Additionally, if people want, they can tell me (example) "I want to play a Xenoseeker Theme Dwarven Exocortex Mechanic" or "I wanna play a butt-kicking Vesk." and I'll create the character for you as an option. The only real restriction I'm going to make is that we have to have PCs for each of the Starship Roles. Starship combat really breaks down if you don't have the proper skills.
Details of your scenario: The PCs are new recruits of the Starfinder Society, just enroot to Absalom Station, the core of the Pact Worlds, via the shuttle Okimoro. Are they destined to become the Society's new champions, or a small footnote in the annals of time? Dead Suns is Paizo's (first) official Adventure Path for the Starfinder game, and so far they have published 3 of the 6 adventure path books. By the time we finish the first, they'll likely have the 4th out, and by the time we get there. they'll probably have the last 2 done.
We will be using the wonderful extension and modules from Samarex, and probably will switch over to the official Ruleset when it's released. I will be inputting the AP myself. My home internet is pretty bad, so I will be running the game via a Hamachi server from the local library. This restricts the time I can run the game, so please apply only if you can commit to be on time and available at least 3 play days a month.
About me: I've been GMing since the 70s, mostly for family and local groups in the early stages, but have been running online games for the past 6+ years as the local groups have moved on. I've been running on Fantasy Grounds for about 2 years, and have a pretty good grasp (although I'm always learning new things.) I ran Pathfinder Demos for Paizo at GenCon last year, and am thus very familiar with (at least the basics) of the game system; although having run Pathfinder since the alpha playtest I might occasionally get the two mixed up. I tend to play the rules pretty much as they're written/intended with few house rules. For Starfinder, I likely will just go with what Paizo has written except when we get to an area not covered by the rules. I enjoy roleplaying, and prefer that players are engaged both in and out of combat.
