Just a heads up. As of tomorrow afternoon (about 30 hours from this post) I am going to be going on 'vacation' to a cabin near a nice forest. I can attempt to post, but it will be with my phone....moving my character will likely be out on the google docs.

It will be until Thursday...so not too long, but just wanted people to know.

All good - sounds ideal!

I will be back on Thrusday - said a man driving to the cabin in the woods ;)

Stay safe, and have fun. We will take care of Joe Bones, don't you worry ;)

I bought 500 UPB's.....during down time Joe would make 2 antitoxins, and 1 antibiotics, along with 4 more serum mk 1. That brings me to 8 serums total (from the other 4 I bought)....I hope that will keep a Buddy and Mujina up.

I also picked up that merciful fusion for my capture pole (luckily the pole was level 2...so is the fusion...). Since it is merciful, and plays music lightly when used.......Pie Jesu

Nice - relaxing capture pole playing yoga/relaxation music :)

Feeling ill; please bot me if needed for a few days if I don't post again.

There was another Skittermander LFG who asked to join my vacancy in Group B, sadly it was the second applicant.

I have directed here - to the All-Six Inquisition :)

Level 2: Mechanic(exocortex)-1 | Mystic(Star Shaman)-1

Fyi, pretty bad cell connection here, so bot me if needed. I will attempt to make it to a Starbucks or something around here that might have better connection.

@GM - I was eager to help some nufriends and I could not find anyone.

So:
- I filled out perception on your slides,
- Made avatars round and with purple border (why? because the inquisition wore purple! untrue? never mind, I like purple :P)
- and I copied the avatars to the map, putting Mujina beyond the blue force field, where I believe we are heading

As always skittermander help might be not needed and not wanted, but it was done from the goodness of furry heart. Next time put a giant uplifted Koala bear to protect your slides :P

This is the way

LOL thanks :)

Thanks - that was helpful. Now I have to figure out how to keep and save the token back to my storage area.

I'm back, but I'm going to be a bit absentminded for a while from all the stuff that needs to be done to organize Outpost.

Tomorrow is my last day in the country then I will be headed back to the United States (oh boy! wish me luck lol). I will be slow to post till I get settled in a few days.

Hey Shifty, I changed the armadillo/dreadnought border to green as it is no longer our enemy, it is our friend... Gree? Big dark eyes look at the GM from the furry face of Buddy :D

Millie is all fren now. A big sleepy full belly frendo.

We are rapidly arriving at the endgame - please ensure your reporting data is good to go.

When this concludes, we will pretty much roll into the next scenario #3-15: Frozen Ambitions: The Preluria Connection which has now dropped.

Bring your driving gloves.

Hey Buddy will be lvl 2 and I was thinking about investing into piloting :D That sounds awesome. Thanks Shifty!

Reporting data is good for me. Looking forward to our next adventure!

And Buddy, Szama will be glad to have you as a co-pilot!

My deepest apologies about my absence. Shortly after the move I was hospitalized and just got released 2 days ago.

Mujina - I hope you are all right! Furry hugs to you and your family!

My running joke was that you moved to the states to lead the attack on the capitol ;)

All good mate - sucks to go that far and end up in hospital - hope you are ok now.

@Shifty - I know that in Au some serious fires have shown (near Perth and west of Sydney), I hope you are all well Shifty!

Nothing too worrying for us yet - certainly nothing as wild as what hit us last year. It was crazy. On a side note I was GMing several games by PbP and didn't miss a single days updates - even when having to drive to some high ground to get signal :p

I am glad that you are safe, and it is impressive that in such times you can run PBP games, that is impressive.

Just for the record, when people are fighting fires I am not only interested if their post rate will not drop ;)

Meh it was a crazy deployment at super short notice, we got back and were all keen for a long break, the next day we were retasked to Covid. It was a long year.

Glad to hear everyone is doing OK.

I am sorry I've been such a slow poster. I'm now at the point of very slowly recovering from a very very stressful year and a half. I hope to soon be better about posting.

Squizzer is going to level up to 3 after this adventure. I may start the process even before we get the chronicle sheets so that I can finish up quickly and be ready for the next game.

All good - the game continues on and you can catch up/contribute as you can :)

Sorry for the delay. Long afternoon/evening with a tired and teething toddler.

All good! :P

Damn it ! From what I saw the game after the next one, our story arch gets into tier 3-6:
#3-21: Frozen Ambitions: Renewal's Blight Tier 3-6

Nooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Buddy will be 2 XP shy :( I might have to start GM'ing to pump him up.

Yep we have 3-6 for the final scenario. We may need to look at how we want to approach that, we may need to stick an additional scenario in between.

If you need to stick an extra 1 or 2 scenarios in, Joe is ready.

Yeah, I have been putting GM credits elsewhere so that means Mujina is only just dinging 2 now.

This is Ayoka's first session at Level 2, so after this and the next FA adventure, she'll be one short of level 3.

We will probably need that extra session sandwiched in then

New gameplay thread up for the next installments!
New Game thread

Chronicle sheets are all done and ready!
Chronicles

Thank you - Chronicle looks good - thank you.

Thank you for the chronicle!

Thank Shifty for the game. Chronicle looks good!

I really liked the scenario, the exploration of the base was amazing and giving the bits of information I really liked. In the beginning, I was under impression that all this swipe through the base happened days ago and there would be no signs beyond clues on what has happened to the science team. I agree with others that Jinsuls as a culprit of this story is a bit of a bummer. But all in all, I liked it, it was a good and enjoyable story.

Thanks for the game Skitter team!

I think I would have also been happy with a murder mystery ending and piecing it all together at the end - however I suspect the average Society player wants their '2.2 combats per square hour' or whatever the ratio is and having nil combat would be a no go :p

Chronicle looks good Shifty!

On to the next one!

Chronicle sheet looks good, thanks everyone.

I apologize again for the laggy posting. Hopefully now that the behind the scenes work on Outpost is done for a while, I can post more regularly.

I guess I'm not your average Society player then :)

Still there's something nagging at me with the scenario. The first scene had someone transmitting that they're bored etc before being cut off. That implies that the invasion just happened. But as the story progresses, we learn it happens several weeks ago. Sloppy editing?
