A place for out-of-character discussions.
Hi, all.
@GM: I did not fill out character name and class on the chronicle sheet fully. I am unable to edit my data. Please input Simbala Dae for my character's name. Her class is envoy. I was rushing to get a character created and signed up before trying to get some more sleep.
I have Simbala's level plan on Starbuilder completed but still need to finish character creation.
I will give link to updated character sheet after I finish her character creation.

Added to sign-up sheet but will need Org Play number for Chronicle.
I think the second entry on sign-up on sheet is me (Name TBD; Class TBD; Lvl: 3; 24 XP; 250 Credits), as when I tried to enter again (before you added me) it said my organized play number was already signed up.

Thanks for running SF2E.
Still working on character.
Mini character backstory is mostly done (via pencil notes, will get it typed up today).

@GM The slide are not accessible, could you open it for everyone? Thanks!
@GM: As I mentioned previously, I screwed up when I initially signed up on the chronicle sheet (as I had not logged into my account before signing up). You entered me in the third slot on the chronicle sheet, but the second slot is from when I signed up while not signed into my account.
So if you do not have a sixth player, please keep in mind to calcuate things for the scenario for a group of 5 (not six) PCs.
I am leaving shortly for a week-long vacation. I expect to have internet access, but that my posts will be limited or, possibly, non-existent.
If I do not post earlier, I will post again on 8/17.
[ooc]I don’t think you can Get’Em! Lead by example with a grenade as it’s an area attack (not a strike)[/ooc
I thought the same thing at first too...but them being stated as 'simple thrown weapons' makes it seem like you make a Strike roll to attack with them, and if so, means they can be used for the free Strike with Get 'Em!.
An item with the grenade trait can be thrown with a range of 70 feet using the Area Fire action as though it had the area (burst) trait at the listed radius using a single action instead of two actions. Grenades are simple thrown weapons that are expended when used. If you apply the critical specialization effect of grenades, apply the grenade's listed effect to each creature that rolls a critical failure against the grenade's effects. Unlike most weapons, grenades can bounce off a solid surface (not a creature) once without exploding. This allows for grenades to move in a straight line toward a solid surface, then move up to their remaining distance in another straight line from that point, potentially even bouncing out of line of sight.
I forgot to read up the specifics of area fire - so I did not need to roll an attack roll....you would think the attack roll would be to see if you throw the grenade/reusable grenade shell accurately to where you want it to explode.
Going to retroact my post to draw weapon first so she can use the free strike from the 2-action Get 'Em! to throw her shooting starknife.
My apologies for the slow down in posting. Between forums issues and the press of life, I have not been able to keep the posting pace 8'd planned.
I am currently traveling and don't expect to post again until September 1st but anticipate retuning to my usual post rate then.
Still no internet access at home. Hopefully tomorrow will get it sorted (as they are closed today because it is Labour Day) and should either have internet access at home again or be waiting for new modem to arrive via mail.
To conserve my mobile data for checking PBP campaigns and posting in them, will probably not check Slides via mobile data. @GM: Please adjudicate my actions as necessary so they match up with map.
Bad news: my mobile phone (that is my activated phone) is an iPhone (my first one, which a sibling gave to me) - requires an additional (third) one-time fee to get Pathbuilder set up on, and how I pay for such things (prepaid credit card) does not work, so cannot upload Pathbuilder links that I had not already completed and added to relevant character aliases on Paizo.
Bad news: my former phone, which I have the mobile android version of Pathbuilder on, I have not actively used for months/more than a year, so did not have my newer PBP PCs on it. Since my android mobile phone is not my activated phone, no option to use mobile data on it.
Good news: A few blocks from where I live, a government building had their guest wi-fi on, which I discovered earlier today hoping nearby Tim Hortons still provided free wi-fi (there was no wifi being registered on my phone from Timmy’s.
Good news: After several attempts to get government free wi-fi to become stable/reconnecting at least a few times, was able to access my drive for my Pathbuilder account on my android Mobile phone, and saved all my current PBP PCs onto a new local folder on my android mobile phone.
Bad news: Some, but not all my new PCs were already completed (except for gear for some of the completed PCs). Due to losing the last two days of my planned time to complete all my PBP PCs because of unexpected interruption of my home internet, it will take me considerably longer to complete PCs via mobile phones than it would have on my computer.
Good news: I have today and tomorrow to get their mechanical build and gear finished.
Bad news: The various backstories for some of them I will not have done (I need to be in relaxed state and being using my laptop to type them - as trying to type them on mobile is more stressful than relaxing)
Bad news: To try to conserve my mobile data, my posts will lean more to bare bones mechanical posts than including flavor text as part of my posts (as it takes longer typing up posts via my mobile phone than computer) so that I do not fall behind on my PBP commitments more so than not having home internet/ability to post via computer.
Good news: I might have enough mobile data to stay up to date (sans seeing maps as easily) should I be waiting for new modem that is mailed to me.
Bad news: Some (though not all) of my character headers I like to format in ways that 1) present info in easy to find with 2) spoilers strategically placed to aid in #1. For time being PCs who do not yet have headers will be getting bare bones headers.
Apologies for long post. Hopefully the above covers everything.
@Big Red: Provided you agree, on our next initiative block, let Simbala go first to use the 2 action Lead by Example In the Spotlight! with you, so the foe becomes flat-footed to our attacks and you become concealed to its ranged attacks.
Simbala will use the stride of the In the Spotlight to get into position so that she is flanking the foe with Luna (if Simbala can be in that space...otherwise the space to the left of it).
I apologize for a slowdown in posting. I have been dealing with an unexpected uptick in workload. Also, this weekend my son and I are headed to a local con. I likely won't post again until next week and should be ready to move onto the next encounter then.
I played this scenario at a con over the weekend. Even knowing what was ahead, those despair cannons were brutal.
I will probably not have much, if any, time to post tomorrow and Friday this week (and Monday), though will have time to post over the weekend.
That's a good point.
I wonder if whoever typed up the Directive trait was under the impression that direction feats worked that way and did not include the one directive per turn in the type-up because of a miscommunication.
Internet went out. Tech stopping in tomorrow morning. Hopefully will have internet back tomorrow.
Construction cut internet cable, I should have internet again in 24 to 48 hours.
Finally have home internet again.
It was not a cut wire. Someone stole a lot of copper wiring from the building, and the phone company finally finished the job replacing things today. I do not have much energy left today and have stuff I have to head out for tomorrow. I should be finished getting caught up on most of the PBPs I am in by Wednesday evening, prioritizing the Game Day PBPs first.
Trying to get caught up for a week's worth of gameplay in each of my PBP within 2 days was not possible, even without the added real life stress factors that started last week and I am still dealing with this week. As I am still dealing with some real-world stress issues, it might be more every second/third day posting in some of my PBP while I continue to get caught up in the remaining gameplays of the PBPs I am in.
I focused on the gameday specials and the gameday PBPs I am in that had the lesser amount of gameplay posts...so ones with 50+ gameday posts (like this one) were put to the back of my catching-up Game Day PBPs so I could get caught up in the most Gameday PBPs the quickest.
Already got caught up with one of the (50+ gameplay posts during my week without internet) PBPs today. Depending on how stressful today is will try to get caught up in some more tonight.
I took a break from the boards for the weekend to better be refreshed for the start of this week to better focus on getting caught up in the rest of the Gameday PBPs I am in.
As I have been trying to get caught up on my PBP Game Day PBPS first, I have not caught up on the gameplay for this PBP yet.
Take care of yourself! Don't burn yourself trying too hard!
I think we're good here and we are on the finish line :)
