[SFS/Shifty] The Vast Experiment (A) (Inactive)

Game Master Nik B.

Okay, I think I'll add that chronicle to J'Shun then. I'm hoping we can keep the team together after this, but of course it's up to everybody and Shifty what they want to do. There are several level 3-6 scenarios that are out.

Well this is the last encounter of the quadrilogy, it has certainly been a ride :)

It's been fun. I learned a lot about Rastar during this series

Yes, it has been fun, and nice having you as a GM.

It's been a pleasure! This has really pushed Vyviane in new directions and J'Shun has been a great character to bounce off of.

I've definitely enjoyed it. Thanks everyone for putting up with J'Shun. I would love to keep the group together for more adventures, but if that isn't meant to be it's just like being in the navy. People get transferred to different units all the time or at least that's how I'd role play it! If we do stay together I haven't played 3-11: Into the Veskarium yet.

I haven't either, but, even better, the quest is a repeatable! Also it would allow us to decide once and for all who is the captain on the ship. ;P

I've really enjoyed playing with this group, as well. Except for the general lack of some basic skills needed to get by in the world, we're a good balance of characters.

And I also have not played 3-11.

Just wanted to let everyone know I'll be out for the next 3 days. I suspect Chorizal's Chosen will handle this without further assistance from him, but bot me as needed.

Bodo ain't bad or neutral, he just isn't trusting the guard to truly surrender, so he is hoping to knock him unconscious. He darts weaken him and someone does nonlethal as a finisher.

Had a look at #3-11 Into the Veskarium, haven't run of played that so happy to continue on into that.

Whoo-hoo!

Kays Kommandos invade the Veskarium!

Chronicles up tomorrow night.

For ease of pretty much everything, we may as well stay in this thread as we move into the next adventure.

Also, a TY to Tyranius for VC watching the game!

I'm 115 tables in now, with three more PbPs getting close to the end. That 5th Nova is getting closer.

Anytime and great job all! Great game and a fun read. :)

Wow, 5th nova, that's quite an accomplishment.

Well after getting 5 Stars from PF1, doing it all again and running for 5 Novas seemed like the logical next step :p

You sir, are both an inspiration and an abomination unto the Lord!

I like it :)

Thanks again for running this series for us. Mucho fun-o.

Thanks for running. I'm going to bow out for the next one. I'm waiting for the rest of my games to die down, so I can get caught up on planning and fleshing my characters out.

Chronicles HERE

Please note - we are now in the AcP era, Fame is now no longer issued.

Also, Day jobs are now apparently for players to roll and record.

Will kick off the next adventure in about 48 hours.

Thanks for the chronicle! I take it failing to save the tree means that we didn't earn reputation with our championed faction?

Also on another note, since we're going down to four people with Bodo moving off to make his own squad, do we want some fresh recruits for Bodo's Dang I guess she has to put her lot in for a different team name now... Rasrizal's Chosnecks?

Sorry to see you go, Bodo! It's been fun playing with you.

I think Chorizal gets the Out-of-Subtier Credits since he's 5th level.

I have no distinct opinion about recruiting more people. One the one hand, I feel like there are always people looking for games and we could certainly use some expansion of our skill set.

On the other hand, I like the composition of our group, having 4 makes life a bit easier for the GM and we've pretty much proven that we're an effective enough combat unit that we don't have to worry much about a TPK.

We'll miss you Bodo. Come back anytime.

J'Shun, will be level 5 for this next session so that might mean we play up. Do you think we might need another PC in the squad to make up for that?

It would be fun having 1 or 2 more party members added to the squad as new recruits and see how they react to the dynamics of our wackiness.

I'd say if we add another party member let's go with one so that keeps us moving quickly.

I take it failing to save the tree means that we didn't earn reputation with our championed faction?

You gained +1 Rep with your current faction (not +2), and +1 Rep with Ehu Hadif.

With regards to the tier, party wise you are 2x4 and 2x5, which means you get to choose up or down.

