programming to force the code into a physical form. Once this is accomplished, you can engage in an age-old Starfinder tradition of problem solving...'shooting it to death'."
"Force the code into physical form so you can shoot it!"
That's got to be the most amazingly handwavy excuse for a fight yet in SFS.

Its silly, that's what it is! :D
BTW, based on our current pace, do you think we will be done with this scenario by the 1st of December? I have a convention coming up that weekend and am considering bringing Lynn off the PbP boards for once.
Julakesh Starfist

If by silly you mean AWESOME, then yes. It is.
The Dire GM

Assuming the internet at my parents' place doesn't go down like it did today, I hope we can be done by the 1st. It's 3am central time and I just got them back online, so I'm going to start on the in-game post shortly before I crash in bed.
I hope you're all still enjoying this! :)
LINE-04 "Lynn"

@Dire: 3am? Man, don't go starving yourself of sleep just to get an update post out! And no worries about whether or not I'm enjoying this, its a highlight of my evening to get caught up :>
Its also not a big deal if we aren't done by the 1st as I have other characters to bring.
@Gear: Wow, after reading Dire's post in gameplay, I was straining to remember exactly what his description of the bot reminded me of. And lo and behold, Gear to the rescue! It's totally Mettaton. 100%! I particularly remembered this cool fan animation.

Heya gang,
We are, in fact, nearly at the end of our adventure together! I'm hoping that despite all of the delays that you've been enjoying all of this! If you could, please make a post here in the next couple of days to let me know the following information:
- Your day job roll (if not already made)
- How much reputation you had prior to this game with the faction you slotted and with the Exo-Guardians and Dataphiles factions.
Thank you all for being one of the most amazing groups I've ever run a PbP for, and once everyone's had their moment in the spotlight, I'll post our conclusion!
Julakesh Starfist

No day job here. Being awesome is her full time job.
As for reputation:
Wayfinders 13
Dataphiles 1
Exo-Guardians 0
Thank YOU. This has been a great game and a great group! I've had a blast everyone.

Acq = 26

Thank you so much for DM'ing this game. Hope to play with you in the future.

Instead of the day job, he will use his down time to finish the "True Savior of Tasch" boon.
Thanks to everyone for an amazing game!!!

A couple of quick questions -
Jasper - you slotted Second Seekers (LE), so I need to know your reputation with that faction.
Gear - Did you mean Exo-Guardians instead of Wayfinder?
Thanks!

Day Job is on first page, but please disregard that. I plan on working on my academics on Castrovel (i.e. Dead Suns Boon).
Thank you Dire GM and all the players. This was probably the best PbP I have played in a long time. If anybody wanting to get another player for a pbp please send me a message.
Oh, Julakesh and Thorval...if you two ever do hook up character wise...you must tell Dr. Kuong so he can be there for the marriage and possibly the newborns delivery. He does have a paper he has to finish you know ;-)

Julakesh laughs in the face of marriage! A-HAH! A-HAH! But she'll allow Thorval to be the first male in her unofficial harem. Their whelps will be strong and fierce and terribly charismatic. Probably born flexing their muscles. Watch the teeth or you'll lose a finger, doctor!

You do realize, Julakesh, that they would all have to be called Thorval, right?
Thorval is...

No accounting for taste, I guess? :P
Chronicle Sheets are posted!
I dated the chronicles for the Gameday's end-date, even though we obviously went a little bit over. If I messed anything up with your chronicle sheet, please let me know! I'll leave our game thread live for a week or so in case anyone wants to keep RPing or there are any questions for me. Once again, thank you all so much for playing!
PS - After the holidays I'm likely to look at running more PbPs. If you want to add things to my pbp "wishlist" feel free to, and I'll notify you if I pick one of your scenarios so you can get in on the game early!

My Day Job should be at 228
I also would be interested in the following games 01-19 to 01-27 really haha since I no longer have time to play games live.
