Starfinder: On Blade's Edge (Inactive)

Game Master RuneSeerFenzik

in my head canon Steel's voice sound like a slightly toned down "mister gustsy" from the fallout games.

Mister Gustsy Voice Lines.

I love the crew so far. I think this is going to be fun :D

steel gettin his maverick on!

Sorry for posting delays, I've been on the road all weekend.

For a bunch of people who probably just met days ago, this group has some good teamwork chemistry!

Yes. Very happy so far

Lucia's got just enough professionalism in her to not stir the pot (too much) unless someone starts something with her or gets overly obstructive when she's trying to do her job.

Same here. Nakotre's meant to be an easygoing, tries to get along with everyone kinda guy.

All four of you are excellent so far. I think I'll hold off on introducing a new crew member for the moment, liking the current party dynamics :)

Honestly, given what the party is up to right now, I dunno how other characters could be introduced anyway.

the last survivor of the sekhmet?

Huh, I guess that is a way. But it'd be the only way for a while.

(crud sorry for the bad formatting on that last post, it wont let me edit to correct)

I figured the same re: dropping a new person in, though I think we're fine with the four we have at the moment unless there's someone immediately lined up.

Also, Grenade Expert is a really cool class feature.

Damn right, it is! I have a Soldier I'm playing with that exact feature. He's with the Starfinders and I deliberately wrote him to have a plain and boring personality compared to the more eccentric members of the team! He quickly fell into the Team Dad role.

It is. I'm also a BIG fan of the experimental explosives option in the mechanic tree. makes me nostalgic for my pathfinder 1e goblin alchemist fire bomber, Kreeg. played him in the skull and shackles pirate themed adventure path and his chaotic butt ended up being the ship mascot. our ship's (christened 'The flaming Bastard') jolly roger was a goblin skull with a burning fuse coming out the top.

one time, when the captain got tossed out of a tavern, he picked him self up, dusted off and shouted, 'oh yeah! well i'm gonna go get my GOBLIN!"

the patrons all laughed.

so he got his goblin.

then there was the screaming and the running and the fire everywhere.

good times

God, now y'all are making me miss my old artificer. Tiny lil tinker gnome made an artillery cannon he called "Mortar-mer" that shot arcane charged shells that could level an entire forest. It was only ever brought out during long military battles in between adventures, but it was useful. The fun part was the shells were basically glorified grapeshot wads MacGyver'ed together from various bits of scrap and silverware, turning the cannon into a giant blunderbuss.

The final piece? He charged them with arcane power that he pulled from other minor magical items and the abilities of his party, giving it some elemental splash damage and enchanted the shells with illusion magic, making each shell look like a giant laughing gnome head tattooed with "Eat this!" all over its face.

Aahh, you were fun, Cuckoo. If I ever play you again, I'll be sure to roleplay you better and crazier.

everybody okay?

Yep!

Just waiting for the DM to see if we got the doors unlocked.

This basically, yeah.

i dont know how familiar you are with hero forge, but its a great tool for making character pictures. theyve got some great options if you want a 3d printed mini, even in color. and they just released color 2d standups printed in 3mm acryllic

I love Hero Forge! I use it to craft the visual reference for a lot of my characters because I'm not a good artist. I don't have the money or need to have minis like them though, but that could change in the future. I even have Asla made, with a link to her on her first in-character post.

i had one printed and a friend painted it before the put out the full color 3d print options. ive seen some reviews of the color prints and they look pretty ok. im REAL excited for the 2d color standees in acrylic, since those are going to print out looking a lot more like the character in the builder and bridge the gap nicely between cardboard minis you make yourself and the full 3d prints.

ive been using it for character portraits for a long time. (screen shots are free and ms paint 3d is my friend for snipping into a background)

their sci fi options unfortunately just dont quiiiiite fit my vision for steel tho. maybe i can fiddle with it...

theyve got some exciting new options coming soon. kitbashing parts around, resizing, lotsa stuff.

heres a link to the hero forge based image i am using for kreeg now. used paint 3d to cut him out and paste into a nice appropriate background image. this is pretty much what happened then our captain said "im gonna go get my goblin"

Nobody insults the captain but ME, ya hear?

because im bored and feel the need to show off my characters, here's the duo of Keirann and Dominique. Bit of background. Pathfinder 1e game. But it's set in an apocalyptic world where centuries ago magic nearly destroyed the world and its now kind of like somewhere between 'dark sun' and 'fallout'. Metal is rare. Civilization as we know it is almost non existent. And magic is RADIATION. Yes casting spells is painful. Yes EVERYONE in the party is a spellcaster to one degree or another LOL.

