I am looking to see if there is interest in doing a Starfinder Campaign, all official material will be accepted, however we will be in a homebrew setting.




The Premise




The premise is that there is a planet named Avalon IX created by the Paradiso Corporation known for designing and terraforming resort planets. Avalon IX was a part of their initial lines of planets. It had been doing good business over the past few years, but recently the starships going there are not reporting back and all other communication has been lost with the planet. Avalon IX was not out of the way, but it was on the main Drift pathways. Plus, it did allow anything other than ships in emergency or resupplying merchants to go there to not interrupt the clientele.

Thus you will be playing a crew sent to explore Avalon IX, find out what the matter is, and send communication back to Absalom Station in order to fix whatever the problem is. Paradiso is offering 10,000 credits for the restoration of communications and has fitted your ship with upgraded communications equipment to prevent equipment failure on your end.

This will be an adventure with lots of sexual possibilities, but those possibilities can be limited if the players so wish. Avalon IX is a paradise planet from the outside with all the usual beaches, tropical rainforests, non-hostile animals, edible plants with medicinal or substance related effects and pleasures all the body and mind could desire. In addition to that, it is all governed by an AI named Eve who seeks to care and maintain the planet, watch over the employees, and ensure that guests are always having a good time.




If interested, we are going to go with level 2 characters with all options that are available officially. The reason I am going with level 2 is so that it shows your characters are a bit more experienced, but they are not seasoned adventurers just yet. 2,000 Credits to augment what you will have gotten in character creation.

I voice interest, want play as half-elf envoy, with outlaw theme but he acts as if he is a aspiring icon. The charismatic scoundrel who had some 'financial interests' in the planet but since communications went out he goes to try secure his less legal earnings and interests. Joins the crew under false story of 'seeking his sister'.

Swordsman18

I am glad that I am getting interest on this.

Now this is going to be an adventure with sexual possibilities. I am more than willing to cater this adventure to the players. So do let me know what you are interested in seeing. And as a bonus if you could give an idea of what you want in terms of story versus smut, that would be great.

Ryu Wojin

I prefer more story than the smut honestly. Maybe like a 70% story and 30% smut. I need to brush up on my starfinder, but coming from being an expert on pathfinder, it shouldn't be too hard.

Could use some advice though. Is there an elequeivent to the pathfinder kinetisict? Or like an avatar kind of elemental bender?

Zaer Darkwail

Mystic is the spellcaster, rather flexible one (much depending on spheres picked). Technomancer does 'machine' based magic and Solarite wields sun/black holes as either weapon or armor. So kineticist/elemental caster could be possible with mystic but if want combat focus with element (sort avatar) then solarite is better. They can customize their solar weapon to be anything in shape and form.

I myself like higher amounts of smut but also like story so around 50% mix on both (or 60% story and 40% smut). In story wise I do like mystery solving in sci-fi setting, a investigation. But also good and honest combat as well and also intense social/negotiation situations. That's more what I want for my own char though; as I build my char as charismatic scoundrel/con artist outlaw so I like play bit in the underworld/criminal influenced scenarios where you need connected and know things in underworld to survive without getting shot in gang territory (or meeting crime lord to get a deal or get information).

So overall if speak story content percentages, 25% combat, 20% social and 15% puzzles/investigation. +5% to combat and puzzle/investigation if go up 60% in story content vs 40% smut. Smut wise I am fine most everything, consensual and non-consensual kind.

Ryu Wojin

Is it like... Spellcasters like the first couple of levels are pretty dunked? Cast your 3 some spells and you're useless for the day? I really appreicated dnd5e's cantrips. Feels wrong to be a mage who then goes to a crossbow after spending 3 spells XD. Going to look into those classes.

Zaer Darkwail

Well, as mystic you in 2th level got 2 spell slots (plus ones provided by wisdom modifier). You get healing touch (5 x class level amount healing) and able to commune telepathically once per day per given individual and get insight bonus to skill checks. But main thing what defines you us your connection; source which grants you magical power. It grants additional spell known and powers in every odd level. Example Devastator connection paints you as mystic who embraces nihilistic values of seeing no value in existence while seeing value in nothingness, so thus driven destroy all existence (slowly, piece by piece). In first level granting you ability gain buff when you slay a foe (choose what kind of buff).

While Xenodruid channels power of it's environment, sort sci-fi druid. First level power allows you commune at-will with any creatures of animal type and use social skills on them. In 3th level you gain grasping vines (does what it sounds) by spending resolve point (resolve points are valued resource for activating powerful class abilities). So far what I could see there was no 'elemental' in Mystic connections. Only close ones related to environment were Xenodruid and Star Shaman (and star shaman case it was not fire, air or such stuff but more void and stars).

So my friends, I would like for people to use this google sheet that was made by the community. And then link me through PM to it.

Beyond that, I would like for people to at least post here:

Male half-elf envoy, outlaw theme. Need finish google documents for him but intent to do so today.

Muse

  I never did get to use my LAshunta teen novelist concept... 

  But do we need someone skilled in engineering more than we need muscle?

Officially interested in trying this out.  I bought the rulebook when it first came out and never really got to try it.  Have an idea for a solar though.

*Smiles to Velatha* 

Okay, you do the Solarin.  I'll find a mechanic or technomancer idea.  :)

If you want play novelist/envoy, I can do engineer/muscle :)

I might would be interested if it isn't full already and depending on the type of smut being included.

Zaer Darkwail

Not full so far as I know. Smut quality not exactly sure but think sci-fi stuff (so possible alien/tentacles maybe if preferences okay for such).

Like I stated earlier in the thread, I am more than happy to make this suited to the players, just let me know what you want. It is most definitely not full.
