General Notes:
I try to post every day to keep things moving, and if you can keep a similar pace, that would be great. We all have real life interruptions of course, so if you can't post and we're in the middle of something like a combat, please give me bot instructions or I'll assume your PC does Total Defense.
Please place a good array of information in your character header. Knowing your PC's EAC/KAC, Perception mod, Initiative mod, etc., saves me a lot of time when doing posts. If you need help figuring out how to format that, we can help you. Important: I don't keep track of your character's stamina, hit points, resolve points, or daily resources. You need to do this yourself and update your tagline regularly as the game goes on.
If you want to earn extra GM love and you're not playing a pre-gen, posting a full character sheet in your profile is great. That way I can look stuff up and answer my own "how did they do that?" questions. Related, if you have some crazy weird or complicated build and want to explain anything, here's a good place.
You'll need a picture of your character for the grid scenes.
If you're new to Starfinder, Starfinder Society, or play-by-post, welcome! I'm always happy to help, and please don't be embarrassed if you have any questions.
Finally, role-playing is good! Please give your PC some personality and engage with the other PCs and NPCs. I'll gently move us along if we're dwelling too much in one part of the scenario.
Any questions, ask away!
If you've signed up, please feel free to introduce your character in Gameplay. We'll get started with the briefing in about 24 hours.
Back in 48 hours.
Just an early heads' up/reminder that in a couple of weeks, I'll be away for a couple of weeks.
More a note to myself than anything, but please double-check I have your character's level correct below:
J'Shun: Level 10
Loki: Level 10
Chorizal: Level 9
Kosigan: Level 9
Rattus: Level 7
APL: 9.0
Subtier 9-10, no four-player adjustment, but Rattus will receive out-of-subtier credits.
Ok, no worries--that brings the APL to 8.8, but rounding to the nearest whole number (as the Guide states in this particular instance) still puts us at subtier 9-10. Chorizal will get out-of-subtier credits though, so it's good to know.
Could you fine folks please do me a favour?
I need some of you to put more information in your attack dice rolls.
Specifically, I need you to list whether your attack goes versus KAC or EAC, which foe you're attacking (by color or some other marker), what modifiers are being applied, and what type of damage you're doing. Otherwise, I have to spend extra time going through your character sheet, looking up weapons on the Internet, etc., to try to figure this out myself.
So, as an example, an *unhelpful* dice roll looks like this:
A very *helpful* dice roll, for which your GM will love you, looks like this:
As mentioned in a couple of previous posts, I'm now off and away for 16 days without Internet access. We're making pretty good progress, and will pick right where we left off once I get back. See you then!
Hi everyone, I'm back, and although bruised, battered, and blistered, I'll have a post up in about 12 hours or so. Thanks for your patience!
Getting there--I need to Retrain to get the Toughness feat :) I have to go back on 8 November for another 9 day stint, but that'll be the last interruption for the foreseeable future.
A ticking time-bomb is a fortuitous cliff-hangar as I'm now away for 9 days as mentioned above and in Recruitment. We're making pretty good progress overall though, and once I'm back I think we'll be moving into the last third or so of the scenario.
We've still got a little ways to go, but I'm going to have hitmen sent to my door if I don't report this game to the convention organisers. Could I please get everyone to roll a d20 to see if you earn a boon? (if you want to go ahead and roll Day Job checks, etc., feel free)
