I'll tentatively schedule this game. Should there be less than four players 24 hours before the game, I'll leave it up to the players whether they want to add pregens or reschedule the session.

Tier 7-10, the subtier will depend on the players.

Make sure to both apply here as well as in the game calendar (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/calendar/index.xcp?id=6186), stating which character you'd like to play.

Please schedule around 4 hours for the game.

We will use either Teamspeak or Discord for this game (TBD).

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.

Written by: Vanessa Hoskins

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

Technical details:

We will use Fantasy Grounds Unity (I have an Ultimate license) and Teamspeak (Discord as a backup).

Steps before the game:

If you apply, make sure you let me know your Paizo Organized Play #, character # 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 information 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.have been able to play.

I'm in. Aurora hasn't hit 7 yet; so I will run a pregen (TBD depending on which gap needs filled).

I have 3 characters within level range - Soldier 8, Solarian 9, and Envoy 10. I’m leaning towards either the Solarian or the Envoy

Looks like two or three players (depending on whether Robb still signs up).

Do you want to add pregens to fill out the table or do you want to reschedule?

Assuming Robb is a go; I would be okay playing with 3 PC's if Robb and Loki are? Otherwise; let's postpone.

Alright, looks a session tomorrow then.

Do people prefer Teamspeak as regular or Discord for this one?

I haven’t used Teamspeak before, but I can easily download it

In shouldn't be too tricky but Discord may be better in that case.

Is everyone on the FG Discord or the Organized Play Discord?

stephan_

The server is up.

It actually looks like have may have four players.

Any last preferences on Teamspeak vs Discord?

If everyone has Teamspeak installed I'd stick with Teamspeak.

If anyone does not have Teamspeak installed yet let me know and we'll switch over to Discord.

I've got both, so I'll be fine with either.

Any interest in SFS this weekend?

I know one player will not be able to make it.

Options are

2-08: The Stumbling Society, Part 2: Sangoro's Gifts (5-8), replays available

1-19: To Conquer the Dragon (5-8)

3-06: Rise of the Vault Lord (7-10), this one runs long

[these ones are likely dependent on the availability of another person]

Intro #2: For the Factions (1-2)

4-08: Precious Cargo (1-4)

and some older 3-6s.

On another note: Any interest in a Starfinder one-shot The Great Grav-Train Robbery on the weekend of November 11th to 14th or PF2 one-shot Head-Shot the Rot on the weekend of October 29th to 31st (double AcP for both). It would be best if I know about these two by Sunday.

My availability this Saturday is a bit limited, but I do have time on Sunday. For 2-08, 1-19, and 3-06, I would have to check if I have a character in the level range (which also depends on which subtier we would go for).
I can definitely play Intro 2 or 4-08.

stephan_
October 4th, 2021, 17:10
Based on the responses so far, Sunday may be possible.

I'll let you know about whether it would be the 5-8 ones or the 1-2/1-4 ones once I hear back from one other person.

[I don't see 3-06: Rise of the Vault Lord (7-10) working in that timeslot.)
