Welcome Everyone!
We can begin mustering now (and selecting pregens), and will start playing next week as soon as everyone is here.
Please try to maintain a posting rate of 1 or more posts per weekday. Weekends (and holidays) are almost always busy for me (less so these past two months...), so I may or may not post during that timeframe. I'll accept the same from you.
If you are going to be unable to post for an extended period, please let us know, and we'll have someone bot you.
Please provide the following info to me for your chronicle sheets:
Player name: Your name, as you want it to appear on the chronicle
Pregen character: Which pregen will you be playing
Character name: The name of your character getting the chronicle
Organized play #-#: Your society play and character numbers
Faction: Character's faction
Link to character: Either your profile (ex. Rex) or some other online character sheet. Having this will make it easier to bot your character if needed.
As this adventure uses pregens, there is no boon slotting or day job rolls.
Player name: The Ragi
Pregen character: Obozaya
Character name: Monstruwacan
Organized play #-#: 291669-707
Faction: Dataphile
Link to character: link here Though I still have to fill it out - and I'll also update the character profile in this forum.
Given that they are all pregens, the character sheet info is less important, so no worries. I should have modified my wording on that.
Thanks a lot for GMing!

Going to put down Barsala as pregen choice, haven't had much opportunity to play a biohacker yet :)
GMW, thanks for running the game.
Peff, Cap'n Bacon, Ragi, good to see you guys again.
Nowruz, I think this is our first game together. Nice to meet you.
So,
Peff -- Barsala, biohacker
Captain Bacon == Keskodai, mystic
Nowruz == Iseph, operative
The Ragi -- Obozaya, soldier
I'll dig up the technomancer pregen and play that. Paperwork forthcoming tonight.
If our sixth wants to play a technomancer, I'll change.
Heather is going with Navasi, so you are good with Raia.
For those of you familiar with the various Starfinder story lines, this adventure takes place only a few months after the Scoured Stars incident, and before any of the pregen characters joined the Society. Each of you has been hired as a mercenary by Luwazi Elsebo for a secretive mission
Howdy!

Nice to see you too, Thom. Ragi too, let's hope this scenario ends in less confrontation from our characters :P
Pleased to meet you for the others!

I think Obozaya is just a jolly vesk without much ambition, though I really need to freshen up on her backstory. Shouldn't be too much of a problem...
Haha it's all good, conflict is part of the game after all (and quite entertaining if you ask me)... Though I'll need to brush up on that too.
Thanks for the warm welcome! Looking forward to game with you.
I have not played Starfinder in over two years so I am very rusty with the rules.
Just tell me if I use a Pathfinder rule by mistake.
GMW, here's the paperwork.
Player name: therealthom
Pregen character: Raia
Character name: Ears
Organized play #-#: 90661-702
Faction: Acquisitives
Ears is only 2nd level so I'll be saving this chronicle until he levels. I'll be playing using my Pregen Dakoyo alias and will put the pregen info in there.
You can skip the bluff. Warden just wants stories.
Good lord, this Livewire is gonna take us for clowns. Let's hope we are using up all our bad rolls right now.
Because obviously that's how probabilities work.
Oh no.
We'll see how GMW rules. Maybe we can try again with money up front?
Three enemy ships? We are going to wish we had the drake.
Probably fastest to settle roles here.
Raia's SHip-type Skills :
Engineer +11
Pilot +9
Captain, +7, +5
Sci Officer +4
Gunner would be +5 ? (+3 BAB + dex)
On my phone so can't check the stat block but science officer is probably best placement for Barsala, possibly a gunner to knock these things out faster
I actually have a +7 to Gunnery, and otherwise a +8 to Chief Mate actions.
Considering the amount of targets and weapons, I think I'll be one of the gunners.

Bruneau has
Pilot +9 (4 ranks)
The flavor text on my character says :Navasi has built a reputation—perhaps more than is wise
for a woman with a price on her head—as a talented freelance captain, putting together crews for adventures ranging from planetary scouting and private security to her old talent for
“procurement,” though she’s careful about what jobs she and her friends take on. "
I think I could be a pilot, captain, (or a gunner BAB and Dex = +5)?
After looking at Barsala's sheet...eesh. Yeah. I think she'll take gunner seat or just throw out support via open roles.
Keskodai's +8 diplomacy is the only score good for a core role. (I'm not up to date on the new rolls. ) +4 Gunner.
I'm not used to them either. RP-wise it would probably make sense to make Bruneau the captain. Looking at the new roles, it seems like Magic Officer is based off Mysticism, so Keskodai would have a +13, although I have no idea how useful the role actually is.
A +9 gunnery check (with the computer bonus) isn't too terrible, but it'll depend on how crappy the goblin ships are.
Attack (Forward) light particle beam (3d6) - Medium range
Attack (Port) laser net (2d6) - Short range, Point (+10)
Attack (Starboard) light laser cannon (2d4) - Short range
Attack (Turret) light particle beam (3d6) - Medium range
With this weaponry though... I'd prefer to let them board us and just whack them with a doshko.
Sounds like your first round will be:
Bruneau - Captain
Obozaya - Gunner
Keskodai - Magic Officer
Barsala - Gunner
Raia - Engineer
Iseph - Pilot
If needed, you can move after the first round is done.
How about putting us between two ships? We can fire 3 weapons then.
I am super new to Starfinder. So I’ll try my best to do that. :-)
Everybody wants to shoot a gun. XD
I hope the new starship book has options to be more Star Wars than Star Trek in starship combat.
I really want to see some electronic warfare options, here's hoping!
Bodacious Space Pirates has some great examples of electronic combat between starships.
I think Iseph can drop us unto Green's 6 with green in our forward arc. Even better, without some fancy maneuvering, I think blue will only be able to get a shot at our flank or forward shields.
We should have work for all the gunners.
Do you just want to bot me then. I am not that well versed with the maneuvers. :-(
Apologies, bit of a rough week for me. I'll try to post more, but feel free to bot me if it happens again.
No, Noral, you are the pilot. I'm just happy that it looks like we can get into a good firing position. Most ship combats that I've been in have been a brutal slogs.
Aargh! Tractor took away our forward arc shot!
(See brutal slog comment above.)
I blame the scenario for giving us this crummy ship.
But my next rolls will also be amazing.
Facepalm. So many facepalms.
That's an epically failed roll. And I should know -- I've also made more than my share.
After the battle Barsala should check in the med bay and be tested for the Can't Roll Dice flu... =D
I just realized the round is done, with a whopping 6 damage accomplished.
Almost 3 days for 6 damage... why would anyone ever put a pegasus ship in a scenario, it's beyond me.
In their defense, this was the very first adventure they released. Once you defeat a second ship, we'll fast forward a bit and take the defeat of the third as a given.
Didn't Into the Unknown come out first? That had 2 starship combats, but at least the second one was with a Drake.
You may be right, but definitely one of the first two.
