I would like to try to play them with the same characters as they advance normally.
If that means we do 1-31, 1-34, 1-17, 1-99, 1-29, 1-39 then it does.
Same for me. No interest in playing anyone other than Jaeric. I'd like to see the story thru with him.
work is a horror show the rest of the week. I'll do my best.
For our required 3 of 4 rolls, I'm not much help except as an attempted assist.
Bluff +0
Diplomacy +0
Intimidate +0
Life Sciences +7 - So, I have a chance here as the primary, but basically a coin flip.
Wouldn't that have been fun?!
Nice work guys.
Neil, sorry the charm didn't work. I gave Dr. M a -4 on the save cause she was really well-disposed toward Jaeric, but she was made of sterner stuff than that. I subscribe to the philosophy that victim who save know that something was tried, even if they don't know what. So there had to be repercussions. I think it was a good gamble though. If the charm had worked it would have been a lock.
We've just got the report to Luwazi and a debreifing to finish and we're done.
You guys can start upgrading to level 6 for the next adventure. You have 16000 credits total wealth to work with.
Very cool!
A few questions:
- Can a weapon be upgraded to its next higher level by paying the difference in price, or do you have to buy a new one for full price? Example: Artillery Laser (Corona) to Artillery Laser (Aphelion).
- I think in order to keep the Thermal Capacitor he found during the adventure, he needs to buy it for full price, right?
- What is our item level limit for this—level 8? Or can he push to level 9?
Thought I'd replied to the questions already. I'll blame user incompetence.
Zephyr:
SFS limits gear to level+2. So 8. If I remember correctly.
You would have to buy the thermal capacitor.
See the answer to Never below.
Never:
After buying gear for level 6, each character's total wealth (gear + cash) will be 16000.
And don't forget to tell me what you report to luwazi.

No hurry I've got to get the next module ready. Remember that 16000 limit essentially means you can sell existing equipment for 100% of cost.
Also, this scenario does something wonky. It says Elsebo gives you each some gear that would normally be out of level range and budget as a reward. Then it just lists it like anything else you've encountered in the chronicle -- so you'd have to buy it at full price by SFS rules.
I'm going to give each of you the opportunity to buy either the Tier 3-4 or Tier 5-6 prize for 3/4 price. That's a MK1 electrostatic field armor upgrade or a Black Force Field armor upgrade.
I'm also going to give you a 10% discount on items you've run into during your adventures. I'll make the list tonight.
It's going to be a couple weeks before I'm ready to go with the next scenario.

Haven't forgotten you guys. I am super busy screwing up a project at work. It's killing me, and annoying all my co-worker's and my wife. Such a mess. At least two more weeks before we can start the next installment.
Don't feel bad. I JUST finished updating Lorne to Level 6, as per instructions.
I am heavily back-logged at work, too. It is starting to impact others, so I need to catch up.

Theme Benefit: Self hacker: Your constant experimentation has blurred the lines between your body and your augmentations.

Don't know if anything would be on the discount list. Medpatch, probably.
Learned Aklo and Shirren. Added Athletics and Stealth as trained skills.
Still nowhere near enough money to outfit the way I want. <shrug> Armor and weapon are better now. Still low for the character level, but better. Bought 2 things above level, so that had to have an impact.

No hurries. Life continues to suck for me. I am seriously thinking about calling it for the year and starting up in January. How would you guys feel about that?
Meh. Unsurprised and more concerned about continuing than about continuing NOW.
I'm fine with a holiday break. Would like to see the overall storyline to completion, but doesn't have to be addressed on a set schedule as long as we eventually get there.
Almost there! Happy holidays, everyone!
Happy New Year! So much going on at the end of last year, I'm glad we had the break. The company where I work was bought out. Had to do a bunch of paperwork, pick new insurance, etc. And then had the inevitable rush job before Christmas, rescuing someone else who had messed up a job. And then was surprisingly busy with family things after Christmas.
But I'm feeling good. I hope you all are too, with good prospects ahead and some enthusiasm for rebooting the campaign. This game has been really great from my perspective; I've enjoyed it immensely thanks to your excellent role-play and creativity. And thank you for your patience with my pacing of posting.
Please check this link to the next scenario and update your stats on Slide 2.
The perennial question -- do we want to bring another player on ? We keep losing them. If we do bring someone on, do you have anyone in mind?
5 names in the stats on slide 2, but 4 icons on slide 1?
Sparky is lost to us. I removed his icon, but left his text there in case we have someone new join.
So, press on with 4? Bring someone known to one of you in? Have me publicly recruit?
I am fine with 4 for now.
I think Lorne and Sparky had a bit of overlap in skillsets anyway, so it's probably fine to continue without adding someone...although, a technomancer might be a useful addition down the line. We don't really have arcane spells covered very much among the current group. I've been filling in however I can by focusing Jaeric much more on being a mystic now than an envoy. Just a thought...
Starfinder seems a lot less reliant on filling the 4 niches of Pathfinder. Stamina points and the 10 minute rest help a bunch. Most technomancers I've seen seem to focus on attack spells, and less on buffing and utility.
I think you guys have been doing great. Onward with 4 it is. I'll post tonight when I get home and can look at my notes.
Guys, I'll be XC skiing with the wife this weekend. Probably no internet. I hope you all enjoy the weekend too. See you Monday.
I gotta say, he failed to hand over hand his way across the cable, but you expect him to climb it? The dice can make miracles happen, but the odds are . . ..
You've got other things to worry about before climbing. :-)
This is TERRFIC!
Multipost happened the first time. I deleted the second.post, and then lost the first one. That's why I left the second one now.
And I don't think any rolls I make right now are going to matter, much.
I don’t see the map yet in the linked google slides. I think Zephyr might try to drop in behind it, but I would need to see the map to be sure.

The link in the campaign header still points to the slides from the previous module. In gameplay, the link under the GM's name is the current one.
Just saw the summary and realized the radiation damage was pure HP. Adjusting my status line to show that, giving me a few points of stamina back. Not sure if it isa good trade, though.
Fixed the embarassing link in the campaign header.
HP v SP will be a wash, if you take enough damage in this fight to break into HP. Where it could matter is if you take more radiation damage. Fortunately you've got plenty of healing serums, right?
This is an announcement.
I'm teaching this week and next. Posting may be slow.
This has been an announcement.
Wow! Big boy gets double-critted this round!
I hate you guys.:-(
Might be a good idea. Though to be honest Zephyr and Never are the perfect pair to lead the way to the surface in the near term..
It's kinda similar to the one with which Jadnura trapped himself and the Starfinder fleet.
And it's shiny. IF it's not it, then maybe it will have some resale value.
;-)
Sorry. Guys. Been sick. That used to mean time to post, but last few years it means not enough energy to do much at all.
Will try to get a post up tomorrow. Plan to be gone over the weekend.
