[SFS 3-04] The Vast Experiment: Falling Into Deliverance (Inactive)

Game Master AFlashInTime

Welcome to the campaign!

Sign up here.

Please don't post until you have signed up in one of the first six spots in the sign up link above.

Signed up there! Any more info needed here?

Thanks for signing up! Nothing needed here yet. I'll do an intro post with required info once we're at six sign ups.

Signed up and ready for duty if chosen. Meanwhile, everyone can grabs some drinks at my bar.

Signed up as well .... and I'll have a cider thanks. Ghost operative and circus performing halfling here.

Hi again!

The gameplay thread is now open for people to dot in and/or make in-character introductions. You'll be starting out from the Lorespire Complex on Absalom Station, so feel free to describe a typical day of getting ready that your character would undertake.

We have four people signed up and will be playing the low (5-6) subtier. Sign ups will remain open until we get things started in several days, but since we have a legal table we might as well get the ball rolling.

Information that I will need from you eventually includes:

Name:(can pull from sign up sheet)
Character Name: (can pull from sign up sheet)
SFS ID and character number: (can pull from sign up sheet)
Faction: (can pull from sign up sheet)
Day job Roll:
Boons (Happy for this to occur after the briefing; this is a Wayfinder and Datafiles-tagged scenario)

I will post a link to chronicles here in the discusssion when we're done. If you would like your sheet emailed to you as well, feel free to post your email or drop me a PM.

Looking forward to getting things started with you all soon!

There's a chance Sefel will be higher level by the time we start. A GM for an ongoing AP that I'm in is backfilling chronicles (we just reached book 6, its own achievement in PbP!), and depending on whether they apply Sefel could be 7 or 8 at start.

No day job.

Boons:
-Ally:
-Faction:
-Personal:
-Promotional:
-Social: Scoured Stars Memorial
-Starship:
-Slotless: Qabarat University Admittance

Congrats on book 6! Just let me know what Sefel's level is when we're ready to start.

We're up to five people on the sign in sheet now (welcome!), and with the levels being what they are it might make a difference in subtier if Sefel is 6, 7, or 8.

Hello all. Will check to make sure this profile is up to date tomorrow and sign in. :)

Just signed up in the 6th slot on the sign-in sheet. Deckard is actually 8th level. I'll get her profile updated this weekend.

Name: CigarPete
Character: R Deckard
SFS: 52875-701
Faction: Dataphiles
Day Job: Prof(Cybersecurity): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22
Boons: TBD

Nevermind about the level change. I just took a look at those impending chronicles and they're too high to apply immediately. Sefel will play at his current level.

Welcome everybody!

I'll try to have slides up by this evening - in roughly 12 hours or so.

From the look of the sign in sheet, we have three level six, two level seven, and one level eight, for an average party level of 6 2/3rds. This rounds to 7, for subtier 7-8 aka we're playing up. We'll lock in characters as your character attends the briefing, which I'll either post tonight with the slides or tomorrow.

For posting expectations, please do your best to post at least 1/day and, if possible, give some warning if you're going to be unable to post for longer than 36-48 hours so you can be botted.

I'm in the central US and generally post 1/day in the evenings, but I'll try to fit in other posts if the situation calls for it (we're moving along at a quicker pace, are in combat, etc.). During most week days during what used to be known as "normal work hours" I have limited access to paizo.com, and having a toddler at home means it's harder than it used to be to just jump on a do a quick post before bedtime.

When I post slides, there will be a few normal character info parts to fill out. I think mostly initiative and perception. Also please have normal character info in your character's "sub-header" when you post. Some suggestions include SP/HP, EAC/KAC, RP, Saves, limited special abilities, vision (low light, darkvision, blindsense/blindsight, etc.). I'm sure you all have the idea.

Looking forward to kicking things off with everyone!

Requested access.

Updated the access to the slides. Should be open for everybody to edit now. Please let me know if there are still access issues.

I'm in, thanks! Joining gameplay shortly too.

I'll wait for everybody to check in and be caught up before moving past the intro. In the mean time, please finalize slotted boons if you have not done so already!

No Starship combat in this scenario.

Everybody has posted in gameplay except Azara, aka EbonFist. I don't see that person has posted in Discussion, either.

I've sent EbonFist a PM. I'll give it until tomorrow (Tuesday) evening and then we'll get the adventure started (for real)) with five or six players.

Thanks for your patience.

Sorry for the holdup. I'm ready to go, now!

Next post from me will be tomorrow. I got caught up in current events this evening.

Hopefully it's nothing that's likely to appear on our evening news in New Zealand.

Ooohhhhh Rani I think it's pretty safe that this will show up on news around the world. :-(

Ooohhhhh Rani I think it's pretty safe that this will show up on news around the world. :-(

And potentially history books.

Completely infuriating.

Heh. Yeah, I doubt anyone in the world missed that...

For Yith's Star Shamen ability, I assume you're referring to the first level "Walk The Void" ability? If so, it wouldn't actually give Yith the ability to fly in this instance, since it only gives a fly speed while in space and right now you're in Wehemothal's atmosphere. Let me know if it's a different ability.

Yith is welcome to use a jetpack and store her armor's other upgrades. She can then switch them out once she lands.

That's what Rani is going to do after she crashes - judging by my die rolls. Presumably she's now going to earn the nickname "Rainbow Crash"

And GM ... I hope you weren't actually in that lot .... just watching it unfold.

Just watching everything unfold, like everybody else.

Ah Yes. I didn't think about being IN the atmosphere. My bad. Yith would have known better. :)

OK. Finally back in. Hope everyone else can get logged in. I had to change browsers and it still took a few tries. I have been using Firefox for all my Paizo games for years and after the recent downtime can't login even after fully clearing cache and resetting Firefox....

I'm back in, too. Should finally be back on track with a new post today.

Edit: had enough time - post is up!

Same here. I'm using an all new browser after finally giving up on Chrome.

Heh. I feel your pain. I fully reset Firefox, even thought I had purged all temp files and still can't login to Paizo at all in it..

I got Chrome working fine.

Heh. I did the same exact things again and just hit refresh instead of reloading the program and now it works. Weird...

I was able to get Firefox working today by clearing cookies. Sorry, I didn't even realize I wasn't seeing new posts until today - moved yesterday so my life is a bit chaotic right now.

Yeah, the issue was quite confusing if you simply watch your campaign page for the "new" tag, and it's easy to miss that you aren't really logged in.

@GM - you think we will be done in time for Outpost start Feb 16th? wondering if I will be able to play in a table there with this character.

@Deckard

Looking at the calendar, with that being less than three weeks away, I wouldn't advise you to plan on it. We're definitely making progress, but I think we still have at least half the adventure to go just based on rooms (that you can see so far) and it took us over three weeks from the start to get here.

thanks - just wanted to check. I have other characters to play.

Hey guys, I'm going out of town the next couple days.

If Azara needs to demonstrate the power of the stars to any baddies, I have botting instructions at the bottom of my profile.

Sorry for my silence, guys. My power has been out since Monday afternoon.

Stay warm and safe!

Oh man, no worries. Stay safe!
