[SFS2] Redelia's 1-01 Invasion's Edge

Game Master Redelia

This space is now open for character discussion

Thanks for (potentially) having me, GM!

The other class I was most looking forward to playing was Soldier. I actually have the iconic soldier set up on the paizo forums in this alias during the ill-fated playtest game that didn't pan out.

To save time (and also so that I can claim credit for this game towards my as yet unnamed Solarion) I'll claim the iconic soldier. If the SFS2e team releases any changes to her statblock, I'll update it but what you see is what you got.

Thanks, Redelia!

My old SFS-01 Mechanic, who is definitely my most favorite SF character, does not appear to re-creatable. Technomancer is a remote simulacrum and looks fun, there's a wacky witchwarper way to bring his AI into reality, and drone mechanic has some potential, but as far as the two SF2 play styles go, I'd favor technomancer or mechanic.

For non-spellcasters, potentially recreating one of my other characters, I also enjoy Envoy and Operative.

I think I'll either play a technomancer or a witchwarper, unsure which rn.

It looks like the Operative will actually give me the closest recreation with the Infiltrator (Computers) subclass.

What you're wanting to do with pregen credit is against the rules, actually. A character can only be in one game at a time, and assigning pregen credit to a character counts as that character being in a game.

Oh dear, thats disappointing. Ok, well, I'll probably have to drop from this game then - I'm not confident that I can build and play 2 different original characters in a new unfamiliar system at the same time. Was hoping the pregen would do the heavy lifting on the building end. Sorry players and GM.

I'm afraid you're misunderstanding me. You certainly can play a pregen, you just have to assign the credit to a different character.

For example, your -2701 and your -2702.

Ah, my apologies. I'll stay in the game then and assign it to a new other SFS character.

I wanted to point out to everyone here that various free resources for SFS2 play are now available. They are linked in the headers for Augustana Station.

Also, I just got the scenario, so I can start my prep work now.

How is everyone doing at getting ready to start?

I've settled on Operative (infiltrator), built out in Demiplane except gear.

For those who are watching, Herolab Online now has support for Starfinder 2, not just the playtest. I believe it's free to use for a few days if you have an account for one of the other systems.

Registered the character and dotted. You can de-click Sophia now.

not entirely sure where to find the pregens for sf2e. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Also I will be away for 3 days so I won't be able to get ready earlier than 5 days from now.

I'll poke those who have not been posting here tomorrow so that we can get new players if needed and hopefully get started in a few days.

To confirm, I am around :-)

OK, we will be starting in about 48 hours, if not before.

Sorry for the slow start.

My character is done

I was only able to get the SF2 rules 2 days ago. I've been spending most of my time since working up 4 new characters. I've got profiles for 3 of them, but could have the 4th ready soon.

I have a mystic healer, an android hacker operative, a human envoy, and a Pahtra soldier. I'll look over the rest of the team and decide who to play, but feel free to suggest what might fill out the team best.

Looks like we already have a soldier, a caster, and an operative, so I'll bring my envoy. I'm still working on the profile, but I'll try to have it ready soon. I've got it all on paper already.

Hoshi is ready to go.

Well the main problem I am concerned with is that we don't have enough healing. Between us we don't have anyone with a commercial med-pack, so we can't Treat Wounds after an encounter.

I would volunteer to take a commercial med-pack but I can't since I'm playing a pre-gen. If you want me to actually make a soldier who can afford a med-pack, I might be able to but it will delay the game further.

I have a mystic who is flush with healing spells, if you think this will be a problem.

Actually, I just had a look and it seems that the other soldier has medicine and a medkit. You should continue to play the envoy - that problem (out of combat healing) should be sorted.

Also - please send credit for Obozaya's misadventures to 2436750-2702.

Correct, Zmiersch can provide some healing. He also has Battle Medicine, so in a pinch, he can also provide some (very limited) in-combat healing.

That said, his main schtick is blowing stuff up with his cannon ;-)

Okay, I'll go back to playing Hoshi.

Please provide the info I need to fill out chronicle sheets before we start.

Hoshi Izarra
Envoy 1
Starting credits after spending on gear: 21 credits

Note: Hoshi has no secrets and will gladly share information about herself during the shuttle trip. All players should feel free to look at her profile, background spoiler, etc.

Those using the Paizo Firefox Browser extension to replace character icons, here is the image I am using for Hoshi.

Hoshi Image.

If anyone has a preferred image over the one provided by their Paizo profile, please share that with me and I'll use it on my view.

While there are lots of options in the Paizo gallery for humans and other common character ancestries, there is a woeful lack of good images of most of the playable Starfinder ancestries.

If your Paizo profile image doesn't match how you see your character, please be sure to describe your appearance in gameplay posts. Thanks.

Ah! A guitarist! I appreciate that someone else uses the Browser extension.

While I know Obozaya has official art in my headcannon she looks like a Commando Kobold and I'll keep describing her as such.

Before it's too late, I've made a few changes to my character. She now has the Keep on Keeping On Leadership style, which grants her battle medicine feat and a nice directive that allows her to do some healing during battle and enhance healing received by others.

I also had to adjust her gear to give her a medkit and lose the singing coil weapon as too bulky. She now just has a baton and a semi-auto pistol.

Her cash is now 8 credits.

I will be away from home for the weekend. I have access to hotel WiFi but I've tended to have trouble logging into the Paizo site to try to post with a tablet or phone.

still need reporting info for Aeovi before we can start...

I could have sworn I posted this:

Hawthorne - Blake's Tiger/Tim M - 230524-2701 - 0 XP - 3 credits

Also, I need everyone to fill in the first slide before we go further. In the initiative block, please use the format character name, skill for whatever skill you usually use for initiative.

Everyone please make sure you have a header for your character, and that it is not longer than one line on a computer monitor.

oops, sorry. 292559-2701 Klonac

Zmiersch: 2847-2701

I will add my data to the slide once I get back to where my PC is. Same for the header. Let us know if you want anything besides the usual AC and saves and hit points. I should be back Sunday evening.

I will be unable to post for the next few days due to being away from home. Can you please take care of the following before then so that we can continue?

-Aeovi, please fill out the first slide

-Hoshi, as we've discussed above, please add a header and add your info to the first slide. My main request with the header is to keep it short enough to fit on one line on a computer monitor.

-Zmiersh, please add your info to the first slide. I'm not going to require it, but it would be helpful if you'd also use a character image.

Thanks for your patience/understanding everyone, and I hope to find everything ready so we can resume when I return in a few days.

Slide updated. Header added.

Sigh; I get back and start posting only to come down with covid. Not up to posting, but will be back when I can

Tough luck. Take care of yourself.

Feel better soon!

We've had some bad news at home that's making it a bit of a struggle to get in the right frame of mind to post. (Our 12 year old tom cat has cancer; he's not suffering bad effects yet, but we don't want to put him through chemotherapy or surgery, so we're going to give him a steroid that may help slow the progression and make the most of the time we have left with him.)

So if you need to 'bot me, go ahead.
