I don't suppose there is room in your firefly game still available for a total stranger or two? My GF and I love firefly and were intrigued about the RP game for it.

This wave is for "Dark Sasha" and "Jake in the Grass." If you are still looking for work, welcome to the crew.
DS, you are the doctor: "Clemencia Welford" She is a "Doctor without Borders" personality. She has a history of stirring up trouble on Border and Rim worlds. She dismisses the Locals superstitions in favor of treating people. Running from pitchfork and torch mobs is almost her signature. But at least they are healthy mobs, right?
JitG you are the Mechanic: "Santana Murtaugh" Classic ships engineer type. But you have one hiccup. You're alcoholic father pays for a cabin on this ship too. The Captain looks to you when Dad acts up. You dread the Captain's angry bellow of "Murtaugh!" It means you broke the ship or Dad threw up in the Captains quarters...Again.

Sorry Kaldaka, if I had any open chairs, you both would be more than welcome. If there are any cancellations I will post to this thread. You will get first pick
El-El,
Did you set a time for this yet?
M
I have a game "01:00 PM – 06:00 PM/Olympia Room/The Throne of Azlant"
How about a start time of Saturday @ 8:00 PM? Does that work for the majority of the crew?
Works for me too!
As the banquet doesn't even begin till 7 PM I don't see me making an 8 PM time, on time. I was hoping for an after Banquet session or a different time.
Doesn't begin until 7pm? I tried looking around but didn't see the time anywhere. I thought it started earlier than that.
M
I see the problem. El-El, what about starting later? I can play as late as needed...I do have an early game on Sunday but I'll survive I think. Anybody else mind shifting it out and staying up a bit late?
M
Dinner good. Like dinner. I've got a game until 1800 but that leaves plenty of time before the Firefly game starts.
M
I see me possibly bailing on the after food portion of the banquet. I just know the food line is long and finally being able to sit down and eat may take a bit of time. I was hoping for around a 9 PM time. If I don't make it by 9 PM assume the Paizonians are holding me hostage.
We will start at 9 PM. Its possible you all won't need Doctorin' right away.
狗屎! Ya mean I'm gonna be doing laps around the ship again.
...
I'll be in my bunk. Let me know when something needs shootin'.
Final beeranalysis: I should have about a case of (really stinkin' good) IPA and a half case each of Irish red ale and Kolsch. Unfortunately the blackberry isn't quite ready. :( Taste testing an IPA right now. Yum!

I'm bringing a 21 year Jamaican rum (very dry ... reminiscent of whiskey in the taste profile), a 23 year Guatemalan blended rum (have not tried it yet), an 18 year Nicaraguan rum (the 12 year from this distillery is quite excellent), and a 12 year Barbados rum (have not tried it) with me to Seattle ... one of these will be joining us at the table as well. ;)
That all sounds very dangerous...
We played a little Firefly today. Got to be a Blue Sun agent following up on the "incident" on Higgen's Moon. Fun!
An aside: any of you interested in joining me, El-El, and zylphryx for some epic sci-fi gaming on Thursday morning and Sunday night? Link: http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2pvr7?Burning-Empires

I'll be around the lobby Thursday morning, probably trying to sleep off my redeye and waiting for the hotel to let me check into my room.
If you're around on Sunday and don't mind playing a character you didn't build you can join us anyway.

Affirmative. I like the latter start time.
Hey guys - just wanted to mention I'll be up for joining the pre-game dinner outing, as I'm not going to the Banquet.
- Mike C.
If somehow there opens a spot for a wandering preacher to join this voyage, then I'd be right glad to ship out with you. I'm not so much looking for a place to go, moreso I'm looking for a journey in getting there.
It will be great to see you again!
Hi all,
I think we're still on for dinner but El-El is still in Throne of Azlant with Erik Mona. Not sure when it will be done. I have cell #s for most of you and will text as soon as I hear something about dinner.
M
Will do. Aberdeen is in disarray right now but we'll be in that area, I think.
Dinner attendees: My mistake, El-El's game was 1pm-6pm. We'd like to meet in the lobby between 6:30 and 6:45. Text if you read this and can't make it by then. We'll decide where to go from there.
M
Attention crew: The mess is now closed. Please report to the Aberdeen room (or vicinity) on deck two. We will be breaking atmo at 21:00 (that's 19:00 for you gorram civilians). That is all.
Captain Bleak
Alliance? What the...
Fun game last night. Well, I what I remember of it was fun. I blame my memory lapses on lolrobots' cinnamon moonshine...
M
Failed *my* save, that's for sure. Was there dancing on the bridge?
New silk suits? You betcha there was some dancin', cap'n.
Did we get paid? And will they be payin' fer a new mule?
And thanks fer comin' t'get us Thad. I was feelin' a might soul torn when those whacked out miners went all belligerent ...
The effect of that strange device which reduced you all to gibbering frothing imbeciles was fascinating, yet terrifying to behold. Hmm if only I could harness such an effect into a hand weapon...
*Returns to the lab to experiment on bug eggs found in that cargo hold, muttering something about frequencies*

Hmmm. Patrick may join the crew next time...with less fireball! ;)

