Welcome to Gameday IX and thank you for joining my table of 3-00 The Last Bite! More details coming soon!
Krara |
Dotting in (as early GM signup) and looking forward to it!
Will be planning on using Krara on the (hopefully safe assumption) the one table she's in should comfortably finish this month. Worst case, I have a level 5 Biohacker who could e going on this journey with us
GM bigboom |
Sounds good. Hope Krara's table goes smoothly and as planned with no hiccups! Also, feel free to formally dot in on the gameplay thread if you wish!
Hef Sadir |
Also popping in with Hef (GM early signup). Looking forward to this special!
GM bigboom |
Welcome! Welcome! Nice to see so many familiar faces... errr... familiar names!!
Chk'tarlsh |
Hi everyone! Looking forward to playing with you all.
I had my first taste of playing a special during Outpost III (coincidentally, with Hef) and looking forward to a second course!
*Please disregard the stat block currently displayed - Chk'tarlsh just hit 5 at the conclusion of his last mission.

I suppose it would be really awkward if I had to backup GM this particular game, Lol.
GM bigboom is out of commission for a day so backup GM Sauros takes over....
As backup GM, Sauros declares that Sauros rises from his unconscious state (having gone down in combat) into the air and spontaneously emanates 'I Win' cookies in a 2km burst that knocks all enemies unconscious while filling the mouths of all allies (Will save DC100 to resist) with chocolate chip cookie goodness.
The next day, GM bigboom returns and reacts...WTF?!?!

And then poor Redelia/Twich needs to explain to the rest of the PbP Venture Team what happened... :)

Heya everyone!!! I now have the slides up! Links are up top and in my name header!
We're about a week away from starting so I ask that everyone please go ahead and enter your character information into slide 2, including dayjob rolls. You may roll your dayjobs here in the discussion thread. (...and if you're optimistic enough to think your character will survive....muahaha!!!)
And then on slide 3, please enter your initiative and your perception. Also on slide 3, please set up your marching order.
If you haven't already, please:
1) Bring your character sheets up to date
2) Dot in on the gameplay thread
Lastly, feel free to introduce yourselves in character and/or banter in the gameplay thread prior to our official start (of your poor characters' deaths...) on Sept 1.
Any questions? Please fire away!!!
(no wait, have I been thinking out loud again...?!?)
Sauros |
Just updated Sauros with new armor! Ready to go!
An intoxicating smell emanates from Sauros as he leans back in his seat muching on a bag of Salty Stars brand pretzel bites.
"DUDES, the entropy of the UNIVERSE is so fascinating! I've been helping the Deep Cultures Institute study the inside of Mataras. It's CRAZY that there are species living inside the SUN!"
He quickly drips some eyedrops in his eyes and continues staring at a screen depicting the chaotic upwelling of plasma inside the Pact World's sun.

Krara |
Yup: those Magic Officer/Chief Mate roles are just part of the rules now though given we're definitely gonna need a Pilot the point may be moot :)
Also GM Bigboom: forgot to post above but Krar's player has the Datch's Dispassion boon (on another PC obv)

Chk'tarlsh |
Chk'tarlsh is good at shooting stuff and not much else.

