Welcome Everyone!
We can begin mustering now, and will start playing on Monday 11/30.
Please try to maintain a posting rate of 1 or more posts per weekday. Weekends (and holidays) are almost always busy for me (less so recently...), 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
Pregen character: Which pregen will you be playing
Character name: The name of your character getting the chronicle
Organized play #-#: Your society play and character numbers
Faction: Character's slotted faction
Day Job Roll:
Link to character: Either your profile or some other online character sheet. Having this will make it easier to bot your character if needed.

To my fellow players:
Ven has the feats bodyguard, in harm's way, and shelter ally. This means that if you are within a 10ft of him, he can, with a reaction, give you a +3 to your AC against an attack and, if it would hit anyway, he can take the damage in your stead. I am more than happy to do this for your characters for I have built him to do so. If your character runs away from him, I will take that to mean that you do not wish Ven to intercept the damge. No hard feelings. If you are concerned about the party clumping and being vulnerable to aoe damage, Ven also has dampen (a vanguard talent). Dampen allows me to spend a reaction and an entropy point to halve the damage we would take (and possibly mitigate it completely).
He is also a large sized creature. I will take this moment now to apologize in the future for being in your line of fire, it is inevitable and I am sorry.
Ven also has a reach with all of his melee attacks of 15ft, so I can reach over you if you are a melee as well.
Lastly, I love this character, both the mechanics and his rp! As he is getting up there in level, that means the number of scenarios he can play grow fewer. As such, I'm in this for the fun and the rp. I look forward to your characters getting to know Ven.
To the GM:
Venizandrikal and Ziyass have a dragonkin's 'partner bond'. This does two things. First, we have telepathy to each other to a range of 100ft. Second, if we are within 30ft of each other when initiative is rolled, we both take the higher initiative result between our two rolls.
He also has blindsense (heat) 30ft. I got it because it felt very dragony.

Ziyass is a Pahtra Vanguard, bonded with Venizandrikal. She also has Bodyguard and can use a reaction to give an adjacent character +2 to their AC and then Intervene to take half of the damage from that attack if it still hits. :) She doesn't have the natural reach that Ven has, of course, so it is only for those directly next to her.
She also has the ability to make AoE damage worse if she is in the effect. :) She can add +2 per damage die. Ven and Ziyass usually use this with his breath effects since he has 2 of them, a 15' and a 30' cone.

Okay, level seven done and as for slotting...
Faction: Dataphiles, improved;
Ally: Heartfriend Forever! (even if it doesn't do anything this scenario)
Personal: Scoured Stars Survivor (reduce RP to stabilise)
Promotional: T-shirt (reroll)
Social Scoured Stars Memorial
Starship: In-the-Vehicle-Training (applies to vehicles, not starships) - increase EAC and KAC by one. Adds one point of hardness.
Looks like I missed an important question: Your APL is 8.5, do you want to play up or down?
I’m ok with up.
Up it is!
Sorry for the extra slow progress, work, holidays and life are keeping me busy.

...In addition, your custom rig can now be used as any engineering or hacking specialty kit of item level 6th or lower...
There are some arguments to be made about what this part means. However, my stance is that as engineering specialty tool kit is a specific item, I assume that is what was intended. All specialty tool kits provide a +2 circumstance bonus. Unfortunately, in all of the books there are only 2 specialty tool kits listed, armorcrafter and weaponsmithing. At any of my [GMed] tables, this ability essentially gives a +2 circumstance bonus to any engineering and hacking check as I read it that the custom rig counts as any conceivably applicable specialty toolkit. Some other GMs take the stance that you can only get the bonus to armorcrafting and weaponsmithing.
All of that said, if it applies to Computers, it only applies to hacking checks. So, for any Computers checks that aren't hacking, it would not apply.
I asked only because I haven't had to dig that deeply into them, and wanted to find out if there was something I didn't know about.
I haven't seen anything from Sedoriku / Threzlomn on any of his games since before christmas. Is anyone familiar enough with Precogs to be able to bot him until he gets back?

Oh, gods, I'm so sorry guys!
I mentally went on vacation for a few days, trying not to worry or stress about anything, but next thing I know I hadn't posted for near a week and that always stresses me/causes me to dread coming back, which means I procrastinate it and tend to lack the self-discipline to sit down and handle it. I haven't looked at the gameplay thread, and if needed can drop from the game. However, work is starting up tomorrow and it provides a good structure and down time to handle posting, and I need to try building structure to my days when I don't have work (as alllll my routines went by the wayside during this break, which is not good.)
Again, I'm sorry. Hope everyone had a better winter holidays.
Just hop in mate :)
Yeah - for better or worse you didn't miss much :)
Ahhh that old chestnut - it is deliberately vague and abstracted in Starfinder. This has come up in the Mounts conversation, as well as Drones (because some mounts are drones).
If you are large you can carry a medium.
Sorry, I got locked out before I could post yesterday.
For the couch - you are basically riding it not driving it, right? You tell it were to go, but it controls going there. So have the couch roll the reflex.
For Jump Jets - They won't get you high enough to enter the tekenki (30 ft)
It's the size and shape of a femur, but it is not a femur and really quite dense. (Plus like most adventures, they block the easiest method in favor of dealing with the challenges put forth)

While it is definitely up to the crew, I was proposing no 10 min rests unless needed. While I don't know how the scenario manages it mechanically, in-game it definitely doesn't seem appropriate.
Edit: I am also willing to spend my own resources to bring folks back should death happen. Though, with In Harm's Way, I suspect that Ven not being the first to go down is quite low.
I lean towards no 10 min rests as well. The scenario isn't strict about time, but you are under some time pressure as the battle between the colossi continues.
