Stepping out of the recruitment. Have fun, you all!

My apologies, but due to unforeseen circumstances, I will be pause the game for some good weeks. Sorry again, and hope you all have fun on your other endeavors!
Hi mates, Posting it on all my games - unfortunately I will have to take a hiatus due to some complications at work. I'll be extra busy for the next 6 to 8 weeks, and instead of limiting myself to a single post or two per week, I will instead just fully take a break from the forums and some other activities. My profound apologies to GMs and my fellow players, as well as the players from the games I host. This came today a little out of nowhere (talk about mondays) as a push for the last quarter of the year. Please, feel free to bot my characters, replace if I can be waited, whatever you see fit. I hope we get the chance to play again in the future no matter what! Always wishing you have the most fun, Lapyd

Good news then! Will you span a new topic to recruit, or do you want to recruit here? Another thing, if I may suggest, is to consider advanced bonus progression instead of regular wealth, especially at this module (loot becomes very fuzzy and weird when the ships and plunder enter into the equation). Finally - I'd recommend re-thinking or re-writing the ship combat rules. When I GM'd in person, this was the single part that didn't work well at all. I ended up writing my own system, which I'd be happy to share if it interests you.
Antas:
With the engineering fairly spread everywhere across the ship, it's not hard for Antas to run into someone from his crew as he walks through the ship. Things seem to be running smooth, this first day, and D'Tara may be really keeping everybody on her toes on the engine room. McCoy: Oh, sure, sir. Yes, the lieutenant asked me to be ready for the helm, but no need for adaptation... I expect from time to time to be on the console, as I am currently assigned as the backup in case lieutenant Cavallera needs. We worked together a little bit on the controls a couple days ago, so I'm somewhat familiar with them... But the idea to do a quick review on the holodeck was good. - she says, adjusting her hair behind her left ear with a smile.
Interested if the system is 1E :) I think the AP may work well on forums, since it has more intrigue/RP possibilities than the regular hack-n-slash ones.
McCoy:
Sure thing, sir... - she says, stepping away from the other ensign - How may I be of help? Her tag says "Sarin" - as in, Ensign Sarin. She doesn't seem nervous, or agitated; just curious as to what Joe wants. Antas: Antas and the other engineers take a very good part of the day to set up the station with everything requested, and by the time they complete, the lieutenant commander is starving. A nurse helps them test the consoles, and they seem to be working beautifully.
Welcome to the boards! Both Kingmaker and S&S are awesome and I’m sure you’ll have interest, so choose your own preference! :) if I was to pick, I’d say Kingmaker. Would love to build a “would-be-king” and help you with the sheets and kingdom management stuff.
We're fairly covered, although there are hypothetically some openings. Let's see... - We have a captain, which is an NPC (and I need to keep him as such for the time being, as it helps me conduct the storyline); - Our chief engineer is serving as first officer as well, so we could have someone fill the engineering role if we get enough applications; - We have a helmsman, but it's a NPC. He is kind of relevant on the plot (players started to understand why), but I can maneuver him around a bit if needed; - We have a comms officer, and he's doubling as operations as well. We could also leave him with simply comms and have someone else deal with operations; - We have a tactical/security officer. We could break into two positions, but I'd rather not as it would be a bit weird in a non-military vessel; - We have a doctor, but he has been a bit OOF. If he doesn't reply soon and pick up the pace, I'll have to replace him as well; - There is a counselor, but it's an NPC, and a position that I'd prefer keeping as an NPC; - We don't actually have a science officer, as some of our other officers were covering for it. Darven seems to be interested in the opening; These are the bridge officers. Of course, you all are also open to come out with other officers that are not the chief of particular areas, but serve as second in command or other important positions. As long as you make your character important enough in the ship to be involved in the discussions with the other senior officers, we're game!
@Flanderdash: Ridge helped us with the current roster! There are still many openings, we just need to get creative. Let me know if you have any other questions! @Brett/Darven: It seems you may be in the lines for building a good candidate for a science officer on the bridge. Please put together a profile and look for the details I asked on the original recruitment, and let me know!
Not a problem at all, man! Thanks for the help. You guys are all welcome to post there and help me find us some more bodies :) I mean, officers...
I created a new recruitment to see if I can attract some more officers to the ship! You guys are welcome to give you feedback if anyone decides to apply there. :)
Howdy mates! I'm hosting a Star Trek game here in the forums. It's RP-heavy; we don't actually use any particular system, relying mostly in the players creativity. We haven't rolled dice so far! The game is going well, good rhythm and active players, but we could use a couple more officers in our bridge/ship. Do you want to come on this adventure with us? Are you active enough, and willing enough to go on a mostly RP quest? Please apply here! Here's a link to my original recruitment with all the details (you can see our discussion and gameplay there too). We are not too far yet, so it's still a great chance to get in the game practically at its infancy. To boldly go... 
You already lost, Beerfiend, as our GM is Shadow Smurfox! - someone yells at the back.
