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

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

Please schedule around 4 1/2 hours for the game.

About the scenario:

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

After the Starfinder Society made first contact with the morlamaws of Arniselle, the walrus-like people of that world have worked alongside several Pact Worlds organizations to explore their homeworld and other planets beyond. Recently, a group of radical morlamaws was discovered to have been working with an individual opposed to the Society's interests. The PCs travel to Arniselle to follow-up on this group's activities and link it back to the mysterious ysoki known as Datch. The truth behind these morlamaws is beyond comprehension, and threatens all life on Arniselle and beyond!

Scenario tags: Faction (Exo-Guardians)

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=4778), 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've already played this one, bit if we're going for high subtier, I might be able to replay.

Alright, with that all spots could be taken (dependent on the subtier).

@Talen: What level is Twixx? I need to know which subtier we're going for, as I won't replay in low subtier.

His last Chronicle may have taken him to 8, I need to verify, but I dont think that will push us into the next tier.

If the last chronicle is correct, he should be level 8, so depending on the last character, (if any) it could be either subtier.

I assume with this group I don't have to point out the advantages and disadvantages of playing up or down.

I'd also be happy to run a higher level pre gen and apply it later if that pushes us over and let's malkavian and play

I'm pretty sure they haven't released pregens higher than 8 yet. :)

So, if I bring a 9th level character, that would bring us to APL 8.5, so possibly high subtier, which is of course quite a dangerous thing to do. If you guys are confident enough and want to to do it (especially the 8th level characters), I'm happy to join with a level 9. But don't worry too much about me. It would be a replay anyway, so I'll just step back if you prefer low subtier.

Id be happy to run either way - Ill just make sure I gear up if we run at the higher tier (gear recommendations for an 8th level ysoki operative outlaw appreciated)

gear recommendations for an 8th level ysoki operative outlaw appreciatedWeapons: Thunderstrike Sonic Pistol, Advanced Semi-Auto Pistol, maybe put a Called fusion on them if you like (will be a bit more useful on the semi-auto, as physical damage needs to be magic to affect incorporeals).
Armor: D-Suit III (unless that would only increase your AC by 1 or 2, then it's not worth the credits)
Armor Upgrades: Jetpack (maybe Hydrojet to exchange in watery situations), Electrostatic Field, Thermal Capacitor, Sonic Dampener, Haste Circuit (of course, you won't be able to use all of them. Just pick those you think you'll need most).
Augmentations: Dragon Gland, A Mk1 and a Mk2 personal upgrade, maybe Speed Suspension, Climbing Suckers, Dermal Plating (again, just pick those you really like for your character).
