[YEE/SFS/ACE] 7-03 Aucturn Asunder (Inactive)

Game Master Kludde

This is a central discussion thread for the year of Fortune's Fall playthrough. More info to follow.

/cough - Super keen!

When do you want sign ups to begin?

Hey Shifty, great to have you! You can already sign up your name in the linked spreadsheet, which is the system I'll use for now. I've started inviting other players, so let's see who wants to join.

I can imagine it will be harder to fill the 6-01 and 6-02 tables, because they're offered at conventions (e.g. PaizonCon online) and the playerbase for PbP Starfinder tends to be sparser. I can start the games anytime on or after May 31st, which is when they become available for the general public.

Hello! Thanks for inviting me. I'd definitely like to be involved.

The only caveat is that I'm trying not to overload myself on games so I could only commit to one game at a time if you're going to run 2 or 3.

But I love getting a group of characters together and running them through several scenarios as a group, so I hope you'll consider me.

I am here! Looking forward to playing through season six with everyone and thank you Kludde for inviting me.

@Shifty, happy to have the chance to play with you this time as opposed to you trying to TPK my PC's party!

Oh, thanks for this invite. I'm definitely in. I've got the bandwidth for once too!

@Shifty, happy to have the chance to play with you this time as opposed to you trying to TPK my PC's party!

...I mean, I can still give it a red hot go to nuke the party, just from the INSIDE this time.

I'm hoping to see a J'Shun/Chorizal appearance when we hot the correct tier adventures.

Wonderful! Looks like we have a core group of players, which is really great news. If you know any further players that you think would be interested in this, please send me a PM and I'll reach out to them. I'm still awaiting a response from two invites, but I'm not expecting both of them to say yes (though I'm always ready to be pleasantly surprised).

I'll also set up tables for 6-01 and 6-02 once the 'herding cats' phase of the PaizonCon Online games is over. Can you already reserve your names in the sign-up sheet (if you haven't already done so), so I know how many seats I need to fill from open recruitment?

I'm pretty sure the space admiral will be making an appearance, hopefully with his favorite captain to back him up also.

I just made purchases from our technically successful last mission so I'm ready to rock when something befitting our abilities comes up.

Great! As promised, the gameplay threads have been set up, you can find them here:

6-01
6-02

I'm going to see if I can get two c.q. three more players from open recruitment, but you can already dot in the and do the paperwork.

Ship roles:

Captain:
Chief Mate: ?Twila-5
Pilot:
Engineer:
Science Officer:
Gunner:
Magic Officer:

Twila-5's modifiers:
Engineering/Computers: +10
Gunnery: +7
Piloting +12
Acrobatics +13

She'd prefer to be the Chief Mate, but will fill in wherever there's a need.

Darakwinn has a decent Intimidation so she could Captain, but she's better suited for the Magic Officer role.

I've pulled everyones stats and popped the lot into a spreadsheet in the SLIDES deck.

It's tough as Cham is both the best pilot and the best gunner, and I have to admit that high a gunnery score could mean significantly more shots landed, but at the same time, it likely means a lot of winning init.

Pilot: Cham
Gun 1: HK (alternate Sci/Eng)
Gun 2: Doc (alternate Cap)
Gun 3: Twil
Mago: Dara
Chief: Astra

We're in a Drake so we can theoretically have up to FOUR weapons brought to bear each round, this ship is all about the Gunnery, or adding things that make our gunners able to moar-gun.

Sorry, I'm slow to the discussion. (This is one of the busiest times of the year for me (assistant principal) and today was graduation. I'm typically good for a handful of posts each day. Chief works for me. It'll be cool to play aside Twila, and not just GM!

Cha'mon Cha'mon is level 6, so he can do a Broadside action if he is a gunner.

Just had another look - we're in the T6 Drake so:
Attack (Forward) particle beam (8d6), coilgun (4d4)
Attack (Port) coilgun (4d4)
Attack (Aft) coilgun (4d4)
Attack (Turret) heavy plasma torpedo launcher (5d10)

At best we get three weapons into play each round, but our combat effectiveness in the Drake is almost entirely reliant on positioning enemies into that frontal arc - which means we need to dominate the initiative - which means your super high +16 on Piloting. Ideally we give you a +2 off the Trinode as well to further ensure you can dominate initiative and force them to keep moving first.

Cha'mon Cha'mon is level 6, so he can do a Broadside action if he is a gunner.

Cha'mon Cha'mon!

