A place for out-of-character discussion.
I would request that players begin by discussing their PCs' starship role preferences here prior to the briefing.
Once they have been settled, please post your PC modifiers and preferences on the Slides.
Male Stellifera Space Pirate Operative 5 (SP 25/25) (HP 32/32) (EAC 15, KAC 16) (Fort +0, Ref +8, Will +6) (Init +10) (Perception +12)
Most likely aiming for Gunner.
Male LG Bloodseeker Tromlin Solarian (Electrical Attunement, Stewards Officer) 5 | SP 40/40 HP 49/49; resist electricity 5 (in solar armor only), piercing 5 | RP 7/7 | EAC 23; KAC 23 (22/22 without solar armor) | Fort +5; Ref +6; Will +4 | Init: +4 | Perc: +4 (low-light), SM: +4 | Speed 30 ft. | Attunement energy 0/3 | 1 Reroll | Active conditions: None
Kalhoun can sit in just about any non-technical seat on the starship and be effective, though he prefers the big one in the middle.
Captain: Diplomacy +9 / Intimidate +7
Pilot: +9
Chief Mate: +7
Gunner: +6
|| SP 0/5 HP 0/9 | RP 3/3 | EAC 12; KAC 14 | Fort +0; Ref +4; Will +2 | Init: +2 | Perc: +8 (low-light) PRECOG - 1
Celebryn would be best as Magic Officer (MYST+6), minoring in Visual Identification (PERC+8) when there isn't a Science Officer doing that.
M Dromada Augmented Ambusher Soldier 1: Spd:35, Init:8, EAC:15, KAC:17, SP:9/9, HP:9/9, RP:5/5, Fort:4, Ref:4, Will:3, Perc:5, Darkvision&lowlight

Sorry. Real life schedule has been a bit crazy. Expect an update tomorrow.

I just realized that I have played this scenario before. I have a replay I can use but will step aside if there's someone else who wants to play.

This is a replayable scenario, which means you can play it over and over again (though not with the SAME PC). As long as you do not have a chronicle for this scenario for Kalhoun, you are able to play).
Male Stellifera Space Pirate Operative 5 (SP 25/25) (HP 32/32) (EAC 15, KAC 16) (Fort +0, Ref +8, Will +6) (Init +10) (Perception +12)
Psst. Kalhoun? 1-12 Has the 'Repeatable' tag ;-)

We could have 2 mystical officers right? Like Science Officers?

I think that pilot is the only role that can't be doubled up. Gunner is limited by number of weapons.

Speaking of which, if anyone else wants to be a secondary gunner when possible), I strongly recommend it - just one of the Pegasus' weapons is not going to be enough to take this thing down (at least, not without a very protracted fight).

I have no real combat skills

Hesori Zou wrote: I have no real combat skills Unfortunately, this is a recurring problem with starship combat, i.e., PCs lacking useful skills. It was worse when this scenario came out because magic officer and chief mate were not even options at the time.
That being said, ANYBODY can be a gunner (Dex + BAB = Gunnery modifier) with at least a 1 in 20 chance of being a good one!
Male Stellifera Space Pirate Operative 5 (SP 25/25) (HP 32/32) (EAC 15, KAC 16) (Fort +0, Ref +8, Will +6) (Init +10) (Perception +12)
Please do. Statistically, *if* I hit, half the time my damage output from a single weapon from the Pegasus chassis will barely break through the shield energy it looks like it can recover each round, so if we rely on one gun, it could end up taking 20-25 rounds of combat... assuming it doesn't take us out before then.
|| SP 0/5 HP 0/9 | RP 3/3 | EAC 12; KAC 14 | Fort +0; Ref +4; Will +2 | Init: +2 | Perc: +8 (low-light) PRECOG - 1
Celebryn will go take the other Gunnery position (Piloting +6)

Sorry for the delay, folks. My monitor was acting up on me for a few days and then quit completely. I have now got a backup working, so I expect to be able to get us back into a regular posting routine tomorrow, January 18th.

absoposilutely sure that I did Celebryn's roll at roughly the same time that I did Jeison's on the other table :( didn't see that coming is right!
M Dromada Augmented Ambusher Soldier 1: Spd:35, Init:8, EAC:15, KAC:17, SP:9/9, HP:9/9, RP:5/5, Fort:4, Ref:4, Will:3, Perc:5, Darkvision&lowlight
I know, it is weird, but the whole discussion was on a roll20 game. You can literally drop stuff or leave it anywhere, and it gets recovered automatically, it don't make much sense, but at the same time PFS/SFS has a few things that don't make sense, they just write up what is fair to the best of their ability.
You can literally drop it in the middle of the ocean and it gets recovered, instead of lost.
But yeah, he would have buried in a section where it is less likely to be hit by meteor pellets. We would have been under high gravity before we hit the map.
Although now Rover is melee character for the rest of this scenario.

I really wish I had my character with Call Truce here, but she's in another system...
Male Aasimar Wizard 18/ Rogue2
I will try and figure out what I wish to do by tonight after work. At least I hope too.

Just a heads up to the table. I am attending a local convention this weekend with my son, so my posting may be limited--or even nonexistent--between now and Monday.
Destiny of Sands | Nothing Special | To Scale the Dragon
I plan to report and send out the link for chronicles within the next day.
If you want your Day Job roll on the chronicle, please post it here.

No day job. Also, I'm giving up 10% of my credits earned to check two boxes on Stellar Archaeologist, it was a charity boon from GenCon 2023.

Kalhoun forgoes his day job check to mark boxes on the Instructor boon.

Game has been reported for Gameday and should appear within the next few days for ACP.
Chronicles may be found here.
Please let me know of any corrections or revisions.
I filled in Day Jobs for those I saw had posted. Otherwise, players are responsible for Day Jobs and any other Downtime activities per the Organized Play Guide.
I will keep this campaign active until I have confirmation of receipt of chronicles by all players or one week, whichever comes first.
Thanks again all for playing! I had a lot of fun and really enjoyed your PCs. I look forward to sharing tables with each of you in the future!
Happy Gaming!

Chronicle looks good. And it looks like I'm getting a promotion.
Thanks for a great game, everyone, especially Valen for running!
