[Gameday IX] GM Wolffauer - SFS 1-19: To Conquer the Dragon (Inactive)

Game Master Wolffauer

Welcome Everyone!

Please try to maintain a posting rate of 1+ post/weekday. Weekends (and holidays) are almost always busy for me, 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
Character name: The name of your character
Character class/level: The classes and levels of your character
Organized play #-#: Your society play and character numbers
Faction: Characters Faction slotted
Day job: Your day job skill and roll (or alternative)

Link to character: Either your profile or some other online character sheet. Having this will make it easier to bot your character if needed.

After the briefing I'll ask you to post a list of boons you will be slotting.

Scenario Tags: Starship

I only saw me and one other person signed up. Is this game going to get cancelled or are you trying to continue with recruiting?

I'll be trying to recruit one or two more players, but recent changes in the rules mean we could run with two level 8 pre-gens.

Player name: Van Quoc Vinh
Character name: Phil, the Dataphile
Character class/level: Technomancer 7
Organized play 1977-701
Faction: Dataphile
Day job: Philosopher +18

Player name: Zsolt Szatloczki
Character name: JYD
Character class/level: Mechanic 7
Organized play #-#: 208315-701
Faction: Acquisitives Known Quality Tier 3
Day job: Starship Architect: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (20) + 21 = 41 X2 = 82 X3 = 246 Cr.

Known Quality (Social Boon)
Benefit: When you have this boon slotted and you attempt
a Day Job check at the end of a session, multiply your total
earnings by your Acquisitives Reputation Tier. For example,
if you are Tier 3 in the Acquisitives, you multiply the result
of your Day Job check by 3. Apply this additional multiplier
after doubling the result of your Profession skill check and
determining your total earnings.

Do we try to get others players or we should select 2 pregens?

No one yet. Go ahead and pick two. Should be able to move pretty quickly with just two players :)

Envoy and Soldier would my choice or Mystic to replace the Soldier.

I would vote for Soldier & Envoy. The Envoy can heal Stamina & JYD can heal some HP with Medicine check.

Soldier and Envoy it is. I'll have you each control one of them. Do you have preferences?

I choose Envoy if you don't mind.

No problem. I'll take the Soldier.

Should I expect another post tonight (GMT-4, East Coast timezone) or it will go to Monday?

Getting one now. If I have down time during DragonCon, I'll get a weekend one or two as well.

Let me know what boons you'd like to slot.

Phil slotted the following boons:
Faction boon Dataphile Champion
Social boon Faction's Friend
Starship boon Solar Powered Weapon System

Slotting Boons
Faction Boon - Acquisitives Champion Known Quality
Personal Boon - Nanite Corruption
Ally Boon - Dream Whispers
Social Boon - Budding Media Celebrity
Starship Boon - Star Monster Slayer

Were they any reference to suggested boon?
I may slot the one I miss.

No suggested boons.

Sorry for yesterday (work + Discord gameday table) and this morning (telephone job interview, Discord gameday table and building a Roll20 Monster table).

Time to figure out starship roles. Also, let me know if either of your characters have played S1–13: On the Trail of History

Obo looks to be best as a gunner (with chief mate and intimidating captain as other options).
Navasi can handle piloting, science officer or gunner.

Your ship:
Drake Tier 8
Medium transport
Speed 8; Maneuverability average (turn 2); Drift 1
AC 16 + pilot ranks; TL 15 + pilot ranks
HP 100; DT —; CT 20
Shields medium 160 (forward 40, port 40, starboard 40, aft 40)
Attack (Forward) persistent particle beam (L) (10d6), coilgun (L) (4d4)
Attack (Port) coilgun (L) (4d4)
Attack (Starboard) none
Attack (Aft) laser net (L) (2d6)
Attack (Turret) heavy antimatter missile launcher (L) (10d10), light particle beam (M) (3d6)
Power Core Pulse Orange (250 PCU); Drift Engine Signal basic; Systems basic medium-range sensors, crew quarters (good), mk 2 trinode computer, mk 6 armor, mk 6 defenses;
Expansion Bays cargo hold, escape pods
Modifiers +2 to any three checks per round, +2 Computers; Complement 4–7

Phil has played this one S1–13: On the Trail of History.

Phil can fill the role as Navasi won't take, since the stats are nearly similar, but Phil is a really bad captain.

JYD will handle the Engineering.

Have NOT played S1–13: On the Trail of History.

I just hope the die roller will be a bit kinder to us going forward.

I may post far later today.

JYD. I suppose if I do the Pilot (Helm Phase) and the two gunners, you don't mind.

We'll have to wait for them to do their Helm Phase & move before Gunnery phase. But if that comes around & you want to post for Gunnery & I do not then go ahead.

Working tonight then early on Friday morning so my posting may be erratic.

Okay. I may be more available as I wait for a result of a test that I hope come out negative.

I don't think having one or two other players would have helped, but 5-6 maybe if the Dice Roller goes well.

We're heading into the final encounter, which we may or may not finish in time of the end of Game Day, so I'm going to go ahead a roll for boons and report our game. We'll finish up without needing to rush the end and then do chronicles.

Using the same order as for Init:
JYD Boon: 1d20 ⇒ 17
Phil Boon: 1d20 ⇒ 9
GM Boon: 1d20 ⇒ 1

Bummer.

Thanks!

All done but the conclusion, and any RP you want.

Thank you both for playing! More than once I was worried about a TPK, but you pulled it out in the end.

Chronicle sheets are up on my Dropbox Let me know if there are any problems or if you have any questions.

@ GM Wolffauer, Thanks a lot for running this. I was worried too the way the die roller was rolling for a while. Not sure if I will play with only just 2 people again. :)

@ Phil, Great gaming with you.

Both of you have a good one. See ya around!

Thanks to running it!
