GM Tealk's - Starfinder - #1-02 Fugutive on Red Planet (Inactive)

Game Master Tealk

Hey everyone!

Thank you so much for expressing interest in playing 1-02 - Fugutive on Red Planet! I look forward to starting this scenario off soon.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask away. I am here to help! We will be going at your own pace through this scenario. It is rather short, so I will focus more on the roleplay, even in the combats.

Feel free to make your comments and introductions in the gameplay thread!

Please find maps link in the header. If you can please add your token, and initiative, perception details that would be great. Don't worry if it's too much, I will add them once we start properly!

I am in the process of putting Rayburn into Paizo's description so you have my stats and all that. He is one of the characters that normally doesn't get played online. All should be in by the end of the day today.

(edit) I am basically done....nice that I have a premade template to just re-edit.

Take your time, no rush.

I've tried to access the maps but it says I need permission, so if you get a request for access, that's probably me

Thank you for pointing this out. Link fixed.

Added my details to the maps link :D

Just fretting over Valkyr13's avatar so will have that up shortly too once I've finished prevaricating :p

EDIT: can't find anything more suitable so going with what I have!

I agree with M'Linda!

All done in my corner. The red text is a nice touch. :)

I've added my details to the map link as well! :)

I was still deciding on a day job when I signed up for the campaign, but I've decided now so I figured I'd post it here.

Profession (Electrician): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
+7 from skills, +1 from Professional Clothing

I think I have my stats done. Still need to find an avatar and do my stat line.

My apologies everyone for the tardiness. I have been extremely busy with work this week, and will most likely be equally busy for the rest of it. This was the reason I wanted to start on the 15th.

I will be aiming to post once a day for the rest of the week to keep up with you guys.

Amazing roleplay from everyone, I love all of your character's already.

Oh no! It seems we are missing one of our agents - Kallus Harridan. I have messaged the player.

Not a problem GM Tealk. I didn't really expect to start for a few more days...always fun to do starting RP to get everybody into their characters and see how the team dynamic is going to work out :-)

All good GM, always nice to have a bit of time to do some RP before things kick off :)

I just realized I forgot to pick my extra languages. Anyone with more experience with Starfinder have any suggestions on what languages a smuggler from Diaspora would find useful?

World languages (Triaxian (sp), Eoxian, Akitonian, etc) are nice. So is having a race language (ysoki is a good one, they are often either pirates in the Diaspora and/or traders/mechanics).

It honestly is a lot up to you. Diaspora is a lot of hodgepodge of people....from pirates to dwarven mining colonies and everything between. I usually read in the Pact World area dealing with the residents to see what kind of races are there, and then choose.

Thanks for the advice. After spending more time reading that section of the rulebook, I went with some general world languages.

Sorry guys, I didn't see that the game had already started.. I'll be right there.

Since I didn't want to put them in the Gameplay:

Ally: None
Faction: Second Seeker (Jadnura) Champion
Personal:
Promotional: Shirt Reroll
Social: Faction Friend: Limited Use (O O O). can earn 1 reputation if failed to earn Fame at the end of the adventure.
Starship:
Slotless: Marked Field Agent, Star Sugar Heartlove, Jinsul Linguist (from -701).

This is my first game so I believe I only have the Acquisitives Champion Faction boon.

I also seem to be carrying too many things without something to put them in so I'll get a consumer backpack. As I understand it, my Second Skin armor will allow me to be in the thin atmosphere without any problems.

I'll get my boons posted after work, but I think I'll be similar to Rayburn.

I think I put this in the recruitment thread, but I'll put it here as well, now that it is updated:

Boons:
Ally: High Society Influence (Ykris, Iteration-177, Naiaj, Royo, Zo!)
Faction: Wayfinders Champion, Second Seekers (LE) Champion
Personal: Dwarven Admittance,Halfling Allowance
Promotional: None
Social: Factions Friend (x3),Budding Media Celebrity, Honorary Spider, AbadarCorp Augementations (x3)
Starship: Hero of the Stars (x1)
Slotless: Starfinder Insignia, Marked Field Agent, Salvation’s Delver (x1)
Unidentified: Journey to Scoured Stars Segment 1
Note: Slotted ones are not struckthrough.

Happy Easter everyone! I hope everyone has had a really good holiday! I’m back now, so expect more posts!

Hey everyone, I’m starting to GM more Starfinder games on the forums, and was thinking of running 1-04 Cries from the Drift after this. If any of you would like to continue the adventure with the party, and if you’re enjoying the pace/style of game, then feel free to show your interest.

No rush, we still need to finish this one!

Hi GM, loving the pace and the vibe so very happy to continue on to more adventures after this :D

And thanks for the invite!

I'm really enjoying this, so I'd be more than happy to continue onto another adventure as well. Thanks for inviting us!

I'd be down for that.

I'll probably continue also.

I would have to use a GM replay. But I would be fine with that.

I may be convinced. :D

Is the circlet or gem useful?

