If you haven't selected (or highlighted in your profile) please make sure to state the backgrounds each character has. Take time to tweak things. It's okay to move skill points here and there to make sure things are covered.
In the coming few days I'll be throwing updates together on the main page thst will include things like stats to the company ship you begin with and the Roll20 link.
I still might want to reallocate some skill points, but other than that Ace is good to go. Need to add the remaining credits.
Background: Former Smuggler. Turns out, melding with your gear is an easy ticket to smuggling.
Half-right is a terraformer by background and has mainly kept his magical nature low profile, though not entirely a secret. Especially with his fellow crew members.
As for tweaks, I am mainly all set though I am open to change up skills and spells based on how the group works out, in combat and out, and what roles people want to take on the ship. The primary role would be magical officer for Half-right but with a little tweak here and there he could also do other things (just not nearly as well).
Also, DM, what is you thoughts on the Scaling 0-Level Spells Variant? I found in the one game I have run that it was a good thing for casters, but as it is a variant, I don't want to assume you are good with it.
I'm going to need some help refining him where needed, please and thank you
I think background is different than theme here, for instance here's what Ace's stuff looks like:
Class: Soldier
Archetype: Racer
Theme: Ace Pilot
Background: Former Smuggler.
I think Background affects interactions with NPCs later? That's the only reason I could hazard it'd differ from the theme.
Theme : robotcist
Class : mechanic
Archetype : hand of the All-Code
Background : miner
If any of these don't fit or could be tweaked, please let me know
@DMD
Is it possible to increase the size of a drone? From medium to large for example?
Xevras was a terraformer--maybe he and Half-Right chatted sometimes.
I may not be very present the next few days, I'll be traveling between Christmas and New Year's Eve.
Oh god the height difference between Xevras and Ace must be massive, I'm realizing. How tall is Xevras?

Robyte is round 3ft. Not sure exactly yet
Xevras is around 13' tall. :D
Ace is upper 2 feet.
Question: how did you get your KAC so high at level 1, Xevras? The only reason I could manage getting to 17 is the tail letting me hold a shield while also holding a rifle.
Ah, because I forgot to change that from what it was in his old profile, good reminder. XD
Alright, all-around 11s makes more sense. 10ft is... certainly a height difference. Enough to take fall damage from.

Wait, is this crew "Xevras and a bunch of people who barely come up to his knees?" XD
I suppose Half-Right is probably at least 5' tall, but we have so many Small characters, and then there's Xevras on the larger side of Large... :D
I'm pretty sure that's the cast. Try not to step on us!
Ace: Small-bordering-on-Tiny, sometimes actually Tiny thanks to Vulpine Shape.
Robyte and Nik-a-Nik: Small
Half-Right: Medium
Xevras: Large-bordering-on-Huge.
Oh and it goes without saying: happy holidays!
I was imagining Half-Right as closer to 6 ft. And happy holidays to everyone.
Hope you all have a blessed Christmas
I can't seem to see any Skitter profile picture option :(
Starfinder options in general seem to be kind of lacking. I wasn't expecting the li'l humanoid squoxes mentioned in one comic then dropped, but no skitters is actually surprising.
Any input on the build welcome
I can't see it, but your build looked fine from the PDF from earlier*
*: This is my second Starfinder campaign. Take this with a grain of salt.

only difference is i added some travelling gear and added the archetype
Then it looks fine to me! (Again, grain of salt)
I'm going to be away from home today through the 30th, so my responses may be sporadic.
Yeah, that link is giving me a 404, so I can't give any feedback.
Yeah I just kind of figure people will be slow up until the 2nd.

I think it's because there is no browser for it. I'll link it from Drive
Here is Robyte again. Hope this works better
I decided to name his Drone Skip or 5K1P
Looks good to me.
Take the land and boil the sea
You can't take the sky from me
Huh. Learned two new things about Starfinder.
One: Polymorph rules! Apparently you can talk while polymorphed in Starfinder? Added Squoxified stats in {} just in case they ever need to be used in the game.
Two: You have to align shields. Rest in peace permanent KAC 17.
Polymorph is very awesome in Starfinder. I have a kitsune character that spent a lot of time in her custom polymorph forms.
Yeah, I currently have a Kitsune so I didn't want to make another one. The +4 on these guys was too hard to resist though. I would have gone Astrazoan for the absurdity of "what can you polymorph into: anything that has a size of Medium", but I didn't realize they exist until after I made your local "squox".
I do have to ask: being polymorphed into something like a squox means no weapons, right?
Who had the bright idea of starting this during the holidays? What a dummy :P
There is a GP thread now live. The Roll20 page is active, also, let me know if anyone has trouble claiming one of the "OPEN SLOT" characters and adding a profile pic/token of their choice (otherwise I'll snip the profile pic from here before the first real action scene).
Everyone should drop some sort of introductory post before I advance things a little, just so I know everyone's formally checked in.
You'll also see some details on the company assigned ship you begin with, as well as some standard equipment used by EJ on their cargo vessels. Basically a tractor with trailer and a pair of hover carts that are essentially handtrucks/dollies that float. These things are company gear, so damage or lose them and EJ will take it out of your pay!
There are also handouts available on Roll20 with that information, and a few NPCs as related to backgrounds (those are still being fixed, but you'll have some pretty pictures soon).
Also, DM, what is you thoughts on the Scaling 0-Level Spells Variant? I found in the one game I have run that it was a good thing for casters, but as it is a variant, I don't want to assume you are good with it.
Let's keep things as RAW as possible for now, I have a lot on my plate, so I find it always best to just stick to what I'm already familiar with.
I think I have the NPCs linked to backgrounds visible now. If you don't see the PC associated with your background in the HO section on Roll20, let me know. I'll be adding known NPCs to the Campaign info tab sometime soon.
I claimed one spot. But I'll edit it with sheet details at a later point
I'm not worrying about putting sheet details in, but I claimed a spot.
No one needs to do the sheet on Roll20. That's just because I setup a master version for a live game and copied the game settings lol.
I will prob do it for an extra source to look up my stuff :P
I'm back from travel, so I can start posting again! I was able to get into the Roll20 game just fine.
I do have to ask: being polymorphed into something like a squox means no weapons, right?
If I recall correctly, any polymorph that changes your creature type away from a short list merges your equipment with your body, but it's been a while since I looked at the polymorph rules.
Yeah, figured. Don't think dropping a weapon, polymorph, then picking it up would work either sadly.
There are ways to manage it, but yeah, they're usually more trouble than they're worth.
Okay, I'm kind of curious about what those ways are now.
More for the hilarity than anything.
Buy or modify a weapon so it can be wielded in your other form, drop it before polymorphing, and pick it up after polymorphing is the main way I know of. With the right spells you could *create* a weapon after polymorphing, as well.
What would the modifications be, is the question?