Thanks to your character name, I found out that this awesome band is playing in my hometown this fall. Thanks for that.

I actually don't know anything about that band. Cha'mon's name was inspired by this scene from one of my favorite movies Rush Hour 2, Cha'mon, Lee!

I assumed Rush Hour too :-)

Works for me. DocMedevac™ and HunterKiller 42-5 can have the particle beam and the Turret, since they'll be more likely to hit. I'll take a coilgun.

Geez the combat is running efficiently :)

Apparently there is some serious errata for 6-01. I have no idea what, but was warned by friends...

Hey, It's Mama Rae. Mama Rae, eat or play. Does your horse neigh? Mama Rae! Don't go away! Come to Mama Rae! I can do this all day, Mama Rae!

Context question: Is this a commercial playing over an intercom or on a nearby video screen? A thought protruding into our minds? Does it have a catchy or cringey jingle?

Yes, I'm focused on the least important thing right now. ;p

It might be a jingle that you have seen or heard, and it definitely comes with a cringey tune. The intention was for the jingle to be 'something that exists in the universe', for example a message you might encounter on the infosphere, like such:

Thanks for the clarification.

Final apology! That was the last of my craziness. I'm back full time all the time. Catching up this morning.

Welcome back to the normal world, no crazy people here ;-). I suppose the first point of order would be to post a combat action in 6-01

Well, "no crazy people here" might not be entirely accurate. [giggles maniacally]

I've added threads for 6-03 and 6-04, which will be released on June 28.

6-03 is a tier 3-6 game, and a metaplot follow-up of 6-01, so it makes sense to start that one after 6-01 is finished.

6-04 is a tier 9-12 game, which I'll offer as soon as 6-02 is completed.

At this point, I've opened up the Sign-up sheet and have created gameplay threads to dot in to.

Ooh, I'd love to play 6-03, but I'll be unable to post from July 1-9. Have fun without me, guys!

I'll be camping and at Scout camp from July 1-9 and have no idea if I'll be able to post while I'm gone. Fingers crossed, but please bot as needed.

Edit: Though it may not be an issue for this game.

Profession (electrition): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

I'll be announcing the 6-03 and 6-04 games on the station in a couple of days. If you want to claim a spot before that time, put your name up on the sign-up sheet here

Ooh, I'd love to play 6-03, but I'll be unable to post from July 1-9. Have fun without me, guys!

I've added a row to the sign-up sheet to allow players to voice their interest in a recent game, and I'll start it once I have enough players (provided I have capacity). You can sign up for 6-03 (on the lower row), and we can start it anytime after July 9, if we get enough players. It's a lot easier for me to run a second table of the same game.

No Day Job here.

Thanks! I'll do that.

Back! Sorry work got a little hectic in a remote area, back home now, 4 hours sleep in the last 72 so updating posts, cleaning all my gear, dinner, bed :p

The next games have been released, so let's get seated at the tables! Please dot in at the gameplay threads and do all the paperwork. There's enough paperwork to satisfy a Hellknight in there.

Unfortunately I need to bow out from 6-04. Both my characters that could have played this scenario are actually unavailable :(

Sorry DM Kludde!

Thanks for letting me know, I'll call in the reserve player.

RPG Chronicles for 6-03 and 6-04 say they are still for 6-01 in the scenario section, so it won't let you register a PC that is higher than level 4 for them.

The scenario list for RPGC still doesn't contain the new scenarios. I've set the scenarios to 6-02 and 5-10 for now, they cover the same level ranges. Can you try again?

Also, still waiting for the pdfs in my subscription to drop... I can't really start without them :-/

It works now.

While Gunnz is always keen on the pilots seat, as a player, I'm real happy for Katrina to fly, that extra +4 is massive in space combat and winning initiative is the secret to winning the combat. Does this actually have space combat in it? I didn't think I saw the space combat tag.

Actually Kat has heard about Gunnz's flying ability on the gossip network and is curious to see what she can do. She'll probably ask for a demo - on the excuse of space combat drills.

"You want to know who's the best? It's right here. The best pilot's name is on the Starfinder Fleet Top Gun trophy and it's been my call sign on it for the last five years and counting."

Next Wednesday I'm off on holiday for a week. I may be able to do some posting, but please just bot me by default

@Ilmakis, Shifty: can you make sure your RPG chronicles info for 6-03 is complete?

In other news, the RPG chronicles now refer to the correct adventure
