Qstor's Starfinder game SFS 1-3 (Inactive)

SFS character info

Player: Warah
Character Name: Anock
SFS Character Number: 289224-703
Class & Level: Nanocyte 1
Current XP: 0.75
Faction: Wayfinders

Anock is a bossy, mediocre medic who thinks she's amazing. And that the lack of sanitary conditions in most places is appalling.

This table might have gotten canceled?? I saw you were running the other table.

Looks like you have three signups, which makes the table legal (and we can probably flag down a hitchhiker to play as 4th for no cred). Are you saying there’s concerns with this table going ahead? (Not sure what you meant)

(I can also bring a lvl 1 if that balances better)

Yeah I didn't see it the other day on the sign in sheet or maybe I needed new glasses. There were 2 tables of 1-3 I think.

I'd like to join using the Soldier pregen.

This table's entry is on line 57.

Player: Muzouka
Character Name: Kuon Firecleaver
SFS Character Number: 259896-2001
Class & Level: Soldier 1
Current XP: 0
Faction: Exo-Guardian

I've decided to create a new character for party balance

Player: Kludde
Character Name: The House
SFS: 108716-709
Class: Mystic 1
Current XP: 0
Faction: Acquisitives

The other outpost game I signed up for was canceled. Is it too late to join in here?

I have a level 1 Ysoki Operative 1

Player: Ashbourne
Character Name: Switch pockets
SFS: 2386108-702
Class: Operative 1
Current XP: Not sure just finished a bounty 30 minutes ago not sure how much XP you get for a bounty yet.
Faction: Wayfinders

no sure! Jump in

BTW, since it looks like it might matter soon, I vote for the Pegasus.

Anock’s best options for starship combat are Chief Mate (+6), Pilot (+6), and Gunner (+3). She prefers being the Chief Mate; pilot is second choice.

I’m in the ‘always Drake’ camp when it comes to battles. Manoeuvrability is overrated if you have guns :)

anyone else?

I don't have a ship preference; I've never been in ship combat yet. Whichever ship hits harder, I guess.

Engineering +9
Piloting +5

I don't feel too strongly about it, so if Anock prefer the pegasus, we can go with that. At level 1 the differentiation is not that big: it's basically the choice between missiles on a turret (drake) or (tiny) guns on all sides.

House has Dip +5, Mysticism +8

If we need to attack the orbital defense system, it might be better to have the turret, as we'll likely be attacking one target.

If one of the ships has longer-range scanners, that might help us get info without getting in range of the orbital defense system.

Ooo, good call, Switch. Others have posted a helpful link to some sheets for Starship combat:

Starship combat sheets

Towards the bottom it gives stats for the Tier 2 and Tier 4 Drake and Pegasus. Both have medium range sensors (Drake=budget; Pegasus=basic). Looks like the Drake is better for blasting things to smithereens, but the Pegasus has a science lab and a tech workshop. The Pegasus gives better bonuses to various checks as well.

Since we'll likely be doing more than *just* fighting in/with our ship, I still prefer the Pegasus. Thoughts?

Thanks for posting the rules.

I'll go with whatever is suggested. Not very experienced with ships.

Pegasus it is, then

Starship roles:

Engineer: Pockets
Pilot: Anock (unless someone else wants it)
Captain (Intimidate/various skills):
Gunner (Dex): Kuon
Science Officer (Computers):
Chief Mate (Acrobatics or Athletics):
Magic Officer (Mysticism):

@The House, where do you want to go? I get the feeling that we'll be grateful for a Science Officer at some point, but using the Scrying action from Magic Officer might be useful at the start.

If you're familiar with Starship combat, no need to read further.

Here and here are more links that define starship roles. (The link in my previous post doesn't have all of them.) We can switch between them each round if we choose. Not all of them need to be filled.

I'll just start out as magic officer. I've got a whopping +0 on gunnery, but I might still choose that if the alternative is not firing a gun.

My gunnery modifer is +7 if we need a 2nd gunner
My engineering is +9 but it looks like boosting weapons for damage just make 1s count as 2 points of damage not sure that's worth it.
I could also Demand as captain with a +6 to try to give + 4 to a role

Do we have the spec sheet for our ship? I'm trying to figure out our weapon range and damage.

I found the spec sheet
pegasas tier 2 .

The damage on the coil gun is 4d4 so might be worth the engineer check after all.

Sorry...I think we need a pregen

2 of the players never posted.

I've been posting. I'm waiting for the gunnery phase.

Anock was trying to set up clear shots on the platform. Unless someone tells her otherwise, she'll keep doing so.

I'm out of the House over Easter (Wed to Wed), so my posting may be slow. Please bot me as needed.

I will be cleaning and cooking a lot for the holiday weekend. I may be able to post, but I can't guarantee it. Please bot if needed.

Does Fast healing restore SP or HP?

In this case, only SP. See Reactive Repair.

I've had some unexpected circumstances come up. I'll likely be completely offline tomorrow, and less active over the weekend. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Good luck with whatever it is, The House!

No problem

Did we take the lion's head?

It's your call? I'll allow a retcon

There's a couple of encounters after a "skill challenge" so I'm trying to move forward so we can finish on time. I hope everyone is still having fun.

I hope everyone is still having fun.

Definitely!

I should be returning to regular posting frequencies this week.

Yup! Fun is being had.

I'm enjoying so far. The dice have been good to this uncultured soldier.

Pockets takes out his datapad and checks off the box for fun!

This week and Monday of next week my posting might be off a bit. I'm proctoring AP exams, so I don't know if/when I'll be able to post each day. Please bot if necessary.

with good reason lol :)

I had intended for Pockets to come off as overconfident bluffing or intimidating his way through situations. Then came the giant cat beast, the sudden realization that rats can't eat everything, and a trap that left him with 1 hp. Once Pockets gets over his PTSD he should be fine... Until the next large cat encounter.
Playing into his unplanned paranoia has been fun.

I've been enjoying the game everyone has some interesting character personalities going on as well leading to some fun interactions.

Anock can you post on RPG chronicles please :)

Thanks for botting Kuon whoever did :)

Done.

Agreed: the RP in this game has definitely been entertaining, and I hope to play with all of you again.

I've sometimes been surprised at how my PCs' personalities develop too. It's honestly fun when that happens, which is why I tend to be excited about signing them up for missions that don't cater to their strengths. There's more room for character growth when it's not smooth sailing and awesomeness all the way.

I think we had a lot of chemistry between our characters in this game, and I just loved the back and forth banter we managed to produce.

The game day is technically OVER tomorrow so lets wrap this up :)

thanks for playing!

chronicles

Let me know how they are!

Looks good. Are there any other scenarios that are related to this one or the ghibrans?