Ah then Vyviane's chronicle might have a mistake, she apparently got someone's exo gaurdian reputation instead.

Thanks again for running the game. I am happy to continue, but I am traveling Fri-Mon and will not be able to post at all during that time.

Bodo, sorry to see you go. I look forward to being at another table with you in the future.

I say we play up!

J'Shun Profession Soldier: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (10) + 16 = 26

Profession, Corporate recruiter: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (9) + 20 = 29

So that seems to be 2 for a short recruitment, 1 ambivalent, and 1 who hasn't commented either way. GM Shifty, if you don't mind, I can get a post in the Castamir's thread asking if there's any one in the level range (maybe with a preference for the high level range cause I'd prefer playing up myself), interested in joining a faster paced game up later today.

I think my Credits are incorrect.

I believe Chorizal is out of subtier since he's 5th level.

That's Private Bodo to you all, or did I get demoted.

@Vyviane, sounds good to me. I think it would be funny if we added added another soldier, but I'm fine with any class as long as the player is willing to RP with us.

@Bodo, you were promoted to corporal, but if you want to get demoted J'Shun can oblige you.

Vyv & Chorizal - adjusted.

Happy for you all to chase a new player, we can kick off when Rastar gets back so that gives us a couple of days.

Thanks, Shifty.

My vote is for a technomancer, mechanic or other skill focused class so that Vyv doesn't have to carry that load quite as much.

Good idea, that way Vyv doesn't have to worry about making all the rolls all the time.

I have been on the periphery of too much My Little Pony lately.

Each time I look at the Chronicle Sheet this jumps out at me -

SUNSET SHIMMERstone staff.

I prefer the Staff of Nuclear Vengeance. I'm playing in a different PBP game where one of the PC's has one. First time I've seen anyone with it.

Vyv & Chorizal - adjusted.

Sorry about not getting something up earlier, missed it Thursday night and was busier than expected Friday.

I’m game to join if you need a level 6 healer mystic! Are you starting 3-11 from the beginning and running straight through?

If you have room for a second new teammate, I'd be happy to hop aboard too!

Hey chaps off you need another one i have lvl 5 mechanic who would love to join.

Yeah i need to level him up if he joins the game

Oop, seems we got three people interested in this. Never specified it but it was supposed to be First-Come First-Served set up and we only have two slots. Hellih/Farol, I love playing with you and Hellih in particular, but we don't have the room sadly (and seven player tables are no longer legal either.) I hope we can play together again soon, though!

Izzip and Dr. Helix, Welcome! I hope you enjoy our group (and don't find our 'Space Admiral' J'Shun's bluster too aggravating. He has a good heart but oooh can he be bossy. ;P)

No worries. Have a great run, in our reality of the world Shifty might run Into the Veskarium as well ;)

So no hard feelings Sedoriku, but if someone locks one of your PC's in a school toilet you will know why ;)

I have two tables working through the end of the Frozen Ambitions series now, and unsure what their future plans are, suspect they might look to wind down (or part group continue).

As they wrap I will offer them into the Veskarium as well, so there will almost certainly be a table for you.

Unknown after that.

Awesome, excited to start! Do you want to start RPing in the Gameplay thread, or are we still waiting on some logistical details before starting?

We've just got a player (Rastar) away a couple of days, he should be back shortly (tonight?), but we can get started.

Hey folks, I am back now. Good to see we have a new player joining us. Welcome Izzip. Just remember if J'Shun's self-important arrogance starts getting to you that none of us take him seriously, so why should you?

I am getting caught up on my games throughout the day and will post in the game thread shortly.

Yay! Here's my info:

Name: GM Skeemo/Chris Wasko
Character Name: Dr. Helix
SFS ID and character number: 125136-706
Faction: Acquisitives
Day job Roll:
Boons: Suskillon Survivor (Personal)

2 Medics?

Now, I really don't need to bother being safe.

Hah, you say that as if safety has ever been a concern for this group.

And welcome to the party, Chris!
