GM Kate's 5-13 Finding the Forgotten (Inactive)

Game Master Kate Baker

Discussion goes here! This game will start after the end of the SFS Gameday Special, exact date to be determined.

I figure I should say, I GM'd this scenario once.

Thanks for letting me know!

Hi, everyone.

I'd like to play my technomancer, Twich, but she is in a scenario that I think will end soon. If that game does not end in time, I'll bring a pregen that I like that balances the party.

Sounds good!

I’ve signed in with Navasi, still have to set her up.

My go-to pregens are Altronus or Raia, so we'll see if one of those fills out the party. It's starting to look very unlikely Twich will be free in time.

Joining the crew... thanks for the addition, Kate!

I'm planning to bring my Star Shaman.
Grump Gunderson
CEO of Gunderson Mining Corporation.

For the sake of anyone not playing in it, the SFS special is still going. I may have thought we were closer to the end than we actually are! (I am a player, not a GM.) I'll give notice here when we'll get started with this game.

Thanks, Kate. Good luck with the special! :)

The SFS special has ended and the Starfinders are of course victorious!

Given that this is the week of Halloween, let's plan for the mission briefing for this scenario to start in one week on Monday, November 6th. I'll get slides up in a couple of days and you can also start sorting through starship roles.

As a mechanic, I can do Engineering and Science officer pretty well. I also have 10 ranks in piloting.

Navasi has piloting +15 (8 ranks), decent gunnery (+12) skills and has bluff as expertise skill to taunt the enemy...

Tash does his best on a starship in these two spots:
* Gunnery (+13)
* Chief Mate (Athletics +15, 7 ranks)

We have Slides! Linked both in the campaign description and my profile.

We'll start the briefing on Monday!

I've had the chance to play in a high level starfinder game today, so my character sheet has changed a little bit. Nothing major, I bought an augmentation and my credits and reputation increased.

I'm sorry, everyone, I'm not going to be able to join you after all. I'm still recovering from a nasty mess in real life, and need to keep my game commitments very small.

Oh no, Redelia! I hope your world levels out and gives you time for rest (and fun).

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that Redelia! I hope everything calms down for you soon, and I'll catch you in another game!

Grump's a decent pilot (+18, 10 ranks).
Beyond that, he's mediocre in the other Starship roles.

Looks like a couple of people need to fill out the slides still, but I will get us started!

I put Tash up front in the single-line marching order. He's flexible (ranged and melee) but he's not really a tank.

If we have a formal tank, you're welcome to take lead. Otherwise Tash will stay put. :)

Grump's definitely a tank - but not being a Soldier, he left room in the front.

Grump's a decent pilot (+18, 10 ranks).

Beyond that, he's mediocre in the other Starship roles.

Missed an update when I posted those numbers.

Piloting (+20, 10 ranks)

Okay, it's been a while since I've had to calculate this and the guide is down. Three eighth level PCs and two tenth level PCs averages to 8.8, which means high tier?

There are pdfs of the guide up here But yes, high tier.

Thanks!

Please make sure to fill out the Slides if you haven't yet, and get starship positions sorted.

One more question! Which starship frame would you like to take?

It looks like we still need Iseph to fill out the Slides, and then final decisions for starship roles. (Not that anything is about to happen!)

Do we have our final configuration for starship roles?

I think there's gonna be a bit of a discussion over the pilot role.

I've started a dialog in the Gameplay section.

Eh. For what it is worth, Iseph the character would probably care about being the pilot, but I the player do not.

More than happy to be relegated to gunner.

Sounds like our starting positions are Amariel as Engineer, Grump as Pilot, and Tash, Navasi, and Iseph as gunners?

We'll roll with that, and you all can totally change positions between rounds if needed!

Going to mention this because it is super easy to forget and miss, but at level 8, you start with an extra resolve point that can ONLY be used in starship combat. Page 322 of the core rulebook.

Excellent reminder, thank you!

Did anyone play #5-11: Archivist’s Inquiry with this character?

Not on this character.

Not at all :-/

I've played it, but with a different character

Not this one. Played it with a 'younger' character. :)

Much like Luke - Not at all.

I wanted to clarify Tash's thought about wanting to be in the jungle, since it feels kinda sudden in the story's narrative.

He enjoys constructed environs like anyone else, but given the opportunity to explore a new wilderness, he's like a kitten with a catnip toy.

In this case, he's done with people and wants to go play in the leaves and hunt wildlife.

His thought isn't any kind of editorial comment about anything with the game... it's just how he thinks.

We now return to our regularly scheduled game, joined in progress. :)

I'll move you along to the hospital tomorrow.

I'm trying to balance making sure that everyone gets to ask all their questions with also making sure that the game doesn't drag on for too long, so if anyone needs to retcon a question at any point, please feel free to do so!

Hey folks, real life is hitting pretty hard this week. I will still try to post once a day, but I wanted to give you a heads up.

I love that stunt by Grump, by the way. If I could only award hero points in Starfinder!

Happy to entertain.

A very happy New Year to all! :)

Indeed - Happy New Year!
