Good to be aboard!

One other question: how many of you have played through this before?

I've played it once with another character.

Neither Kaath nor Laanok have played this one.

I’ve played it before.

The response to Kaath's question isn't in the scenario, so I'm going to wing it. No guarantee of consistency with other GMs, but it doesn't really touch the overall plot.

Welcome to Starfinder Society (Spellgem Cache, 3/3 Remaining)

So I ran into a little snag, I forgot to save the chronicle PDF for Blackmoon Survey and the GM has dumped their old chron sheets. DERP! I think that just means Popper is back to 0 XP. They have my info as far as like, my reputation and whatnot, but I don't think there's anything I can do about the lost XP.

I've played this one a couple times, with both my vanguard (soldier at the time) and my operative. :)

Hey Kaath! Just saw you in The Last Bite. (It's Roddy.)

Did the other GM report the game?

Popper, I ask because if the game was reported you should be able to get another GM with access to the chronicle sheet to fill out a new one for you.

Hey Kaath! Just saw you in The Last Bite. (It's Roddy.)

Hey Popper/Roddy! Just switching back to this commencement. Also Laanok is my son and he just played his first scenario with one of my other characters and Vaal. :)

Rowdy Roddy/Popper?

/facepalm XD

I did message the original GM to see if he still has the chronicle sheet archived somewhere, but haven't heard back yet. Who else would I ask about it? I don't know what other GM's would have access to people's chronicles.

@Kaath: Ooh nice! My son is slowly getting into Pathfinder (he was playing 5e exclusively but I've steadily been getting him more and more excited about 2nd edition PF).

If you click on Organized Play in the My Account menu up at the top of the page, you'll get to a list of all your OP characters. Find Popper on the list and click on Show Sessions under Popper's OP number. That will show you all of the games that have been reported for the character. If you see the scenario you've played in the list, that indicates that the GM reported that session. If it's there and you don't hear back from the GM, drop Tyrannius a PM and see if they can get you a new chronicle.

Huh. Weird. So it's listed under my games, but when I tried to click on Popper's name in the left-hand column to narrow it down to just Popper's sessions, nothing shows up. But if I don't try to single it out, it's right there near the bottom of the list.

Anyway, if I don't hear back from the GM by the end of the week or so, I'll drop Tyrannius a line. There's no real rush on it ATM, since Popper's not close to leveling or anything like that.

My apologies, I've forgotten to dot in. I'll be up to speed shortly.

Crud, I put the slides link in the long description, not the header. I'll fix it when I can; working from a phone imposes some limitations.

ETA: all fixed, I hope.

Looks good! :)

I heard back from the GM and they happened to keep a copy on their computer after deleting it from their Google Docs, so I now have my chronicle sheet again! Hooray!

Excellent!

I've been tied up with work today, and will move things along when I can.

We don't have anyone with charisma skills on the team?

Istilnar certainly doesn't.

Not the right ones!

Popper has a +2 racial bonus to Diplomacy checks, which brings his total Diplomacy bonus to... +1. :P

It's probably on the catwalks, someone will have to run around the room until they step on it.

is the catwalk a screen mesh or solid?

Until Kaath moved up just now, none of you have come within thirty feet (or sixty feet, for those of you with darkvision) of the SW corner of the building.

Another couple of long days at work, with only phone access to the boards. I'll get a post up now and move things along.

Finally unlocked official paizo account. Still working on organized play profile but this will be the profile for Laanok from this point forward.

Very good!

Laanok SFS #2394523-701

Finally! :)

I'm likely to be scarce on the boards tomorrow--taking the day off and spending it with my wife for our anniversary. Not that we can do much, unfortunately.

Congratulations! (and I hear you on the limited options). Hopefully the weather is nice where you are at least and can go outside.

Greater Chicago area. It's supposed to get up to 40°F, but at least no precipitation.

Ah, jacket weather! :P

Congratulations, enjoy your day!

No worries, take your time!

I'll need email addresses from everyone since I've run this under OSP. If you don't want to post it openly, PM me with it.

Thanks for running the game. I enjoyed myself. scottybobotti@yahoo.com

Agreed! My address is teddyberman@gmail.com.

the.ragi@gmail.com

This has been a fun one, lots of participating from everyone.

Kaath, one last question for the chronicle sheets: it wasn't clear from the initial briefing whether you accepted a Society implant. Did you want to?

Oh sorry. Sure - accept the implant. He was just being skeptical as a skeptic. :)

Also, for Laanok...try 2394523-702 number first, since the -701 was corrupted or something.

Thanks! I also screwed up my -701 character, and it was over a year before it was resolved.

Hopefully they can resolve it soon. Partly because it was a minors account, it took 3 months to get approved.

I am checking with his prior GM to see if the session recorded correctly. Will let you know unless you get there first. :)

Chronicle sheets!

Benacu

Istilnar

Kaath

Laanok

Popper

Vaal Noor

Lots of "aa"s in those names.

Let me know when you download your chronicle, and if you see any issues with it. This was my first time GMing Starfinder, so I may have missed something.
