Tier 7-10, the subtier will depend on the players. Make sure to decide on a reasonable subtier.

Please note that depending on my Internet connectivity during the weekend (which I won't know beforehand), in the worst case scenario I might have to cancel the session on short notice.

A reminder that most countries should be in winter time right now, so double-check your UTC offset.

Please schedule around 4 1/2 hours for the game but bear in mind that as a higher-tier scenario it might run a little bit longer.

About the scenario:

A Starfinder Society Scenario designed for levels 7-10.

The Society learns of a potential connection to the Scoured Stars from a mysterious relic that ended up in the claws of an Absalom Station pawnbroker. The PCs must travel to a distant star system aboard the salvage vessel that first uncovered the relic. In the depths of the Vast, the legacy of the Scoured Stars unfolds as the PCs find themselves right in the middle of an interstellar war!

Content in Honorbound Emissaries directly follows-up on the events of Starfinder Society #1-99: The Scoured Stars Invasion, though playing the previous scenario is not required. Content in this scenario also contributes to the ongoing goals of the Second Seekers (Luwazi Elsebo) faction and to the ongoing year of the Scoured Stars storyline.

Technical details:

We will use Fantasy Grounds (I have an Ultimate license) and Teamspeak.

Steps before the game:

Make sure to both apply here as well as in the game calendar (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/calendar/index.xcp?id=3671), stating which character you'd like to play.

If you apply, make sure you send me your previous chronicle sheet of the character you want to apply this chronicle to (if you already have any chronicle sheet) either here or on Discord (Fantasy Grounds channel). If it is your first SFS game, I'll at least need your Paizo Organized Play # and your faction.

If you haven't already, also make sure to either build the character on FG yourself (and send it to me) or log in early enough so you can do so on game day.

Make sure you have updated Fantasy Grounds.

FG alias and Teamspeak server can be found under GM annnouncements in the game calendar.

Other notes:

Also make sure to track your purchases on the Inventory Tracking Sheet.

Be sure to apply on time (if you can make it) as the last games were rather full.

In your own interest, make sure the party is somewhat balanced level-wise.

Some boilerplate clarifications:

Please apply on the FG forums on both the game calendar as well as in the game thread (if multiple household members are playing, one person per household is sufficient). First, it's easier to tell how many spots are already filled that way. Second, the other players (as well as the GM) know what level and class to expect from your character (if you don't know yet, simply state TBD). Third, you'll get notified about any updates if you post in the game thread (at least about the first one). Fourth, it allows the GM to determine who applied first should it become relevant. Some exceptions might apply.

Also, please be sure to check the thread for new messages occasionally. You don't have to check each and every day or every few hours but please make sure to reply to any posts that do concern you in time. Should you remain unresponsive, I'll give the spot to a player that applied after you (as I won't know whether you are still interested in participating or not). Exceptions might apply, e.g. if you state beforehand that you won't be able to respond due to traveling.

If you apply but don't show up or drop out during the game without notice, in future games I might also give preference to other players who have a better track record of showing up. I am aware though that life and technical problems can always happen, so don't worry if you have a valid reason though.

These rules are not in place to prevent players from playing but in fact to enable players willing to play to actually do so. It's frustrating if I have to turn down players if it turns out they would in fact have been able to play.

I should be good to play with Volox, a level 4 Mystic. Chronicle, XML and Inventory Tracker to Follow.

Aha! I misread the calendar entry too quickly... 3-6 was number of players and not scenario level! In that case, Twixx is on tap and you have his xml, inventory log and last chronicle was from you!

I'd like to participate with a level-8 pregen. Probably the solarian, but might change if that better matches the party. I would credit the adventure to a 1st-level character that has no chronicle sheets yet (2361203-707 "Cabengo", Acquisitives).

Stephan: do you have the iconic characters as ready-made Fantasy Grounds characters or do I have to create it beforehand?

In general, they are built.

Two things to keep in mind though:

They are no effects added yet (attunement, ...), so that would still need to be done.

As the FG ruleset got updated, I have to re-check proficiencies and skills.

I'm not sure how to do that. Can you do that for me, or help me with it before the session? Thanks!

Twixx is on tap

What level and class is he/she? Could you update the calendar entry, please?

The server is up. Be aware there is a new FG alias.

It might be a good idea to count your Journey to the Scoured Stars segments.

For better or worse it did not pull any punches, though it was certainly getting close at times.
