Still working on exactly which character I want to bring to this. I'll post all that stuff when I have it figured out.

I am also Working... Shall i take Antoine level 7 Who has done those adventure or libre 8 because I aim her to be level 9 so 10 with the adventure path?

If I can get him up to level 5 this weekend, I'd like to bring my Halfling Dataphiles Operative. Otherwise, it will probably be Shoo Fly (Mystic 7), who just finished playing with Libre.

This is a pivotal story arc. If you have characters who have a history with Ziggy and Historia, bring them. Both Antoine and Libby have histories with these characters.

Since it looks like we'll be playing up, I'll bring my level 7 mystic. This is the character I'll be playing on 5/28. I've preemptively upped his stats and will assume full rewards for the IRL game, but if that proves untrue I'll modify these details then.

In Character Questions

Did you participate in 1-14 Star Sugar Heartlove!!! or 1-01 Commencement? Yes and yes.

Who are you, and what do you have to offer the party? Id-Sinitis, or Id for short. Shirren star-shaman mystic. Mainly built as a blaster caster (magic missile, hurl forcedisk, irradiate, mind thrust III) with some support spells thrown in. Best skills are Perception, Piloting, and Mysticism.

What have been your most memorable moments so far with Ziggy and/or Historia-7? Definitely the Strawberry Machine Cake concert and the shenanigans that transpired. Id's own quirks have allowed him to connect to Historia-7's idiosyncrasies more than Ziggy's overt charm.

Out of Character Questions

Do you have an up-to-date 'bot me' spoiler -- complete with dice expressions? (Subtle, aren't I?) Yes, I should.

Will you be willing to bot other characters if I ask you to do so? If bot instructions are there and they don't have any suer quirky class builds, sure.

Do you promise to let me know if you get super busy for a few days so we can bot you? You betcha.

Are you comfortable with a 2 post a day pace? Probably.

What's been your favorite SFS Adventure with this character, and why? 1-31 Treading History's Folly. Lots of lore, plot development, world-building, and RP.

In Character Questions

Did you participate in 1-14 Star Sugar Heartlove!!! or 1-01 Commencement? Yes and Yes

Who are you, and what do you have to offer the party? I am Naylor (Android Operative). I am a pretty decent pilot and like to fly fast. I tend to specialise in small arms though I carry a small variety of grenades with me. When I can, I make it easy for my teammates to also hit any villains. I don't have the best social skills though they have improved since I joined the Society. I can help with computers and general engineering though they are not my forte, I am better as an electrician. If we are in a fight and you start taking bleed damage, make sure you are at least 15 ft away from me. If you deliver bleed damage, let me know so we can coordinate and I'll try to close with the enemy.

In Character Questions

Did you participate in 1-14 Star Sugar Heartlove!!! or 1-01 Commencement? Commencement

Who are you, and what do you have to offer the party? We are Hawthorne, Innovator of Triune, and Sophia, Innovator of Triune. We specialize in manipulation of digital reality--and physical reality at times, artificial intelligences, and re-appropriating stolen Starfinder data.

What have been your most memorable moments so far with Ziggy and/or Historia-7? We have been a loyal and efficient hand in Historia-7's tasks, usually re-appropriating data from someone else's computers.

Are you comfortable with a 2 post a day pace? Yes (with the caveat that if the next actionable post appears within 1 hour of the start of an evening shift, I probably won't be able to respond until the next morning).

What's been your favorite SFS Adventure with this character, and why? 1-33: Data Breach; I finally got to do what I designed this character to do: Hack, hack, and more hacking! (even if the author did try to invalidate half of my mechanic class features)

Hawthorne's features break a lot of rules when it comes to Computer/Engineering rolls and hacking in general.

I will enumerate them closer to actual play time.

EDIT: But it looks like I might be OOT, so the DCs will prove a challenge.

I have just realise that Hawthorne has done an adventure with Antoine.

