Starfinder: Dead Suns

Game Master Simmyish

Hey and welcome to the campaign :)

I've posted up the first gameplay thread, as mentioned - here is an opportunity to introduce your characters a little bit before things kick off.

Any questions you have, feel free to ask them here if their rules related :)

So who's here? Any ideas about starship combat roles?

I'm prepared to tweak W-12 to fill in as best, there.

I'm in. Netharan currently has a point in piloting and a point in computers, so I could either pilot or science officer.

Miles is here! He is probably best suited to be a gunner, but could be a backup engineer if need be. If we need a backup pilot as well, Miles could shift a skill rank from medicine to piloting.

No Piloting on Tetch, he's definitely a face-type. Nor Engineering. They've had it hard, so if it isn't dealing with thinking beings, they're definitely at a disadvantage. Well-functioning Tech is a rare privilege.

I didn't note their Theme, which is "Outlaw", and I'll be aiming for "scruffy, shifty, and dirty"— on that razor's edge of Trustworthy.

Personally, I'll be adding bits of color where I can, little tidbits of description or color to the world we're playing in, provided I'm not stepping on any toes.

Hi all,
Atrios can be the Engineer. He's more of a recovering Grad student but being an elf, he had plenty of time to 'minor' in Engineering.

I shifted a rank to piloting, so Miles can be a backup pilot (at a +7). If you want some fancy flyboy, though, you have the wrong guy. Maybe when our Operative joins the party we will have a better idea how we all fit in starship combat.

Luckily it will still be a little while before we get down to starship combat, so there's still time to think about it :)

I have a 7 in piloting but I can switch my racial bonus to bump it to a 9 if need be.

As you like, Netharan...Miles can be the main pilot or a backup depending on what role you want. If not piloting, Miles is likely to man the starship weaponry.

How are we doing character sheets?

How are we doing character sheets?

Miles' sheet is a fillable .pdf uploaded to Google docs and shared on his profile page (homepage link). I can modify if needed, though, as long as I have a place to upload it.

the doc is fine, I know you can put some stats into the paizo website on the character profile as well, that's a choice also - but Miles has a good way of doing it :)

Awesome! I'll get on it when I get home. What about starting gear. How much credits UPBs does one get to start?

Default starts with 1k, I believe.

I've got my sheet on Myth Weavers, link in my profile.

This will have to do for now.

Do we have a map showing the tactical situation now that we are in combat?

You can find the map as it starts here

Looks like I need permission to view that link...

This is not the page you’re looking for.

It appears you don’t have permission to view this photo or video.

Try it again here

Excellent. I can see the map now. With that initiative roll, though, I figure I will have some time to wait before my turn...

Hereis my proper character sheet

Just checking in...I am used to games that require/request daily posts. This game appears to be moving more slowly, so I will check in less often if that is the intent.

Hey Miles,

I post every 3 days or when everyone has posted (whichever happens to be first), so that's what I'm after from everyone - but after 7 days is when I get in contact if people haven't been posting :)

I think there’s a word missing.
“he was told by his gang to Kreel from the other gang”
To kill? Protect? Hide? Capture?

oops, just noticed that - will correct - but will also post here "to protect Kreel from the other gang"

I'd like to see if anything could be dug up on Kreel, OOC.

IC, Tetch just wants a night of rest. How many hours have passed so far?

It's been a few hours, you can make a Culture check or Computers check.

It's been about 8 hours since you all arrived on the station, and Chiskisk knows somewhere where star-finders will get a discount for at least a week's stay, in a place called the Moons of Sleep, located a short walk from the Parks and towers of the Eye. 16 credits per week for an efficiency, or 50 credits per week for a small two-bed suite. It is also recommended that you get some rest.

Just an update from me, I'm enjoying the roleplay between you all so keep it up :) I'll move things along when you guys are ready :)

Random thought: If the game were a movie, who'd play your character?

Random thought: If the game were a movie, who'd play your character?

...Thinking maybe Bradley Cooper, but a bit more blue collar and not quite as aggressive...

A young Tilda Swinton. Similar to her performance in Orlando.

...probably CGI?

Maybe Harrison Ford from Blade Runner.

I'm thinking a scummier Rusty(Brad Pitt) from Ocean's Eleven for Tetch's mannerisms, with a touch of Steve Buscemi.

Miles is not the leader type either with the +0 Diplomacy. We haven't heard from Netharan since the 15th of July. Hopefully Tetch will respond.

I'm here, just haven't been able to reach the computer the past couple of days. Post coming tonight.

Just a question... what sort of repute would the place Tetch gambles at?

Places of borderline repute, if a little over. Their theme is "Outlaw", so they'd be more comfortable with the shadier places than not.

Hippocampus - Tier 1 Upgraded Ringworks Wanderer
Small shuttle
Speed 6; Maneuberability perfect (turn 0)
AC 14; TL 14
HP 35; DT - ;CT 7
Shields basic 20 (forward 5, port 5, starboard 5, aft 5)
Attack (Forward) light laser cannon (2d4)
Attack (Turret) coilgun (4d4)
Power Core Micron Ultra (80 PCU); Drift Engine none; Systems basic mid-range sensors, extra light weapon mount (turret), mk 3 armor, mk 3 defenses, mk 1 trinode computer; Expansion Bays cargo hold, guest quarters (common), life boats
Modifiers +1 any three checks per round, +2 Computers, +3 Piloting; Compliment 1-4

Miles calls the turret coilgun!

Atrios will be the engineer!

*looking up insults and such*

Tetch can motivate, but Pilot, they are not.

That sounds like the captain in the way the game works Tetch :)

Netharan can Pilot or Science Officer

What happened to W-12? I think that was our healer.

Just an update: As the website was down most of the day today, I'm gonna give an extra day before moving anything forward or answering any posts to give everyone time. Also, today won't count towards having an issue if it's been a while to post, as the site was down for a while today.

Also, I haven't heard anything from them in a while, I'll be sending another message to see if their OK today :)

Drift Rock Checklist!

Has everyone purchased gear?
Will the characters be inclined to discuss the gear they're getting?
Is anyone just short of anything?
Any other needed coordination?

Tetch would have wanted to at least take a call with Astral Extractions, so they're not explicitly showing favoritism, but aside from that, would have wanted to see if they(the group) could wrangle any promotional items from any sponsors (profit good, dying bad) that might aid their survival.

How many credits have we gotten? Was it 600 each or total from the Ambassador?

He hasn't paid anything up front, he has offered 600 credits total for the mediation, and an extra 500 credits each if you deliver his cargo from the Acreon to him - he hasn't paid any of this to any of you yet.
