You know I think I'm going to leave this game. It does not seem to have been thought out.

I have UMD. Not enough yet.

Lostworld Solutions seems good.

Well the ruins are going to be in the wilderness. (that's why they are called ruins) So I just want to make sure we won't get lost and starve. (well you guys starve anyway)

Alright then let's run to it then. Anyone have any survival?

Works. So should we go about this the protagonist or antagonist way?

Protagonist: race to get though first and sweat and bleed to get though all the dangers inherent.

antagonist: watch the Protagonists and wait. When the protagonist are worn out getting the thing snatch it from there tired hands.

We did agree on the backstory, but we need the DM to give us a lead. Some ruin or something that we have all heard about somehow that we think has something good in it for some reason.

"we're here time to find the lost ruins of Teno-chick-land."

We really don't have enough information for a proper conversation right now. Could you tell me about the rumor I heard that brought me here?

Yes changing to Galactic Arcanist.

That last one is really good. I'll take it.

Do you want me to build me cohort or do you want to make it yourself? Some DM's like to make it clear that they are NPC's. I would an Igor type cohort well versed in science and alchemy to aid me in my experiments.

I'll take Galactic Techie. I was made to be able to learn quickly. Wish it worked for magic too.

So it would seem we are the victim of DM disappearance syndrome. Hate it when that happens.

What is that ment to be?

So the group will be picked tomorrow.

Never mind teleportation circle does not do interplanetary.

If you are going to spend that much money why not just have a wizard cast teleportation circle?

That does bring up an interestion question. If you cast overland flight and you are in space do constantly go at a speed of 40 ft per round or do you accelerate? If you do go at a speed of 40 ft per round then what frame of reference are you using?

(If it does make something go a fix speed of 40f per round using the starting velocity and postion as a reference point I have a great idea for a missile. Most planets have hugely different velocities)

Arcana Savants need to have UMD so I'm geting that anyway. Eventually I will be able to use my caster level in place of the magic items caster level.

We could make it cheaper by just having one such thing

Spell level 4*caster level 7 * 1800(command word activated)=50400 and use it for all of us at 14 hour periods. Of course this is still fair to expensive.

Bit expensive. Far more then we could really afford.

Maybe the Ablative Barrier spell might work as a space suit.

Endure element only works for temperature up to 120 degrees F. That is not nearly enough.

That seems a long time seeing as how the party is fairly made up.

I guess I've been there awhile as well.

So when can we get started?

Seems decided.

I plan on becoming an arcane savant.

There is a very low cost type of space travel. Catapult and dift there. You just need to be patient and not need to breath.

Golarion would seem like the first choice then.

That may be the case, however in that case I have no information to go on for pick where to go. I want to go to any ruin of an advanced civilization, but that could be on any of the planets.

And yes, GP is replaced by credits officially. Much more convenient to have electronic currency rather than physical coins, because of the questions involved. Unless everyone is strongly opposed to the idea?

The problem is electronic money like credits is only any good if it's backed by something and sense their is not system spaning government or organization I fail to see how this could be the case.

It would make more sense to make jewels or energy the currency because both of those have intrinsic value because they power spells or technology therefor they should be good anywhere.

Aballo seems like a good place what with all those ruins of ancient cities, but it's hot enough there it melt lead. We would need some protection (endure elements might be enough, but I can't cast it enough time so it will have to be later)

Castrovel is survivable, but It does not seem to have any ruins or such for us to explore.

Golarion: it would be a tad borring to start here, but maybe it is the most fleshed out world

Akiton: survivable, but once again don't see anything we want there.

Verces: survivable and fairly high tech, just don't think they have any just lying around for us to pick up.

Eox: no air

Triaxus: survivable, but don't see anything we want (I wish this wiki was more complete)

Liavara and it's moons: once again almost no information to draw us there. Well there are space whales might be a good starting ship.

Bretheda and it's moons: same as Liavara, but no space whales

Apostae: Now that seems like a good place to explore. Not quite sure how we get there however. Also it seems like a higher level game.

Aucturn: not survivable and nothing to draw us there.

In general the problem is that as level one characters we lack the resources to explore any of the interesting planets. Any ideas?

