Can Del use all her unused rounds starting as far back as round 1 in this post? I'm not really sure how to bot her but knowing how many rounds of actions she can expend may help narrow down the options.

Lol I meant to run something. Im looking for #1-12: Ashes of Discovery or #1-24: Siege of Enlightenment. I can run something in return Unfortunately, I don't have the bandwidth to run or play a game but I have some old slides to share for 1-12 in case you find a GM who would like to use them.
Feel free to grab a copy here: LINK
Note that slides 4, 5, and 7 are not blank - they're covered up. Hope this can be of use!
Also, with Nefreet gone, we've lost our resident ship builder. I'm not sure about everyone else but the ship building rules when we level up are a complete mystery to me. I suppose leveling our ship up doesn't matter unless we get into ship combat.
And considering that we're currently not on our own ship, perhaps it's not an immediate concern.
I am very sad to see you step back, Nefreet/Strek. However, I totally understand and wish you all the best with your RL endeavors! Gaming with you on the forums over the years has been a blast and you'll be sorely missed.
If life opens up in the future and gives you a bit more time again for PbP, please reach out!

Haha! Awesome! A little bit too much time on your hands this evening? Insomnia perhaps?

This Fly Free or Die campaign might very well be the last 1E thing I play before moving over to 2E!

I don't think I saw anyone mention it in this thread but in case anyone wasn't aware, there is a Starfinder Humble Bundle that's on right now!

"Quite the cynical pragmatist aren't you?" grins Wazasha, obviously amused at Delikie's responses. "I think our audience particularly enjoys your ideas of turning Kaath into a weapon or Purrfecta as a meat shield.
"Your mercenary war story sounds awful. But I believe you may have some interesting stories to tell... But perhaps for another time. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us."
Wazasha cuts the Booth's camera feed and remarks with a grin, "Don't be suprised if Zo! reaches out to you in the future for a show about some of the more gory mercenary missions you've been on."
The infosphere feed chimes:
Delikie says it like it is! I'm gonna pray she survives - we need more of her straight talk! #cynicgogue
Plus one fan favor for Delikie

I just came across this video.
I imagine this is what Jhaeman's Sem looked like playing drums in the previous Band on the Run scenario... Assuming the costume worn in this video was a kasatha costume that is!!
And perhaps Sem was playing little children's show gigs until Neon and Noqual picked him up! Ha!
Norbert's aid made me literally LOL as well!
Hey there! Sorry, I missed the link somewhere along the way and didn't know the thread was already up! Thanks for the DM, Shifty!
Here's my character info:
Character name: Blazin' Bubba
SFS ID: 194657-708
Level: 5
For the pregens, I'm leaning towards the envoy. After that, I don't have a strong preference and am okay with any of the three.
Oh 80's fashion........ Makes me laugh AND cry!
Hey, for the train robbery, is it 4 players or 6?
I'm torn with the amount of other games going on at the moment and REALLY wanting to go on a sci-fi train heist!!
Gah! Let's do eeeet!! Count me in!!
I recently played "The Starfinder Four vs The Hardlight Harlequin" run by the great Shifty here: LINK
Having played Chox, I have his character sheet in BB code to submit to the project here: Chox BB Sheet
Can someone with access to the project place Chox's sheet in the appropriate place here? Project Google Drive
I haven't played the train heist one. Happy to roll with either scenario!
(Again, assuming you'll have me and there's space!)
I'd be up for Band on the Run if you'll have me and there's space!
I'd be up for playing those as well. Haven't played or GM'd any of them.

