Sorry for the lack of posts, I got knocked out for a few days from a bad sinus infection. I'm mostly better, but it hit me like a truck.

I'm having trouble gauging the heights of the objects on the map. I assume there's a ton of difficult terrain here, but which things are half-wall-ish height and which ones are full height walls?

Do we have anyone with a piloting modifier higher than +10?

![]() |

Seggas will probably have to be a science officer or back up engineer (as we can double up on that position I believe).

![]() |

Sturmvanger not know fancy space boat controls. Sturmvanger shoot guns!
Actually, he'd make a good Chief Mate, but that's a position that's of limited use.
But if we end up with more gunners than guns, that's what I'll switch to.

Twila-5 has +10 Acrobatics, +8 Piloting, followed by a +6 in Computers and Engineering. She'll probably do Chief Mate if there is something useful for that one to do, or be a back up Engineer or Science Officer if not.
So far we have:
Captain: ?
Pilot: Cha'mon Cha'mon)
Engineer: Rilynn
Science Officer/Engineer: Seggas
Gunner: Sturmvanger
Chief Mate/fill-in Science Officer/Engineer: Twila-5
Magic Officer: ?
For RP purposes, I nominate Morvruul to be our Captain. Heheh.

It would probably be better for Twila-5 to be the gunner and Sturmvanger to be Chief Mate, if necessary. You can add your ranks in piloting to your dex for your modifier to hit and Sturmvanger will be using his BAB plus dex as the modifier. I suspect your Dex is higher.

Works for me! So now we have:
Captain: ?
Pilot: Cha'mon Cha'mon)
Engineer: Rilynn
Science Officer/Engineer: Seggas
Gunner: Twila-5
Gunner or Chief Mate: Sturmvanger
Magic Officer: ?

I also nominate Morvuul for captain just to see what happens!

I don't think Twila-5's bonus to gunnery is correct. +11 is really high for a 1st level character.
According to the starship combat rules, in the Attacking section:
Gunnery Check = 1d20 + the gunner’s base attack bonus or the gunner’s ranks in the Piloting skill + the gunner’s Dexterity modifier + bonuses from computer systems + bonuses from the captain and science officers + range penalty
Twila-5's Piloting skill: +8
Twila-5's Dex modifier: +3

It's skill RANKS not skill TOTAL (I've gotten that wrong, before.)
So, you wouldn't get your class skill bonus, for example or ability score bonus in that part.
I'm betting for Twila-5 it's:
Twila-5's Piloting skill Ranks: +1
Twila-5's Dex modifier: +3

Sturmvanger, is correct.

AH! That's what I missed! It seemed too good to be true. Ah well. I'll take my humble pie with some whipped cream, please. Thanks, guys.

I'm sure there will be a flurry of messages like this around the board soon, but I'm off tomorrow and Monday for the holidays so my posting will likely be sparse, if not nonexistent.
Merry Nondenominational Season of Joy, Reflection and Sharing to everyone!

Likewise! I'll be super busy Friday and Saturday, but should be able to resume a normal posting schedule on Sunday.

![]() |

I'm not super busy for the next few days, but New Year's Eve and Day I'm probably not going to be able to post readily.
Hope every has a great winter holiday(s)!

![]() |

Whelp, said I wasn't going to be busy and wasn't but also failed to keep up most of my routines which included posting here! Sorry for the lack of posts, but with work starting up again, I should be good to keep regular posting!

This is really a well-crafted module. It feels good to be rewarded for putting points into CHA. I've been playing this character for two years and I think this is the first time I've been asked to make a Disguise check.

Don't forget Sturmvanger and Seggas act on the higher of their two initiatives due to Sturmvanger's Partner Bond ability.

From Tues. Jan. 25th to Feb. 4th, we'll be getting major electrical work done on our home. They have a plan in place to maintain our internet access, but you never know how these things will go. Feel free to bot me if you don't hear from me in 24 hours.

@phaeton_nz, How would you feel about running Year of the Data Scourge?

![]() |

I've done it twice before but, if there is enough demand for it, I could do it again.

![]() |

I'm interested if you'll have me. And also, thanks for running this game, GM. That was the most balanced scenario I've played and a really good group.

![]() |

I'm definitely up for it. I'm basically up for any level 1-4 SFS scenarios from season 4 if you are willing to run them.

![]() |

I've already played that one with Twila-5, so I wish you all the best of fun and luck.
Thanks for running this, phaeton_nz. First Starfinder character to level up! Hooray!

![]() |

Seggas and Sturm have also played 4-01 already sadly. It was a fun table, but we would have to step away.

![]() |

Yeah .. I think you two were at my table when I did it.

![]() |

Signed up for 4-01!
GM, thanks for running this table (and offering another)!
All, thanks for another fun run. I look forward to sharing tables with you all in the future!

![]() |

Last time I ran two tables of 4-01 play-by-post in the Paizo forums simultaneously. I'd like to not do that again.

![]() |

My Chronicle looks good. Thanks again!

I'm signed up. Thanks for running this table and now giving Cha'mon Cha'mon and Morvruul a chance to potentially ruin each other again.
Their relationship has a real Spy vs. Spy feel to it.

I love the RP between you two, and hope you have get to adventure together often.

Alfred E. Neuman approves.
