[SFS - PbP Gameday IX] 3-00 The Last Bite - GM bigboom (Inactive)

Game Master bigboom

We're getting close to finishing this infiltration mission so I'd like to get feedback on what mission to pick up next.

Covert mission 2 or action mission 4? These are the two missions currently available per slides 3 and 4.

However, I anticipate actions missions 1, 3 and 5 will open up soon so I've unmasked them in case they soon become available.

One vote for Action mission 4.

Two votes for action!

Guns N' Roses (Action Mission 4) works for me too

When in doubt, follow the Envoy!

Too early? Nah! Let's do it! Time to roll for convention boons!

Everyone roll a 1d20 and if you roll a 19 or 20, then you win a boon!

If you win a boon, then roll another 1d3 to determine which boon you win:
1 - Unversal Explorer
2 - Starfinder Season 1 Explorer
3 - Temporal Anomaly

Here's my roll!!
Convention boon roll: 1d20 ⇒ 8

bummer...

boon: 1d20 ⇒ 5

boon: 1d20 ⇒ 15

Boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 18

Bewn: 1d20 ⇒ 3

Hopefully this works - I'm having trouble get posts to stick...

Boon?: 1d20 ⇒ 13

I was having the same problem! I think I submitted that roll like five times.

I think we'll manage to squeeze in one more mission after this one, so going to ask now. For the next mission, what are the preferences? Action mission 1 or Action mission 3?

For what it's worth, I believe action mission 1 will be shorter and we'll have a better chance of finishing that one before the special's timeline moves to the next part away from these missions.

That one!

Yes, one.

Sounds like a plan!

Long day, not able to post; please bot me if needed

Additionally, he has Enhanced Resistance (Kinetic)

Just so you're aware, that feat was recently errata'd; you have to pick between one of the three types of Kinetic DR (bludgeoning, piercing or slashing).

Campaign Leadership has not told us how to proceed, whether we must pick one of the three, or whether we can pick any of the options that Enhanced Resistance offers (such as Fire), or whether we can simply Retrain the entire feat for free.

FWIW, my GM at the time ruled I could trade out the type of damage to anything that the feat allowed.

Ah dang, I was gonna grab that at seven. Definitely not worth it now, whew!

Hmm... what to get instead...

Suggestions or thoughts welcome if anyone is bored.

It's still worth it for one of the energy types.

I'd suggest sonic, or acid, since there are armor upgrades that can cover up to 15 for Fire, Cold and Electricity.

Sauros will probably do Acid, to keep in theme with the Vanguard's abilities.

Will do! On the road at the moment. Will bot soon as I'm able.

Thanks for the info. I hadn't known that.

A bit disappointing as I'd been looking forward to that feat and it was the first time I'd been able to use it!

I'll have to think about alternatives.

It's still a good feat. It's just no longer an AMAZING feat.

Hey, all, I am checking in and am starting to track stuff. I'll be filling in for Big Boom in a few days on the 27th.

Hmm

Hi there, HMM. Welcome aboard!

Very true. I suppose it is just disappointing given what was originally on the packaging. But it actually makes more sense when compared with the energy damage options.

On this note, it took me ages to track down this change - I was searching the errata docs, the SFS Additional Resources items and had somehow totally missed that there was an update to the CRB download!

Thanks again for that tip, Sauros.

So, now it appears to be that we just awaiting an announcement from OP regarding the switch to CRB v2 for SFS?

The change happened almost two months ago, and Leadership has been silent.

So far, every game I've played at has been handled differently. Possible options include:

• Completely Retrain the Feat to another Feat
• Choose one of the three Kinetic options
• Choose any option the Feat offers

I would have favored a complete Retrain, but my GM thought the best middle ground option was #3

I think #3 is the best option. You can still retrain it with fame, but just picking the option you want makes sense to me.

The big question is which of the three kinetic options if you go for kinetic. I'd be tempted to go with piercing because most of the ranged weapons are that. but I'd be curious what other people's choices would be.

Hmm

I'm going back and forth between Piercing and Slahsing (have it on two of my characters who I haven't played with since the errata).

Piercing definitely helps with ranged hits and a good chunk of traps (shrapnel), but I feel Slashing tends to be common for aliens' natural attacks. That's just a vibe though and I haven't really done a comparison - it may just be the jinsul left a strong impression

You can still retrain it with fame

O.O

How do you do that? A lot of my early characters would love to retrain their feats.

Welcome Hmm! And thanks for helping out with the table!

I'm sure they will try to pull as many shenanigans as possible!! I expect nothing less from this group! ;-)

Everyone, as mentioned in the gameplay thread, everyone now gets the Agent's Respite condition. Essentially it means everyone gets a free reroll. Here's the actual text. Feel free to make use of it anytime for the remainder of this scenario!

Agents’ Respite: When the House GM announces that the Agents’ Respite condition is in effect, Starfinder teams that already completed their missions provide support to those still on the ground. Once during the adventure, each PC can reroll a failed attack roll, save, or skill check.

I was planning on scanning; what else would the team find it helpful for me to do?

You can still scan! Or boost speed?

I've gone ahead and botted Twich to scan. At least with both of you scanning, that gives you a full readout of the drone's entire stats.

So looks like these drones are totally exposed on the sides. Good to know

Hello all, I have some scheduled time off starting tomorrow (kicking into gear tonight with prep) to help my wife out as we are expecting our next child. If things go as roughly planned, I'll be back after this weekend to continue gaming.

Go ahead and bot my PC. They should have updated instructions in their profile. I may get small moments in the next few days to post, so don't be surprised if quick comments or actions pop in randomly.

Gotcha. Congrats on the new addition to the family!!

Depending on how quickly everyone posts over the next 5-6 hours, Round 8 might have been my last gameplay post before GM Hmm takes over. But we'll!

GM Hmm: I'll throw up another post here later on to mark when I'll officially hand the controls over to you. Thank you!!!

Okay, I'll look for your post to take over.

Okay, I'll look for your post to take over.

The day got away from me a bit. Can you please go ahead and take over now? Thank you very much!!!!

Hef: Congratulations!!!

It's decision time, darlings. What do you do with Datch? Arrest her? Kill her? Something else?

Krara's personality combined with her adventuring experiences means she is strongly ready to put Datch down the make sure the threat is actually ended.

Ofc this is a cooperative game, so as a player I am obviously just one vote.

This is a big decision, and I still don't have a definitive majority. Can the last two players chime in, please?

Sorry, been a busy start to the week. Will try to post to gameplay later.

In the meantime, Chk'tarlsh wants her to be held accountable for what she did - and hopefully some vindication for the Society.

My vote is to arrest her.

My vote is to kill her.

Krara and Aldane, here is [b]what Trusty did. Now that you are past the decision, I thought I would share.

Hmm

So... On enhanced resistance. You can have the feat, just pick WHICH resistance you want, and let me know your choice.

Hi everyone! I am back! GM Hmmm thank you SO VERY MUCH for filling in while I was out!

Thank you, Lady in Red!

You are all very welcome. Ta, ta!

Hmm

Thanks for keeping our game running, GM Hmm!

It is greatly appreciated.