Keirann is a spiritualist (his class) and is bound to a spirit of despair (his phantom), Dominique, who lived during 'the burning' when magic destroyed the world. As a result of having a despair spirit in his head all the time Keirann is -perpetually- depressed and feels the weight of the world on his shoulders and an oppressive responsibility to 'fix this mess.' Our party has been steadily doing just that and making progress, but we have the "Anazon Knights", who systematically hunt down and kill anyone with special abilities, breathing down our neck. Wouldn't be so bad if they didn't have horses, metal armor, and GUNS of all things (inspired by the brotherhood of steel from the fallout games).

Keirann Colandrea - Spiritualist.

Dominique Du'Lorde - Phantom of despair

well i cant reach the DM via FB atm... so i dunno whats up

Who knows? He sounds like a busy guy though, so maybe IRL life is just keeping him.

I'm patient. Play-by-post games can have some droughts if people get too busy, but that's nobodies' fault. Was gonna PM him here & on Roll20 if a week goes by since his last message.

anyone heard from the DM via PM? heheh... it rhymes

-taps mic- this thing on?

Gave the DM a PM. (say that 5 times fast!) Hopefully he's just busy and can respond when he's less so. Other than that, I don't know what we gonna do if the DM can't come back to this game.

I did too, just in case.

so i first connected with Cul via facebook on a starfinder group where he posted wanting players. corresponded via fb messenger before joining the forum here. i dunno if its relevant but since then he's either deleted his fb acct or blocked me because suddenly it only shows him as unavailable. and no i hadnt been spamming him or anything heheh. so i dunno whats going on.

No one's heard anything yet from the DM I assume? Starting to worry about the future of this game.

-sigh- i have not heard anything. im afriad we've been ghosted. which is really weird because he seemed very engaged at first. i had been corresponding with them via facebook off and on with art suggestions and whatnot for the ship and he was fine with all that. then suddenly hes gone from fb, which i think means he blocked me in this case. :(

i hope im just being cynical and nothing bad happened tho.

Well if he doesn't come back in a week or so, I'll just say we've been ghosted. Might as well find some other game to shove Asla into at that point.

this makes me insanely sad. irl im kindof a forever gm and dont get to play much. play by post is one of the few ways i can get some play time in.

I feel your pain, my guy. It sucks too, cuz I'm new to both the Starfinder scene and the Play-by-post scene. I have absolutely no idea where to look for more campaigns like this one.

if youre on facebook may try checking out the starfinder groups there, thats how i ran into cul

Still no word huh? Unfortunate because I actually kinda liked the party dynamic so far.

Same. And unless it's possible for all 4 of us to just go out and find a replacement DM, I think we're screwed.

yeah i guess its about time to call it.
has anyone come up with any other leads on games available to play in we might migrate to?

I wish. Been looking around for more places to find starfinder games, and every one seems busy. Dunno if the game is just not as popular or if it's a busy time of year, but finding a game for even one person to join has yielded little. No idea how hard it would be for a group to find a DM.

The only thing I can think to do is to make a post on one of the LFG subreddits about a DMless group that's fully assembled otherwise. If everyone still wants to play together that is.

i certainly wouldnt mind it

i posted in the LFG subreddit on our behalf

Neato. Let's see if this gets us anywhere.

Would it be helpful if we gave contact info?

well we can keep in touch with each other here easily enough for now i think.

are the others gone? did we lose them too?

I'm still interested but if you guys find something it'd probably be better to contact me on roll20, since I'll probably not be checking here daily like I was since I don't have anything else going on here.

got a potential bite on reddit, ill keep you all updated
