Is seven still a legal table these days? If so I'll go ahead with you all.
If not, sorry Second-1, I'll drop you based on party composition (assuming Farol posts in this thread soon, if they don't then Second you are still in.).

Ah, womp :( Knew I should have posted instead of going to bed last night

I'll give Farol another 24h.

Heads up, while I'll kick off this week, I have several days camping lined up the week after, so just after we get started, we'll slow down.

I am here, don't leave without me!

Sorry Second. Remind me next time and I'll hold a seat for you.

@Gm - thanks for running this and having me at another of your splendid tables! May Kiwis never trample you!

@PaleDim - Hey mate, good to be playing with you again in PF2 and SFS !
Good to see Sefen again!

@Supersuperlative - heyah! Again mission for Vecro and Chk'tarlsh! It will be epic!

@Ragi - hey another frequent co-player. Good to see you. I was a bit worried about the lack of face character. Good to have DuQuesne on board!

Hey @nomadicla with Mahari - I was considering taking Aravon but it turned out my Solarian is better in Starship Combat!

And finally @Gm Skeemo - we seem to be playing a lot lately! Good to see you mate! You actually are the author of some of my favorite SFS scenario (On Trail of History)! And you play here izalguun :D

No problem. Good luck out there, Starfinders.

Starship roles

Sefel
-First choice: Science (Computers +17) or Engineering (Engineering +17)
-Second choice: Pilot (Piloting +12)

Chk'tarlsh
-Gunnery +11

DuQuesne
-Gunnery +10

Mahari Jones
Pilot +16 or captain

Daata
in order of preference: Computers +20, Engineering +19, Piloting +9, gunnery +8

Vecro
Captain (Diplomacy +10, Intimidation +8), Gunner +8, Chief Mate (Athletics +11)

So it looks like (in order of preference)
Captain: Vecro (dip +10; intimidate+8)
Science: Daata +20
Engineering: Sefel +17
Pilot: Mahari +16
Gunners: Chk'tarlsh (+11) and DuQuesne (+10)

Does that sound okay to everyone?

Sounds good to me! Good job with dividing that!

Thanks Vecro! I designed the izalguun as part of that scenario, so no way was I not going to play my own species!

Looks good. Looks like we have a pretty good basis for a crew there.

The list of roles looks great. Thanks for putting it together.

Also, apologies about the delayed intro post - our carrier had a national outage and we were without any mode of telecommunications for several hours and I missed my window of opportunity before RL responsibilities kicked in.

Hi there, Farol. Always a pleasure to share a table with you.

You, too, Ragi. I see you over there.

To the best of my recollection, I've yet to play with anyone else here. I am looking forward to it!

Hello, hello.

It's a small world (forum) after all.

---

Happy to wreak havoc with those flak throwers, or glitch enemies with the EMP after we finally chip away their shields.

So weird that this ship turned out to be the new official one.

All Light weapons on a Tier 6 ship? Booo! I can't even use my one starship boon (other than my Manticore), since it requires a Heavy Weapon to swap out with. Okay speed, good shields, but only a +1 to piloting. We'll see how this goes....

I imagine the scenario makes you use it specifically because it is the new one. Nothing like making folk try out a new toy to see if they like it.

The computer bonuses are quite nice. +3 to three checks is the best bonus for the most number of nodes available.

I'd switch those 27 BPs for decent weaponry in a heartbeat. xD

Well, if they equipped us with this flying trash can, I imagine it'll be more of a skill checks situation than a combat one.

Well, it is different :D

The thing that I never say was that Flak throwers have point special property. Which allows them to shot down tracking weapons. It could be an encounter designed to try those weapons.

We will see...

Ah-hah! Shokil! I couldn't place the books. I knew they meant something, but wasn't making the connection.

Ah-hah! Shokil! I couldn't place the books. I knew they meant something, but wasn't making the connection.

:D I like when players created a bit of Lore around them. And when I recognize it I try to put it in my posts. I was almost certain that it was Shokil so I looked for the title.

He is a cool PC.

Being a lazy GM. Can I get you to re-enter your information at
https://www.rpgchronicles.net/session/c4c7c8a3-ac1f-4573-9ee1-7c92d844c2db/ pregame

This is a chronicle-filler-in site, which makes some of the post game paper work easier. It is new, so there may still be some bugs, but it seemed to work okay for my last game.

I don't see where to fill in the info

Done - so many questions!

There was an empty space messing up the url:

www.rpgchronicles.net/session/c4c7c8a3-ac1f-4573-9ee1-7c92d844c2db/pregame

I am logged into the site, and it's not detecting this and insisting I make a new account :/ (there's no "already have an account") option

Took me some tries till the option to just fill the form showed up - not sure what was the trigger...

It is a new site, so bound to be some teething issues.

I should be back in about a week. See you all then. Feel free to post in the gameplay, I'm happy to give out circumstance or situational bonsues for good RP with the two ships.

Filled out the chronicle form. Fairly smooth process for me.

No worries. Safe travels (whether actual or metaphorical)!

Ok, filled in the details. So I am fully ready for GM's return ...

Back now. Sorry, flooding was really bad. Got cut off for a few days.

Welcome back. Hope you survived the wet okay.

The Buller river was at record levels. This video is from a decade ago and it was higher on Saturday than this.

Eight years ago was not as bad as this weekend.

I was driving (well, to be fair, being driven) along that bit of road yesterday. Luckily the water level had gone down a bit.

And when the river is not in flood.

Wow, that's some serious rise in water level!

Wow I am glad that you are ok!

Holy smokes, I’m glad you’re okay

Wow. Seems like there's a lot of non-typical flooding going around. Stay safe!

Traveling to Atlanta tomorrow for a gig, posting will probably be slow until Monday. Bot away if needed.

FYI, I'm going to be away from computers Aug 1-12. If this scenario isn't over by then, feel free to bot Sefel as needed.

I doubt we will be finished by Aug-1

For my clarification, was the "sister mission" checking on another beacon?
