Starship Captain Yesterday's page

So most threads are about a particular game and peter out after a few or a dozen posts, including my own.

So I thought it would be nice if there was a spot where you can talk about games in general, what are you currently playing? What's your favorite game you played last year? What game are you excited for? Does your cat sleep on the keyboard? All relevant.

I personally have been playing Assassins Creed Valhalla (for the a viking) and have been getting back into Expedition 33 since they added the free expansion, which is pretty out there, even for Expedition 33 standards.

I apologize for the slightly click baity title, I am a big fan of Gabe.

Anyway, just wondering what happened to the Burning Archipelago and the sun in Starfinder 2 I noticed it hasn't been mentioned at all in any book.

Just curious.

First off, I'm playing as Tammerine (pre-lich Tammy) a strongheart halfling archery ranger with animal focus. My go to familiar is the cat or spider, my go to animal companion is the wolf or bear (or giant raven).

Feel free to share your own life lessons, I'm currently in part 1.

1) being evil is super easy, barely an inconvenience. But it also means Karlach and I can never be friends... *restarts game*

Long story short, more than a week ago I tried switching to a Starfinder Adventure subscription, then tried getting customer service to switch the current adventure in the pending order to the subscription.

Well they made a mess of things, cancelled the current adventure in my order and spawned not one, but two separate orders for Red Shift Rally and the Kobold King Hardcover, while leaving the current bigger order in limbo.

I've been trying to reach customer service department for EIGHT DAYS and have heard absolutely nothing. I've tried responding to the original email chain, and I've tried starting a new email chain, all to no avail.

Well, you're not getting any more of my money if you're going to ignore me.

Cancel everything.

So far my only recourse is to change the expiration date on my payment method, hopefully that's enough.

Ahoy hoy,

Just as the title says, it turns out they have it at the local game store that's conveniently located on my drive home from work. Which is easier for the holiday season.

Thank you, have a great week! Stay warm, it's brutally cold out here on the tundra.

I feel like I'm going to be coming back to this often, with all sorts of questions!

First of all, great job! Looks like a ton of fun!

First question! Can you use your major forms to create armor? Examples in the gear array description only mention weapons and cybernetic augmentations.

B) Do your nanites form all the major and minor forms all at once, or is it as you need the item it's just there.

So I got this game last week but didn't get to play it until Friday, and boy have I been playing it.

But I feel like I should start over and record my findings.

For this playthrough my Biomutant breed is Rex, I went full on intelligence (for the Fievel head) Psi-Freak and I'm going with dark side type of powers but I'm going to side with the ninja hippie tribe instead of the nihilist samurais.

My Biomutant looks like you combined Fievel with Lots A Huggin Bear and gave him PTSD amnesia.

So basically, humanity is wiped out and the world tree is dying and it's up to Captain Lots Of Ammo to save it. Through any means necessary.

Ahoy hoy,

My local store got all of these in stock recently and I'd rather get them from them since it won't take them 40 days to ship.

Thanks, sorry for any inconveniences this may cause.

Ahoy hoy,

So apparently my subs decided they wanted company so they pulled a Dead Reign sourcebook out of a different order and added it to my subs this month, which would normally be fine, but I'd rather get my subs sooner rather than later as the Dead Reign book says it will ship in 16-38 days which is a bit long to wait for a new Starfinder AP.

So, if you could please break up the party and separate the Dead Reign sourcebook that would be great!

I'd do it myself, but I don't want them to think I'm not cool or a narc or anything like that.

Thanks, have a great weekend!

By the way, if you're looking for a zombie apocalypse game Dead Reign is surprisingly fun, I highly recommend it.

Edit: It seems it also shuffled the Graveyard Earth book all by it's lonesome in the sidecar. If you could combine it with the book it tried throwing with my subs into a separate order to ship out when you get them in the warehouse that would be great!

Ahoy hoy,

So I don't mind waiting for the order, but I'm curious as to a couple of things.

1. Which product is backordered?

2. Is it actually on backorder or is it the last one you have so the inventory system automatically says it's backordered (our system at Toys R Us would do that, you wouldn't believe how many times I'd have to check the bays or shelves looking for the last fingerling in the store).

3. If it is backordered what's the average turnaround time on that, and further what are the chances your distributer no longer carries the item.

Thanks! I realize that's a lot to throw at you so no hurry!

