Welcome, feel free to dot in. Introduction post will go up once I have the scenario

Scarab Sages

Hi.

Let's quickly finish the game so we are ready for Outpost III.

Scarab Sages

Hi. Campaign title says it all.

I thought I'd have 3-5 more days to finish..but you know what they say about assumptions.....

Scarab Sages

Hi,

Let's quickly wrap up the game so we are done for Outpost III

Scarab Sages

Welcome,

If the link on the sign-in sheet for Outpost III told you to go here; you've come to the right location.

Since this has the starship tag it might be useful if you figure out which role(s) you want your characters to fill during space combat.
You get an assigned ship so you don't have to/can't pick between the Drake of the Pegasus
and
No boon slots, except for personal boons, are available for this scenario (so also no bringing another starship option if you happen to have a boon for it)

Scarab Sages

You are waiting along with some other Starfinder Society members in a small office somewhere in the Lorespire complex looking at a screen with a small turning circle indicating that it's loading a message for you.

By the speed of the turning circle you assume it's going to be a while and you can't help but glance around the room. Other then the bare walls the floor and the screen there's not much to look at and your eyes keep wandering to the other agents in the room.

Feel free to introduce yourselves in game while we wait for the Gameday to kick off

Scarab Sages

Hi, Welcome all.

If this is where the spreadsheet from Outpost III told you to go you came to the correct location.

Scarab Sages

Hi,welcome. Please dot in so that the game shows up in your games.

Since this is part of Outpost III we'll start the game when we get the go ahead from higher up

Scarab Sages

Welcome.

First some general information about the quests;

It's for level 1 characters only

A player who plays through one or more of the quests receives a Chronicle sheet for Into the Unknown, noting which specific quests he played. He can later play the rest of the quests in the series, earning greater rewards (see the Variable Rewards boon on the Chronicle sheet at the end of this series). If the player created his own 1st-level character, he applies the Chronicle sheet to that character. If he instead used one of the 1st-level Starfinder Society regenerated characters, he can apply the Chronicle sheet to a 1st-level Starfinder Society character. If that character gains XP from another Chronicle sheet, he can no longer earn additional rewards for that character for playing the other Into the Unknown quests.
Into the Unknown can be replayed for credit, but the credit must be applied to a different 1st-level character each time.

No boon slots are available for Into the Unknown (I still think race boons are allowed, but the scenario itself doesn't mention it) - you can still earn fame/influence for a faction of your choosing though.

I'm running this so people have a chance to try the new options from the Characters Operation Manual (but you don't have to use anything from there if you don't want to) and since this features 2 space ship combats I thought it would also be a good way to see how the new spaceship roles (could) effect space combat in SFS

Also please fill in slide 4. It's a good check to see if I gave everyone access to the slides and you'll be able to see and edit the maps later.

Scarab Sages

You received a hasty summons to the Lorespire complex on Absolom station from Venture-Captain Arvin. As you get nearer to your destination - a meeting room somewhere in the back of the complex - you notice more and more of your fellow Starfinders joining you.

As you arrive you find the door to the meeting room closed, so you wait outside until you are summoned inside for the briefing on your next assignment and get to know your - what you can only assume will be your - party members for the mission a bit.

Welcome to Fugitive on the Red Planet

Theft cannot be tolerated, especially when the culprit is a former Starfinder! The PCs travel to the red world of Akiton, hot on the heels of a deserting Starfinder who stole a magical relic from the vaults of the Lorespire Complex. Things get complicated when they discover what should be a dreary town in Akiton's wastelands is now positively jubilant. Could this revelry, not to mention the re-opening of town's formerly defunct mining operations, be related to the wayward Starfinder?

You are summoned to Absalom Station at the Lorespire Complex by Venture-Captain Arvin where you arrive in front of a closed meeting room door as you wait for your meeting to start.

As you wait other Starfinders show up for the same meeting.