Antas:
The doctor gets his subordinates to send complete specs of what's needed on the station.
McCoy:
The lieutenant has no difficulties finding her. Once Cavallera was confirmed back on duty, she received a note asking her to resume her duties in the ship, so she's now towards the cafeteria walking around in pair with another ensign. They're assigned as guards there, but are simply talking in a low tone as the place seems mostly empty.
Zeyar: It doesn't take long for Zeyar to find the holodecks, one of each being free at the moment. He quickly reserves it inpromptu, and is now ready to proceed. 
Smurfantastic!
Hi GM! Here's the lore I wrote for the psionics. I'm now working on my character, which will be an aegis as I mentioned before. Please let me know if it is to your liking, or if you'd like me to change anything on the contents below. The Chrysalis (Psionics): The Story of the Chrysalis A little after the time the Carthi Empire fell and magic shrank through the world, the first people started to manifest psionic powers. Such individuals yielded the power of the mind, but in a way that more resembled the instinctive sorcerers than the studious wizards; the psionic energy was brute, raw, and found to be present almost everywhere, but in an untapped state. Maybe due to related reasons, the shriveling of the arcane powers and the rise of the psionic coalesced, and for brief years some hoped a new time of glory would flourish. The hopes were crushed; the first few psionic individuals revealed to be unstable, untrained, and their art caused more harm than good; a schism formed, and any individual found to be psionic ended up rounded and sent to a small colony (some would say prison…) on the outskirts of Valirend called “The Chrysalis”. The Chrysalis was a rocky set of arid lands, poor to be farmed and hunted, limited on the west by the extinct volcanic chain known as “the Lava Scar”. There were fences on its border to limit the access back to Valirend, but such fences weren’t guarded or really hard to be climbed or cut down. They weren’t properly maintained, and despite the forced exile, the humans banned to the Chrysalis knew better that if they were found back on the largest cities they’d likely be purged. This didn’t prevent many of those people from fleeing to the smaller villages, but they knew the risk. The ravaged lands of the Chrysalis forged a strong and humble people, in its absolute majority human. They didn’t thrive, but survived, and slowly learned to better deal with their psionic abilities. Next generations came, many of which incapable of manifesting psionic powers, and sent by their parents for a better life in the cities. Similarly, any newborns with such powers were sent to the Chrysalis. The volcanic formations also revealed rich of crystals that could hold and boost psionic powers, and the people of the Chrysalis became renowned as stonemasons, jewelers, and crystal carvers. After a couple centuries, the rupture slowly started to vanish. Old prejudices were still there, including laws that would prevent anyone with psionic abilities from bearing weapons or serving in the military, but other than that the people of the Chrysalis started to be absorbed in the big cities for their skilled handwork. Nowadays, while such people are still treated as “sub-citizens”, they aren’t forced to live in the Chrysalis anymore, most just visiting such lands for religious purposes or to better train their psionic abilities or learn crystal carving. --------------------------------------------------------- Population all psionic, almost entirely Human. They’re known as “People of the Chrysalis”, although some call them chrysalids for short (almost as a synonym for psionics, a term that is barely ever used). The streets also use the derogatory name of “insects” for them, but slowly the society seems to be turning away from the prejudice and the use of such words. Organization the chrysalids learn the psionic arts and crystal carving from a very early age. The strongest individuals usually also become stonemasons, while the not-as-strong usually prefer the fine arts of jewelry. The “Guild of Masons” is a larger organization present in Valirend, usually employed by the larger groups to architect and construct the buildings of the big cities. Despite the name, the guild also employs chrysalid crystal carvers and jewelers. There’s also a secret outlaw society of chrysalids called “The Mantis”, formed by extremist individuals, usually involved in assassinations and political plots. Their members use masks and barely speak loudly when meeting each other, and adopt a series of signs and gestures to identify themselves in a crowd. Language The people of the Chrysalis speak common and their own dialect, chrysalid, which combines words, gestures, and psionic abilities. An individual has to be maintaining psionic focus to be able to speak the language, otherwise he would sound foreigner, inapt, almost as if “baby speaking”. Religion While many chrysalids follow the religions from Valirend, others follow a monastic legacy known as “The Crystal Path”. Followers of the crystal path are psionic individuals who practice peaceful rituals of thanking the spirits of the lands for anything provided for their survival, from the air to water and food. They believe they live surrounded by such “small ghosts” – the “shikigami”, and most learn an exclusive martial arts style inspired by such spirits that rejects the use of traditional weapons, preferring to rely in whatever object or tool is available to defend oneself. Classes Most chrysalids are psions, psychic warriors, tacticians, vitalists, and wilders, especially the ones not living in the Chrysalis anymore. Marksmen, aegis, and soulknives are not so common outside of the Chrysalis, but they can still be found; most of the “Mantis”, for instance, are soulknives. Cryptics and dreads are extremely rare, almost unheard of. It’s said some of the eldest psionic individuals in the past were able to reach even higher status and prestige classes, but none is known nowadays.
