Hello, i am opening the thread to see if there would be interest on if anyone would like to join a online campaign. Due to the coronavirus my table group pretty much got disbanded and with one of them expecting a baby I don't know if we are ever going back to table gaming anytime soon. so I wanted to open this up to see if anyone would like to join our game we have started on discord and rolld20.
I am looking for 2 for now and that we might add more later.
We are at level 3 currently but by the time we will get recruitment done we will probably be 4th. so because the way its done the recruitment thread will be a little different. What I would like is the following to see if there is interest.
1. English primary language (due to us being on discord this will be necessary)
2. we are currently rotating between Sunday mornings (9 am-2 pm ish Central time U.S.), and Thursday evenings as a backup day if we cant get online Sunday . (6:30- 10:00 ish) every week. so you would need to be available.
3. currently there are three players I will give a brief background below and their role, race, and a couple of sentences to get a general idea of what is going on. this is a trial run on a AP before we are planning on recording and posting our online sessions much like the glasscannon podcast. (shoutout! great podcast if you have the time, they are truly masters of the their craft and living the dream.)
4. For the feel of the campaign it is closer to firefly and guardians of the galaxy. we are very Rule of cool, with a lot of re-skinning. we don't worry so much about descriptions as much as rules. to give a example a NPC has a mechanical arm that changes into tools to be used. (its the same as him pulling out a tool, and using it (move action to change, then standard to use and his hand cant be used for anything else, etc, but the flavor is so much better. he paid for the items his arm changes into.)
5. It would also be super awesome if anyone that is interested is in the fort worth/dallas area where if we do ever go back to table or get a chance to meet face to face would be a bonus.
Now onto the fun part; the campaign. We started with the first book of Attack of the Swarm only deciding after deliberation that the attack of the swarm was to railroady and didn't cover what we wanted in a Fictional Starfinder path (it was more of a Bug hunt campaign for those that liked starship troopers i would recommend it), so we did what was only natural we deserted our post at the first opportunity, lol. To travel the stars and explore and find new dangers and systems. I am roughly re-skinning Skulls and shackles campaign path because i thought that Space privateers in the dispora asteroid belt would be much more interesting so you might see and hear some names and places that might be a little familiar like squibbing a stolen starship and asteroids named after Islands in the book. Currently we are on absolom Station looking for our own starship. one was promised to us by the dockworkers guild if would would do a little favor for them and they would "lose" a Ship. One of the dockworkers went missing in a hanger that was run by a company called Galactic Driftdisk Incorporated. because he wasn't allowed in there the dockworkers guild needed mercs to go get him out (enter the PC's). the PCs found out that the dockworkers guild have been stealing supplies to make ends meet and take care of their own in a very middle finger to the rich corporations kinda way. along the way the party also was hired on to find a rich CEO daughter that was kidnapped. only to find out later that the CEO owns Driftdisc Inc and that the daughter ran away from home. When the PC's went to a Space junkie Rap bar to find her a heavy armed and armored group comes in a mass murders almost everyone in the Club. when the PC's try to report it they find out that the mercs that came into the bar had holo-tech that made them look like Shirrins. helping the woman escape and when interrogating the woman for why she ran away the PC's found out that the woman has a special power that allows her to enter the "drift" at will in any starship even though she has very basic control over it and it is imperfect. Not wanting to turn over the Daughter yet the PCs hid her in a storage area while trying to complete the dockworkers contract. when they get to the hanger the Pc's find out that large quantities of radiation has flooded the hanger and that hiding in the hanger is a very high tech DNA splicing center and that the CEO has teamed up with the Drow race to create super human Drow with weird powers. and that is where we last stopped at as of this post. It is currently speculated that Zillia (the daughter) might have had her genes spliced to give her powers and that the PC's might also try to splice their DNA too.
the following players are-
Thamor aka "Statikiller99" a lashunta envoy and science officers Thamor has the Iconic Theme on his character. Thamor originally volunteered for Duty on the planet of suskillion to fight the swarm. Well known from his streams he is a expert video game player of a team sport known as Galaxy Quest. (yes we like sci fi references in the campaign) he originally lead the party against the swarm only to find out that video games are not like real life and people get hurt by his decisions. when talking to his friend Cal who didn't volunteer for the swarm war he decided to help him out by taking his ship that they escaped the planet from the swarm with to absolm station. when he got there he let Cal leave the ship knowing that he wouldn't return. then when asked to check out something off ship. a Shapechanger took his identity and left the station with the Swarm ship. Currently Thamor just found out that the Fake Thamor is streaming on his feed more about the war and has branded him as a fake and for his followers and fans to harass him everywhere he goes.
Cal Buckson- a human witchwarper and now commander/captain of the party Cal didn't volunteer to fight the swarm he was press serviced when his escape pod landed on the planet. Cal is a little Emo in his look and feel he goes deep into thought and wants to plan everything. Currently cal is looking for a way off absolm station and to try looking for his lost family. however most recently with the discovery of Zillia Cal has found a bond with her, and while exploring the hanger something weird has happened. he received a message from himself from the future with a meetup place far outside the known universe.
Grommink- a Orc soldier and pilot of the group not much is known about grommink because he is a new character (when we decided our best option OOC was to desert rather than continue down a path no one liked, he decided to restart a character). the old character, a Vesk, wanted to fight the swarm too much and never would have deserted. Grommick family owns a engineering company but as one of the youngest does not stand to inherit or giving any help. his family escaped from the Drow when he was young. he was from a world that the Drow invaded and has a deep hatred for the race for which he was a slave for.
If anyone has any questions feel free to ask.

1) yes
2) can do
Based on your current composition and my enthusiasm for them, I would add a mechanic to your crew. I've got a few species ideas, but generally prefer to make final decisions so that a character introduction can be seamless. Ironing out how/when/where my character would meet the party would likely would be needed before character finalization.
5) I do not live in the area. I understand if this is a deal breaker.
My Discord is Roc#1401
no number 5 wasn't a deal breaker just a bonus, one of the players Cal lives in Colorado now and he has always called in to play at our table.
I currently have a mechanic NPC that I introed that is a lot like Cable. would you like to respec him? or would you prefer to create your own. he was just introed two sessions ago, so he is a blank slate besides harboring also a hatred of drow.
Currnenly his name is Droen Greybeard, Mechanic with advanced weapon alternate spec, he is either a half drow, or a Andriod with half drow alternate trait (I really just wanted the nanite feats for him, and haven't made up my mind yet. the PCs have not found out which, and I wanted it to be a mystery.) he is a merc that has worked with Grommik several times in the past for ease of working him in.
we have also just found several DNA cyro -chambers that have all dead people in it. I can easily make one be alive for a hook if you are interested in just doing your own character.
If either of those work for you we are going to play this Thursday due to mothers day and im ok for anything.
This is also very informal and I don't know how to proceed so would you like to listen in to a game before making your decision. or maybe a trial run with you RPing Doren? I want everyone to be as comfortable as possible.
I complelty agree, joining a good dnd group is like finding a shirt, it needs to fit just right. I expect us to meet this Thursday at 6:30, so far no one has said anything. And ill ping you on discord. ill update this thread if anything changes or if anyone else posts that they would like to see about joining or listening.
Ok saashaa we are playing on this sunday at 9:00, CT U.S. we were able to talk a old player of one of the groups we previously did to try this one out. so he will be joining I don't know what he will be playing as of yet. and do you want me to take down your Rolld20 email address if you want to check out the way I have our group setup? I think you will like how I track sidequests and quests using the handout file to track clues and possible leads. the PCs all have hidden ajenda's also that only they and I see that are tracked once they let me know what they are interested in.
