Hello hello! Ready and eager to get started!

Excellent! So far, I think we've got...

All I need is the Chronicle details from Pitchica and Brainiac, and we're 100% good to go! Don't feel the need to wait for me, however - feel free to hop into the gameplay thread and help Driskinet evaluate all the chairs in the Starscape chamber. I'll start the briefing first thing tomorrow morning.
Sorry for the delay... I was expecting to see something under my character profile and didn't....
This is the character profile for who I'll be playing. I tried doing a full fledged character sheet, but I couldn't find one that actually had any of the biohacker stuff that was easily shareable, so I ended up putting everything in the profile. Hopefully this works.
This is the stuff for the chronicle...
Player Name: Pithica
Character Name: Mutin Mutin
SFS Number: 327796-708
Faction: Wayfinders
Starting XP: N/A
Initial Fame: N/A
Starting Credits: N/A
Notes: I'll be holding the chronicle to level 4 like normal for a pre-gen so most of the stuff will be blank.
Yikes, sorry guys! I had been checking the recruitment thread, didn't see discussion and gameplay had started!
Player Name: Brainiac
Character Name: Alorea
SFS Number: 9090-701
Faction: Acquisitives
Starting XP: N/A
Intial Fame: N/A
Starting Credits: N/A
Pre-gen rules apply.
As a note: I'll be out of town from this afternoon through Tuesday. My wi-fi access might be spotty, so I don't know how often I'll be able to post until Wednesday. GM, please bot me as necessary. Alorea will mostly shoot things and use infinite worlds to slow melee opponents down. She'll save her spells for real challenges.
Yeah, for reference, I have Finals on Monday and all my homework for the semester is due today. So I'll probably only do maybe 1/day posting until next Tuesday or Wednesday and may not post at all the rest of the day today or Monday.
Yeah, I probably should have made a note in the Recruitment thread. Teachable moment for me, I suppose.
I'll start to get the game underway, but we won't rush through too much in the next few days, so don't worry. Save travels and best of luck on exams!
Like I mentioned in the recruitment thread, this adventure does not contain starship combat; however, it might contain some skill challenges based on starship crew roles. I'll let you guys haggle over the crew roles now in order to save some time later.
Bluff and Diplomacy at +9 make Flit an passable captain. +2 Dex for Gunnery, but nothing else, for other starship roles.
+3 BA and +4 Dex make me a decent gunner, +9 Bluff and +11 Diplomacy make be a good captain. I'll take the guns if Valen is better suited for the captain role.
Gunner would probably be the only good spot for Ashrouk, and even then only with a +3 BAB and a +2 Dex.
Science and Engineer are about all I'd be 'good' at, but I could pass as a gunner.
I'm walking out the door in a minute to take a string of final exams. I won't be posting again until tomorrow at the earliest.
Let’s be honest, I could only really pass as a gunner—maybe a captain, but a very drill sergeant-y captain.
Best of luck on the exams, Hadashin!
All that Driskinet would really be any good at is gunner. She could serve as captain, but others have better bonuses. If nothing else, she could fill the role of pilot, but she would only have a +2 Dex.
Alorea could also fill the role of "pilot", with her +4 Dex modifier.
Oh, for reference for the GM. I got to play this scenario yesterday with a different character (my 701) in the 5-6 tier. I know there's some random elements and stuff and differences between the tiers, and I'll go out of my way not to meta or spoil anything, but I'm supposed to inform you of that before we start. It wasn't true when we started, though, so I'm informing you now. :)
I forgot to apply the -2 penalty to my attacks for being off-kilter.
Today's my last day before holiday travel, so my posts may get a bit sporadic for the next week or so, but we'll be back up and rolling in Janurary. I hope you are able to enjoy the holidays with friends and family!
Same to you, Jimbles! Safe travels!
Yup. Enjoy the time with family/friends.
Safe travels and happy holidays to all!
I hope you all had/are having a lovely holiday! I realize you might not yet be in regular working order, so we're gonna slowly spool the game back up, hopefully returning to regular speed in the new year.
Thank you all for playing and playtesting! I hope that gave you a good taste of what the new classes are like. My goal is to get the chronicles out in the next few days.
Hey, I know I said originally that I'd be holding off on the chronicle until level 4, but after going back over the rules for the Playtest Chronicles, there's really no reason to. This is Chronicle #1 for this character, they're at 0 on Fame/Rep/XP and I haven't actually built them, yet, so they're sitting at 1000cr, currently.
Thanks for running GM Jimbles! It was fun and I really got a kick out of your descriptions and narrative writing (complete with occasional commentary) that makes it feel like the PCs are part of a book as much as playing a game.
@ All - Thanks for a good game. There was a lot more character and roleplay than I would have expected from playtest PCs. Really enjoyed that!
Yes, it was a fun run. Thanks for the game. :)
Hey all, sorry about the delay with the chronicles - this is my first time filling one out, and I keep putting numbers in wrong places, signing the pdf, and then realizing and starting over.
I just noticed that I forgot to ask for Reputation along with factions. Most of you are applying credit to new characters, but I do need Reputation for Drak Thrurg (Driskinet) and Desha Doash (Ashrouk) before I can finish these up.
Thanks for your patience.
Desha Doash has the following Reputation
Second Seekers (Jadnura) Tier 1 | Rep 13
Acquisitives Tier 0 | Rep 1
Dataphiles Tier 0 | Rep 1
Drak Thrurg has 5 reputation with the Second Seekers (Jadnura) faction.
It gets better. I know I was lost the first time I tried to fill chronicles out. But after I did it a couple of times and knew what went where, it got a lot easier. Now I almost don't even think about it and they take 10-15 minutes tops.
Alright, I think I got it! Pick up your chronicle sheets here.
Thanks again for playing! Please let me know if I transcribed anything incorrectly.
Everything looks good! Thanks again, GM!
Chronicle looks good! Prepping them is easily my least favorite part of GMing (your description of fill-out, finalized, correct, repeat accurately describes my experience and frustration). As mentioned, it does get a little easier as you do more of them.
Thanks again all! I look forward to sharing a table with each of you in the future!
Everything looks correct on my part as well. Thanks for running!
Everything is correct on mine. Thank you again for a great game.