I built the character mostly for what I want to play. I always wanted to try a more extreme skill monkey, so the combination of investigator and bard felt great between things like inspiration and bardic knowledge. I realize it’s not optimized (i.e. combining full bab and low bab, saves, etc.) and that in combat my girl is mostly a buffer and supporter, but the game isn’t made of combats only. I love her potential for RP and skills, and I think it has a fun ring to be playing a bookworm of sorts in the midst of everything going on in Kenabres :) her trapfinding is just a nice bonus to help the party, especially with such a small group.
Excitedly waiting for it! And lurking here as always o.o
** spoiler omitted **... Very cool concept, Wolf!
I'm building an Aegis organization (actually, more like a psionic one)! So the character will be an aegis :) Probably Human as it makes more sense in my mind, but I haven't done anything crunch-wise yet.
I’ll have the character ready in the next few days - I’m going over the lore/background/etc., but I usually don’t take long to create sheet/mechanics after that. Thanks for the opportunity!
Do it. - says Jay, closing his eyes as the ship jumps to warp. The sensation is strange to all; despite the extreme speed of the vessel, there's no whiplash or inertia felt inside of it. The technology has long advanced beyond it. The captain finally takes his chair, crossing both hands under his chin, thoughtful. All ceremonies completed, the officers are now free to go for their business, work and studies. The next meeting with the commander is only at night, and he seems particularly entertained reading reports in his pad. The next stop is in about a couple days to get supplies and some extra personnel at another space station on their way to the Yinayan system.
Ciapha, I wouldn't worry about it at all. Not only damage isn't everything, as you're far from overoptimized in this matter for a bloodrager at level 9. Just enjoy and play whatever you want to play!
Also, may I suggest considering automatic bonus progression? There's even an alternate of it to remove magical treasure. This would probably be great on this low-magic environment.
Dotting - like I said on the interest check, I love E6 and wish we had more of those on the forums! Working on a concept as we speak. The extra " words" you mention when you talk about races and classes beyond core refers to a larger background, or an "extra session" just about it beyond the background? Both work (I like writing long backgrounds!), just double checking. Cheers!
Will keep an eye, GM.
I do enjoy E6 rules! It's usually a lot easier to balance a game by capping the level, especially because of the spellcasters. You have my attention! :)
The Captain stays up, and signs with his hand to Antas. Please announce the departure, mister Di Santos. - he's brief, then gives a step ahead as Antas follow up. Lieutenant... - he calls to Cavallera - ... Take us out to the first plotted point on the chart. A multitude of actions start happening throughout the bridge, as different officers start announcing the ship detaching, engines engaged, all decks set. Finally, the helmsman on the controls make the Inopia move, almost as smoothly as a gentle wave, in a circular motion away from the station - and then pointing away from Jupiter.
Hey team! Should I try to recruit more people? It seems some of us are having difficulties keeping up with the posts, so I'm hoping we can keep it moving healthily. Thoughts?
---=== EVERYBODY IS NOW AT THE BRIDGE ===--- The Captain stays standing in front of his chair, arms crossed behind his back, carefully analyzing each person to enter the bridge. Eventually Finn and Joe arrive as well, and he greets them with a smile, pointing their station of work. Finally, some minutes later, Cavallera arrives at the bridge too. Still before the departing time - maybe by the skin of his teeth - but he arrives with a clean face, uniform well organized and the smell of a shower. Apparently, he went to his quarters before coming to the bridge. As the captain sees him, he immediately taps his head, then start shaking it with a smile. Oh man! There goes my bet! - he tells Antas, by his side, then pointing at Cavallera - This kid is something, you know? It was at least three bottles just by himself! The helmsman approaches them laughing and clapping slowly. Oh, Captain my captain, you almost got me! But hey, I told you, no matter what, I always make it to the helm when needed. - he crosses his arms behind his back, and looks around the bridge calmly.
Fun idea! Count with my application. It’s one of the things I was suggesting on another topic - a wrath of the righteous without mythic but something else to compensate (like gestalt). I have a Paladin built for it that I’d like to bring to the table (once I think on a second class etc…)
Please scratch the ideas above! I didn’t know it wasn’t an evil module. I’ll build up and present something a lot closer in alignment to the party overall feeling. Will have something before tomorrow night. Is variant multiclass acceptable? It’s alright if not, just double checking :)
At the bridge, the captain smiles at Antas and nods. He turns his back to the front windows, arms crossed on the back. A small probe from the station passes outside, reviewing the last details. Please take a seat by my side for now, commander. - he says, signing the second in command in chair - I asked for a place to be made on the bridge for our doctor as well, so he has a medical station here. He points to a station near the communications one, and as he's doing so, Zeyar steps in the bridge. Ah, welcome, mr. Zeyar. - Jay greets the lieutenant, then turning to an ensign by the side of the helm station - Send the all stations alert that we depart in 15 minutes.
