I'm waiting for a medical emergency Sani says with an eye-roll after Laurel hurts himself again. Sani turns to Fengsai: The health impairments from the bug stings should be gone now, but you might still experience an itch. I can recommend a protective device? Sani keeps at the ready for whatever is going to cause medical emergencies next.
I'm really enjoying the game. I have to apologise for my lack of response lately - I've started a new project at work, which requires a lot of time and energy, leaving less over for contributing to the game (also the reason I'm not running anything at the moment).
The number is different - for castamir it is 4605132.
That’s a compound fracture, I can see that without an x-ray
This year’s event code is 4605132. I’ll add you as a reporter. Anyone else who wants to be added?
Hey! is Sani's reaction to getting bitten by the weevil, and surely hopes his shots include whatever disease this thing is carrying
Reflexively, he steps back, preferring to operate out of mandible reach. When Jazz performs and impromptu dissection, he stands down. When Fengsai collapses, he says Alright, let's take this slow. How many fingers am I holding up? he says, holding up three fingers in a paw. The fingers are admittedly a bit hard to distinguish on an Ysoki. Eye reflexes are fine. Knee reflexes... I'm not going to test, nothing good has ever come of an Ysoki testing a Pathtra's reflexes. He concentrates for a moment, and lets out a burst of healing that doesn't even seem to be targeted directly at Fengsai
There. Try not to get attacked so much, ok?
Hey! Look at this! Some really loud Strawberry Machine Cake starts playing. Paizo is doing a big update, starting today! A lot of new announcements will come over the next week, so expect them fondly!

Sani has racked up quite the appetite from all this kitchen-equipment surgery, and goes to check out the communal meal. Protein mush? he asks expectantly.
Hey, if it's good enough for steak, it's good enough for surgery. Sani's methods may be questionable, but he does a great job of taking the optionality out of 'get surgery or die', as any good battlefield medic should. Do you think they have a bathroom in the bodega?
Sani is levelled up - I'll update the stats later. Thanks a lot for waiting!
George manages to create a makeshift support, that stabilizes the room enough to be able to evacuate Pri-Pri. Let's get him to the sub Hinevera says, and once arriving there, the group can finally catch their breath. I will take us back to the lodge Hinevera says thank you for your help in rescueing us Oh, and take a while to look around! I can begin to imagine the possibilities here! Other planets to call home for the Morlamaws, sign of Ibran worship! Quite a discovery we made here!
Oh, I've never actually seen myself from the inside. Fascinating... It didn't hurt at first, but now it really does! Fortunately for Sani, adrenaline rush is also a thing for Ysoki, so the doctor just opt to do a remote surgery on the last disciple
Hey Jazz, you know that things eats electricity for breakfast, right? Sani says, being quite literal. Sani unloads on the electrovore, but with cold, cold zaps and low, low accuracy.
Hello Everybody, this is AbadarCorp Entertainment! In case you were following other news today, or if your usual newsfeed has been cut off some reason, there is some exciting new information about Starfinder Second Edition listed in this blog post!. ()
Sani spends most of his time inspecting Julzakama, rather than listening to him, and departs with a You should get that mole checked
Some ship towed in from the Azlanti empire? I'm guessing it's just full of Aqua purum and sedimentis ad solutionam. And vetus quisquiliarum Sani is just showing off some of the Azlanti he learned in med school. He has a look around the bar to see if any of the patrons
I apologize, I've been ill. Do you want an IV?
Oh, look at the strength of those bones Sani remarks when he sees Fengsai that's what a career of microfractures does to you, you get extra-strong bones. Makes you a little harder to move as well. Wow. Did he just call Fengsai fat?
The sermon draws to a close, and Hinevera is quick to invite the group Now that you have seem our customs, why don't you join us for dinner? We always have a communal dinner after these sermons, and we'd be delighted if you joined. The food is great is you happen to be an aquatic creature (). Oshessa meanwhile retreats back through the airlock that Gold-Flecked failed to open, though the other Morlamaws remain. A few moments later, Teltham arrives from the same door, and takes the lead in providing a blessing for the food From the depths of the ocean the servants of midnight share in this wonderful nourishment, and consume it in awe of thee DC 20 Mysticism:
'Servants of midnight' isn't exactly a reference to Desna, is it? The phrase is more commonly encountered as referring to priests of Zon-Kuthon.

The pleasure of having you at the table was all mine, and I echo Twila's sentiment (and please check your private messages). So as Jekcedo's patrolling days are over, I've invited qstor to join our session, so please bear with me as he settles in.
Could the following players please put on their diving equipment and do a buddy check? Once you're ready you can head over here for our underwater double feature! ---
You want more surveys, you say? Well, we have just the thing for you! Castamir station is always looking for more GMs to guide our starfinders on missions. We want to keep our online lodge healthy and growing, and GM are the key to that! We'd like to know what people consider to be the barriers to GM entry so that the VO team can help where needed. That's why we're conducting our special GM interest survey.

