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

Game Master AFlashInTime

The statewide outages are over but the lines at my house are down. I'm hoping to be back online tomorrow.

Sorry for the delays - some things came up with work that I spent most of the weekend on and am just now looking at this for the first time since Saturday. Will update with your trek to the lower level tomorrow, probably evening!

Has it been more than 70 minutes in game since that first encounter? If so, Yith will cast Reflecting Armor again before they head down...

I think it's been under an hour, Yith. There was a 10 minute rest and some elevator repair and computers work, but I can't recall anything that would've eaten up a huge chunk (30+ minutes) of time at once. First cast should still be good.

Hello, I just wanted to let everyone know I will be away from access to computers and unable to post this Saturday, 2/27 (all day). I will be back and able to catch up early in the afternoon (US/Pacific time) the next day. Bot me as needed.

Sorry, I got nothing to use against a swarm. I say we hand Azara a few healing serums and let them supernova it a few times.

Yup, that sounds good too. I didn't have a specific way to lure it anyway (to lock it up).

I didn't even realize swarms were a thing in SF as I've never seen one in any of the society scenarios I've played or run, nor any of the much smaller number of AP volumes I've done.

Guess I'll be buying a couple of grenades for contingencies...

They're a thing. I seem to recall nanite swarms in one scenario.

I had a table that actually had to retreat from an encounter because it was a swarm and literally no one had area effect weapons.

Blast weapons work on them too, though so if anyone's packing a scattergun, now's the time to pull it out.

Well. My plan now that I know what works is to for Yith to spend on RP to recharge the breath weapon, use it and then go back near the door and pick that giant blast weapon I didn't think would be useful after the first round. :)

Hey folks, sorry for dropping off the face of the earth. I had a family medical situation come up this week that's required a lot of time and energy, and I haven't been able to get around to getting a solid post together. Trying again "tomorrow" (aka later today, since it's now almost 1 am where I am) but thank you for your patience and understanding as I work through this.

Real Life Comes First (tm) We'll be here.

Yes. Family first. I hope your family member is doing well.

Take your time. If the last year or so should have taught the whole world anything, it's patience and empathy. Ok, so that's 2 things, but still...

We're not going anywhere. Please take whatever time you need to make sure your family is good.

Hey everyone, I'm back. I should be able to maintain mostly daily posting for the foreseeable future, so let's wrap this one up!

I'm spoilering a few sentences below that contain a quick summary of what was going on in real life for me. Feel free to read; the spoilers aren't to keep anything private (otherwise I wouldn't post it), but I totally understand if people want to keep their "real life with crappy medical situations" and "Starfinder" spheres separate.

I hope it works for you.

Sorry to hear. It's very understandable why you'd be distracted from this (and of course it doesn't matter as much). I hope the plan you came up with works out.

Doing the same, just in case people don't care or want to see. :)

My mom went through the same thing years ago. It's scary and her life isn't the same, but she's healthy now and going strong.

Here's hoping you can say the same thing about your dad in a few years.

You have my sympathies. Went though this with my MIL. Obviously real life comes first, but when it's time for you to have escapist fun, we'll be here!

Sorry to hear that. I hope he is able to make a full recovery. Please make sure you take whatever time you need to help. We're not going anywhere, and even if we were, they'll have internet...

Thanks, everyone.

Thanks, everyone.

/virtual hug.

This is an FYI that I'll be away from computers and unable to post starting this Friday (3/26) evening (US/Pacific time) and until Sunday (3/28). I will be able to catch up and resume posting that evening.

Sorry if this part gets a little confusing.

In the slides I've created a map showing everybody on the space platform. This perspective is from above - imagine there's a dying space station and a giant moster below.

If/as people start jet packs or other flying abilites, we'll move your position around on a 2D plane but with notations expressing your relative position to the space platform (i.e. +30 feet). I'll keep track of everybody's total distance traveled in Gameplay; essentially this phase of the scenario ends when everybody (or everybody still alive) reaches the Pegasus (1,500 feet above the initial launch point).

Having Fitch's Grandchildren in the ship reminds me of Mobile Suit: Gundam (and other animes) where small children often end up in combat zones.

I'm going to be out of town and with limited internet/computer access from tomorrow, Saturday, until Wednesday, April 7th. Please feel free to bot me in the meanwhile if needed.

Hello all. We are staying home and being boring for Easter weekend but my office room is being painted Saturday/Sunday. Might be slow on the posting. bot as needed. Have a nice weekend and Easter all!

FYI, I will be away from computers and unable to post from this coming Friday evening (US/Pacific time) until Sunday afternoon. Since it's a weekend and I will fully catch up on return, I would expect minimal to no disruption.

Great success everybody! I'll have the chronicles up in the next couple of days. I also appreciate your patience/lack of angry private messages as the pace of the game slowed to a crawl at the end. Thanks for sticking with it!

Let me know if there's anything else I need to know on the chronicles and I should have a link posted here soon.

Real life is crazy for all of us. I appreciate the great game!

Thank you. I got a little worried but that's usual for me. Now I'll be looking for the next one in the series.

Great game everyone. A nail biter! Thank you for running sir. No worries, real life happens.

Thanks for running GM! No worries on the pacing, we all understand that life gets in the way sometimes.

Thanks everyone for the fun game!

Great game, everyone. The story was good and great players and GM.

Are we still waiting for chronicles? Have signed up for the next ones in the series during Paizocon

At long last:

Chronicles

Let me know if anybody has trouble getting access or if there's anything amiss on the chronicles. Thanks for playing, everyone!

Thank you. IIt looks like I put Dataphiles on the signup sheet instead of Acquisitives but I bought the faction boon anyway.

And thanks for running. Now all set for Paizocon.

Thank you! Chronicle looks good.

Mine looks good! Thank you!

Looks good!
Oh... Might be time to consider that power armor feat... hmmm... :)

Thanks again for running and thanks to all for playing. Was a fun and interesting and challenging game!

Now.. to look when PaizoCon starts. Keep forgetting to do that..

Looks good. Thanks again!

Looks good. Thank you again!

Great playing with you all again! I'm leaving the game up for about ~24 hours for any final final comments, then I'll mark as completed.
