Fly Free or Die! (PbP Starfinder campaign)

About the adventure

This is the story of a crew of scoundrels, rogues, and misfits trying to survive in a galaxy where everyone has a price. This isn’t a fairy tale story about saving the galaxy; these heroes work for a living. Honestly, they’d never call themselves heroes, and their integrity is constantly tested. This is the story of a starship crew that goes from rags to riches... but then to ruin and revenge... This is your story... This is an asynchronous Play-by-Post Campaign. Players will utilize Discord channels for both in-character and out-of-character responses and will use Roll20 for tracking meta-game elements such as maintaining the character sheet and rolling dice and such.

How to prepare

You will need logins for Discord (for the bulk of communications for play) and Roll20 (for character sheet usage and tracking rolls). During the Session Zero time period which will last until we obtain at least three players, fees will be set to $0. That time will be utilized for character creation.

What I provide

a bundle of holdings worth of goodness from Paizo and many other resources...

Gameplay details

Session Zero is for character creation and reviewing campaign themes and can be separate Voice meetings with each Player in Discord as needed. Players will be expected to respond in a timely but reasonable manner. Combat and social encounters will obviously be micromanaged by the GM to some extent if a player cannot respond in a timely manner with sufficient notice. Players will be charged weekly but no charge will accrue if a Player requires an extended absence and is able to provide fair reasonable notice (based on the circumstances of course --- emergencies happen). Roll20 will not be used for tactical movement or such (although will be used for some visual aids but the majority of those will be through Discord). Think of Discord as being your "in-character" narrative responses and Roll20 as being your character sheet and dice rolls. In Roll20, you roll the dice for your attack ("roll 1d20+mods") but in Discord you "fire your plasma rifle at the monster's torso after he lunged at you".

How will character creation work

Session Zero is for character creation and reviewing campaign themes and will be separate Voice meetings with each Player in Discord. Exceptions can be made as needed. Players will be expected to respond in a timely but reasonable manner and the GM will utilize a Google calendar for maintaining response times. Combat and social encounters will obviously be micromanaged by the GM to some extent if a player cannot respond in a timely manner with sufficient notice. Players will be charged weekly but no charge will accrue if a Player requires an extended absence and is able to provide fair reasonable notice (based on the circumstances of course --- emergencies happen). Roll20 will not be used for tactical movement or such (although will be used for some visual aids but the majority of those will be through Discord).