Radat nods at Jekcedo, and it's not clear whether he truly recognises Jekcedo, or if he is just planning his next prank. Either way, both himself and Wazasha egg on the Starfinders as they make their introduction. ...and cut! Wonderful, wonderful, such great stage personalities Wazasha says, clearly assuming this all for show, We for sure have enough material to go with here! The whole recording is edited up into bytesize sequences, quite soon providing a first glance of a trailer with snappy quotes and still-frame name-badges --- In a city with an auspicious name... the trailer starts with a dark voice-over, We go way back, and take turns keeping each other alive it sounds over a still of Twila with a stylised 'the Incarnation', cutting to a court-room shot and a voice-over ... an elite team gather to represent the Pact World's show host! before jump-cutting to a still of Riprock looking supremely annoyed spilling a drink ...'ard man on defense... it sounds as the title 'the Sweeper' appears. The traile then cuts to a sound clip and a brief frame showing 'the Professor' together with Naughti Whiska's Cheesy D The Ztarfinderz are here to help This team gathers to help Zo! in the most epic of court room battles... Kadef is shown Now we will help him with words and argument Kadef and a nametag 'the Diplomat'. Elwin's tag shows 'the Magician' over Zero-gravity Elwin footage while sounding If he needs assistance, we’ll be there to help. Coming to you on wireless broadcast! the trailer concludes, before showing a picture of Jekcedo 'the Bomber' I had a good reason to drop a grenade on myself --- Great. Now, let's get to the monster selection box! There's a black cardboard box with a hole in the top. I need a volunteer to feel inside the box and grab the creature inside. This will decide which creature you will face in trial by combat! Contestants! Reveal!
Castamir Station is named for a city in Golarion, and I wanted to continue that trend. I just picked a Golarion city that appealed to me, and checked with the rest of the team to make sure they liked it too. The team decided against 'Zoo station' for copyright reasons, and the name 'Augustana' narrowly won out to 'Station McStationFace'
The subconscious in the biological form amounts to incomplete processing of information. What in animals is referred to as instinct is nothing more than flawed data capture, information put aside to accomodate the limiting processing capabilities of the soft meat. Only the most honed of minds are able to process all inputs with infallibility, correctly separating the important from the trivial, the consequential from the mundane. RZMR orates, with giving much hint that the processing capabilities of his mind are any better than Jekcedo's. His announcement voice then adds Wait until the red light stops flashing, another train may be passing from the opposite direction. RZMR then engages his processing capabilities
Gm, i knee attacked blue. I'm not entirely sure what you mean. If you mean your targetting in the last round, I interpreted 'wannabe god' as Zahenni.
Wait How big of a zone this spell is to affect everyone? The ability affects the entire battle map... quite powerful indeed, but this is Zahenni we're talking about.
OK catches Zahenni by surprise, and lands a first solar flare, though their second attempt doesn't get very far. Omni slowly shuffles forward ---
Chryssi hangs onto her consciousness by sheer grit, while OK blasts another airburst, and the elf goes down. Or at least it looks like she does. Time stops. There’s no motion, no breath, no sound—only the stillness of a frozen moment. For a moment Evethriel just hangs there, mid-drop. The world gives a great lurch, and suddenly everything’s in motion—Evethriel is a streak of color, retracing her steps in reverse, rewound through time to undo a mistake and ensure the Order of Dawning Fate’s desired future comes to fruition. Suddenly, this backward momentum stutters erratically, glitching in and out of sync with reality as time comes undone. All of this, every little thing, you've seen before. So, the faithful dogs of the First Seeker have arrived. I was a Starfinder once too, you know, before I realized how petty and short-sighted your organization is. You’ve chosen your master poorly. I admit, my heart rejoices that this confrontation has come to pass. I’ve long yearned to carve my vengeance from the flesh of Starfinders. For the death of my sibling, and for the sake of the Order, your lives end here. You cannot sever the strands of fate.” The battle replays, but every action is slightly different, altogether more favourable to the Starfinder. It's clear that some mystical interaction was supposed to favor Evethriel, but that the fading effect of the finitrium engines messes everything up. No panic this time, but a perfectly coordinated group ready to take down the sentinel and the elf, in a series of perfect attacks alternated with near hilarious misses from the elf. Inevitably, the elf is defeated for the second time. “Impossible…” Evethriel gasps in shock. “What… have you done…? It all comes… undone…”
--- The starfinders find themselves at a pivot point of time, moving over multiple different threads of time, reflecting differet possibilities simultaneously. You were stuck in a time loop for a moment. There was a rewind of time, to give Evethriel a second chance, but something definitely backfired here.
On the back of the room, a door has appeared, only soft and semi-tangible, which according to the layout is the door to the core.
This is a special message from Abadarcorp Entertainment. Recent rumors have suggested that Abadarcorp Entertainmentis offering secret trips to the Azlanti Empire. Abadarcorp Entertainment wishes to stress these rumours are baseless, and that legal action will be undertaken against anyone shown to be spreading false rumours.
Abadarcorp entertainment is NOT offering a trip to Azlanti space, and even if it were, the following players would not be part of it: ---
Also, Abadarcorp Entertainment denies having two spots free. Moreover, even if spots were free, they could not be claimed by signing up here and going directly to the gameplay thread.
