Yeah, never really gave that system much of a look over even though I probably should as a player. psionic shields huh? I'm sure Yusil'd have some interesting dialogue about that.
I don't have much experience with ship building. I just always like speed & maneuverability.
Yeah, we upped the speed last time, and I figured upping a weapon would make sense, given the storyline.
I have no problem upgrading the ship, especially in this campaign. Some players have interest in that sort of thing, some don't.
Is everyone ready for me to post Season 2?
re: Urban Defenders, I'll PM you guys the Roll20 link at some point. I'd like to get all the players together to do character gen, so we'll hold off on that until I have at least one more player. My hope is to do weekend afternoon, one day a month. Hopefully everyone can swing that at least once in a month.
We could maybe try to recruit one or two more folks before we start on season 2? Do some RP on the ship in the meantime or something.

Fair enough. Do you have anyone in mind? I could ask the people in my Caldovan Marches campaign if they're interested.
Not off the top of my head.
Spizz from Caldovan Marches here, only played Starfinder the once, but I wouldn't mind taking another crack at it!

Good deal. Do you mind trying your hand at Engineer (ship function)? Mechanic is kind of the Go-To class for that, but you can go with any class really as long as you have decent Engineering.
If not, we can look at other positions on the ship. Mystic (reskinned as a Psion, per campaign info) would be interesting, considering the OSF is preparing for war with Illithids.

Not too too difficult to get into, it's very similar to the base game in many respects. Would be happy to have you about.
Reminder as we complete our leveling up in preparation for the next part, 5th level is your first ability score bump. Choose four of your ability scores to increase. If that ability score is 17 or higher, it increases permanently by 1. If it’s 16 or lower, it increases permanently by 2.
Ooo, nice
So long as I don't actually need to show my ugly mug, I could find that to be fun. I've wanted to play a regular campaign for a supers game since I got into them, it's all been PBP for me this far.
I'll give it a shot... will depend on schedule. Sounds very cool!
Are you guys able to make either 3/19 at 1:00 PM CST or 3/26 at the same time? For 3-4 hours for session zero of urban defender? audio/video (video optional).
A sunday! I was hoping it was gonna be Sunday, that's brilliant. I can make that. Of course my impatient ass would prefer it even sooner, but such is the perils of monthly or so I' been told.
I don't know that my social calendar goes that far out. But, I believe it works!
Okay. Let's aim for the 3/19 for now and see how it goes. I'll send you a link to the game on roll20 before then.
Our new Player is basically finished with character creation. I will be kicking off the intro to Adventure 1 of Season 2, "The Fugitive" this week.
Howdy! I'm a lizard! Not a lot of Vesk profile pictures as far as I can see...

Sounds like discrimination, someone should sue Paizo.
Welcome, Lt! Sounds like access to good armor! :)
I'm a little unclear, are people playing multiple characters? Should I build a secondary, or a backup, or something?
Yep, each of gets a primary and a secondary, whose prominence in scenes and missions can vary depending on the story and who you want to play. For instance, my primary is Legion-12…
…and this is my secondary, who’s a friendly if somewhat eccentric sentient swarm of bugs.
Noted! I suppose I'll try and think of another, but it takes some work to make a 5th lvl SF character, it might take me a little bit.

Sorry, I was planning on easing you in as Krema before adding the responsibility of a 2nd. It's a little less necessary for you since your Engineer can be made to fit most missions.
We're largely full up on main department positions; perhaps a Mystic from Sciences for situations that call for such things? Not a demand, just a possibility to look into.
You good Oren?
Work on a rather unpleasant genetically enhanced mindbreaker has begun. A decent backup, but I like playing friendlier characters, so I hope to stay with the Lt. for a long while!
You good Oren?
I's good!
Almost done with armor selection... (for both characters).
Yusil might be failing that 'b-something test', but she's a Roma tic at heart and doesn't care. ;)
Couldn't get through Paizo to the campaign yesterday, sorry!
Does Oren have any back channels she can try to get more info from being Operator (Spy) origins/background?
On board she's seen as shuttle pilot & diplomat, of course.

Give me a diplomacy check if you want to make some calls.
I was reviewing by Skills and it looks like I took Skill Focus... apparently a no-no for operatives as it doesn't stack with Operative's Edge.
May I swap it out? It's Diplomacy... I've already used the lower number in that room.
May I swap it out?
Go for it.