Yesterday right before a Roll20 game I was cutting cantaloupe with a bread knife on my kitchen nook and a tall cylinder of dry spaghetti wobbled off the top shelf, then fell onto the handle of my knife, causing it to propeller into the air and cut the back of my left hand.
So clearly Del is pulling from our reality. -------------

So what I'm hearing is that Meloriel has the following ability...
Meloriel's Reality Slash (Su): If a fellow PBP player talks smack ICly or OOCly about a character played by Meloriel, she may trigger a random accident resulting in the PBP player sustaining an IRL minor slashing wound. When used, this ability results in technical difficulties preventing Meloriel from posting on the Paizo forums for 1d6 days. This ability cannot be used again until Meloriel's ability to post on the Paizo forums is restored.

Hiya Dennis! Congrats on your first SFS scenario!!!
I took a look at the sign-up sheet and see there is possibly one spot left open at this table? If so, may I sign up? I filled in my character's details at the bottom of the sheet.
But with Azara's solarion on board, perhaps I won't bring my melee soldier - leaving either of these available to join:
- lvl 6 ranged soldier
- lvl 8 envoy
Heya cmlobue! Count me in! I currently have several options:
- lvl 6 ranged soldier
- lvl 8 envoy
- lvl 7 melee soldier
I may pull one of them into a different game - I'll see. But otherwise, I'll wait to see what other players will bring before deciding.
Thank you!

Alrighty, with two vanguards and a mystic, I'll bring the level 4 pregen envoy instead of my level 6 soldier (Ratatat). I'll post up my details a bit later on today!

Hey, so are dropbears, by definition, already uplifted???
ba dum tss!!!
(hopefully I'm not repeating an already old, worn out joke...?)
Hi there!
I was going to bring in a level 6 soldier but it's looking like we'll be running level 3-4 (low-tier). So instead, I'm thinking to play a level 4 pregen instead. Looking at the party composition on the sign-up sheet, I'm thinking to bring the envoy Navasi.
If it is okay, I'll wait for more folks to check in with what characters & classes they're bringing and then I'll confirm which pregen I'll play.
Looking forward to the game!!
Nice one meloriel - that's awesome!! Yep, confirmed! You're a writer alright! ;-)
The witchwarper sounds very cool!

Strek Armstrom wrote: Actually, you know what, Strek could take Powered Armor Proficiency at 5th and delay Weapon Focus until 7th in order to qualify for the Powered Armor Jockey Archetype, which only replaces features at 6th, 9th & 12th, and so wouldn't interfere with him taking Improved Overcharge at 8th. So what you're saying is that "Stretch" is gonna grow up to become "POWER Stretch"?!?!
Perhaps that'll qualify him for another line of work - spokesmodel inserted into this advert!

Welcome Remnar! Pleased to meet you!!
You make a good point... The player's guide DID mention powered armor!! Will be fun to see how that plays out!

Cellion, I just recently came across this while taking a closer look at my potential operative build...
In case you haven't already seen this, the Selective Explosions stunt may be of interest for AoE build concepts. It'll require at least a one level dip in operative though (with either a gadgeteer or hacker specialization).

