Thank you DoubleGold for running. Glad things are calming down. Hope everyone stays safe out there.

boon: 1d20 ⇒ 11

I am fine with this

A diversion? We should check in with the delegates right away!

Come on you stupid ship! he bangs a wrench against the offending power conduit

Marbles will divert power to the shields to try and restore 6 (I think) shields points.
divert power: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

divert to science officer: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

Okay

Pilot 8
Engineer 10
Computers 8
Dex +4

Marbles gets escorted in with a bandage on his head. Well that was exciting and crazy! Looks like I missed the fun. Just as everything started to go to hell I got knocked out by a smoke grenade someone threw right at my head! After being filled in on the bank account and the belief that the ship they saw signs of is still somewhere around, Marbles gets a gleam in his eyes. He strokes his experimental weapon, happy to have it back and agrees Oh, yes. We would most certainly be happy to bring these culprits down.

Sorry for my super delayed ability to respond. My work started back up Monday and after not being open since mid March there’s been a lot of backlog and it’s just been crazy.

Marbles will participate in the celebration knowing to enjoy a good time time when you can.

Marbles looks around in awe

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Medicine untrained: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Engineering: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29

perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Seeing some movement Marbles looks up and around Huh? what?
[dice roll=perception] d20+2 [/dice]

Marbles looks at the bow in disgust then heads back Well at least some of you can use this artifact

Marbles shoots his bow attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10 damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Marbles will keep with the rest I have a bad feeling about this he keeps an eye out for trouble or carnivorous plants

perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

I have some physical science skill but no life science if we’re trying to figure out what it is

Marbles will pull out his bow and look around. Ready to follow the others.

Marbles doesn’t really know what he’s doing so he will try and aid someone in setting up the shelter aid survival: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Sorry for the delays.

I have physical science but looks like it was resolved and I don’t need to roll. I am fine moving on

Marbles gets ready for the morning march and calls it a night.

so close! Is there any event we haven’t passed yet? Besides the one I just failed. I’ll try and use my last 1 hour for that but it looks like we got everything else.

sorry been a really busy weekend for being stuck at home

Marbles will go to the party event 3: 1d4 ⇒ 2
As Marbles wonders around watching his serial Through his custom rig and data jack he comes across Professor Euiuyou and Ulkhat bend over a crystalline growth. He politely pauses his show as they call him over expecting to be completely bored.
Physical Science: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
He finds it interesting and tries to keep up but they are discussing things outside his experience and doesn’t think he made much of an impression. Instead of risking offending them he sits and listens to the lecture for another hour

Culture: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
Computers: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

Marbles will take his pack and hand over his tech and leave anything needed to behind. He takes comfort that his custom rig is part of the data jack in his brain. He downloads the entire series of Sanctuary Moon into the tech in his brain so he won’t be bored, straps his new gear on, Fun, yeah. his eyes gloss over slightly as episode 1 starts playing and he follows the rest to the shuttle.

Marbles will go get his kit and peruse the supplies. Are there arrows with this bow or are you just giving us a pretty stick with a string on it? he says sounding a little salty.

Marbles is wondering how he can smuggle his experimental weapon on this. Without it he’s going to be useless. Preoccupied, he just lets Gammer ask the questions.

As the strange dwarf leaves the bar a Ysoki walks in in full gear looking fresh off the shuttle, Just got back from Enereth-7, Give me the strongest thing you got! Need to wash the taste of Devourer magic and demon out of my mouth.

Thanks for running!

flash back to last time I played on paizo forum, when I didn’t roll above a 10 lol

Marbles fires again
Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 81d6 ⇒ 3

Fort Save: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

Captain Marbles Fires!
Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 115d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 2, 5, 4) = 15

and misses

I had positioned myself and was ready to shoot something with a supercharged weapon

I too am wondering if hive mind is allowed. I keep seeing people state if it’s not explicit in saying it’s not allowed it is allowed. But would prefer clarification.

Man, it's a very generous assumption that groups will calm down or subdue Susreth. I can't think of a single one of my groups that wouldn't be far more likely to blow him away.

My groups first reaction was "how do we calm him down?" Sent him back with the agricultural group after fixing their issue though because they didn't trust him to hold it together if they went up the mountain with him.

Role play potential is what you make it really. the group I'm playing in had a character's brother in with the prison escapees in book 1. The group I'm GMing had one of the players wanting to be from a space station so they ended up being from Spacedock Prime - 1 (that might have been evil of me). The interactions with the refugees rely heavily on the GM interjecting personality into them. No the books don't hold your hand and give you a script for every minor conversation but the trip from Suskillon takes minimum 3, maximum 9 days. enough time for you to build up some dialog and RP moments, maybe even make a permanent pen pall out of one of them or something if you wish. It just depends on how much a GM is willing to do some extra work besides read the text block the AP gives you. I would also heavily encourage RP moments between the players themselves. A big part of most war movies that this AP emulates is the relationship between the soldiers themselves more than relationships between the soldiers and outside world.

Also those skill checks are for background information typically, not important must have info. Typically I find a way to work the info in later on if it’s cool info like the background of the major or something I want them to know.

While Starfinder has a preponderance of nonhumanoid aliens with strange morphology, any playable alien race can purchase and use the equipment in this book. A betentacled barathu (Starfinder Alien Archive 20) soldier can wield a hydra cannon and make use of hoverskates just as easily as a kasathan soldier

this right here is the guiding principle on what you can buy, install, use etc. An Android can use lung augments just as easily as a human

I sometimes feel my raxilite could benefit from tight fit.

But honestly I don’t think “I’m large when I’m in power armor” meets the conditions... but if it’s a home game then why not :shrug:

It seems like a pretty clear with the last quote that they act as basic boosters and inhibitors, unless otherwise stated in the field of study booster/inhibitor description, the only way to combine them is with the level 3 spark of ingenuity for studious biohackers.

If you are a studious biohacker, you can expend two uses of your biohack ability to combine the effect of two basic or minor biohacks (or one of each) into a single effect. This takes no additional time and allows a creature to be under the effects of two different basic or minor booster or inhibitor biohacks simultaneously. If the two effects have different durations, each effect ends after its normal time limit, though any with a duration measured in rounds last 1 round longer than normal.

Typically GMs tend to adjust hp or number of creatures for a fluctuating number of people at the table. AP’s are designed around 4 person party. The easiest thing to do would be to bump hp, probably 10ish or less (it is a level 1-2 book) hit points for a table of 6. Adding more creatures can put a disproportionate strain on the melee/front line characters in my opinion.

Thermal regulator armor upgrade. Best 150 credits one can spend on book 1.
