[SFS] GM Nefreet's #1-10: The Half-Alive Streets (Inactive)

Game Master Nefreet

Signups are in the link above ^_^

I want to maintain a brisk pace with this scenario. Please do not sign up if you are unable to commit to 1-2 posts a day (including weekends).

The main theme is investigation, so there can be quite a bit of dialogue. I will be moving the story along once at least half the party has voiced a decision.

Lastly, if your character possesses the "AbadarCorp Respect" Boon from #1-02: Fugitive on the Red Planet, I recommend slotting it.

Looking forward to GMing for you!

I would be interested with Lexicor (I did not see a link to a signup sheet here). This would be only his 2nd mission (still level 1). So if you go high-tier he would be out.

You're the first one to report!

I lumped the signup sheet with the NPCs and maps on the Google Slides link above.

If this ends up being high tier you could also just use the Technomancer Pregen and apply the credit to your Level 1 PC.

I have a level 1 I will be adding to your sign up sheet in the morning. Having trouble trying to do our in my phone.

An entire party of Level 1 Android Technomancers would be so much win ^_^

The Google Slides link is now in my header, since this is the only game I'm currently GMing.

Black Dow here with Kultha - a Vesk (Exocortex) Mechanic 1. (sorry for breaking up the Android party lol)

This would be her 3rd mission, so would get me to Level 2 (should she make it) - will get signed up.

@GM Nefreet: Couple of questions...

- Kultha's encountered Julzakama before (when she played through Into the Unknown). They had some good banter/flirtation about battle wounds and not being warriors - I'll run with them having known each other if ok? We ran with Vesk being Russian so there was some back and forth :)

- Was planning on her buying a Hideaway Limb for her damaged tail (from the credits she gained in Yesterday's Truth) However Prosthetic Limb doesn't list tail as an option (so just checking you're okay with that before I purchase) Of course given the initial intro flavour - could be I just wait to see what the adventure throws up!

In a Homegame, for a Vesk with the Prehensile Tail alternate racial trait, I'd be happy to make that Houserule. But since you can't really "customize" mechanics like that in Society, I think you're limited to just "arm or leg".

You are correct in intuiting that there may be more than one in-character reason why Kultha won't want that particular Augmentation after this scenario is over ;-)

But, generally, it's always best practice to craft your Society character with the most conservative interpretation in case you encounter a GM (or series of GMs) who says "Not at my table". Then you've wasted resources for a game (or series of games) that could have gone elsewhere.

It looks like the only leeway a GM normally has, based on the item's description, is what we think will fit inside. I would be more generous in hiding something in a Vesk's leg than a Human's leg, for example, based solely on their Height and Weight entries in the Core Rulebook. But even that might not be consistent from table to table.

However, I have good news!

A while back, the discussion surrounding non-standard prosthetics led to the allowance of prosthetic eyes, in the case of a character losing an eye to the Wound critical hit effect. In that same post, Thurston alluded to the possibility that future Core Rulebook errata might include non-standard prosthetics for non-standard races.

So keep your fingers crossed!

Heh. Nice. I've encountered Julzakama as Italian Mob, Klingon, New York/New Jersey, or just general uneducated riff-raff. Russian is a new one!

That's one of the reasons I really like the PbP format. Whereas in-person games have limited time for roleplay, PbP affords you a platform where you can truly indulge your whole character.

I can't sing in real life, but a singing Goblin was my first Pathfinder 2 character. Gives me time to research limericks.

I'll read over your previous game today and try to incorporate Arvin's and Julzakama's responses accordingly. I can't promise the same level of Russian proficiency, but every good business owner or salesperson kind of plays up mutual affiliations (or even flirtations) for potential financial gain ^_^

Gameplay is open now, so feel free to jump in. We have a legal table so I will close signups on Wednesday if nobody else joins.

Cool - sounds perfect GM-N. I'll run with her having the severed tail (last third) no prosthetics - accident is where she got her Exocortex from (and honourable discharge from Vesk Navy).

For some reason I always equated Vesk names to pseudo-russian so ran with that when patterning Kulthalovosh's speech and intonations.

You happy enough for me to post in the game thread or want to wait for the group to be nailed down first (I'll dot regardless, but had a post prepped and readied :)

Edit: Ninja'd my game thread query lol, have duly posted.

My longest running homegame player described Vesk accents perfectly, I think, as variable based on which planet in the Veskarium they were raised on. My current Vesk Vanguard is a total "surfer dude", a byproduct of growing up on starships with Yetis for crew (which, if you haven't played the scenario with Yetis yet, I'll just leave for you to experience yourself).

If you're looking for a bit of variety, perhaps an Envoy to shake things up? Vyecmuraf isn't the nicest kisatha on Absalom station, but they get the job done. Waiting for a chronicle sheet from their initial game of The Commencement, but ready to go after that if there's room at this table.

You're the 4th! And an Envoy, IMO, is perfect. I was going to grab Navasi if we needed a Pregen.

