I'd like to dip my toes back into the world of PbP after some time away. Last time I played Starfinder was... 2017? And it was only for a handful of games. Is it alright if I tag along for this one?

Absolutely! This is a good scenario for new or returning players.

This charming, well-groomed ysoki lives with a strong, recurrent urge to steal, without any conscious regard for the items value or immediate utility and often without any particular memory of the theft. Yet, apparently due to some yet-to-be-understood twist within the fabric of time, Tuek finds that most of the items that he pockets (or cheeks?) turn out to be just the right tool or trinket he needs at a particular moment.

I was wondering what "kleptovoyant" meant! :)
For anyone who has taken a look at my character, from what I've been able to find on the internet, a level in soldier to start off a battlemage-type technomancer doesn't seem to be a bad idea (yay proficiencies!) so that's what I've done. Technomancer will be level 2 with an eye for buffing spells and utility.
cmlobue, Little Lendtech's player here. Are you planning to run the game on discord? I'm having a little trouble getting logged in there.
Gummy Bear,
I like your concept personally. Looking at your build, I think you only get 6 skill points -- 4 from soldier, 2 from 14 intelligence, but I might have missed something.
One personal rule of mine -- always grab a melee weapon of some sort. Seems like you always need one sooner or later. Among other experiences, I had a technomancer who regretted having only a sidearm when the enemy suddenly got up close and personal. (I also advocate always having a ranged weapon for much the same reason .)
Lysle, looking forward to see what Tuek can do. He's the first precog I've played with.
And a kalo! Fun choice, Jason. And it's always nice to have a higher level PC in the group to bail us out of trouble if we get in over our heads.

Nope, planning to run it right here.
The four of you can dot into Gameplay and start talking to each other. I'm going to wait another 12 hours or so before the briefing to see if anyone else wants to join, but we will be started soon.

Thanks for looking it over! You're right, one of the earlier iterations of Mazirek had a 16 int and I never modified the skill points after dropping it. Fixed! Getting a melee weapon in there now too.
We only have 4; so there's room. And 5 players is so much better. I'm playing a mechanic, but I never mind duplicating a class with another player. It's fun to compare builds and try to play up the differences between the PCs.

As it turns out. Experimental Vehicle is banned. So I'll have to ponder another concept.
A few ideas I had are not SFS.
If I miss the Go Time that's how it happens~ I need to read a few classes I have acces to etc.
the experimental vehicle mechanic being a courier was an idea I liked~
You could probably still use the idea even if you don't necessarily have the mechanical abilities to back it up! A mechanic (the class) who is an expert driver/pilot who is a professional courier is likely something the rules support. Maybe the exocortex is what makes you such a boss, or your drone gives you the support you need to be better than some average joe. I'd help you more directly, but I'm frankly not familiar enough with this rule set to offer more than encouragement!
One nice thing about Starfinder Society is that you are allowed to change absolutely anything about your character until you play them at level 2. That means you can try three different ideas without locking yourself into anything.
Vehicle (and mech) based options aren't available in SFS mostly because they are not the sort of thing that comes up frequently (unlike starships, which are used every 2-3 scenarios). If you play enough, you will see both around.
I will say that vehicles do come up in this scenario.
It will definitely be a day or two before we reach the point where adding a player becomes a problem (and you can still get full credit for playing even if you entirely miss one of the missions).
For something more specific to your idea, you could play an operative with the driver specialization, or possibly a technomancer who specializes in the "junk" spells.
The races in the Core Rulebook (standard and legacy) are always available, as are those listed on this page if you have the sourcebook they are presented in:
https://organizedplayfoundation.org/Lorespire/sfsguide._.Character-Creation
It's not about what you played for the most part, it's about what you own. You would need to own a copy of Starfinder #28 in order to use that item.
The exception is items that appear on chronicle sheets for games you've completed; they can be purchased as soon as you meet the level requirement (no more than 2 higher than your character).
(Also, if this is a brand new character, I would advise against spending 900 of your starting 1000 credits on a single item, especially one that does not help you in combat.)

Zwordsman here. Character is mechanically close to done. Spending is required still.
Yep Figured it was not a good plan haha. Just loved that concept. Well in the future! That one I don't own anyway. I don't really own much AP just the main biger line books.
I've got this one generally finished. I wanted to put it out prior to going to work. At lunch I'll look at items, figure out the name as well. I believe the rest is good for a GM review. Was half pondering lowering INT for moe Dex or Con. INT does give DC and more grenades though.
Also languages.
This is on Abso station correct? Would you have any suggestions on basic languages that a person on said station would know?
This would be the first character I played using the actual Starfinder setting.
No, as long as your character is level 1 or 2 and has not already received a chronicle for this adventure, they can play.
Yes, you can join now.
cmlobue, I think Zwordsman is waiting for a definitive no-nogo decision on their Lufia character.
Of course. The character looks good. Join in whenever you are ready.