This is part of Outpost II

A Starfinder Society Scenario designed for levels 1–4.

Eox's Blackmoon region contains countless forgotten Eoxian ruins, leftovers from an apocalyptic assault on the planet. Few are allowed to dig up these sites, yet the Starfinder Society and undead bone sages maintain a joint academic venture known as the Blackmoon Excavation. When Starfinder archaeologists and undead workers begin disappearing from the site the Society sends in a team of agents to uncover why—a secret that resides in the nearby ruins!

A Starfinder Society Scenario designed for levels 1-4.

A Starfinder expedition's dusty data from an orbital scan shows signs of active technology on a distant, war-ravaged planet. Following up on this old lead, the Society dispatches a team of Starfinder to investigate the far-off world. Between making first contact and exploring the ruins of a dead civilization, long-buried secrets of the past are ripe for discovery.

Content in Yesteryear's Truth also contributes to the ongoing goals of the Wayfinders faction.

At 10th level, you gain another daily use of this ability, and the radius of the effect increases to 20 feet. Additionally, you can raise or lower the gravity, radiation, wind, or cold or heat dangers in the area by one step (for instance, from very hot conditions to normal temperature, from medium radiation to severe radiation, or from extreme gravity to high gravity; see Environmental Rules on pages 400–404 of the Core Rulebook for details).

At 19th level, you gain another daily use of this ability. Additionally, you can raise or lower the gravity, radiation, wind, and cold or heat dangers in the area by one step each.

Unless I'm reading this wrong both the 10th and 19th level version give you the same thing? Should the level 10 not have the ability..or does the lvl 19 give you another step so change it up to 2 steps?

Also I'd like to add that I like the overall idea of this power. Both flavor and game mechanics wise.

A Starfinder Society Scenario designed for levels 1-4.

When a major Pact Worlds organization approaches the Starfinder Society about investigating an abandoned outpost in Near Space, the PCs get assigned to the case. Travelling to a distant world, surmounting dangerous threats in the void of space, and meeting new alien cultures—this mission is about everything the Starfinder Society embodies.

Ashes of Discovery is a replayable scenario designed to help introduce players to what it's like to be a member of the Starfinder Society. With randomized mechanical and story elements, when you play this scenario, you'll never play the same scenario twice.

A Starfinder Society Scenario designed for levels 1-4.

A missing Starfinder ship's distress signal would have gone unnoticed were it not for a passerby detecting it and selling the information to the Society. The PCs are to travel to the crippled starship, and once aboard, reach the bridge in order to piece together the tragic story of the vessel's lost crew. Only by unraveling the mysteries of the drifting starship can the PCs hope to uncover information critical to the Exo-Guardians future operations.

Content in Cries From the Drift also contributes to the ongoing goals of the Exo-Guardians faction.

Title:
Starfinder Society: Quest Pack #1:Into the Unknown
Short Description:
The Starfinder Society needs a team to investigate a distress beacon. Explore the future of science fantasy with five quests featuring urban brawls, frontier gunfights, starship combat, and more!

Long Description:
A series of six Starfinder Quests designed for 1st-level characters. When a mysterious visitor comes to Absalom Station selling items belonging to a lost Starfinder, the Starfinder Society takes note. The PCs are dispatched to discover out how the recent arrival found these items, leading them on a series of quests beyond the Pact Worlds and into the stars. “Into the Unknown” includes five, 1-hour adventures that take the PCs from exploring Absalom Station, to partaking in starship combat, to exploring an alien world. The fifth adventure in the series provides a stunning conclusion that takes the PC’s previous accomplishments into account for a climactic final showdown against an enemy starship.

I'm starting this a bit later then the start of the Gameday to get the initial rush out of the way and because I have very little knowledge about Starfinder in general at this time and might need a bit of extra time to read up on things.

Before receiving the blessing of Guidance, the PCs must meet with and assist critical missions on behalf of key leaders of the Society's leading factions.

