At the risk of sounding conceited has this been a busy week for everyone or did I somehow kill the campaign?

Jeez, sorry all. My dad passed away on Monday and I forgot to come here to warn you I'd be away for a bit. I'll get things restarted next Tuesday the 29th.
Tegrodera Meloidae |
Ditto to all the above, and I'm sorry for the ill-timed nature of my comment.
GM Sparrowhawk |
Success on the Intimidates! Have a busy morning but will move us forward later today. This is one of those set pieces that doesn't work as well in PbP. At a table, it would be resolved more easily. I haven't given up on doing some virtual tabletop sessions. 2020 needs to stop throwing challenges at me.
GM Sparrowhawk |
Busy day - hope to move us along by tonight or tomorrow. Feel free to RP, buy/sell, etc. before then, and let me know if there is anything else you'd like to do before heading to the temple.
Tegrodera Meloidae |
Having just looked at the picture of the temple I'm strongly questioning whether Hylax is a "good" deity or not. That place looks ominous and foreboding as hell...
GM Sparrowhawk |
Yeah, I think that's what happens when they put these art orders out to artists who don't know the actual world/lore. It is CREEPY looking in the pic - tone in down in your mental image. :)
GM Sparrowhawk |
Sorry for delay - there is gear on the SDF soldiers but I want to tweak it a bit. Hoping to have that for you today, and then we'll get into the Swarm situation. You'll be able to have a surprise round there, so consider how you want to set up for that.
Tegrodera Meloidae |
Hey all, I wanted to check-in regarding my non-combat posts of late as I've been concerned if I'm slowing down the action or not? If so I'd be happy to hear any recommendations y'all may have so I can improve for the future!
GM Sparrowhawk |
For what it's worth, this was my thinking on weapons:
Tactical Formian Venomcaster = Tegrodera
Tactical Switchblade = Aysén
Explorer Handcoil = Telsix
Tactical Infinity Rifle = Sevash
The rest you'll have to work out.
Casey, sorry if you feel like the timing of your posts is slowing us down, but I don't feel that way at all.
Once you decide if you want something, we can move to ambushing these vorphoma.
Telsix Collective |
Feel the same way, Casey.
I'll take that zapper gun!
Tegrodera Meloidae |
Thanks everyone, it's likely just me being me but I'd felt concerned and wanted to make sure I wasn't upsetting anything.
P.S. If no one else is interested I'd love the Venomcaster he said while crying joyful tears of longarm proficiency
GM Sparrowhawk |
Regarding the pre-buff on the boosts - since they only last rounds per modifier, by the time you got everyone boosted, the first person would be wearing off. In this particular situation, I'm good with you boosting two people as part of the surprise round.
If everyone wants to decide their actions and place themselves on the map, I'll get the fight start tomorrow. I'm too anxious about the election to sit still long enough to get it set up!
GM Sparrowhawk |
Sorry all - slammed today, will tick us forward tomorrow (or later tonight at earliest).
Tegrodera Meloidae |
With the assumption that we'll all have a break of some kind as the holidays approach, would it be feasible to attempt a synchronous Roll20 session sometime in the coming weeks? After today I'll be working remotely until about January 4th with a healthy amount of availability between.
I'm happy to try and coordinate schedules if that helps too!
GM Sparrowhawk |
I'm game for some synchronous play - I still haven't had the time to learn Roll20...can folks restate what evenings might work? Daytime play, especially during holiday breaks, is harder than nights. I imagine Tuesdays are out due to the Redcaps' game night Matt and Casey GM in quite a bit. I'm open to just about any other night.
Tegrodera Meloidae |
Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays generally work for me along with some weekends. As of now anytime on Saturday, Dec. 5th or before 5pm on Sunday, Dec. 20th I can certainly do.
Sevash Talyx |
My evenings are booked until Dec 10th, but after that I'm good except tuesday/thursday
I take my board exams the 19th, so prob not the 18th either
Tegrodera Meloidae |
So at a glance seems like a Wednesday evening after Dec. 10th, along with weekends aside from the 18th & 19th would be our best bet?
Also, happy belated-Thanksgiving Suskillon Defense force!

Sorry, school is cancelled so in dad mode mostly yesterday through the forseeable future. Will try to get a post up today, likely around 1:30pm

Good times last night - info on Terminus Wild up on the slide show (across 2 slides). Will get the finale up and running over the weekend. Happy New Year!

Yes, it was great. Happy New Year!
Tegrodera Meloidae |
Assuming we survive long enough to take-off our ship looks pretty great. Happy New Year everyone!
Tegrodera Meloidae |
Following our first synchronous session, would it be feasible for us to aim for doing at least one a month? If so, is there a preferred day and time for everyone?
Telsix Collective |
Wednesdays are probably best. I could do Fridays, but I have a game every other.
GM Sparrowhawk |
Wed and Fridays also work for me. I can't guarantee monthly, but something close to it is what I would be happy to shoot for.
Tegrodera Meloidae |
Regarding synchronous I wouldn't be available Wednesday from February - April but could likely do a Friday or weekend during that time. After those months though could certainly do Hump Day!
Telsix Collective |
Woohoo!
Loved that last screen.
GM Sparrowhawk |
Ack - snow day + start of semester means I'm not ready to start book 2 today. Sevash could give me a piloting check to plot the course to Utraneus, the planned fall back planet.
GM Sparrowhawk |
Feel free to share what you got at 3rd level that might be of interest to your fellow soldiers (and your GM).
Aysén Ory |
I believe the only new ability I get is sidereal influence, which let's me add 1d6 to an intimidate or bluff check, depending on which stellar mode I choose when I meditate.
Telsix Collective |
I got Blind-Fight and my blindsense range increased to 60 ft. Also, Spell Focus.
GM Sparrowhawk |
Just a reminder, once you level up to please update your info both in your character header, and skill and save info on slides 4&5 of the slide deck. Thanks!
Tegrodera Meloidae |
The exciting things that Tegrodera got from level 3 are a little more use out of the minor biohacks (can treat drugs/poison from afar!) and the ability to either remove the dazzled, fascinated, or shaken condition from allies or impose the dazzled condition on enemies with basic (consumable) biohacks.
Beyond that I'm struggling for feat selections that I hoped y'all could lend some guidance on. I was originally planning on choosing Quicker Trickler which makes it faster to apply a healing serum to others, but based on all the psychic RP from the Swarm and our rescued Shirren priest I'm now also considering Soothing Telepathy for the personal and party benefit. Thoughts?
Sevash Talyx |
Soothing Telepathy seems really clutch
Quicker trickler seems weird to me because I thought healing serums were treated as syringes and were a standard action to give to each other. Though, that might have been a collective mistake we have been making.
I will update my cha tomorrow. Sorry for the delay. Been pulling a bunch of 16 hour days to get my lab stuff wrapped up before the move

Lexington KY. I got a post doc position at university of KY to study regeneration in spiny mice :)
Also, character is up to date
I now have a bonus to my will save and the overload class feature (lets me shut down an electronic device for a round, like a door, computer etc.)
Tegrodera Meloidae |
Congratulations Robyn!
Just updated character on the slide deck and will do header and sheet soon.
