Level 8, got it! And I realized that Mu is now Level 11. No, scratch that. 12 because her last Dead Suns credit comes in.

We'd also like to invite our viewer, Ashbourne, who has been favoriting posts to delurk and introduce yourself. Ashbourne, I hope you enjoyed the read!

That information is correct, and Mid-Treeum is lvl 3. Thank you for a wonderful and very entertaining game (complete with play-by-play commentary from Mu). XD

I've had a lot of fun with it. You four were a blast to play with! As soon as I get Shifty confirming his level, I'll go ahead and report the game and make chronicles.

And yeah, I quite like Vesk 2, it is the surfari location for those who don't want to go to Castrovel :)

I loved all your exit posts,and it was a treat to get a bonus postcard from Ashbourne. Ashbourne, I hope that you find an SFS Play-by-Post soon. I am betting that with the first SFS bounty, we will start seeing short SFS PBPs soon. Welcome to the community.

Special Shout-Out

Can I just say that Lena's last post made me want to cry? That was beautiful, Yours is Mined. Simply beautiful.

Thank-you, Hmm :) That coming from you means a lot.

And thanks everyone for a great game! I thoroughly enjoyed it.

And of course, thank-you GM Hmm for organizing and running it. You are the best!

I'm so glad that you enjoyed your first SFS game, Yours is Mined! I hope you try out others!

Hmm

Oh I just looked at the sanctioning. If your pregen characters have professions, you can do day job rolls!

I marked that as Exo-Guardians. Hope I got it right.

Exo-G it is :)

Aramesh needs 'Profession, Real Estate Agent' :p

Thanks for running Hmm!

The only pregen with a profession is LNA.

Thanks for helping me out (again ;), Barat.

Day Job - Profession (smuggler): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27

I need LNA to have some credits for the next time they want to gamble. :)

Are there any PF/SF cons held in Vegas?

I was gonna suggest a side trip when I can visit Hmm and you again.

But then I remembered I don’t gamble IRL ;)

Mu checks the proceeds from her first Mu-vie. Niiiiiiice.

Time to send the Actors their paychecks.

Thanks again for playing, everyone!

In case you could not tell, the link above was to your chronicles.

Ashbourne, I noticed another low level recruitment in Castamir's for an Intro 1 scenario if you are ready or interested. The GM who posted it is more minimalist than I prefer, but competent.

If you haven't already, you should post in the Gameplay of Castamirs to get that recruitment hub in your campaigns so that you can see new recruitments when they happen.

I would also introduce yourself in discussion and tell everyone you are new and looking for a game -- once you feel up to it!

Once everyone gets their chronicles, I will mark this campaign inactive.

Thanks Hmm for the invite to watch this adventure it was a lot of fun to watch, a lot of great role-playing from everyone. It helped a lot to keep up with a play-by-post in real-time to see how it works. Probably going to wait until after the holidays are completely over before looking for a game to join in, works a bit crazy still.

I started playing D&D in the early 80s, the game roup I played with split up during D&D 3.5 before Pathfinder started. About 2 years ago I saw Pathfinder 2# was just coming out and decided to give it a try, took me a few months to get my work schedule to line up with the local Pathfinder society game. but sadly that was the first week of the covid lockdowns. One day was bored and downloaded the Starfinder CRB to check it out and fell in love with the setting and the player races. I had wanted to get back into TTRPGs to get away from the computer. I had been spending way too much online doing game design and programing in Second life. I'm glad Hmm pointed me here looks like play by post is a good compromise that fits my ever-changing work schedule and doesn't require hours at a time on line. I love to snorkel when I can even if it's just in a swimming pool, so I really would love to move to Vesk2!

Vesk 2 is what happens when I haven’t had my annual break island hopping across New Caledonia and Vanuatu. Of course living in Australia I am spoilt for fine beaches and amazing diving, but my annual sojourn to the South Pacific islands is dearly missed.

Paizocon oz 21 was supposed to be on a cruise ship to a tropical island (Moreton island, Tangalooma reef) but you know, covid.

Pbp is a good medium between face to face and handy when I’m away with work :)

I also learned a lot about the Veskarium and the planets after running the ‘Veskarium arc’ here on the boards for a few groups - almost completed and will have taken almost 18 months to get through.

I also played D&D in High School in the mid-80’s but gave it up when I went to Uni, thinking I was too cool for it.

Ha Ha! Thank goodness I grew up!

I live in a fairly isolated part of the country – TTRPG games are few and far between. But PbP is the perfect outlet for the ham acting and tactical combat game I love so much. And it’s pretty easy to fit PbP around work and family.

I have met some great people through this game and medium. Folks I have met in real life going to conventions and consider my friends – including BretI and Hmm ;)

EDIT: PS, I had a friend at Uni whose parents had a "shack" (it was a bit nicer than a shack) on the ocean-side of North Stradbroke Island, Shifty.

(For non-Aussies, that's very close to Moreton Island, mentioned above ;)

I would get invited to visit a couple of times per year during the holidays, and it is a beautiful part of the world.

The most amazing thing is, it is a short motor launch 'drive' across the bay from the urban sprawl of Brisbane and its 2 million population.

But on Straddie, the city might as well have been on Mars.

Nice spot! Those in Brisvegas really are a bit spoilt. :)

Chronicle downloaded and reviewed - everything looks good here.

Welcome aboard, Ashbourne! Glad you enjoyed the game!

Thanks to you all! I am now making this game inactive!

PbP is the perfect outlet for the ham acting

Ham acting 101

GM: Your laying on a plate surrounded by people with knives and forks what do you do?

Ham: I lay there hoping no one sees me.

Gm: you can't help but be spotted one of the creatures with a knife and fork cuts a piece of you off, what do you do?

Ham: I scream in pain and try to run away.

Gm: you can't move or scream you're a ham.

Ham: I try to pretend I'm getting cold so no one will want to eat me.

Gm: Your plan works, you hear (if you could hear)the creature with the knife and fork near you say, "(this ham is looking cold best save it for leftovers.

Ham: screams(if I could scream) in absolute terror, "NO NOT LEFTOVERS!"