K, om de een of andere vage reden kon ik niks posten in de gametab van de vorige campaign en kreeg ik het ook niet opgelost....dus ik ben maar een nieuwe begonnen. Als deze ook niet werkt geef ik het op.

It is cold and dark outside as the wind blows through the trees causing what little left over dry leafs that are stubbornly sticking to the branches are starting to drift down to the wet, muddy ground below the tree trunks.

You read through the letter you received once more; the famous Professor Von Richten, the expert on creatures of the night and how to vanguish them has passed away and you have been invited to the reading of his will.

For those new to pbp (or at least new to pbp with me as GM)

I will generally post once a day (more if I have time) if you haven't posted in roughly a 24 hour period I will skip your turn/NPC you in so we keep the pace of the game going.

I will roll initiative for everyone (and sometimes some other dice rolls on a case by case basis, like perception to determine surprise)

Since it is possible for you to delay until some other player has done something I'm fine with you taking turns in the order in which you post. If you don't want to do something until something else happens mention in in your post and we'll fit it in when it happens. If you ready an attack (or expect an attack of opportunity to happen, please roll your own dice for to hit and damage already..they might get used, but if it does come up we don't have to wait for you to respond..or I don't have to roll for it..which means you can't blame me when you miss ;)

For example a turn might go something like this

init
Player A, B
enemy 1
Player c
enemy 2

Damage enemy 1; X, blinded

Bold is up
Player A wants to have flanking, so he delays
A will move next to enemy 1 as soon as he flanking and stick his dagger into 1's back [dice=To hit 1] [dice=damage vs 1]
Player B will do something (like cast a spell)
Enemy 1 will do something
Player C will then move up to an enemy and attack it..after which Player A's turn triggers
I'll take enemy's 2 turn

If something messes up the flow (like enemy 1 knocking player A down) we'll just have to flexible and adjust..I'll try to use my best guess if you haven't altered your own action by the time I post again.

I'll use googledoc maps for combat, you can move your own character around, but please be careful to not move the map itself since it will mess stuff up.

I will sometimes use spoiler blocks with a listed skill and DC, if you make the DC you are free to look at the spoiler and act on the information provided.
This will most of the time include (but not be limited to): (Monster) knowledge checks [If I didn't provide one, you can still roll for knowledge checks..I might just forgot about it or only had time for a quick update]
Some hidden stuff needing perception checks to be found, you can still search for stuff when you feel like it it, but for example looting a room after combat it helps speed things up.

Like this:

Spoilery stuff goes here

The story of the goblin heroes Reta, Poog, Mogmurch, and Chuffy continues!

Scarab Sages

Hi all,

This will be part of the Play by Post Game day V (For more information click here and therefor won't start till the 27th of August.

This will be played as CORE

This is meant for 4 pre-gen Characters of lvl 4 and credit can be assigned to a PFS legal character of lvl 3, 4 or 5 (or to a newly created lvl 1 character with reduced gp rewards)

Pregen goblins can be found Here

I'll take the first 4 people with legal PFS numbers who can work out which of the pregens they as a group will play.

There is a slight benefit to pick the same character you've played either We Be Goblins and/or We Be Goblins Too with and you will most likely enjoy the story more if you've played either/both of them and know the pregen goblins and what they've been up to already, but this is not required.

Conditions and Death:

In Pathfinder Society, a player who plays a pregenerated
character that dies must still resolve the death and
recovery when applying the Chronicle sheet. This is also
the case for We Be Goblins Free!; however, part of the fun of
an all-goblin module is the opportunity to perform zany
feats, even if they lead to the goblin’s death. To reflect
the spirit of the module, at the end of the adventure, any
dead pregenerated goblin characters may recover from
death completely for only 5 Prestige Points; this includes
both the cost of raise dead and the cost of removing the
permanent negative levels and any other conditions

Expected posting rate will be once a day (more is better, but I most likely won't make more then 1 or 2 posts myself)
