[SFS 1-16] [Gameday VIII] GM Cellion's Dreaming of the Future (Inactive)

Game Master Cellion

Hi and welcome all to this table of 1-16 Dreaming of the Future for PbP Gameday VII! We'll be getting started in about a week from now at the beginning of the Gameday proper. While we're getting organized, please provide the following:

1. Player Name for the chronicle
2. Character Name
3. Class and Level
4. SFS# (and dash)
5. Which faction will you be championing?
6. Day job Roll (if any)

Also, if you have anything odd/unusual about your character that I should know, please say so now.

Go ahead and dot into gameplay when you're ready.

Hi!

I was hoping to join your table. I have some experience as both a player and GM with Pathfinder games, but I am new at Starfinder (and PbP).

I have made a SFS character named Tail Blaster. He's a level 1 (bounty hunter) mechanic.

1. Sandular
2. Tail Blaster
3. Mechanic 1
4. 2373096-701
5. Acquisitives
6. Day job (Pilot): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13.

Sure thing Sandular. While you've already checked in here, please also put your info on my sign up sheet at this link here, so other people will be aware that one spot is taken.

Hi everyone! I just finished a game (TheRealThom was the GM) with this character. I played Against the Aeon Throne in Campaign Mode with her, so I'm trying to get enough XP to unlock the second two chronicle sheets from the AP.

1. Nick Wasko
2. Hermena
3. Soldier (sharpshooter) 2
4. 142160-702
5. Exo-Guardians (Hermena is originally an Acquisitives faction member, but the role I see for her more closely aligns with the Exo-Guardians. Since her last adventure was specifically for the Exo-Guardian faction leader, it seemed like an appropriate time to spend 2 Fame to purchase the Exo-Guardians Champion boon and slot it for this adventure.)
6. Day Job - Profession (surveyor): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9 NOTE: This is not a typical Day Job check; it is going towards checking off one box on the Rebuilding Nakondis slotless boon from my AP #7 chronicle sheet (unfortunately without success, so the downtime is spent without any reward). Please let me know if you have any questions.

As for anything odd or unusual, as a sarcesian Hermena is Large, taking up a 10-foot square and having 10-foot reach. She also has the Void Flyer ability, which grants her a fly speed when she is in a vacuum, and she's a native of the Diaspora (which is one of the locales we will visit in this adventure, according to the product description).

1. Player Name for the chronicle
Dax Thura
2. Character Name
Basalt Stonepeak
3. Class and Level
Envoy 2
4. SFS# (and dash)
33973-15
5. Which faction will you be championing?
Wayfinders
6. Day job Roll (if any)
None

Hi all you folks who have checked in already!

As a heads up, the Gameday VIII coordinators have decided to delay the start of Gameday by two weeks because GMs who were waiting to get scenarios have not yet gotten them. You can find the full announcement at this link!

This means we'll be getting started September 9th. Sorry for the delay!

That's alright. Is it okay if I play with a different character? I have some ideas for another interesting character.

No problems Sandular. Let me know if you have any questions ahead of us starting.

Hi folks! We're coming up on new start date for Gameday, so I'd like to do a quick roll call to make sure we have our table. Can everyone chime in here in discussion in the next couple of days?

I'll see if I can PM our remaining player(s) before we start.

Present with pulse gauntlet ready and laser pistol primed.

Ready to go!

1. Player Name for the chronicle : therealthom
2. Character Name : Burnham Kenyon
3. Class and Level : Soldier 1
4. SFS# (and dash): 90661-704
5. Which faction will you be championing? Exo-Guardians
6. Day job Roll (if any) None

Burn's a vanilla soldier who's motto is "Everyone gets home alive." He's balanced between ranged and melee, so for this mission, I'll get him a nicer melee weapon and Hermena can shoot over his shoulder.

Checking in with Burn.

1. Player Name: RedWolfe77
2. Character Name: Linsniket "Snik" Sardon
3. Class and Level: Operitive 1
4. SFS# (and dash): 2366853-701
5. Which faction will you be championing?: Dataphiles
6. Day job Roll (if any): None

I have my Laser Pistol at the ready.

Snik's a better pilot, Hermena's a better gunner. For now Burn'll plan on sitting a secondary gun in combat.

Cellion, before we leave, Burn wants to buy a longsword. That will leave him 388 credits.

