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

Please note that I may have to switch to 2-04 or 2-18 on short notice if I don't receive the pdf scenario in time.

Be aware the current health situation unfortunately causes some unavoidable unpredictability (Internet bandwidth, ...) and may also cause this game to fill up rather rapidly.

Some UTC offsets may have changed recently (USA, Canada, ...)!

Please schedule around 4 1/2 hours for the game (higher tier scenario).

About the scenario:

A Starfinder Society Scenario designed for levels 7-10 (subtiers 7-8 & 9-10).

There's no time to lose when a mysterious servant of the goddess known as Grandmother Rat offers the Society a glimpse into the history of its current foe. Following the novice assassin through a previously secured portal to the Plane of Shadow, the Starfinder agents must contend with the most devoted servants of the goddess of rats and assassins, Lao Shu Po, as they make their way to the only person who knows the history of the mysterious ysoki known as Datch.

Scenario tags: Faction (Second Seekers [Luwazi Elsebo])

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=4126), 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 announcements 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 signed up, but may have to drop, depending on other signup conflicts and how the schedule works out. I should know soon.

Dyzx, Shirren Mystic/9

I would like to join as well, this is my first SF game (and on FG) and may need assistance building a character. What do I need?

EDIT: sorry, miscalculated time zones, it may be a bit too late for me.

ElderSkeith - this is a Starfinder Society (SFS) game and an upper tier scenario in the setting of Organized Play (recorded games/chronicle sheets). So, the only option would be to use an 8th-level pregenerated character. If you have never played Starfinder before, you should connect with the Stefan (GM) to see if he can help you orient with whatever pregen you decide to use.

I would like to play as Opalara Starblade, elf operative (hacker) 9.

I'm in as well. I'll have to see which character I'll play, depending on the subtier we're shooting for.

Thank you, I'll ask him.

I'll send a DM, though be aware level 7-10 scenarios are not the most newcomer friendly ones (level 1-4 games would be better). And yes, the only option would be a pregen under these circumstances.

If this is your first game with me, please send me your latest chronicle (if you do have one; contact details on the game calendar page). Also please let me know whether you already have your character built or whether you need the server up before the game.

Also with this all spots filled I believe, unless anyone drops out.

Otto wants to play!

If I didn't misunderstand something, I think one player dropped out, so I'm accepting Otto for now.

Thanks.

In the meantime one advance warning: I had some trouble with Internet bandwidth during the evenings (for obvious reasons).

Edit: The good news is that the scenario pdf arrived, the bad news that my Internet has been atrocious the last two evenings.

Just a quick note that my Internet has been slowed down considerably during the last evenings. So while I'm expecting it to be sufficient for the session (without GM sounds) there is unfortunately the risk of technical problems.

Sorry - I have to resign since I moved very far up the waiting list tonight (I might have been #5 or 6 with low odds) in another session on to the active table, but there were numerous drops. Hopefully, someone can replace Dyzx.

I have played SFS before, but characters are lower tier. I'd like to join up with an 8th level pregen.

Also, I have the Standard license but only just got it recently; I haven't done a full online game with FG before, but I've reviewed the tutorial and I think I've got a handle on things. I can send you my SFS number and XML sheet.

Alright, contact information in the game calendar under Technical details.

If anyone needs a pregen prepped, please let me know in advance.
