First success has come in! Keep up the great work everyone. Use those aid tokens and pass them around.

Our table thanks you!!

A small team of rookie Starfinders make an undead former captain dead-er and recover valuable intel from the wreckage of the Parting Glance! Another Success for Scout Mission 3: Recovery Efforts, reported.

I've modified the aid token sheet "date received" column to "date last received". The only difference is we won't delete the date when moving it from one table to another. My thinking is that it helps identify which table hasn't received a token in a while and helps with figuring out who to pass it on to next.

Of course Xain and my table would still appreciate getting a token often as we've got 4-player tables. Thanks!!

And our table has completed mission #5: Captive interview!

Sorry if I missed the instructions elsewhere but please let me know if I should be reporting missions successes elsewhere...

There's a Success Reporting Form linked at the top of this page.

Oh right. Totally missed that. Thank you!

We will pass it to you, boosted, whenever we get it! Thanks for the modification to the table. It will tell us if anyone has been getting skipped altogether.

Hmm

I think my group is going to have to stay out of the Starship Combat from now on.

Five players, no one who can really fill the Science Officer station, the Engineer is also struggling. On the good side, I became a lot more familiar with the Chief Mate station and they made good use of the Magic Officer to scan the enemy vessel.

Yes, thanks for updating the form. If you folks can think of ways to improve any of the forms, please do so. I want to make this all as easy to read for you as possible to run your games.

How did you handle the ship roles? Do you have one united set of cheat sheets that includes COM? I think I may have to use two different sets of cheat sheets for this unless someone has united them.

Do you have cheatsheets for the COM roles yet? I can attempt to combine them. I sent a message off to the author to see if he has an updated sheet for us.

My players have been using Archives of Nethys for Starship Combat roles. They seem to have a good handle on what can be done, just lack the skills on the characters they are playing.

I suppose I should be more organized about it. Took me some effort to find where they were.

Chief Mate
Magic Officer

All the ones from Starfinder CRB

Only way I could find them was knowing what book they were in.

I use Kluddes cheat sheet myself. It was updated from the FAQ, but doesn't have the COM roles in it yet.

I plan to use this slide deck, which I adapted from one someone posted on the forums. It includes the COM roles.

Passing an aid token from my table to Numbat's!

Tyranius, here's my rough COM Cheat Sheets.

A small rookie team uncovers information about a double agent and deals with the demons sent to silence them.

Thanks for the great cheat sheets everyone. I still have not received a response from the author of the originals so I went in and manually edited it all myself to add in the COM roles.

Starship Roles Cheat Sheet w/ COM Roles

You are of course welcome to use whichever ones work best for you and your tables as it is only a quick glance cheatsheet.

Starship Roles Cheat Sheet w/ COM Roles

Thanks - I have the original set laminated up, now I can laminate some of the new ones too!

Awesome, Tyranius!

I tried to leave them as separate pages so I could just print out those ones as I also laminated a couple sets. since I starting going to a semi-local con :).

I'm really hoping that semi-local convention isn't for a number of months! With the way things are going, I'm guessing that September conventions may be the first ones that actually are allowed to happen.

Hmm

I look forward to face to face gaming eventually!

I'm optimistic PaizoCon South Pacific will go ahead as planned in Nov. At least that will mean there was one PaizoCon this year. I am curious what this all means for multis though, and if one will still be produced for 2020.

SFS 3-00 should already be in production if not complete/nearing completion, of course they usually debut at origins which likely will not occur as planned. I doubt they will want to delay its release too much though as it doesn't make sense to move on with season 3 without wrapping up season 2. Perhaps as with many things right now they will move its debut online.

Hey guys, I've got a question on scout mission 3: Recovery Efforts. Does the nihili special ability Decompression Gaze stack? So if surrounded by 3 nihili, will a player have to roll Fort three times?

Before I simply select someone who hasn't had one yet - does anyone need an Aid Token with Boosted Allied Offensive?

Not so much a stack but I would treat each separately with three separate fort saves. A character may save well against one but not another.

I can't get to my table until later tonight. If a backup GM wants to move them forward in Starship Combat, or at least resolve gunnery, that would be great.

I'm back earlier than expected! I will take my table from here!

You guys are going to close all of these Part 1 missions out on me at once aren't you? :)

Almost finished with our second one. Almost.

Anything that we can do to make life difficult for you, we'll try our best!!! ;-)

Almost finished with our second one. Almost.

Just waiting on someone to hit the zombies hard enough here!

Second one coming to a close - I'm tracking that they should run about 5 days a piece for eager kids who want to do them all...

If one becomes available, my table can use another aid token. Thank you!!

Someday an aid token will come our way so we might be able to give it to people who need it. (Though if there's a need somewhere else it should go there first.)

Incoming!

Our aid token just got used - any need?

If you still have it, my table could use it.

The aid token has been used. If anyone is in need, let me know.

Also, it is unboosted. If someone who's party doesn't need it would like to boost it and pass it off, bigboom's table of 4 is without an aid token at the moment.

I'll pass if off tomorrow, if no one claims it by then.

My table has decided to use the boost on their token and pass it on. I'll send it to BigBoom's table

My table is having a little problem with the security on the interrogation mission. They would probably like an Aid Token, but they also started with one.

Everyone has had an aid token at this point. So it is yours if you want it. Since our tables of 4 now have them, you were one of the people I would have randomly rolled to see who got it since your last received date is ties for oldest.

I think you can only use one token per encounter though. So if they started with one..and I assume they used it already since they are having a little problem. They'd need to wait till the next encounter to use another aid token.

I believe he meant that they started the game with one, not so much used it on that encounter.

They started the game with one, used it to get their success on the first mission, and now are on their second mission.

Crit happened, so they may not need it anymore.

Keep up the great work and keep pushing everyone. We are very close to closing out several of the Part 1 Missions.