Have a great weekend!

Also, if your distributer doesn't carry it anymore go ahead and cancel it, no big deal, Palladium Books aren't exactly the trendy thing these days so completely understandable. Thanks again!!

Ahoy hoy,

After I placed the order it says pending but then also says it will ship in an unknown amount of time. I don't suppose you can have someone check the inventory, and if possible you can combine it with the also pending Australia book and the England book in my side cart into one dynamic, action packed order.

If it's in stock, otherwise just cancel whatever is not in stock.

Thanks, stay safe out there!

Ahoy hoy,

I have an assortment of Starfinder stuff in my shopping cart I'd like to have shipped to a fellow forum member, lisamarlene with whatever shipping is cheaper, also if the Paizocon 2020 code is still active could you apply that to the order (as long as it doesn't drop the order below 100).

Thanks!

I can't link to all the spam posts or threads as I'm at work but I have been tagging it.

Anyway, it's starting to get obnoxious again, just thought you'd want to know.

Ahoy hoy!

So, it's finally happened, after three weeks of ninety degrees every day (I work outside) my brain finally snapped and I accidentally titled a thread "Who Will be The Agents of Edgewatch" instead of "Who Are Your Agents of Edgewatch".

I don't suppose someone can fix that, preferably before my brain tries to attack itself for such insolence. Don't worry, I still have three more days working in the heat this week so you have some time.

For me, I think my character will be a Shoony Investigator named McGruff.

Ahoy hoy,

So I've added a bunch of stuff to my sidecart the last week or so, I don't suppose you'd mind sending it to the warehouse now rather than having an insanely complicated order for next month.

Thanks!

F$#! yes! This, this is the game we need right now!

If you haven't played it I highly recommend getting it.

Ahoy hoy,

I hope your week is going well, mine is going pretty good so far!

Anyway, I recently ordered Lost Omens Legends and I was wondering if you wouldn't mind switching it to a subscription. I was going to do it myself but it wanted me to start with Gods and Magic, which I already have so I figured you would be the experts on sorting everything out.

Thanks! As always I've been greatly enjoying your books!

P.S. I sent an email regarding a pawn mix-up with the last order but no hurry!

Ahoy hoy,

Apparently my wife went all crazy shopping this last weekend and I got a transaction declined message this afternoon. I don't suppose you can reverse that charge or do whatever magic it is that you do and then have it set to ship Friday.

Thank you! Stay healthy and safe!!

Edit: I don't think it technically charged my card it just pinged it so I don't think an actual reversal or whatever is needed but if you could please push it back to Friday that would be awesome!

Ahoy hoy,

I don't know if it's a glitch in the system or if it's just an early warning system, but I got an email saying my complimentary SFS PDFs are pending, which is odd because usually PDFs don't do that.

If you don't mind checking to see what's up that would be amazing! No hurry!

Have a great rest of the week!

Edit: Also, I don't know if my sub order is stuck in some sort of weird pending Upside Down or just waiting for it's turn, but if you could double check the status of that order that would also be amazing.

Thanks, we love 2nd edition!

Just as the title says, no hurry just wanted to report it.

I'm fine, really, yup, no biggie here!

Grabs a baseball bat, and curls up in a fetal position in the corner, sucking his thumb.

Yup, just dandy!

Ahoy hoy,

I got my package right on time last week, opened up the deck and unwrapped the plastic on the cards and went through them and discovered card #46 is missing.

So, I guess if you have a spare card #46, or maybe take it out of Cosmo's deck when he's off doing his dastardly deeds or whatever, that would be great.

No hurry, I'm sure the universe won't collapse without it.

Thanks, have a great day!

Ahoy hoy,

I don't suppose you can hold off on shipping this until Monday, unexpected bill and whatnot.

I will definitely be good by Monday though.

Thanks!

No worries if it ships before you get to it, my bad.

Have a great weekend!

Aw s%#+, guess who got a new videogame for Christmas!

I can't wait to see what kind of damage I can do!

Unfortunately, first it has to load and I have some household stuff done so get your advice in now if you have it (and I welcome all advice).

As always, feel free to join in, play along, or just want somewhere to hang feel free to contribute!

Happy holidays!

Just as the title says, I can't think of any other reason it might happen.

No hurry, have a great weekend!!

Ahoy hoy,

As the title says, I got the first two I was eligible for but nothing after that.

