All I have when I press the Rockeater PC character is the bio tab

[Interus]

The way permissions work, you can assign editing and viewing to different people. Mesa has apparently made the sheets viewable to everybody I think, which allows people to see the bio's, but obviously hasn't made them editable by everybody. You can't assign individual permissions to somebody who hasn't joined the game yet, and it's likely that she just doesn't know who you are to assign the character to you. There's only one person that's actually listed in the players who's unaccounted for, so I can guess who you are, but it might be easier for Mesa if you either introduce yourself in the games chat so she can link the sheet to your name, or change your display name for this game specifically under the settings tab, the gear on the right. For example, I changed my name to Interus, to match my name here, even though you might notice there's no Interus on the player list.

That's what happened, but that issue is resolved now.

Project Phoenix: Week 0 (July 4th 2018)
This is it. The Rakoid system, where the Corona Station floats in deepspace, between the system's many worlds, moons and asteroids. You are in the Shatterspace now, beyond the relative safety of Drakman's Line, which the Milky Way peoples swore not to let any Andromedan vessel go past during the great war that has now ended.

You are not just another star pilot, miner, soldier, engineer or colonizer - you arrive here under the banner of Project Phoenix, ready to raise these ruined worlds from the ashes of the war, and bring back their greatness to them, by gun or by welder.

Get yourself comfortable around the Corona Station, your new home away from home, but stay vigilant - alerts will start being broadcast to you from across these broken sectors, and it is your duty to respond to them, and provide safety and prosperity to the endless species which inhabit and roam this realm of our Galaxy.
Good luck, and remember - Project Phoenix counts on you.

From Rakoid III-b, Rakoid: "A large object of unknown origin has crashed onto the moon's surface, 150-some kilometers away from a research facility. Does not appear to be a spaceship, requires further investigation." (Class X)

From Rakoid IV, Rakoid: "A pirate outpost was detected within an asteroid field. It must be destroyed and the pirates be brought to justice. Expect resistance." (Class 0)

From Sai Prime, Sai: "A group of Saikin crew members have mutinied and seized control of a Dominator-class spaceship. All contact with the ship was lost. It must be located, the mutineers brought to justice, and the ship returned to a starport." (Class 1)

None...Yet. But this is where mission reports, as well as notable downtime events (such as a character creating an extraordinary item) will go.

The station also contains other areas without strict mechanical functionality (living quarters, lobby, maintenance rooms and such).
Over time these can/will be upgraded, and downtime activities/roleplay can be performed in this thread as well as on roll20.

(No guarantee this will stay consistently weekly, or that the format doesn't change, but we'll figure it out as we go along I guess.)

I'm guessing "Class X" means "unknown" or "really hard", so the other two missions look more attractive for a first outing. The class 0 mission looks more combat heavy and straight-forward, while the class 1 is probably a bit more complicated. My character isn't much of a direct combat type, but the class 0 mission would possibly be a better intro IMHO, since straight forward is exactly what we need to get started.

Any thoughts on the session time/date? (I don't see anything mentioned about that) For me, just about anything will work, my schedule is *really* flexible.

[Interus]

I think Class X was a developing situation, there's a handout on alert levels on Roll20. Basically, it's one where there's not enough information to assign it a more specific number. I'm a lot more particular about when I can play, but that's why I joined a west marches game anyway. My schedule doesn't really allow me to say I'm available at the same days every week. If the timing doesn't work out that often, I'll still try to do some downtime stuff so people aren't surprised I exist when I do get in a mission.

All of those alerts look interesting to me. A dice roll suggests I vote for the pirate outpost though, if that's how we're deciding. Obviously I don't think it should count if I can't be there.

[milo christiansen]

Ahh, the alert level handout is new since I last looked, thank you for pointing it out. Looks like I was mostly right in my guesses, except "X" is for "unknown". If most everyone can make the first session it may be interesting to live dangerously...

[Mesa]

Naturally I forgot that campaign forums on Roll20 were a thing.
Might be worth using these - both for the roleplay and downtime stuff, but also for organizational stuff.


(Though I will still be posting updates to here for the sake of it, but still.)

[Mesa]

Alright, starting to set things up over on the campaign forums - re-posted the report #0, and made a scheduling thread. More stuff coming soon too (maybe).

[Mesa]

A week later than intended, the first session happened yesterday - and here is a report (though the format is probably not going to be weekly now - either in real-time, or in-universe time, for various reasons, so just expect them whenever a mission happens, though with the goal of them being single-session, it'll probably be after each session).



Project Phoenix: Report #1 (July 15 2018)

Spoiler: Reports & highlights (click to show/hide)

Alert report: Rakoid IV, Rakoid: "A pirate outpost was detected within an asteroid field. It must be destroyed and the pirates be brought to justice. Expect resistance."


A group consisting of Samson-2718, Vel'Naris, Iskander Barca and Tau were sent after a pirate ship after it was seeing flying into the asteroid belt on the outskirts of the system. Inside the base, insignia of a group called Aorta were found, which according to the captured saurids are somewhat of a cult, who lure innocent people in with prospects of a well-paying job, who then go on hunts to either conscript more such people into their cult, or kidnap them, with the goal of draining them of their blood, which is then used to power Aorta's unique blood-powered machinery.


Not all the members who used the Rakoid base as their own were captured - a couple, including their leader, escaped after the Corona group went in to investigate, and another few left going for another hunt, and have not returned to the base since.
According to the capturees, their leader is a saurid man under the name of Ceser, however his backstory or current whereabouts are unknown.


Apart from the capturees, equipment and copious amounts of blood, a kidnapped Saikin woman was found and rescued by the team, who lost a dangerously high portion of her blood and is now in a critical state, in the station's medical bay. A message was sent to Sai Prime, and a group of medical professions are scheduled to arrive on the station, and take care of the woman.
The blood containers found in the base have been since transported into the station, where they now remain in a refrigerated section of the cargo bay, to be later transported to a blood bank.
Another team has been sent to refurbish the base, especially if the remaining Aorta pirates choose to return to it.

[/size]From Rakoid III-b, Rakoid: "A singular lifeform was detected around the crash site of the unidentified object. No contact has been made with it yet, and it has not moved away from the location since the landing. Contact must be made, but caution is advised if the creature turns hostile." (Class X)From Sai Prime, Sai: "The Dominator ship is still under Saikin mutineer control, and it continues to pose a threat to ships coursing through the region. Another Project Phoenix squad was sent in to investigate, but contact with them was lost once they entered the ship." (Class 1)From Luari II, Luari: "A spaceship transporting valuable minerals has crash-landed on a nearby planet. The crew must be rescued and as much of the materials as possible be salvaged. Caution and urgency is advised however, it's unknown how many survived the crash, or in how much danger they are currently." (Class 1)