You don't need the extra books for the Starship Combat roles ^_^
Oooh, that is sweet! Good deal. I don't pay all of the attention to all the nitty gritty rule stuff from SFS and have only bought the Core book so far, so assumed you needed the extra books to get access to any of those extra things. Either way it appears he'll by trying to pilot the ship around asteroids instead of through them. Wish him luck!
I spend more money and time on pfs1 and pfs2, so I have to make my choices. :(
Drake?
GM bigboom |
Alrighty everyone! We'll be starting soon!! On that note, I've revealed several slides.
Slide 4 lists several relevant boons that are suggested for slotting if your character has it.
Slides 5-7 describes the rules behind aid tokens and the possible benefits you get when using them.
Note that aid tokens can be used once per encounter, so it is best to use them early and use them often. The more you do, the quicker they can be passed around to other tables and eventually back to you again!
I'll remind you during the encounter if an aid token is available for you. Also, in order to encourage the sharing of aid token love, I'm going to implement an experimental rule where if a token is received and not used by the end of the next encounter (i.e. this table will have the opportunity to use a token within two encounters), I'll have a player attempt to boost then pass it on.
On that note, I'm happy to inform you that our table has won a random draw and we'll be starting out with an aid token once the missions start!
And finally, I'll be putting up a couple more links under the campaign to overall mission success progress and the aid token exchange sheet so you can monitor those if you're interested.
GM bigboom |
Oh and another note. Listed below is the timeline for this special so you've got an idea of how much time we've got for each portion. I've also linked it under the campaign.
START DATE: 01 Sept 2020
INTRODUCTION: 01 Sept 2020 (2 DAYS)
PART 1 & 2: 03 Sept 2020 (20 DAYS)
PART 3: 23 Sept 2020 (8 DAYS)
PART 4: 30 Sept 2020 (15 DAYS)
CONCLUSION: 14 Oct 2020
GM bigboom |
Yep, that's possible. But may not be likely as that'd require most tables to move more quickly than what I've seen in the past.
Krara |
Go home Kharl Krara snorts to her dwarf. This'll be a firefight. Not a place for a tablet nerd.
The dwarf seems just as thrilled to be staying home.
Forgot I had Acquainted with Datch on Krara. She'll be slotting that in the Ally slot.
GM bigboom |
Good point! But unfortunately no. That boon would have to be held by the character at the table. So the Data Stalker boon won't apply to any of us here at this table.
Chk'tarlsh |
Ally: Acquainted with Datch
Faction: Exo-Guardians Champion, Improved
Personal: -
Promotional -
Social: Live Air Celebrity
Starship: Automated Defenses
Slotless: Marked Field Agent, Private Vault, Starfinder Society Care Package (Limited Use)
Hef Sadir |
Absolutely loved "The Expanse" reference in your last post. I can proudly say I recognized the accent used without needing the clip. I'm looking forward to the next season quite a bit.
Boons slotted for Posterity

Jinsul Witness (Personal Boon)
Journey to the Scoured Stars: Segment 7 (Unidentified Boon)

Everyone, just a FYI...
I'll be on a trip from Sept 28 to Oct 2. As a result, I may not be able to keep up frequent posting during that period. So I'm going to request a backup GM, if available, to hop on board to help cover those days.
So never fear... at least you'll get a "reasonable" experience from your GM for those 5 days.
unless Sauros really does get assigned as your GM....kekeke!
GM bigboom |
My bad! We're pretty much at the end of this mission and I should have asked earlier for the group to decide what the next mission will be so that we can roll straight into the next one. On that note, any preferences?
There was previously a preference for for mission 1 and 5 so if there are no posted preferences soon-ish, I'll go with...
mission 1, 5: 1d2 ⇒ 1
...Mission 1!!
Chk'tarlsh |
Mission 1 sounds good to me.
I was playing a bit of catch up at the start and didn't get to address the rewards granted by the VIPs. Would it be okay to retcon the selection of the items from before our departure from Absalom Station?
If so, Chk'tarlsh collected a mk 1 serum of healing and a mk 2 sticky bomb grenade.
GM bigboom |
Here ya go!!
Unless there were enhancements made to the forums that I'm unaware of, the inside spoiler cannot be labelled with an '=' symobl. That's why I put the INT DC10 instructions in OOC text.
--------------------
INT DC10 to read the following...
--------------------
(spoiler=Those who enter the Nova room)This dimly lit room is packed with patrons stooped over automated gambling stations. Flickering slot machines line the walls. The room is filled primarily with tourists dressed in t-shirts, shorts and sandals playing nickel slots.
INT DC10 to read the following...
(spoiler)You deduce that an AbadarCorp board member would not likely spend her time with these games.(/spoiler)(/spoiler)
GM bigboom |
Sorry Charles, I missed your post as I was typing up the mission wrap-up:: https://paizo.com/campaigns/v5748p75ivldu/gameplay&page=3#124
However, if you're curious about Juta, then pulling back the curtain a bit.... But if you plan to replay this again in the future, you may not want to read this. Spoiler Alert!
Chk'tarlsh |
No problem. These things happen :)
Thanks for mentioning it, though.
