Hey @DebugAMP. I am very much interested in playing both parts. I am still not certain which of my PC's I will put here so I will refrain from signing until I do ;)
I am glad to be part of this, I heard plenty about those scenarios and would gladly play them!

If all goes according to plan I will be level six for part one and level seven for part two.
So... we're looking at the following party:
Teka - Envoy 6
Hellih - Mechanic 5
Yith - Mystic/Soldier 8
DuQuesne - Envoy/Biohacker 8
Nimh - Technomancer 6
Twitch - Technomancer 6
That puts us at APL 6.5... dead smack in the middle. Also after pt 1, Teka and Hellih will be levelling. So for part 1, subtier will be your choice. Part 2 you'll be going high tier. Chat amongst yourselves and figure out which subtier you wish to play in for part 1.
One other thing... I know I already had you all give your SFS info... but I just started using rpgchronicles.net for chronicles and I'm liking it. So... would you all signing in here for part 1. I'll put up a new one for part 2 as we wrap up part 1. You do not need to fill out anything without a * on it, however filling out starting wealth and reputation will let me get you a chronicle with all of those sections prefilled.
So far for subtiers, I have 2 votes for high tier, 1 vote for either. 3 more votes (or one more oops I levelled up and didn't notice) to go =P.

Just for the record, my Vanguard finished his scenario. But he has less XP than Hellih, he has a decent amount of SP/HP and high AC. On top of that some abilities to lower the damage. Aravon Vanguard has a mount that gives him decent speed, but then he is limited to being in face of the enemies.

I vote for playing down.
That is in part influenced by that fact that this character has played down a number of adventures, and each of those turned into near lethal adventures.
I don't feel entirely inclined to invite an even more lethal challenge than what I've previously seen. I'll admit that does vary on the adventure, but (and I could be wrong) looking at the party this does not appear to be one that will be tearing through combats in the low tier. I'm not even convinced we would have an easy time with skill checks either. This might be overly cautious, but I rather be less risky with the part 1 of an adventure. If this was a stand alone adventure I would be more likely to say to play up.

Are you referring to Waking the Past? You can't compare those, that GM tried to kill us, this one is completely different... oh wait :P Kidding of course :D It was a fun scenario, and a great GM :)
-----------------
Ok so I have two options to play,
Hellih - mechanic with weapon prototype => he is capable to deal plenty of damage from distance. He has a set of standard Mechanic skills:
COMPUTERS +14 (5 ranks) ENGINEERING +14(5 ranks) MEDICINE +12(5 rank) PROFESION(gunsmith) +12(5 rank) PHYSICAL SCIENCE +12(5 ranks) PILOTING +12(5 ranks) STEALTH +10 - he has some other, non significant ones
He will lvl up to 6 between the parts
But he is fragile SP: 40 HP: 36
Aravon - Vanguard with heavy armor => he is capable to soak plenty of dmg. Skill-wise he brings very little:
INTIMIDATE +12 (5 ranks) LIFE SCIENCE +6 (3 rank) PERCEPTION +10(5 ranks) STEALTH +7(2 ranks) SURVIVAL +10(5 rank)
But he has SP:55 HP: 41. He has Heavy Armor so AC: 24/26, he has a mount Yasakaja which gives him 50ft speed and 30ft climb speed.
On top of that he has Dampen that can do wonders with grenades and other aoe attacks.
So I think I am leaning forward to playing Vanguard. He will be the lowest lvl PC, but his SP and HP is comparable to the one of DuQuesne, and way higher than our Ysoki clan ;) Yith-Naarin will be still the highest HP/SP PC. But that leaves the burden of doing the skill checks on others.
Looks like as far as subtiers, we are now 3 votes for low-tier, 2 for high tier, and 1 abstain. Gameday starts Monday so I'll get everything prepped for low tier. Given XP totals, at least 1 person will be levelling after part 1 making part 2 high tier. Farol: I suspect you'll be better off with your mechanic as being lvl 6 playing up in part 2 will at least make you a bit less fragile than a lvl 5 playing up. Either way, make sure you're all set up and good to go on Monday.

Both of the PC's are ready. I would consider buying armor upgrades but I can do it during the briefing. Thanks for the advice...

For what it's worth, I have played in a few scenarios where that was not the case.
Regarding GM Chronicles, I just want to make sure people are aware ahead of time of subtier changes, and also to keep track of GM credits to make sure nobody accidently levels out before part 2. Since we are definitely tipping the scale into high tier after part 1, I wouldn't be concerned about applying GM chronicles between scenarios as long as you aren't suddenly level 9. Just try to make sure that levelling decisions are made somewhat ahead of time since I do plan to go from part 1 straight into part 2 with very little downtime in hopes of finishing the whole run during GameDay.

Hi, everyone,
I'm having a rough time for several reasons right now. For the next few days, it's possible my posts might be really brief, without much character. If this happens, please don't take it amiss; I will return to normal posting as soon as I can.
I hope everything turns around or comes out better in the end for you!
Son is sick, wife is sick, trying to keep up on posting but likely will be a bit spotty. I fully expect to add myself to the list of 'is sick' at some point in the very near future. Not getting coughed on by a 3 year old is pretty much impossible.
Son has a cold. He's 3 so he's extra cranky about it. Wife got it too and has a chronic illness that doesn't help matters. They should be back to normal in time for me to get it.

@GM - yeah, take care of your family. Life before games ;) And don't be to harsh to your 3-year old, I am way older and still get cranky when ill ;)
Man flu is not a joke!

That's the way it goes. :)
"What's wrong honey, we're all feeling fine now!"Plus yeah, a 3 year old is going to cough right in your face no matter what. It's a law of nature.