Edit: I don't know if Paizo is buggy for me, but this game is reported as 6-16 Dawning Fate and not 6-13 The Beginning of the End. Definitely not Paizo being buggy. Your GM being buggy, that's another question. It's fixed now.
Are you still planning on running it? Yes! I'm a bit behind on admin, but I hope to start this once I've managed to wrap up my next tables (which should end in the next day or so)
Tricks seems particularly interested in what Luanna has to share, even if most of it is fairly boring by goblin standards. The goblins snigger a bit when Anock tries a cartwheel, but do take Mizzrym's writing tips to heart. Zigvigix agrees to a meeting, even in a somewhat festive setting. Glorgo, who looks to have had some elaborate fashion advice from Sheena, takes the word “On behalf of me, Sheena, Tricks, and all them other gobbos what have the honor of living in your basement, we all wanted to present this song to you. For us, this symbolizes that we are your bestest of friends and your biggest fans, for like ever, or at least for 3 months even. We just think the Starfinders are the coolest, most awesome space heroes out there, and if we can ever do somethin’ to help out, you just let us know. I promised I wouldn’t cry, but here goes the tears. This is our specialest song, from us to you!" Zigvigix, for his part, looks overjoyed Oh my, space goblins! he exclaims Where have you been living all this time? Is there anything we can do to make your living conditions better? There is a brief party. Naiaj, along with a few dignitaries, drop by to pay a visit [b]Ah, I see that proog is still following you. Take good care of it the gnome says. Food is served by chef Esa Murat Khal, who is serving up the dish that the group so nicely salvaged. Palivhar Chooser of Hues is also there, still recovering from his scary encounter with the animatronics. That was they say truly the most eh... interactive exhibit I’ve ever seen. The halfling Senndi and a group of other Starfinder initiates also join the party, with boisterous talk on how they got nearly wiped by that googurt gift. Radaszam looks a bit... disgruntled “I thought I told you to find the pranksters responsible for all the trouble we’ve had recently, not befriend a bunch of goblin stowaways living in the walls! What are we supposed to do with them now?”
This game has been absolutely hilarious so far
Bigrin has a really good guide (link) on how to do this successfully
Wow, we are getting close, I will do what I can, how to mask off please, place a blank rectangular above? That's how I usually do it, yes.
For expedience, can you just note your purchases in your next post? Dr. A-Prof purchase is noted!
Momo's hair is pulled toward the gravity inducing monster, but her will focuses on the collapsing star of Aurinkar. She steps up closely and sing to him the song that she wrote for her lost mother.

It's an abridged version of recruitment fourthday! With Outpost just around the corner, we've got
Can't wait that long?
Navasi again focuses her fire on the what she perceives to be the most imminent threat Just take 'em down one by one, you'll scare off the rest that way!
I’m travelling and probably can’t post until tomorrow. Feel free to bot me if that takes too long
One of the things I like to keep in mind is that the audience, settings and expectation of people may vary a lot. I like to compare it to what happens when I play board games with different groups of people. I used to play a lot of Risk with my friends, and we had an unspoken understanding of what we wanted to do there: everybody played for the win, according to the rules, with a lot of negiotiating going on, and absolutely no softballing. The dynamic changes when you mix up the group: with inexperienced players you'd want to tone down the take-no-prisoners style a bit, and if you find certain players don't enjoy competitiveness or losing, you'd play a different game altogether (I've enjoyed cooperative boardgames a lot, lately). As soon as you sit down to play a(ny) game, you enter into a social contract - everybody at the table is ultimately there to enjoy themselves, but what that means may be different for everybody. The contract requires everyone to compromise a bit to find a middle ground, and that may be easier to find the more familiar you are with eachother, and the smaller the group is. Barry's example is a really nice showing of a group of people that started a bit further away from eachother, with different interests and priorities, but with people definitely showing the willingness to compromise. For Society play, the group is really big: instead of a group of (about) seven players, we now have a campaign with thousands of players all over the world, and we want to be able to freely change up characters between sessions. Ultimately the rules are set from above as a kind of ruleset you can subscribe, which works for a lot of people. By design, Society play works quite differently from a more free-form campaign, an I'm sure my 16-old-year self would have frowned on the way I run campaigns now (but then again, those 16-yo campaigns never went anywhere, and my homebrew stories were bad). He probably would have understood that this is a cool way to play with a lot of different people around the world, quite consistently, and with interesting stories. You sacrifice some flexibility, but you get a lot in return! Even in the constraints of Society, there's a lot of variation in play style and people's preferences. Some people prefer very gritty scenarios, others the bubblier ones, I see people that really go for developing their characters, people that want to banter with other characters a lot, people that are less comfortable in writing out dialogue and prefer to describe what their characters say rather than putting it down literally, people that really go for the mechanics, optimizing their character along the way, and people that just build whatever character fits their flavor. I can accept all of those, as long as you're contributing to the fun of the group and keeping with the social contract. |
