Murder in Metal City PbEM (SF2E)

Search this Thread:

I'm running a Starfinder 2E game via email and while I had 4 interested players at announcement we've only got 2 now. The 3 of us left (perhaps more importantly, me as the GM) are all new to Starfinder 2E so we'll all be learning the ropes as we go. Now, the 3 of us are not new to Pathfinder or D&D or running games online, just SF2E, so you can rest assured that we know how to keep a game running.

To be clear, this game will be played over email with discussion and rolls on Discord. It will not be here on the Paizo boards. I'm just recruiting here since this seems the most likely place to find SF2E players.

We have a ysoki operative and a vesk solarian and would like to add at least 2 players to get the game going. If you're interested, I'd love to see some character concepts to show to the 2 remaining players.

Thanks for reading!

I have some interest. It's been a long time since I've looked at Starfinder, I would have to review it. I usually enjoy playing spellcasters of some sort.

I'd be interested in working up a contemplative mystic. Give me some time to work on it.

Glad to see a couple of people interested! I'll tag one player who's active here on the boards in case you want to collaborate.

I play the Vesk Solarian. I'll be checking this thread periodically (whenever I check my ongoing forum games). :)

Checking in to see if anybody's come up with a concept yet or has any questions?

I'd be interested in creating a character for this (assuming this is not part of the PFS system). I've been playing SF2 and PF2 for almost a year.

What ancestry/class characters do you already have, so I can create someone to complement the party? It should only take me a day or so to create, as I am retired and can devote what time I choose to such things.

How do the e-mail posts and the Discord elements interface? I have played PBP on Discord although I did not like it as much as the Paizo boards.

We have a ysoki operative and a vesk solarian (my char) so far.

Discord is mainly for OOC discussions and dice rolls. Email list is for in-character posts, usually appending an OOC tag for what your actions are.

Before I craft a concept, I'd like to know what the starting level is?

Temp(Transgalactic Emissarial Mechanoid Peacemaker) remembers a fragment of his past life. A neural holographic memory flashes through Temp's positronic matrix. A negotiation is playing out before him, where he speaks to a grand assembly of many races who all listen to his every word. Temp's mind snaps back into the present.

Temp looks around the dark and filthy corridor of this disgusting raider. Organic races are just so repulsive and foul. Temp thinks. He heads to the cockpit. It was the android's turn in the pilot seat. Temp stares in un-expressed rage at the syntho-porkrind-niblins covering the pilot's chair. Temp faces his right palm at the culinary chaos. A small turbo-fan blows away the debris.

Taking his seat, he thinks, I wonder what caused that stolen memory to return?

Sorry, I've been busy. I'll get back to my contemplative mystic.

Okay, here is Eipi. He's a Contemplative - one of the floating brains from Akiton. But he's not quite like the others. His body is more than a withered wisp - he actually has some muscle between his bones and skin. He shows this off with skintight armor. He also has a pistol, club and knife that are basic and simple, without any electronics.

Thoughtsense 30 Feet (mental, occult) You gain thoughtsense as a vague sense with a range of 20 feet. This enables you to determine when a creature is within range, though this sense detects only thinking creatures; a creature that’s unthinking or otherwise immune to mental effects can’t be perceived using your thoughtsense. This doesn’t give you the ability to read or understand their thoughts.

Digital Assessment! (Directive, Envoy) A quick check of your records and local infospheres lets you quickly
disseminate information to your allies. Choose a creature within 100 feet and Recall Knowledge about the target.
When you succeed at identifying your target with Recall Knowledge, you note a resistance or immunity in the
creature's defenses in addition to any other benefits. Lead by Example If you used two actions, you Strike the
target. You and your allies gain a +1 circumstance bonus to AC against attacks made by the target until the start
of your next turn. If the target has the tech trait, it must attempt a Fortitude save against your class DC. On a
failure, the target becomes glitching 1. The target is then immune to Digital Assessment for 1 hour.

Get 'Em! (Directive, Envoy) You single out an enemy for you and your allies to focus your attacks on. Select an
enemy within 60 feet that you can see. You and your allies gain a +1 status bonus to attacks against that target
until the beginning of your next turn. Lead by Example If you used two actions, Strike the target. You gain a
status bonus to the damage roll equal to your Charisma modifier. Regardless of whether the Strike hits, you and
your allies gain a +1 status bonus to damage on subsequent Strikes made against the enemy until the start of
your next turn. Increase the damage by 1 at 5th, 10th, 15th, and 20th levels.

Additional Feats Digital Diversion, Multilingual, Networked Android, Quickened Processor, Size Up

Additional Specials Constructed (Android), Envoy Directives, Leadership Style (Infosphere Director)

I've got an Astrozoan Operative (Skirmisher). I put the character details in this profile even though we won't be using the Paizo boards.

Awesome, glad to see there's some interest! I'll take a look at the sheets. You might want to think about how you would know an Anacite academic who works at Polytechnica studying First Ones relics.

Eipi is an expert in fieldwork. Besides his medical background, he also knows survival. He could easily have been on an expedition to recover some relics.

Qyra is an astrozan who might be researching what ze can learn of the First Ones, who it is suspected by some may know the origin of zir ancestry.

A dereliction recovery crew, including Temp, were hired previously by [Anacite academic].

A cargo ship rumored to have First One relics, whose crew had suddenly gone silent and which ship had lost its comm signal, was lost near a habitable moon. Temp and his team had found that the ship had landed in a coniferous valley. Pine trees were flattened from the large ships emergency landing...

<Memory Deletion>...

"Thank You for your satisfactory service. Please check your BinaryToken account to verify reward payment." says [Anacite academic]

Temp's sensors do not detect his old teammates... Their names and faces start fading from his memory. "Did I arrive with anyone?"

OK I'll send invites to the Discord in PMs. Glad to get some new players!
