Got a question for those that have run this.

On Page 21, in the "Entertaining at the Event" section, it says "any player character can attempt a DC 17 Performance check; every other player character can aid this check with a single DC 10 check of their own, using Diplomacy or Bluff to hype the audience, Computers or Engineering to augment the sound and visual effects, or other skills you think appropriate."

Since there is no such thing as a Performance Check in Starfinder, I used Profession where applicable, but curious what others use if there are no characters with a Profession that makes sense.

Minor quibble, but Drift Crisis Case Files should be a Starfinder Adventure, not Adventure Path

Matt --

What forum are you playing on? I would love to read your APs as they progress!

Hmm

(I really need to stop by the forums more often)

I am playing on Discord on the Find the Path server.

There's a great group of people over there

I don't spend a ton of time on the forums, but I am loving this AP so I thought I would add a few thoughts.

I'm running three Play by Post tables of this currently.

Here are some things I have done.

Before we started, I showed the players a list of other characters in the charter while they were building their characters (not the actual list from the AP as there are spoilers there) so they could choose to create characters with possible relationships to the NPCs.

One example is I have a player playing an older Nuar that has known the Hardhoofs for years. Another table, a player wanted to play a Drow noble that has fallen from grace on Apoostae and is using this expedition as a chance to restore their reputation. He asked to have the Engellos sisters be a family in service to his house, which has caused all sorts of fun as the first book plays out.

Read ahead as much as possible and pick up on character traits or possible hooks from later in the AP to bring the charter characters to life. Play up the Hardhoof bickering from the outset, mention Ta-Yeta's sweet tooth etc.

On a table that chose to share the information on the Stone Needle with Plaustov, in the spirit of open sharing of information, Oskanna called to mention the anomaly within their territory they intend to explore once they get through their first winter. This is table setting for Book 3 once we get there, but has been mentioned very early on so it will feel more organic than Threl showing back up out of the blue.

Good luck with this, it is a very fun AP

To late as I already into'ed HER, LOL Not a big deal and mistakes like these are a non issue for me, does she/he have a new picture somewhere in there by chance?

Thanks for the heads up regardless bud

Tom

There is art and she has a nice bushy mustache and a beard.

Agreed it is a complete non-issue, but just letting people be aware in case they want to use the art with the character

I noticed something about the character Threl Rustos when reading Book 3

I was just about to introduce the character for the first time when I read this and have adjusted accordingly and thought I would let other GMs know about this change

Am I reading correctly that if I want to start a new AP subscription with Horizons of the Vast, I will need to also get Part 6 of Fly Free or Die?
