Hello, everyone. Come on into the discussion thread and introduce yourselves and your character.
I am a grognard. Been playing since the late 70's on and off. Living and working in the eastern US time zone, near Boston.
We've got three, but I'm hoping for more. We'll give them a chance to trickle in while I prep for the game.
I'm looking to start some time next week.
PLenty of time Aerondor. I'm only starting to read the scenario tonight.

Staar! Whatever happens, don't panic! I won't be around to save you.
Indeed! This character's shortcomings were mostly solved by a massive reroll, but now she's even more of a necrograft addict.
Just finished 3-00, quite underwhelming in comparison - it never felt like a TPK was right around the corner at all.
Dotting for absolute interest. As this will be my first StarFinder scenario, I'd prefer to create something along the lines of a Mercenary-Soldier or an Ace Pilot Operative.
I'll have something up later today :)
I'm keen to join you all, if you'll have me!
Character TBD. Need a moment to sort out some things, but wanted to register my interest first.
Welcome, FluffSeeker. I will just point out that there's no starship combat in this scenario, but make what you want. My first Starfinder PC was an ace pilot operative. I love the ace pilot theme, and operative is a great class.
Someday she'll make level 3.
SuperS!!! Of course you're welcome. Always happy to game with you. Maybe this PC can avoid Rar'gul's luck.
I circled back to the boards. Ietsuna hasn't posted there again, and cmlobue has expressed interest.

Who's playing what -- and at what level? I hope we all fit in one tier.

What was the party? Two biohackers, two technomancers built to buff, solarian and mystic?
Full disclosure: Implications in previous posts aside, Ears did not at any time in that scenario save Staar. She handled the majority of combat, took many more than one for the team, and generally kept us all safe. And it did seem like we were all going to die more than once.

I loved 3-00 until the moment I
I'll be playing Kneepuncher, a 2nd-level halfling vanguard that has a love-hate relationship with his prosthetic arm (attempting final task on Possessed Augmentation boon), so save me a CR 4 to punch in the knees. Needless to say, melee focused. Cleans up real nice.
Kneepuncher, I see you're relatively new to the Paizo boards. Welcome. This has been a very good place for a fairly long time. I hope you enjoy it here.
Two things to know, of many. There's a one hour limit on editing posts. "Dot in" is a colloquialism here that generally means:
- Make a post in the gameplay thread
- Confirm the boards accepted the post
- Delete the post
Even though you've deleted the post, the boards will remember you made one and will keep the campaign on your campaign page.
And another thing, keep it smurfy.
Oh, you're fast! This'll be fun.

Female Korasha Lashunta (with both alternate racial traits) Death-touched Solar weapon Solarian level 2.
I wouldn't mind playing this in 3-4, considering Oda and Shokil's levels.

This time we had 3 operatives (mine included), 1 envoy, 1 technomancer and 1 mystic - pretty much a group to destroy any skill challenges. But even without a tank or any decent melee damage, combat was hardly a challenge.
Well, she's much more optimized now (except for all the credits wasted on useless augments) - I believe luck was on my side during that special.
I have a level 4 mystic healer or a 1st level operative that Incan dust off, so will be able to accommodate either tier, if that helps.

Thanks, Thom! Glad to be here. Let's sure hope so!
I'm interested in seeing how Kneepuncher goes - it will be nice to see what an effective vanguard looks like.
This is the link to the google Slides file that we'll be using for maps, etc.
Please try to connect and fill out a line on slide 2. Let me know if you can't get in. I think I have the permissions write, but then I always think that I have the permissions right.
cmlogue, thanks for getting that header on Kneepuncher.
Are you related to another famous Logue who used to hang out on these boards, and still may I haven't looked him up in quite a while?
Ietsuna, cool. That's all I got.
This may be overly optimistic, especially since his prosthetic is still giving him a penalty, but I will do my best.
And I'm sure you'll do fine. :)
My poor unfortunate vanguard that Thom was referring to would make anyone else look like a combat master! About the only useful thing he's done is take the majority of the damage to keep everyone else relatively healthy.
Sorry, guys. Got a bunch of work dropped in my lap. I was just looking at the party PC's levels. They are 1,2,2,3,4,4 ; totals 16. Average 2.6. We're evenly distributed between upper and lower tier PCs.
The Ragi's said he doesn't mind playing up, but this might be pushing it, especially for Bele. I think there's a big increase in challenge level between the two tiers. Bele could very easily die, or end up feeling useless.
Fluffseeker, how do you feel about that specifically?
We could split the tables. I'd go back to recruiting and see if we can get a few more.
Let me know how you all feel.
If Bele wishes to play higher tier, I'll be happy to shade Saeron in her direction to keep helping healing close at hand.
If we go low tier, I'd prefer to swap for my 1st level operative to keep our power more inline.
OK then. TR's right about tier 3-4 PCs trouncing tier 1-2 combats. I love a party that wants a challenge.
Shokil's got the right idea. Gear up, cause the party is a little weak level-wise. Healing serums are a great option.
On my side, I couldn't get anything done over the weekend. Work, and a stupidly short schedule to do prep for my new driveway, left me no time or energy for prepping this game. (I wish contractor's could plan better. I would have been OK with a firm week's notice instead of "oh 2-6 weeks" which changed to "I'll be there in 4 days"
No problem. Ready to go when you are.
How's the driveway coming along?
...with his pet solarian.
Easy questions first: the driveway is in. I had to take a half-day 'off' work to clean up some grading before they paved. My work project deadline is demanding big hours so I had to make those hours up.
The driveway runs right along the property line, and the paver did not bend the end of the driveway away from that line as we'd agreed. So the driveway might be encroaching on my neighbor's property, and I might be dumping my driveway runoff into his yard and foundation. I'm going to need to do some creative landscaping to create a berm to prevent runoff and throw some top soil over part of the asphalt to clean those issues up.
Harder questions: this game. I've pushed material up to my DM's copy of the shared game presentation, so I think I'm ready to roll. I will do my best to give you at least a post a day for the next two weeks except for next weekend when we visit friends in Maine. After two weeks posting will accelerate.
The first game post will be up shortly . In the near future can you all please provide me with the usual information -- player and character name, and organized play number. We can slot boons after your mission briefing. Also, if you want the chronicle more completely filled out, please provide your starting cash, fame, and reputation, along with how much you are spending on gear.
Oh, a note: This adventure takes place after the Starfinder rescue raid in the Scoured Stars. The unavoidable spoiler is that there are a lot of traumatized Starfinders trying to rebuild their lives. Actual knowledge of the Scoured Stars raid is not necessary to play this scenario. It does stand on its own, aside from the rationale for The Respite.
Cool, will that bump your initiative modifier by +1 ? Please remember to update your PCs statline

I understand pressed at work, SuperS.
So, what do you guys think so far. Piece of cake right?
Thanks Thom.
Seems pretty straight forward. He's probably just hit the town for a big night out and in the morning couldn't remember where he left his comms unit.
We'll probably find out he's crashing at his buddy's place and go pick him up and bring him home. That's how these things usually turn out, right?