The circlet is very useful to a lashunta (or another creature with telepathy). I think it might even give a non-telepath some range (only ever looked at it for my formian, so not 100% certain). But it is best as credits.

The gem might be useful if we get hit by some kind of condition. It would have to be used by Kallus as I believe remove condition is Mystic only.

I can probably hold on to the gem, it may come in handy later.. I don't think the circlet can enhance my own telepathy, I think it just gives the ability to non teeps.

That sounds like it could be useful. I'm assuming SFS adventures work like in PFS, we can use any items during the adventure and then it all gets sold or is available to purchase at the end.

Yep. So use it while we have it ;-)

I don't think I rolled a day job:

Profession (Tinkerer): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16 +9 Base, +4 for Toolkit(profession), +1 for clothing

And with that, I will use my shirt reroll, since I didn't use it in the game (I didn't mark that I used it on my info tracker, and looking back I didnt' see it in any of my posts)

Profession (Tinkerer): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17 +9 Base, +4 for Toolkit(profession), +1 for clothing

edit: Wow.....well...that is 2 more credits than it was before!

Whoops, doesn't look like I did either. I'm not used to having one.

Profession (Smuggler): 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 6 + 1 = 25 Didn't see a smuggler's toolkit, lol. Edit: Oops, now I see the Professional toolkit. Looks like I'll have to pick one up for 20 credits.

Hey everyone, I just wanted to let you know that I had a blast running the game for you. I have uploaded all of your chronicle sheets online so feel free to take them at your leisure.

I will be starting up the next adventure up on Thursday this week after I finalise the map. But we will be good to go by the weekend, early next week - so no rush for those of you who wanted to continue to play with this group. I will post link to new gameplay thread soon.

Chronicles can be found here!

Edit! Link should be working now.

Hi GM, was a fun game thanks for running it for us!

I had a good time :D

Not sure your Dropbox link is working? Tells me the page doesn't exist! Might be me though... :s

Thanks GM Tealk. I should be able to have Rayburn ready for the next game by tomorrow or Thursday at the latest. I just have to buy an item or three for him.

Thank you very much, GM Tealk.

I'm a little up in the air with continuing on with M'linda. I don't hate the character, but she (so far) seems really limited. That could be because Starfinder is still fairly new to me, and she's my very first character. I could also be just impatient and she may get far better as she levels. :p

Anyhow, either way, I did enjoy the scenario, and I'll see how things feel by Thursday. :)

M'linda. I agree on that Solarians seems limited. I do have one (My -702 named Kitkul). It is fine for most games, but I really have issues that almost all Solarians are effectively triple stat classes. If you are a melee, you need a High CHA (for your Solarian powers), STR (for your weapon melee hit/damage) and CON (for more staying power). If built right (i.e. getting heavy armor fast) you can survive without a high Dex. If you went a shooter type (if so go solarian armor instead of weapon IMO), you would still need the high CHA and a high DEX.

What all that means is that your INT might as well be a dump stat. Which means no skill points...which I absolutely hate.

Since you are not level 2 yet, you could reconfigure yourself to be a shooter type, move 3 pts into DEX from STR and either leave the 1 pt left in STR (since it is the +1 for being a Merc), or change theme to something that might help your int (a Dex theme, CHA theme or INT theme). And go to the Solarian Armor.

The other option would be to mostly keep the way you are going...and waiting until you get 1400 credits and level 2 to get a +2 to get a stat upgrade (personal enhancement augmentation). Then put it into STR to get +1 to hit/damage. I did this with Kitkul when I hit level 2, besides reworking her to get Heavy Armor at level 1. If you go this way, you will eventually (~level 6-8) start to see you are becoming a melee powerhouse, but it takes a while from what I have seen.

Thank you, GM Tealk! This was my first SFS game and I had a lot of fun! Thanks for running it for us.

Kallus is ready to go to the next one!

Rayburn is ready. No real purchases it seems.

I'll be posting up links tonight. Stay tuned.

Not much I can afford yet. I'll get the Tool kit (Smuggler) (20) that I didn't buy at the start and the Infrared sensors armor upgrade (200). If anyone has any other suggestions, let me know.

If you haven't gotten one already, probably a good idea to look at the cheapest "stun" or "non-lethal" small arm you can get. Maybe not this game, but at least in the next couple. Otherwise you might accidentally kill somebody you want to take alive.

Besides that, always good to look at the technological tools. A fire extinguisher, comm unit (if you don't have one), flash light, other tool kits (hacker, engineer, trapsmith, etc), maybe have 2 serums of healing mk1, And maybe think on by level 2 or so getting a Starfinder Backpack (get an industrial one until then...it will allow you to carry I believe 1 (or 2) more bulk before being encumbered).

Alrighty, link to discussion and gameplay thread are up. We will officially be starting on the 13th of May. I hope that's okay with everyone.

This should give enough time for people to decide if they are carrying on with us or not. But I do look forward to seeing you all there.

Cries from the Drift!
