@GM -- Ferrox's only notable boon is an amateur Diplomat hireling who helps him with bluff, diplomacy, and intimidation.

For purposes of this scenario, perhaps we could treat the hireling as a media coach to improve his time in the booth?

Wayfinders

All good, Idir. Life happens.

Kyzin leveled up with some new armor and a new evolutionist ability (resistant form -- spend 1 MP to gain resist 3 for electricity, fire, or sonic). He still sucks at all things technical, but he'll happy beat things into submission.

Wayfinders

Ferrox will absolutely give a go at the booth. He'll probably be uncomfortable, too honest, and will possibly make a fool of himself, but hopefully the audience will love him for his adorable innocence.

OMG -- did you add Major Matt Mason on your own or was it written into the module???

Forgive me while I show my age here.

Major Matt Mason was a Mattel action figure line of astronauts from the late 1960s *cough* when I was 8 years old *cough*. My parents bought me SO MUCH of that stuff... several action figures, the moon base, a rover, flight sled, exploration suit, and the massive laser cannon.

For a deep dive, check out this YouTube video.

It totally makes my night!!

Wayfinders

Thanks for the squee!! You made my whole night. :D

Three-5 looks good. That 'networked android' option is fascinating. Seems like you can get into a lot of fun trouble with that!

Did they (forgot to look at pronouns) work at the mine? If they're an infosphere junkie, they probably know Lllyfr...

Wayfinders

Hi, all!

I posted details in the new game thread about Llyfr (LEE-fur), the ysoki bartender mystic (Akashic connection) who runs the local bar/restaurant/clinic called Hollow's Chance.

As I said in that post, I'm happy to build some backstory connections with other characters. Goodness knows they've (probably) all been through a lot together!

Have a good weekend. Stay warm and safe!

Hi, all! I'm part of the 'old crew' from our previous campaign. I've been playing and GMing SF2e since it came out (and building my PF2e knowledge along the way because I've been out of fantasy for a hot minute).

Here's where I am with my character concept for GM Q's new campaign. I think she's done, but there's always a chance for some last minute tweaks. I welcome any feedback and backstory connections to other characters!!

@GM Q -- Are we starting at 1st level or going a little higher?

Llyfr (LEE-fur)
Ysoki Bartender Mystic (Akashic connection)
Hephaistos sheet link
Picture of Llyfr working in her makeshift research lab inside Hollow's Chance (hat tip to Google's Nano Banana for the image generation, despite the fact that it can't spell "Starfinder")

Llyfr's name comes from the local word for books. She loved learning since she was little, devouring any knowledge she could find. Her friends teased her about it, calling her "link rat" because she lived in the library and on the infosphere.

She ran the mine's research service and in-house clinic for many years. When the company shut down her department, she moved into Gearwhisker's, a defunct bar and restaurant in town. She renamed the place Hollow's Chance and added a backroom treatment area plus some infosphere terminals for fun and research.

Most in the settlement call her Nista-Llyfr now (literally "book mother") to honor her knowledge and willingness to help everyone.

Llyfr looks after the townsfolk and heals their hurts, expands their understanding, and makes their pain go away through conversation, teaching, spells, medicine, hearty meals, or stiff drinks.

There's an old rumor that when a night raider threatened a family she worked with, Llyfr went full-bore crazed mama on the guy and practically ripped him apart with her teeth. If people ask her about it, she chuckles and waves away the question as the "over-stimulated imagination of some scared kids," but there's always a funny glint in her eye when she says it.

Wayfinders

Yeah, about that... I canceled. :(

The convention is in Louisville, which is slated to get 12-15" of snow between Friday and Monday, plus the possibility of 1/4" of ice.

So I'm staying home and "mowing" my driveway (snowblowing), which is supposed to get 10" of snow over the weekend.

Is there anybody out there?

Wayfinders

I'll spin Kyzin up to level 4 and get to posting!

I'm prepping for a regional convention this weekend -- my second time running PFS2 games, but I'm getting the hang of it.

I've been out of fantasy RPGs for a long time. PFS2 feels strange and familiar all at once, which is kinda freaky. :)

Wayfinders

Oh yeah... ysoki all the way!

Time to dig into my character idea box and see what Grandmother Rat has for me. :D

Wayfinders

Still here and happily in for this!

Wayfinders

Ferrox has (finaly) entered the building. :D

Wayfinders

Hey all... I'm still here, just got swept away by the start of the semester and a massive report that was due Friday.

I'll catch up tomorrow (Monday).

Wayfinders

I'd like to bring my L2 husk ghibrani soldier.

If we're long on front line combat, I also have a L2 gnome mechanic available.

Wayfinders

I'll figure out my character selection sometime today.

This is a replay for me, so major decisions will go to whoever's new. :)

Wayfinders

The same back to you and the whole crew!! Here's to a great 2026!!

Starting a game of Live Exploration Extreme! on Jan 10th-ish, if I can get enough players. I have one confirmed player and another very likely, so I'm holding seats for them, but anyone is welcome.

Are you still looking for players? I'd love to join for a replay. That module is a blast. Let me know!

Wayfinders

All the plans sound good to me. I'm game!

Wayfinders

I'd like closure too, but I don't know if my brain can handle many more conspiracies....

Wayfinders

I'm glad I checked our game today! :D

Welcome back, GM Q! I'm glad life is settling down a bit in your world.

I lean toward turning attention to 2e and doing something more episodic.

I like a good mystery, but the depth of the endless conspiracies in this has my head spinning.

Wayfinders

It's a plan, Thom.

A very happy season of all the holidays you celebrate to one and all!!

Here's hoping the discussion board update goes well!

Wayfinders

Yes, Kyzin will take a 10 minute rest to top off SP. Thanks!

Sorry... I was out waxing my dog.

He's real shiny now, so I'll dive back into the game.

I'll flesh out Stees' character information over the weekend. Apologies about overlooking it until now! I added a Hephaistos link so you can pick up everything.

Wayfinders

Figured it out. :)

Gen Con was a blast -- and also filled with surprises. Among them, I received a campaign coin!! Talk about a total shock.

A friend shot some video of the presentation. I look like I'm saying "whuttttt?" the whole time I walked from the back of the ballroom to the front so I could shake Alex's hand.

Honestly, I'm still in a bit of disbelief even though I'm sitting here staring at my coin.

So yeah, Gen Con went well! hehehehehehe

I'm looking forward to diving back into our team's story even though Lilly (and I) don't know what to make of it all...