Burn's got no good usable boons.

Gotcha on the longsword!

Basalt- diplomacy +10, intimidate +7
Burnham has pilot +7, gunner +4
Hermena- pilot +8, gunner +5
Snik- computers +10, engineering +12, pilot +10
Tail Blaster- computer +7, engineering +7, gunnery +4
Troy- computer +8, engineering +8, pilot +8, gunnery +4

With these numbers I suggest

Captain- Basalt
Pilot- Snik
Engineer- Troy
SO- Tail Blaster
Gun- Burnham
Gun- Hermena

Tail Blaster was my first character. But I decided to play with Troy Stardust instead. So Tail Blaster is not part of this scenario.

I can do the Engineer, Hermena could be the pilot, and troy That will drop the Pilot check by 2 but at least we'll still have a Science officer and I could make engineer checks at 12.

OK. Let's go with Snik's suggestion.

Basalt's boons are in his profile, also here for easy reference

Wayfinders Champion (faction)
[X} Dwarven Admittance (personal, limited)
[ ] [ ] [ ] Faction’s Friend (Social; Limited)
Basic Purchasing Plan (Slotless)
Marked Field Agent (Slotless)
[X] Scoured Stars Veteran (slotless, limited)
Star Sugar Heartlove!!! (Slotless; Limited)

Here are Hermena's boons for quick reference:

Sorry for the absence, guys. Two very hard days at work and my parents are visiting. May not be able to post regularly until Sunday night.

So is the Loreseeker glitching or the River Rat?

NM The description threw me but I see the status.

FYI I’m on call today, so I may not be able to post and if I do it will be quite late. Bot me if necessary.

Thanks for the heads up!

Once again I will be on call tomorrow (9/24), so don't wait up for my response and bot me if necessary. This is my last call night for this rotation, so hopefully I'll be more consistent from Wednesday onward.

Snik's a better pilot, Hermena's a better gunner. For now Burn'll plan on sitting a secondary gun in combat.

Cellion, before we leave, Burn wants to buy a longsword. That will leave him 388 credits.

Burn's got no good usable boons.

Cellion before we go to the club, Burn might want to pick up some second skin armor. (250 credits) I'll see how the others feel about things before a making a final decision.

Looks like Burn's buying the armor. 388-250 = 138 credits left.

The Dice hate me. :(

I copied the trick attack tag and re entered the dice rolls. It came up the exact same as last time. GM Cellion if you want to reroll the trick attack for me you can.

It would be hilarious if Bogdin goes down without a hit from any of us.

Maybe the androids can take Bogdin out while he's blinded.

A fourth task! I had thought we were done with the three pieces recovered. It's a special bonus, like going into overtime.

As we're coming up to the end of this scenario relatively soon (next week or two), its time to see if anyone has won fabulous prizes :>

Lets get those PbP Gameday VIII boons rolled! Go ahead and roll yourself a d20. A 19 or 20 wins you a boon (if you get a 19 or 20, also roll a d3 so we know which boon you've gotten).

Paizo Disappointment Generator v.2019d: 1d20 ⇒ 11 Nothing for me, unfortunately

Boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 3

Haha nope.

Boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 7

Nope, same here...

1d20 ⇒ 17

So close yet so far...

Boon: 1d20 ⇒ 7

Boon roll: 1d20 ⇒ 7

Ooof. Last time I ran this, the group of 1st levels absolutely wiped the floor with Kanavu's shade due to a stream of good rolls. Here, he's proving a beast.

My fingers are crossed that the rolls hold in your favor!

Suck! Three straight misses for me.

Hermena, Troy, it's up to you.

Four straight misses on what's basically a 50-50 roll.

Thanks for the retcon, Cellion. Sorry about not updating my header after the bar fight.

No problem! I completely forgot about it and didn't think to check why your AC was so low as a soldier.

And yes, the dice have not been treating the party very kindly :<

2,4,8,16,32,64.

Supposedly this string of rolls is a 1/64 event, but it's all too frustratingly familiar. I'm considering using a mk1 frag grenade. At least it will do something.

I was thinking the same thing.

Do we regain our resolve in transit to and from Absalom station? If so Burn's RP is 3 -- otherwise 2.

GM Cellion can you include the skittermander nufriend on my chronicle.

Thanks for the game.