Gameplay has already begun so feel free to post! If you have any purchases you'd like to spend last Chronicle's credits on, the Freemarkets are the perfect place!

Signed up. Bringing an envoy as well. Do we need some variety? I have a dwarven Mechanic 2/operative 1 I could bring as well.

Oh hey Boris! We played together in Fate of the Scoured Stars. I was the surfer vesk, Sauros ^_^

Since this group is solidly low tier, I would probably recommend Boris over your Mechanic, since they'd get less credits for being out-of-tier.

FYI All - I'm in Bonnie Scotland, UK so will be offline for next 8 hours or so getting shuteye.

Enjoying the interplay immensely, promises to be an intriguing and fun game :)

Hey man! That was an AWESOME character! Fun game, other than my network issues, that is. :)

Looking forward to it! This game (if he survives) will get Boris up to 2nd level.

Cool!

Depending on if we can keep pace, and if enough people are interested, I can run other 1-4s after this, since at least a couple of you will hit Level 2.

For Season 1, I haven't GMed It Rests Beneath, yet.

For Season 2, I have lots of options.

And I haven't touched Season 3, yet.

I'm sure i'd be good for another. We'll see how it goes!

I'd love to continue! Assuming I'm not destroyed beforehand.

+1 on kontinuing stellar adventures vith my new komrades and benevolent Overseer :)

I just signed up. My only sub level 4 that I have ready to go is a technomancer. I hope that will be okay.

Happy to have you!

Feel free to jump in to Gameplay ^_^

This is my first starfinder PbP. What is a good way to indicate telepathic speech? I kind of winged it on my introduction.

I don't know if there's a universal consensus. I've seen:

• Bold, Italic, no quotation marks
• Bold, quotation marks replaced with ** front and back
• Bold, quotation marks replaced with ++ front and back

As long as it looks different enough to stand out, since you'll also obviously be speaking occasionally.

I like the way you did it. It definitely stood out, even though I didn't know what it signified at the time.

We are a squishy party. :)

We can do it! Multiple technomancers FTW!

LOL

Well. That WAS a fast run! Thank you all, even though we were squishy we still prevailed against the zambie horde! :)

A big Thank You to Nefreet for running us! Enjoyed it!

Quick clerical question as I have only run Pathfinder society scenarios thus far, not starfinder scenarios. Call the mundane items we have acquired through the scenario goes straight to the society, correct? We keep none of it but get to buy it back from them is my understanding. If that is a case, then I'm going to transfer charges from the found battery to my current battery pack. Ever the pragmatist. That was a lot of fun guys. Can't wait to do it again.

Agree - was immensely fun - great characters, and echoing Boris - huge kudos to GM Nefreet for making this memorable and immersive.

Also looking forward to sharing the virtual table with you all if fate allows, and most of all levelling Kultha up to 2nd (this is her 3rd SFS adventure).

Thank you for the thanks!

I haven't GMed It Rests Beneath, yet, but that is a scenario that requires at least one (or ideally two) frontline characters.

Do any of you have alternates you would be fine subbing in?

I'm currently building a Shirren Soldier (Guard) to start playing with, so could fit him into the frame.

Kultha at 2nd level will be meatier tho' with her Exocortex bonus of +2 and planned upgrades on armour & arms...

The GM's commitment to detail and having fun cannot be overstated - I loved how believable the throwaway NPC of the BioBoost salesman was. And then he came back in the spambot!!! XD

I was not part of the initial setup for this table, so I am uncertain if the offer to continue includes Vyecmuraf and I do not wish to appear presumptuous. But if the offer was extended, I would love to play again and get them to level 2!

Chronicles!

I'll mark this Campaign inactive in a couple days. Until then, anyone who is interested may join the next game HERE. It's a Wayfinders mission, so it should be appropriate for most of you ^_^

If there are any spots left open by then I'll post in the Starfinder Recruitment thread.

I'll level Boris up and go sign up. If we don't get a good front liner, I can grab the soldier pregen or just make a new one up. Have been thinking of making a straight soldier...

I hear there *is* a new crop of Halflings signing up for the Society recently...

Heh. Halfling heavy armor soldier... :)

I'd love to play another if this character would be appropriate.

Thanks so much - that was very fast. Probably 1/10th the time of my first SFS Scenario. :)

Just uploaded the last two Chronicles.

Looking forward to gaming with whoever next!

Hurray! Thanks for running this GM Nefreet. This was a lot of fun. Also thanks everyone else for having fun and interesting characters. I'm pretty new to PbP and the interesting things people add into the game in PbP really make me regret that I haven't tried it sooner.

@GM Nefreet

I'm totally stealing your idea of adding fun RP bonus thingies on the chronicle, particularly when I start GMing PbP. Hopefully I'll be confident enough with the behind the scenes mechanical stuff like maps and google drive stuff to give it a go in a couple of months.

Chronicle looks fine! Thanks! Looking forward to the next game. Now, I need to level Boris soon and change his profile....

Maybe even make a halfling soldier for fun, in case. :)