So which planet shall we start out on?

Shame everyone else in the party needs to breath. That sort of limits our starting places

1) Don't know who did it Nero was not property awake back then. It is possible that Nero awakened by Nero's self (your puny Pronouns are too small for Nero). There a general tendency for intelligent creature to try and find first causes and why they came into existence and random chance is not very comforting. This is a piece of information I was sent to find out.

2)By knowing more and applying that knowledge to learn more. Last time I left Nero, Nero was building a telescope that would allow Nero to look at planets in fairly good detail from afar (I brought Nero the idea).
A)Nero never heard of it seems like an odd idea from another series
B)Not that much really
C) self improvement is important in the absolute sense not the propionate sense. So become more powerful is better than making other weaker. But the real goal is absolute and complete knowledge. We don't mind pirating knowledge.

3) Nero made other herald, but not many they are a rather big investment.
-A) I do know that but it tends not to be that important we a generally sent to different planets and don't return home that often or stay long so bumping into each other is kind of rare.
---1) I consider them all part of me and just as I am part of them. When ever we return we update Nero's knowledge and update own. We all pretty much share one mind. If I every met another herald we would both share memory in order to update each other. We are all one in Nero.
---2) Well I have been fairly successful I once brought back a tome of clear thoughts +5 this very much pleased Nero, but sense we are all one in a sense favorites does not come into it.
4) I think of Nero as part of me the larger part that I sometimes wish a could be with more often. However I know that my work make Nero even greater so I can hand tribulation.
-A) I find my work satisfying it is literally what I was made to do.
-B) Imagine that a large part of your mind went missing or was taken away form you. I suspect you would want it back.
-C) I am very practical.

I half considered building a cleric of Nero, but Androids don't make good clerics

I shall have to see about creating a holy hand gerede for attacking the bone sages. :}

Thank you very much. Reading it now.

Change Jupiter to Eox and the moon to Sentinel. I now quest to free Sentinel from the bone sages.

Does that make more sense?

I have come up with a backstory that I rather like anyone like to help me refine it?

Sadly true. When we finally do get a ship a could like one with a huge amount of computing power. I would love to link myself up with it (think of it as a headband of vast intelligence that is limited in location).

I find myself very interested in this game but I know very little about is so far. This there a book to read for the setting?

Untill we get the custom spaceship rules most speculation about how to make the ship is somewhat idle. As I see it there are a few things that we would wish to get from a ship the problem is what priorities these things have.

These things are
1.Speed or the abilities of the ship to gets us where we want to be fast
2. Safety or how safe the ship can keep us from those who would do us harm this may come in the forum of superior weapon or shields. However this might also be achieved by superior sensors combined with the aforementioned speed.
3.Lastly is load with is the ships ability to carry stuff such as cargo and living space.

I personally would be in favor of a scientific vessel with superior sensors and speed.

I would generally prefer to keep to the outskirts where there arn't all that much in the way of laws to break. That is usually the places where all the good unexploded ruins are.

Space Mercenaries (love this webcomic) , adventuring archaeologists. I personally want to find the codex of infinite planes. Actually I would like to find any of the knowledge based artifacts.

Examples.
Codex of the Infinite Planes, ‪Anathema Archive‬, ‪Book of Infinite Spells‬, ‪Book Of the Damned‬, Revelation Quill, ‪Sihedron Tome‬, Book of Eternal Necromancy.

So I kind of like adventuring archeologists.

It would be nice if we could make it a little bigger on the inside. Would anyone object to me tying my backstory to the ship that I was constructed with it and that we are linked together?

There is no reason that I can see not to take advantage of both technologies if they are both present in the campaign world.

I would prefer a thin fast ship. Small enough to be able to fit though the star gates mentioned before.

Well the plan is to use me as the AI. I have be a courtisan before (breath of experience pretty much says you have done everything).

Changed my name.

Same skill set

You have my vote as well provided that you have the skills to for-fill The Captain's most important function which is to act as an interface with the outside world.

(in other worlds the captain should also be the face)

I take by your name of Captain Moonscar that you want to be the captain of this ship?

Still interested. I tend to do 5 or so posts a day.