In Character Questions

Did you participate in 1-14 Star Sugar Heartlove!!! or 1-01 Commencement? Sadly I was not able to attend that concert; I had to be on set that day. I have been through my Commencement, however.

Who are you, and what do you have to offer the party? Ah, sorry, I assumed you might have recognized me. My name is Yuqab al'Huluw...yes, that Yuqab al'Huluw, from 'Rumble in the Spike' and 'Steward Story'. Despite the vicious and slanderous rumors you may have heard, I really do perform all my own stunts. These days, I bring my...considerable talents to help Historia and the rest of the Society.

What have been your most memorable moments so far with Ziggy and/or Historia-7? When Historia took us into her confidence, when she found out the Society had been hacked...I was proud to be on that quick-strike mission to Verces. I could tell how much it meant to her.

Out of Character Questions

Do you have an up-to-date 'bot me' spoiler -- complete with dice expressions? Not yet, but I will before we play (I always create them--the dice expressions make posting easier).

Will you be willing to bot other characters if I ask you to do so? Sure

Do you promise to let me know if you get super busy for a few days so we can bot you? Yes

Are you comfortable with a 2 post a day pace? Yes

What's been your favorite SFS Adventure with this character, and why? Duskmire Accord 9 is my favorite scenario (it's just so weird!), but my favorite in regards to this character was Live Exploration Extreme! Yuqab being a minor movie star, that was a big opportunity for him.

I'll get Yuqab's profile updated soon.

Was waiting to see if Sparks was available since she did 1-01 & 1-14, but she is sadly still busy dealing with dragons... thus, Pangea-Kappa reporting for duty.

The Commencement

Who are you, and what do you have to offer the party?
I simply am an Android trying to preach the words of Triune.
I hope I can bring the powers of the Photon & the Void to aid my comrades.

What have been your most memorable moments so far with Ziggy and/or Historia-7?
Having had several problems with the corpos' in the Bluerise Towers, I remember how Ms. Historia-7 went up against them, and have great respect for her because of that. Thanks to that, she also discovered a corpo' conspiracy with Arch Energy Consortium, and I was chosen to help her with that. Great work fighting against trusts and oligarchs!
I have worked for Mr. Zigvigix several times, and I think he has mainly opened me up to many styles of music I was not used to before meeting him...
Kappa starts to snap his fingers and whistle...

Bot the Android spoiler @ the bottom of my character sheet

Will you be willing to bot other characters if I ask you to do so?
Hopefully you will not have to ask!
But, I can bot myself... others if needed.

Do you promise to let me know if you get super busy for a few days so we can bot you?
For sure. Yes.

Are you comfortable with a 2 post a day pace?
Yes.

What's been your favorite SFS Adventure with this character, and why?
Well, he started out w. a lot of DM Credit, so I'd say 1-04 which was very creepy and space-horror fun, and 1-34 because that was recent fun, with discovery, RP discussions and choices to be made.

Eric, feel free to sub back in Sparks if Dragons winds up ending this week.

... We are apl 6 right?

Thanks a lot, Hmm!
But our GM went off to a Convention, so stopped for a few days.
I doubt it'll be over before next Monday...
(but will keep in mind in case, thanks)

I don't think I've worked with the Kappa iteration...

Now I almost wish I was playing Shoo, since he and Kappa just finished a mission together and had some fun RP.

Libre also. (She Will be here as an Ally)

But i don't think a second starshaman Will be a good idea.

Thanks guys!
(I was first thinking of Pangea-Zeta, but that would have been a 2nd Envoy)

There no problem having a second envoy. Antoine is not a traditional one.

Yeah, but I gotta catch'em all (all the different PANGEAs)!

So how many Pangea's are there?

Counting pre-Gap or only post-Gap? ;)

So, post-gap PANGEA has so far created the following models:
Alpha, Beta, Gamma (which was scrapped after initial testing ; changed to a non-Pangea before level 2), Delta, Epsilon, Zeta, Kappa, Lambda (which has not been deployed yet), and they also play tested a biohacker Mu model.

