While I am currently running Dead Suns and am up to book 5, I decided I was having too much fun with my primary to power level her into retirement by applying AP boons to her. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of high level SFS games that get run around here, so she has been stuck at 1 XP away from 8th for a while. I really only get to play her during Con season.

["Dr." Cupi]

Oh, I love playing this character. Sadly slow tracking isn't a thing in Starfinder (yet?). It is mute now, as this character is my only one who I would slow track. That said...

Anyone else in the 12 club?

["Dr." Cupi]

Huzzah! We will get to play level 12s in the foreseeable future!

[Billiard]

I have a 9 and a 10 and will be finishing up one AP soon. Still I will need to finish another to hit 12.

What? Explain how!

(I'm only level 7 currently but I expect to have at least 1 level 12 by the end of the year, playing Dead Suns/Aeon Throne/Signal of Screams on another character monthly).

["Dr." Cupi]

Tonya announced that 2-00 Starfinder Special will have 11-12 as the highest tier.

Be careful. If you apply book 6 of Dead Suns and book 3 of Signal of Screams, your character will be level 13.

Ah that will be okay. That character was made just to do the APs. He'll be ready to retire on a bed of credsticks with many beautiful kasathan ladies by that point, if his team doesn't murder him first.

["Dr." Cupi]

I'm also looking to make a table for GenCon as there aren't level 12 pregens. Does anyone out there have a level 12 character that is going to GenCon?

[Hmm]

I don't yet. Charli will be up pretty high, but I can't bring myself to GM or play Signal of Screams... It will be interesting to see if Mu makes it that high. (She's the character receiving all the AP credit...)

Hmm

100% agree about Signal of Screams

[Billiard]

I should have a level 12 by GenCon - any chance they run specials multiple times so you get chance to GM and play?

["Dr." Cupi]

Nope, just the once at GenCon. Your other option is to find another convention to play/gm at.

["Dr." Cupi]

Hello again, just giving this a bump because I finalized some GenCon plans.

As the 11-12 tier has no pregens, an opportunity for a table is not guaranteed. This is why I'm poking around with this coordination. If you've got a lvl 11 or 12 SFS char and are going to GenCon, I'd love to coordinate to ensure that there is a table. If you've got a level 11 or 12 char and are not going to GenCon, but would like to hop in and introduce your character, c'om in. I's also love to see how many are up here and what builds people have run with.

[Billiard]

Well unfortunately it looks like I will be GMing the special so won't be able to play it at GEN CON. I am also tentatively going to GM it at another Con before that, so I will probably have to wait until a later Con in the Summer to actually play it. Right now I still have a level 10 and two level 9s, but I think I will have a 12 by August - not sure I will get one of the 9s to 11 by then though. I am playing in two APs and GMing another now so it all depends on the timing. Unless I can find another 7-10 scenario somewhere ...

[Styrofoam]

My Dead Suns group decided to continue after the AP. So no new AP credits for me. I have a character at lvl 10, with DS6 credit waiting at lvl 11. So just need 3 xp to get to 12.

[NightTrace]

Congrats on 12. I don't suppose you know how many credits you earned total from 1-12 do you? :P

[Jasmine Zylwarin aka R3D_3$7R!D]

I am also level 12, though I will not be getting to GenCon this year, so unable to coordinate for table organization.

["Dr." Cupi]

Welcome to the 12+ fold!

So, Jasmine, what about your build has been the most powerful?

[Thurston Hillman]

All you Level 12s better get together for #2-00... people are gonna need your help. :3

[Jhaeman]

A pre-gen Level 12 Obozaya could lend a hand! (hint, hint).

[Thurston Hillman]

Jhaeman wrote:

Certainly could, but there's also an element of risk involved with taking on what's at that high tier. And trust me, the scale of that encounter should be worth the effort! :D

I've been trying Thurston. I really hope that it gets off the ground at GenCon. It is pretty much all I want from GenCon, really.

[AtlasSniperman]

I have a level 8 who so desperately wants to get to 12 in time for 2-00 but I doubt that it'll happen

[Freedom Snake]

IDK how many tier 11-12 tables of 2-00 will be offered at Origins, but I will be GMing tier 11-12. I'm looking forward to studying and prepping that. I'm looking forward to seeing a full table of characters that high wreck face (or have their face wrecked if I know Thursty). I hope to see some of you there!

Sooooo, slot the Team Spirit boon for cheap Raise Deads. Got it. (Full disclosure: like Mr. Sniperman I too have a lvl 8 that is almost certainly not going to be lvl 12 in time. But if I'm lucky, maybe Gen Con...)

["Dr." Cupi]

GenCon 2019 is almost here. Any 11-12's out there that're gonna be there?

[Billiard]

"Dr." Cupi wrote:

Hopefully at least enough for 1 table since I am running 11-12 at GenCon. I have one level 12 (that played 9-10 tier at Orgins) and another that will be 12 after GenCon.

[Billiard]

Well we got our level 12 table up and running at Gen Con and they seriously kicked some Scoured God rear - except for that one operative that was forced to flee ...

The Tier 7-8 table I GM'd received a Spellcasting Aid token from "Dr." Cupi which literally turned the tide of a fight - you did good work, level 12s :D

["Dr." Cupi]

Oh yay! Would you look at that! Cupi does accidentally get things right from time to time.

Well, 'tis true we had a phenomenal team at 1 of the 2 11-12 tier tables (I don't know about the other table). We also rocked several space battles. Bein' 12 makes space combat even more interesting. It was a great time and a big thanks to Billiard for GMing my table!

So....any new level 12's out there?

[John Godek III]

I managed to get my second level 12 at GenCon (Soldier Juanito Esperanza Ricoli and Operative Bishop 2K7). Now working to level up my Envoy.

I was curious if there were other folks with multiple level 12s?

John AKA Billiard

[NightTrace]

I only have my poor Level 6 atm :P

[Noven]

Once I finish running Signal of Screams I will have my AP credit level 12 =)

[Poit]

Last Thursday, I and three others at my local game store reached level 12, and then we all played 2-00 together at a con this past weekend.

Three of us have been playing these characters together since level 1.

[John Godek III]

Congratulations!

["Dr." Cupi]

Indeed, congratulations!

[NightTrace]

My plan is to be in the club by Origins 2020. :D

["Dr." Cupi]

We are excited with you!

[John Godek III]

I suspect the highest level we'll have for characters by Origins could still be 13, though I have heard rumors of a 13-16 AP ...

[John Godek III]

We had a couple of my players hit level 12 last week. I am waiting for a couple of more to level before I run #2-14: Data Purge (9-12)!

[NightTrace]

Speaking of Origins...anyone else planning on being there in the L12 bracket? *cough*

["Dr." Cupi]

Yay! More 12s!

[John Godek III]

If I am physically up to it I plan to be at Origins for the new special. Unfortunately I have some health issues that may preclude traveling much this year.

That's totally legit. All the best to you :)

[Huckle Jim]

Level 13 here. You can play at level 12, but once you reach 13, that is it for a while. 2/3 of these credits however are Dming credits.

[John Godek III]

13 is the new 12! Right now I have a 13, a 12, and an 11 - looking forward to some higher tier scenarios!

["Dr." Cupi]

I'm 13 as well!

I am not holding my breath for 11-14 tier scenarios. Even I don't think that they are worth the creation efforts of balancing...yet. We are only starting season 3 (technically year 4).

[Charli Poshkettle]

If they sanction the upcoming high-tier 3 part AP, we'll have some higher-level play! However, without scenario support, it will still mean that SFS characters will stop at Tier 14 with the other chronicles left hanging.
