The Dire GM's [SFS] #1-12: Ashes of Discovery (OutPost II 2019) (Inactive)

Btw. I am fine being a grease rat for the purpose of this fight, so I can try it out in the engineering

Akkedis would go for a gunnery position either way. He's more of an active passenger than crew member skill-wise (for now).

Then I'll go with Science Officer and put on my Spock ears...

Looks like assignments are:

Captain: Kitkul (+7u)
Gunner: Master Filament (+6), Akkedis (+3)
Engineer:Croaker (+4)
Science Officer: Qwyn(+5)
Pilot: Kaylee (+13)

And that we are boarding the Drake!

Let us venture on, Starfinders!

With facebook down, my work got super busy and crazy last night. Sorry for not posting. Go ahead and bot me since I need to crash.

Just a heads up. This is the week I do a LOT of teaching (14 labs throughout Tuesday through Friday, 1.5 to 2 hours each lab), so I will not be able to post much if anything after ~9 AM EST each day. If needed bot me.

Just fyi on my end, I'm helping run Who's Yer Con in Indianapolis this weekend, so I might be offline from here between tomorrow and Monday morning. We're making great time in the scenario (a 4 round starship battle helps) so I'm not too worried about it from that standpoint.

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Have fun, Dire GM! Heading to the local Coscon myself for the weekend. Happy gaming!

Enjoy your weekends y'all

I will not be playing during this weekend as my GM decided to ditch his session for Indianapolis Who's Yer Con :( But I will find something else to do so no worries ;)

I am also going to be at WYC (probably at at least 2 tables with DireGM, playing or running). We can easily keep going after Sunday evening I hope!

Tomorrow I will be off for a day. I might have time to post in the evening but I am not sure about it, so please bot me if needed.

Just fyi - I will be traveling out-of-state this Friday-Sunday. I'll be able to check in from my phone to answer questions, but will likely not be able to post much gameplay. We're making rather good time on this scenario, so I'm not worried - I just wanted to let you all know!

I hope you're all having fun so far with this!

Akkedis - No worries on traveling. I leave tomorrow afternoon for Ohio, and will only be on sporadically between then and Sunday myself.

Kitkul - Before I ran this for the first time in pbp, I had found a bunch of neat art by someone going be the moniker of nai-ga on artstation. I liked it so much that I used several of his pieces as inspiration for the forms/shapes of the various natives and creatures found in #1-12. When we're all done with this run-through, I'll share my dropbox folder where I keep my personal favorites stored for use with this scenario.

Now that some of the logistics-side of things for OutPost II are taken care of, we can now do our rolls for Boons!

I've been instructed that the rolls are to be done in a manner similar to how I normally do them - GM first then all characters in alphabetical order (I usually put the GM roll last, so this is close enough) A 19 or 20 wins a SFS player boon! Because I have no need for boons right now, if I win one on my roll, I'll be giving it to the person who rolled the next-highest. Also, because Kaylee's player had to drop out due to real-life issues surrounding the upper midwest flooding, I've decided to leave her in for boon rolling. Her character completed 3 of the 5 "main" encounters, so I'm also going to be getting her a chronicle sheet as well.

Best of luck to all!

GM: 1d20 ⇒ 18
Akkedis Dauðlaus: 1d20 ⇒ 1
Kaylee Kanta: 1d20 ⇒ 12
Kitkul: 1d20 ⇒ 5
Master Filament: 1d20 ⇒ 15
Qwyn: 1d20 ⇒ 15
Spike 'Croaker': 1d20 ⇒ 19

Woot! Way to go Croaker! Let's see which boon you win!
(When you get a second, please send me your email address so the convention organizers can email you your boon!)

1d2 ⇒ 2

Perfect for a mystic! You win a Mystical Guidance Systems Starship Boon!
Brief overview: For gunnery, someone on your ship can use mysticism and wisdom instead of piloting and dex.

I hope you're all still having fun with this scenario. Talk to you all soon!

Woooooooooooooooooooooweeeeeeeeeee.

Good for me, I will be able to fill an additional role on a ship, that is cool. I didn't know that such a lottery takes place so that was a pleasant surprise.
I will DM you my mail in a second.

I have one question related to this scenario, or to any other. We encountered some equipment along the way: a ring of resistance, now armor, weapons etc. How does to spoils of war division works? Is it something that happens at the end of the scenario? Or can I roleplay the division in the game? How are conflicts resolved? Croaker is good at gambling, should he cheat...I meant to win in a square card game?

Given that I still didn't forgive the petty gods for throwing me off the bridge, even that I clearly remember saying:

Sorry if it causes you inconvenience. When you will face a situation when you need to drop one PC into a chasm killing them instantly, recall that I felt sorry for my action. The hero was unplayed, brand new.

Winning that boon dimmed the hatred a bit :P

With regards to if I enjoy the scenario: Hell yeah, having a time of my life playing with this team.

Organized play on both the SFS and PFS side of things does it like this:

- During the adventure, you can divide found/captured items up between the PCs however you see fit.
- After the adventure, the society takes everything you found and liquidates it (this is the credits/gold on your chronicle sheet), but retains the ability to magically replicate any item you recovered, so you can buy items/gear on your chronicle sheet with the credits/gold you earned, even if your level/fame/rep isn't normally high enough to qualify you to obtain the item in question.

Glad to hear it! :)

For the next 3 days, I will be away. So I will be able to check the games on my phone only. That can diminish the quality of my posts and potentially length of them.

Just a head's up. I'll be on a cruise for a week starting this Saturday so my posting will be spotty at best; please bot me if I'm holding things up. Three of the places we're porting, I'm supposed to have coverage so, hopefully, I should be able to post several times but there's no guarantee...

Exo-guardians - 4

Second Seekers Luwazi - 0

Thanks for running! Great game, all!

Exo-Guardians - 12

Been a great (and very fast) game that I had lots of fun in. Never saw that shark go down that fast...ever.

I have no reputation so far. I really enjoyed the game, great kudos to Gm and awesome thanks to the team. Good deal of Rp here! Well done.

Thanks for running, GM, it was fun! Enjoyed playing with everyone, thanks for helping me learn the ropes...

Chronicle Sheets are posted!

Again, I hope you all had fun playing, and feel free to look me up the next time I run a PbP on the Paizo boards!

I'll leave this campaign active for a few days just in case you have any questions or want to do more RP back on Absalom Station!

@ Dire GM - Chronicle looks good. Thanks!

@ All - Thanks for a very fun and entertaining run of this scenario! I look forward to sharing a table with each of you in the future!

I'm going to mark this game as inactive/complete some time tomorrow. If you have any questions for me, feel free to drop me a line via private message on Paizo or via email (mbramnik at gmail.com). Again, thank you all for playing! :)
