Last attempt to get a Signal of Screams game going (it was difficult to get enough players for a session recently). We are looking for around 1-2 regular players. Note that the current health situation might cause some disruptions.
Be aware that Signal of Screams is a horror AP.
Please note that only applications that generally follow the steps detailed in "How to apply" will be considered.
Game details:
FG License: GM has Ultimate
Game System: Starfinder
Time Zone: UTC+1 (sessions will take place on the weekend though to accommodate more timezones)
Day of week and time: Usually Saturday afternoon 1 PM UTC (some small adjustments might be possible)
Planned Duration & Frequency: 3+ hours, weekly (with some exceptions in case of holidays etc.)
Term: Long term (should we have enough reliable players - we've already played through Dead Suns and Against the Aeon Throne)
Text or Voice: Voice
Voice software used: Usually Teamspeak, Discord is a back-up
Roleplay & Combat mix: Usually we aim for a mix of both (though be aware that some parts are more heavy on RP, some more on combat)
Number of Players in game & needed: 1-2 regular players
Character starting level & equipment: The other characters are level 9 (45,000 starting credits, purchases of more than 40% of the PC's wealth or purchases with an item level PC's level +2 or higher should be discussed with the GM). Lower levels are of course also possible.
Character restrictions: In general, we'll follow the SFS guidelines (https://paizo.com/starfindersociety/additional). Exceptions are possible but should be discussed with the GM (any reasonable character options should be fine). There's simply too many options to manually check all of them.
Character background: At least temporarily, your character most likely is not having the time of its life due to being afflicted by a disease (though feel free to still be happy-go-lucky nonetheless). I'm intentionally keeping the description vague to avoid spoilers for book 1, if you are willing to be told more spoilers feel free to contact me.
Details of your scenario: Signal of Screams, The Diaspora Strain (2nd book). Please note this is a horror AP!
Infected with a sickness that threatens to turn them into twisted sadists, the heroes travel to the city of Cuvacara on the planet Verces to find the possible origin of their affliction! They soon discover that a sinister company [has a nefarious plan].
Current party composition: Currently one operative, one envoy/soldier, one mystic and one witchwarper. Please note not all players might be available every weekend.
Campaign management: Partly Fantasy Grounds, partly Obsidian Portal.
Requirements: You should have FG (free demo version), Teamspeak and Discord installed, a free Obsidian Portal account, a decent headset and push-to-talk configured. As it is higher level game, some experience with SF is highly recommended (can be substituted with 5e/PF knowledge though), FG newcomers are welcome.
Expectations: You (and your character) should be able to be part of a team. Conflict between characters is fine as long as everyone agrees to it. Don't be disruptive to the game and don't disrespect the other players (including the GM). Once you agree to attend a session, short term cancellations should be avoided if possible. There are of course times when important real-life issues interfere but if do know that you'll likely not be able to make it, please give another player the chance to attend.
How to apply: If you are reasonably sure that you can attend most weekends, either write me a PM or reply here, including
* your UTC offset so I can be somewhat sure you know when the game starts [be aware your UTC offset could change due to DST]
* a sentence about yourself and a short paragraph about your idea for a character background (consisting of more than a description of your class and race, if possible including their greatest fear)
* any other questions/comments/...
If you already know the plot of the later books of Signal of Screams be sure to mention that. As long as you can separate player knowledge and character knowledge it would still be fine. I might ask you to let the other players take the lead on discussions you know the optimum solution of however.