There also is a Halfling lass named Pangea... but she will say she has nothing to do with all these androids.

Enjoy PaizoCon all who are attending!
Safe travels, roll high...

Did you participate in 1-14 Star Sugar Heartlove!!! or 1-01 Commencement?
Yes, I have.

Who are you, and what do you have to offer the party?

I am Antoine Désilet, Photojournalist at The Homework. Last year, I have participate and written, shoot pictures, written article, podcast about the rebirth of the Starfinder Society. Those pictures i have done have given me some prestige.

Well, i can offer that their stories and figure will be immortalise by my paper. I have also a good instinct, I worked in the army and they says I have a silver tongue.

What have been your most memorable moments so far with Ziggy and/or Historia-7?

Not much. I have helped Ziggy and historia in a few mission. But I don't know a lot about them. I know. This is a error on my part as a journalist, but i do more pictures. My wife have learn me of Zigtoria for exemple. Ziggy is a good... host? So I am happy to help him.

Back from PaizoCon and got Yuqab's profile built out. I'm ready to launch.

My Boons are listed in my character sheet.
The only important ones I'd say are:
Promotional: • Promotional Record Keeper - ("free" recup' SP)
Social: • Contractor’s Respect - (borrow some armor, 2nd use out of 3)
Starship: • Automated Defenses - (1/combat - reduce speed of tracking weapon)

My apologies all. I did not get off to a very timely start to this game. Yesterday was travel and today was unpacking and putting out figurative fires at home and work. Normally I check Paizo when I first boot the computer in the morning and then set up to check games throughout the day. I will attempt to do so for the rest of this adventure.

Hello, and I am happy that the fires were figurative!

I did not either. I have been doing literal and figurative unpacking, and suddenly catching up with work. And I'm the GM. But what I can do is roll box text and get you guys going asking questions and such while I am unpacking.

Hmm

No worries! I'm in the height of concert season right now, so my time is also limited for the next couple weeks. Haven't slotted boons yet, will post those once we get the briefing.

The mission briefing is slowly rolling forward now. Also I find these games go faster with a hangout channel, so here's a link for everyone to join. I'll close it once everyone else pops in.

Hangout Link

I can't really handle hangout channels with my work, but I check the boards multiple times a day and post whenever possible, aiming for 2x per day. I hope that's sufficient!

I'll have to wait 'til I get home today to post boon slotting, I'm afraid--I don't have the chronicles with me here.

Don't fret. We're all unpacking, including your GM.

Are there any scenario specific boons to slot?

Not requiring answer but I just can't keep it in anymore so many months after meeting Historia-6 in the last MTS: How does Historia-6 exist? The integer increases when the previous android soul goes through renewal and allows a new soul to occupy its body. Here we have 2 bodies and 2 souls. Obviously, it's just narrative inconsistency, but I had to get that off my chest.

Does Historia have a chest?
Or is she fated to never get anything off.....

There's an upcoming culture check!

I thought that it was because Historia-6 was lost in the Scoured Stars so they just had to start fresh with Historia-7. I guess we may find out. Roll high fellow Starfinders.

Unless there is an indication to change them...

Basic botting instructions now in place.

I thought I had seen posts with spoilers inside spoilers.

I would like to have a Bot Me spoiler that includes the others that I have just posted but can't work out how to do that. Any suggestions gratefully received.

If I am correct, you can only put spoilers without headers within spoilers.

[spoiler=First Spoiler
Bla bla bla
Below is another spoiler:
[spoiler
Other bla bla
(and then, at the end, you have to close the spoilers twice, closing the 1st one and the 2nd one)

As Pangea said, you can't put a label on the inner spoiler, just a plain spoiler tag. I use OOC text to label it, like:

{spoiler=What is that monster? Knowledge (local)}
{ooc}DC 15:{/ooc}
{spoiler}
It's a goblin!
{/spoiler}
{/spoiler}

Which looks like this:

Thanks. So my problem is that I was using named spoilers. I will play with it to see how I want it to look now that I know the limitation.