Alrighty, I'm going to take a page out of Nefreet's book and lay out what I've got so far...
NAME: TBD (maybe "Spook" as a name or nickname)
RACE: Space Goblin (because they're adorable little critters!)
CLASS: Operative w/ "Free Trader" archetype (spy specialization, stunt and strike)
THEME: Corporate Agent
BACKGROUND: Old Hand (been working his way through corporate politics)
ALIGNMENT: Chaotic Neutral (sometimes following the rules works, but most times it won't, so a bit of rule bending/breaking will always be needed to get you and your crew ahead)
STARSHIP ROLE: Captain or possibly chief mate, gunner, pilot, science officer (have one or two skill points to spare and can put them somewhere specific to fill any gaps we may have)
PERSONALITY: Profit-driven and likes to sow mischief, confusion and chaos amongst rivals & opponents in order to get ahead. But will prioritize crewmates over profit - if not out of loyalty, then out of practicality where one cannot survive alone out in space. (Although I fully expect this character to develop loyalty with other characters fairly quickly... hard not to after relying on each other after multiple combat encounters!) Also tends to change his physical features on a daily basis with his morphic skin. Some days his ears are smaller, other days he's a little taller, sometimes a bit more gaunt or other times a bit more chubby, etc. He picks up languages of small-sized races because it's easier to disguise himself as those races and speaking their language can make the disguise more effective.
BACKSTORY: Not yet fully formed, but something along the lines of: A goblin who found a way into working at The Company's corporate offices - I'm not sure yet how. Maybe recruited as a goblin with particularly promising profit-making potential or maybe he worked within the company under a disguise the entire time, hiding the fact that he's a goblin. He played office politics to climb the corporate ladder and when it suited him, he'd lie, cheat and steal to get ahead - especially by disguising himself and impersonating others. At some point, if it was known that he's a goblin, he either hit a goblin glass ceiling or broke through it - not sure yet on this either. Ultimately, he got caught doing something bad that he couldn't weasel his way out of - if it was not known that he's a goblin, then he was found out during this incident. Instead of getting fired, he was 'banished' from any further positions at the corporate offices to instead go crew long haul freighters. The Company figures they can still squeeze profit out of him working on ships and he's a goblin, so it's not like he's got a lot of viable employment opportunities elsewhere.
CATCHPHRASE: Not sure yet... but since people may not ever be sure who he really is, perhaps... "Say my name!!"
CURRENT CHARACTER SHEET: LINK (not yet finalized)
-------------------
On a separate note, I've been tossing around the idea of picking up the "smuggler" profession and working that into my character's backstory. And while searching through holographic gear to help with disguises, I came across this holographic sashimono. I was trying to think about how this works for a smuggler... A big holographic banner that announces to the world, 'I smuggle things! Don't be shy, ask me anything!'??? hehehe...

Cellion: I did some googling but just to confirm, cruel is a level 6 weapon fusion, right?
PaleDim: A couple more catchphrase ideas...
If a vanguard: "Chaaaaaarge!!!"
Right before tearing into some enemies: "Step into my china shop!" (although Mythbusters totally busted this one which is fascinating...)
Something to do with red bulls and wings?
All: I'm struggling with naming my master of disguises, spy operative goblin. The best I've come up with so far is "Spook" as a nickname or maybe actual name but it doesn't sound cheeky enough for a goblin. Work in progress!

Nefreet, I like how you wrote this while waiting for your actual car to get serviced IRL! Haha!
Everyone, I'll mention though that I think another social character wouldn't be a bad idea. Sounds like that'd be useful with this AP.
On a separate note, if another corporate agent theme is selected, there might be an opportunity to combine our narratives.

Cellion: I can possibly do a combo also.
Mechanically, with the build I currently have in mind, there's two ways I foresee contributing to a combo, both of which will use operative stunts. Either picking up the Feinting Stunt to make targets flat-footed or Set-Up to lower a target's saving throw (which I think stacks with other saving throw debuffs?). If other party members already have abilities to make enemies flat-footed and/or have abilities that require enemies to roll saving throws, then perhaps Set-Up is the way I'll go.
I'm up for a narrative combo as well, but I suppose it will depend on the backstories we have in mind. For my character, I'm thinking goblin who somehow found a way into working at The Company's corporate offices - not sure yet how. He played office politics to climb the corporate ladder and when it suited him, he'd lie, cheat and steal to get ahead - especially by disguising himself and impersonating others. At some point, he either hit a goblin glass ceiling or broke through it - not sure yet on this either. But ultimately, he got caught doing something bad that he couldn't weasel his way out of. But instead of getting fired, he was 'banished' from positions at the corporate offices to instead go crew long haul freighters. The Company figures they can still squeeze profit out of him working on ships and he's a goblin, so it's not like he's got a lot of viable employment opportunities elsewhere. These are the broad strokes I've got in mind. Happy to see if there's some way to weave my character's backstory together with anyone else!
Nefreet: Heya!! Happy to see you here!! "Stretch"...HA!! You know that made me laugh!