Keeping is simple with Improved Initiative.
About how fast do you imagine planetary transportation to be in the settings year, Rando?

Well, I'd imagine bullet-trains are quite common. Small shuttles for the more wealthy, but of course you have one of those available, should you choose. I'd say if you're going in the local area, anywhere from Newark, NJ to Hartford, CT to the spaceport in the Catskills would be accessible in a half hour from boarding.
Via shuttle, I'd treat it like a mach-speed flight, maybe an hour to Chicago, couple hours to Europe.
I posted before I saw your area confinement, but that's still good to know nonetheless!
Been watching a lot of police procedurals... sorry if I'm going off on a tangent!
And, she's trained in medical/nurse.
Don't want to over-saturate you guys with Rando-ness, considering two of you are in my upcoming Roll-20 game and this one, but my Caldovan Marches Pathfinder 1e Game (2nd level) is accepting up to two players, if anyone else is interested (except Kazmanaught, who's already there). If no one here is interested I'll reopen recruitment.
what type of format is it?

Oh it's here, Play by Post. Is that your question?
Yep, that was it. Schedule constraints and all, not so much when it comes to PBP. What's the setting adventure?
Okay, had to throw something together, as the world was kind of crafted as we built the first PCs, so info was strung throughout the threads.
Here's some info:
New Player Intro
The PCs started in, and are currently back in, a small-ish frontier town known as Albarra.
They are preparing to leave town to explore some bandit-type activity operating out of an old military complex not far from town.
Current PCs are:
Pious (Human LN Inquisitor)
Spizz (Kobold NG Sorcerer)
Rocko (Gnoll CN Ranger, though he plays CN very casual)
We just lost a Druid (Player ghosted, no idea if they'll return at some point). We could use a Cleric or other healer, or a Rogue or other sneaky person, but we can probably make any class work.
I'll never quite get the love for gnolls, but then again I've only ever pictured them as those WoW enemies. "You no take candle!"
Which come to think of it, those guys are probably closer to kobold.
Hmm... With the need of a divine caster, maybe a wild elf who venerated an elven diety relating to death? I like this idea of this deeply religious individual whose practices and ideals might be seen as barbaric to civilized people. Why they're even associating with normal society could be a personal mystery.
Mechanically, I'm tempted to dabble in necromancy, but that depends on player preference. They wouldn't be evil, perhaps more TN in nature. I'd still pick up the regular divine healing and what not, as that's what they're mostly there for. The idea of having more bodies on the field could be helpful for combat is all. Dunno, it's not something I've ever tried.

Never have to ask me twice (or did you?)!
I'll take the other character, currently roguey-goodness.
If Uret changes his mind, I'll switch. No worries at all.
Happy to take input from current players, too.
I play Spizz. Words of power blaster based fire sorcerer. Very friendly, mostly grew up in a cave with other Kobolds. Thinks buildings are the coolest, working on his ability to speak common.
I think that Pious would probably have a problem with necromancy on principle, based on their name you should already have a pretty good idea about what the character is about. Spizz is too uneducated to have a distaste for necromancy, unless it's gross like zombies. Skeletons would be fine, because they aren't yucky.
GM, if we do end up with a rogueish type, can I trade out that trait I took to get trapfinding and disable device? It eats a lot of my very limited skills/lvl.
Somehow I had an assumption that Pious might have an issue, dependent on his god's tenants. :lol:
I know how that trapfinding can be as a non-rogue, particularly for something like a sorcerer. Skills are a very precious resource.

You can, though, I thought I had given you an extra skill point per level to compensate for that. Basically giving it to you for free (except the trait) was my intention. With that in mind, make sure your skill ranks add up. If we get a better trapfinder, you can either switch the trait and drop the free skill points or keep it as a backup.
Uret and Hassan, if you guys don't mind dotting in over at the Caldova discussion page at some point, please do. If you get your characters done before the current PCs leave town, you can join them in Albarra, otherwise you'll meet on the road or maybe in the dungeon.

@Uret Jet
I've dotted, but you've got first pass at character concept whatever you want, even a rogue. I'll fill in (love doing that).

Ah yes, I had forgotten all about that! Thank you for the reminder :)
