GM Valen's The Commencement - January 2019 (TABLE 2) (Inactive)

Game Master Lysle

Talk amongst yourselves...

Did this table move, I was just checking in on another GM Valen The commencent?

Nope, looks like you're at the right table. He split everyone into two tables, and you're in this one.

I've played and GMed this multiple times. If there's someone who hasn't played this before, I'll leave it to them to decide which order.

Everyone at this table indicated that they had previously played this scenario, GM'd it, or both. The other table has all of the first-timers.

Ah, that's a great way to group us!

Then I'll say Dataphiles, Acquisitives, Wayfinders then Exo-Guardians.

My only idea on which order we accomplish the missions is to do Zigvigix before Historia-7. Also I am super ready to do the acquisitives one only because I know m character(s) will like it.

I will let others pick the order.

Tchisk is all about the race. He's quite the fan of Junk Racing.

If I read the above correctly, we have a three way tie:

Hach votes Dataphiles first.
Zip (or is it Zap?) votes Exo-Guardians first.
Tchisck votes Acquisitive first.
Deloran abstains.

With Elina not checking in, we are down to four players. So, either a consensus is reached (or GM fiat is imposed!) ; P

Without the vote from our missing member, we could split the difference and do the Wayfinder mission first. Then go to the races after that.

Technically I just voted we do exo-guardains BEFORE dataphiles, as it just makes more sense. I'm fine with doing the acquisitives first (off to the races!)

To the races it is

Sure, to the races then!

So? We should probably co-ordinate our plans. Does anyone else have diplomacy? I also have engineering and computers.

Also also, if our fifth member doesn’t show up we may have to switch to the four player adjust.

Tchisk has Engineering +10 and Piloting +9.

Deloran has +6¨ ENGINEERING, +5¨ PERCEPTION, + 3 PHYSICAL SCIENCE, +1 DIPLOMACY, +9¨ PILOTING, but if you want to go sneaky he has +9 Sleight of Hand, and +4 Stealth

Hach's options are rather limited. He could attempt to intimidate Ratrod (+6). Otherwise, only perception to upgrade the racer (+4).

Also also, if our fifth member doesn’t show up we may have to switch to the four player adjust.

Still no word from Elina, so I will apply the four player adjustment. See impending post in Gameplay.

Hey guys! Super sorry, somehow I missed the whole shebang! I had a con through the 12th that I was prepping for, and missed us getting into the swing of things. I just realized I hadn't checked this thread and apparently hadn't dotted in when I was checking through things.

If it's to late, I understand, though I would like to join in.

A Diva is always fashionably late after all!

Well, now that our walrus opera singer is here, I don’t feel like the oddball in the party!

I suggest Elina walk around and try to make friends while the rest of us work on the bike. I’m thinking we prioritize speed and handling, but we probably also want one of each gun if we can manage it.

If it's to late, I understand, though I would like to join in.

Welcome, Elina! Glad you could join us. You were always welcome, that is unless we finished the scenario first.

Tchisk is all about the piloting.

Thought we can discuss here in the... discussion thread. :) Hach's ranged attack is +4 so could take a gun. If there are better gunners though, he'll simulate one of the allies.

To make it easier, here is what the party needs to roll each round:

Piloting check (for Laboni's racer)
Gunnery check (for energy weapon on Laboni's racer)
Gunnery check (for initial kinetic weapon on Laboni's racer)
Gunnery check (for added kinetic weapon on Laboni's racer)

The party also made allies of Velocity and Lemgem. Thus, to give each player an opportunity to take an action and not have to sit out the race, one (or more) players can also choose to control Velocity or Lemgem or both for a round. The two allies each have one Piloting and one Gunnery check to make each round (another 4 rolls total). If players prefer, I can control one or both of the allied racers.

By bonus to piloting is +7, my bonus to hit is +3.

Actually, Zap, my drone’s bonus to hit is +4 if you don’t need a proficiency to fire the weapons, I could just spend the turns using my move action to give zap a full round action. If the GM allows it.

Piloting is +9
Range attack +4
So if you don't need me to shoot I will pilot Velocity's rig.

Tchisk is +9 Piloting and +3 Gunnery.

Deloran Starrunner

You know in Starfinder you don't roll to confirm crits, right? They just happen?

Just use to pathfinder

Have front-loaded work week (though seems others also may have pressing real world demands). It may be another day or two before I can update.

I'll be going for a short vacation from Fri to Sun. I'll likely only be able to check my games intermittently so please bot where necessary, and sorry for any inconvenience caused...

Quick survey: Are any of you planning on using one or more of these fine PCs in an Outpost game?

No.

Not for Hach.

I think I have Tchisk signed up for a game. If he's not available though, I have other characters I can use instead.

I guess I am odd man out by saying yes. But I would like to complete this one.

Nothing wrong with being odd... or a man... or saying "yes". I have been/done all three, sometimes all at once, on multiple occasions. ; P

I will do my best to keep things moving and wrap us up. As I understand that everyone has played through this scenario and/or run it before, I suspect that we will be able to move things along fairly quickly.

We are obviously in the home stretch. I expect to conclude within the next 2-3 days, if not sooner.

Next two days are heavy workwise and my daughter's elementary school musical runs this weekend, so no chronicles until late Sunday most likely.

Sorry for the delay. Chronicles are done and can be found here.

Please let me know of any changes or corrections. Otherwise, I will put this thread on inactive status the sooner of once everyone has confirmed receipt or one week.

Thanks again for playing! Happy gaming all!

Thank you. Looks good to me.

Looks good. Thanks!

Got it, Thank you again for running