No hurry, have a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend!

Anyone else notice that the response time from customer service has fallen off a cliff?

I've had a thread about my current order up for nearly a week, and they seem to only answer a couple of threads a day these days.

That's no way to run a customer service center.

Ahoy hoy,

I don't suppose you'd mind adding the Lost Omens Character Guide to my currently pending subscription order.

Thank you, have a great weekend!

Ahoy hoy,

I don't suppose you'd mind holding this order until next week it would make things easier, back to school fees and what not.

Thanks! Have a great week!

I thought I'd do the community a solid, if this is in the wrong spot feel free to move it.

With the creatures for Bestiary 2 set it's probably too late for that, but no harm in trying to guess!

Because of that I decided to give it a number neutral name as sort of a catch all for the inevitable 4-120th Bestiaries.

And please remember the only rule of a Captain Yesterday created thread, Be excellent to each other!

Hey, that's 500 aliases! If that isn't jumping the shark then I don't know what is.

It's a good thing I live in Wisconsin, if it's one thing I learned from Happy Days it's that Wisconsin has a large amount of sharks swimming about.

I'm obviously not stopping, but it's not going to get any better.

Exactly what the title says.

And.... Go!

I, for one, welcome our new second edition overlords! May their rule be long, and action packed!

Ahoy hoy,

I don't suppose you'd mind jamming my most recent subscription order into my side cart for a week, it will make the week easier to manage.

Thanks, have a great weekend! It's sunny and warm here, for the first time in months, so I'm pretty stoked!

Ahoy hoy,

I just wanted to confirm that Pathfinder Advantage would continue on the Adventure Path subscription if that is my only Pathfinder sub when the new edition drops, like it has been.

Thanks, have a great week! Hopefully it's stopped raining for the winter!

Don't get me wrong, it's great to finally get some news but I'm afraid the name Age of Ashes doesn't really tell me anything, other than I'll need a respirator mask, and there's apparently a hill chock full of Hellknights.

So, I'm curious if a general plot has been announced and I'm just missing it or if they're doing it to cultivate mystique.

It all sounds fun, just curious. :-)

Yay! First thread for Dawn of Flames!!

First of all, kudos for the adventure path! It looks like a blast!

Now, all I need is time to get my party organized.

So, what do you, the community want to make for this one.

Exactly as it says, no big deal, you don't have to send it manually or anything, i keep an eye on my order history during the shipping window anyway, so i'd seen it completed and there isn't a tracking number to keep track of. I just thought you'd like to know!

Thanks!

Have a great (and hopefully snow free) rest of your week!

Ahoy hoy,

I just wanted to pass along my thanks for you being you!

Your customer service is always helpful and prompt.

Your warehouse always gets it done promptly, no matter how confusing my order.

I've enjoyed everything I've gotten from you and your products have greatly enhanced both my life and my family's too!

Your artists, writers, and cartographers have always been incredibly talented, very approachable, and thoughtful.

Your editors, designers, and developers have always been willing to listen, open to change, and eager to try new things (as well as talented and all that).

Your management team is always willing to take risks and also eager to try new things and have always been incredibly helpful, forthright, and transparent.

Thank you for your web team and message boards, I've made a lot of good friends, learned a lot about myself, both good and bad, and even learned how to write by using your message boards.

So, thank you! For everything!

Now, some community members will disagree with me on some things, and perhaps it sounds a bit gushy and perhaps I could've phrased it betterer, and I totally understand and accept that, it's just my own experience.

Ahoy hoy,

Thank you so much for suspending my subs, if you wouldn't mind shifting everything that's been building up to a side cart so it'll ship with the next round of subs that would be amazing!

Thanks! Have a great weekend!

Everyone loves a good space opera! Too bad I can't sing!

However, I have seen a lot of Star Wars and Star Trek spoofs and I happened to find Mass Effect Andromeda Deluxe Edition on sale for super cheap so I thought why not!

Full disclosure, I've never played Mass Effect before.

After five and a half years in the toy mines I'm back shoveling snow so I thought it would be fun to have a place to share the experience.

Feel free to share your own snow related stories or to gawk and laugh.

No promises on coherency.

I best be able to ride cattle.

I think I've gone long enough without my Fallout fix.

Absolutely no idea what kind of Lone survivor I'm going to be, but it's going to terrible!

Remember kids! Try this at home!