RECAP 1 of 2.
I tried to keep it short, but you people make that impossible...In a good way! A lot more was done by everyone. Please add your exploits or corrections to the thread. Great game everyone! You all make it a blast to GM Firefly!
You picked up an extra an unwelcome passenger at Higgins Moon. A Mr. Smith, Blue Sun security specialist. For some reason, (see: Big Mouth Hindrance) Blue Sun thinks you all need a babysitter. But luckily there was enough Blue Sun trust remaining to hire you for another job.
The Pescaline D was to be picked up at the Space Bazaar and delivered to the New Salem mining colony. Easy Peasy.
At the Space Bazaar you met the slimy little business man Patrick Duxberry and his colorful gang. Through an inebriated Cockney accent, he informed you that the medication was locked away in a shipping container with a possible monster. You discovered that the monster was merely a giant bug. Hilarity ensued.
After rounding up the crew and Mr Smith (who was carrying a mysterious case) you departed The Space Bazaar with the medicine.
Upon arriving at the planet, you contacted their beacon for a flight plan. A minute later somehow... some unfathomable way, a landlock was put on Babe while you were in the atmosphere. This caused the engines to power down and Babe fell like a rock.
Thad and Santana pulled Babe back together just in time to make a hard landing. Captain Bleak was pissed.
After the dust settled, Smith was blamed for this mishap. It was theorized that his mysterious case was the source for the landlock and crash. The crew opened the case without permission or Smith's presence. Turned out to be a cat carrier. Smith's terrified cat [ Mr. Wiggles] escaped in a blur. The crew assumed the cat was a biological carrier for something evil. Possible a bug egg. Thad and Quin stayed on the ship to round up the cat for study. It was to be scanned, poked and prodded. In the end, Mr. Wiggles is declared clean. He is a happy cat and wants to join the crew.
Meanwhile, the rest of the Crew and Smith found the real source for the landlock. Through a godlike engineering roll of 53, Santana tracked the signal to the center of the mine. (Really, the hand held scanner doesn't have that range. But the man rolled a 53, I can't short change it.)
The Mule "Francis" was driven down the expansive mine shaft. They drove by many confused and exhausted miners. The main cave was an expansive hole that could fit a starship. The signal trace was bouncing all over the place. But it was here somewhere for sure. Santana tightened the scan and doing so, he accidentally tripped a hypersonic attack. The effect was a piercing sound that shattered all thoughts and sense of Self. Everyone slumped over and started foaming and bleeding from the eyes, ears and mouth. Smith made a Quickness roll and put his special ear plug filters in. However, even with the filters in place, Smith was getting feedback from the attack and his reactions were slowed. He attempted to turn the Mule around for a hasty retreat. That's when the Miners swarmed the Mule with picks, shovels and laser diggers. Smith went on the offensive, neutralizing as many miners as possible. But it wasn't enough. More were coming.
RECAP 2 of 2.
Please add your exploits or corrections to the thread. Great game everyone! You all make it a blast to GM Firefly!
Back on the ship: Thad and Quin were able to reach the Mule crew using personal communicators but the responses were gibberish. On the last attempt they heard gunfire and profanities in the background.
Thad and Quin jumped to action. They raided Tyrone's weapons locker, err.. bunk and grabbed all the weapons the could carry. Fortunately all the guns were loaded.
Thad, Quin, and Mr. Wiggles hastily piled into the shuttle "Jinwu" and rocketed to the mine.
Jinwu barely fit in the mine shaft. Incredibly difficult rolls were made to not crash and burn. Some miners suffered terminal collateral damage as the shuttle flew through them down the mine shaft.
When Jinwu reached the cave, Quin scanned the area and the hypersonic effect was easy to detect. Upon reaching the Mule, the scene was a bit overwhelming.
The outnumbered Smith was being dragged out of the mule just as Ty and Clem came back on line. They rescued Smith from the horde and started fightin together. But escape using the Mule was impossible. Earlier when Smith was drivin' and shootin under the influence (hypersonic feedback) he crashed Francis into a formidable stalagmite. The Mule could barely stay afloat.
Undaunted, Thad and Quin (hearing protection in place) exited Jinwu's ramp, guns blazin. Quin quickly realized shootin was not his forte (Ty makes it look so easy) and gave up shootin. But not before a dirty look from Thad.
The next initiative, Thad pulled the Black Joker. In game terms this is the worst thing that can happen.
All the Miners in unison turned their attention to Thad and charged. Quin dropped his gun and hightailed up the ramp before Thad could even react. Thad soon followed. Thad jumped into the cockpit. (Quin was already under the co-pilot dashboard tearing apart a communications console.) All you could see was Quin's feet.
Thad maneuvered Jinwu towards the trapped Mule crew and plowed through the miners. That thinned the herd mightily.
Thad swung a shuttle door around to the trapped crew.
Quin finished tinkering with the Comm center and sent out a short range jammer to stop hypersonic attack. With this brief respite, the Mule crew staggered onto Jinwu. But not before they set the mules guidance control for the source of trouble and shoved it off the cliff.
Thad flew Jinwu out of the mine shaft and barely didn't crash. There were many Poker Chips flying into the pot to make this happen. It was close. Upon reaching Babe the crew hastily boarded and were relieved to discover the mule wasn't sacrificed in vain, the landlock was gone.
It took a combined effort of Thad, Quinton and Santana to get the ship airborne again.
The Pescaline D was lobbed out an airlock towards the town and the Babe beat a hasty retreat.
BTW, It is mentioned in the specs of "Babe" that the engines are way overpowered for the design, but this is one of those times that was necessary.
So what is the fallout from this latest adventure? Stay tuned... Things get complicated.
