Let's discuss out-of-character stuff here.
| GM Frost |
Hello, everyone! Thank you for joining this game. I posted the links to the Sign-Up Sheet, Macros, and Slides above for you to fill out before the start of the game.
1. Sign up on the Sign-Up Sheet (linked above) and provide Player Name, Character Name, Organized Play Number, Character Number, etc. We'll use the RPG Chronicles website for this.
2. Fill in your character and minion tokens, and marching order on page 2 of Slides and Maps (linked above). Also, update your character’s basic information, core stats, and skill modifiers on Macros (linked above).
3. Ensure your character's stat block/header includes HP, AC, Saving Throws (Fortitude, Reflex, Will), Perception bonus, and Speed.
4. Area templates (burst, cone, emanation, line) are on pages 3-7 of the Slides and can be copied to the Encounter Map.
5. Post regularly, preferably at least once daily and once on weekends. Follow the Organized Play Foundation Community Standards: "Explore, Report, Cooperate." Non-consensual character conflict is prohibited and can result in Infamy points.
6. I will roll initiative checks and use a block initiative system. PCs in the active block can post their actions, resolved in posting order. I will roll secret checks; players roll saving throws.
7. Use these symbols in combat posts: ◆ for single action, ◆◆ for two actions, ◆◆◆ for three actions, ↺ for reaction, ◇ for free action.
8. We’ll use the X-Card for safety. If something makes you uncomfortable, include '[X-Card]' in your post or message me privately.
9. Regular posting keeps the game flowing. Kindly inform us of any absences. Provide botting instructions if you'll be away.
10. Remember, the goal is to have fun! :)
Thank you, and let's embark on this exciting adventure!

I filled out what I could. The spreadsheet wouldn't let me enter Technomancer due to the validations, which makes sense, so I just left the class field blank.
| GM Frost |
Thanks for letting me know. It is now fixed.

That's a good way to get a feel for it ... and to figure out which parts of the Envoy pregen build look good on paper, but don't play all that great and you don't want on your actual character.

Just wanna check I have the right players from the Event Listing:
UncleFroggy (TBD 1)
cmlobue (pregen based on party need 1)
Halgur (TBD)
Redelia (Gabitha 1)
azjauthor (Klicknop, Technomancer 1)
| GM Frost |
I just reached out to Luna, UncleFroggy might have forgotten about the game.

This mechanic really does not seem right. In all other similar situations, we would know what the task is before choosing the PCs to complete it. Some scenarios would tell us what the task is, but leave out the specific skills; others would even tell us what the skills are before we choose. Could you please check that that is not what the scenario specifies?
| GM Frost |
-----
Tasks: Once arriving at each destination and learning about their task, the team must choose two PCs to complete the task. They must make this choice before learning what skills will be involved, and cannot change participants once the choice is made. Non-participants may loan the participating PCs equipment but may not otherwise assist in any way. [emphasis mine]
-----
I agree, it can feel punishing to players, since it risks sidelining characters who would otherwise have been the best fit for the challenge.
Players' best guess about the task is from the clue of the location being a restaurant and information about 'psychic chefs who deliver what the guests
didn’t even know they wanted'.

"Klick, Gabby. Luna says that someone is in trouble up there. Help me find a flying car or something. Maybe we can hijack it and get up there to help."
Navasi looks around for some sort of flying transport that she can commandeer or even hotwire.
For the record I don't think we can intervene from down below in time to help. I just feel that Navasi would make the effort. Plus I like the idea of her hotwiring a transport to do it.

GM: Are is our travel between tasks giving us the ability to rest for 10 minutes, for things like Treat Wounds, Refocus, or recovering from the cell stimulant spell?
| GM Frost |
Each task represents approximately ten minutes of time, so non-participating PCs can perform those activities that you mentioned, but I don't think the same can be done while traveling to another location.

Gabitha - I know you are travelling this weekend so were probably posting quickly, but I wanted to point out that Bless is a 2-action spell, meaning you have a third action available. Didn't want you to lose an action if there's something else you wanted to do.

This came up in a game I am running. There appears to be nothing in 2E Solarian that says being knocked unconscious makes you unattuned. Let me know if there is something I missed. It is sort of implied by the fact that you are "maintaining" attunement and manifestations, but it doesn't spell out the consequences of going unconscious.

Sorry for the confusion over botting Gabitha. I had said on Sunday that she'd delay after the boars, and thought the line about her "stabilizing" was just a description of her waiting on the boars. Didn't mean to give her a second set of Round 2 actions.
| GM Frost |
I see. For Round 2, I will use your botting actions then for Gabitha to heal Dae, and Dae can have their actions for Round 2.[/ooc]

I really suspect we are not getting the gold in this competition.

I think I need info from cmlobue's PC here: Sign-Up Sheet. As for the others, kindly check your details for reporting.

Earn Income (Crafting): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
I believe that is a crit ... so 16 credits?
Everything in RPG chronicles looks right for me. Thanks for running.
| GM Frost |
Here are your chronicles. The game is also reported to HQ.
Apologies for the slow and messy run of this game. But since I am now playing it with one of my characters, I am getting ideas on how to properly run it, and hopefully will apply them to my second run if ever. Thank you so much for playing the game!

Thanks for running. You did a great job. This is kind of a hard one to run, since each challenge restricts how many people can participate in the challenge.
Chronicle looks fine and the report is showing up on Paizo. Thanks!
