Or culture instead of Accord, for Cayden’s sake.

 

[Ironuyh]

I think that Accord, Culture, and Technology will allow us a good set of opening buildings to choose from when we stabilize that we can start bolstering Economy and Magic with.

With the Accord, we can get a school, which brings us to 2 CUL and 1 MAG, the 2 CUL lets us do a Library, which would allow us to hit things that need 2 TEC like roads and other stuff. I do think that getting out of ECO debt as soon as we can matters, but if we can build a good baseline, then we can fix our weaknesses as we strengthen other things with some of the buildings that raise two stats.

Sounds good to me!

“…one of their dongles dingled with its dangle.”
I’m a little too scared to ask what that specifically means

 

[Evendur]

One of their penises went so deep and hard it messed up his Sonic Vocalizer. xD

 

[K-Fox]

Oh gods, off to a great start I see, lol.

 

[Evendur]

Oh gods, off to a great start I see, lol.

Both Cayden and I know exactly what he is and are very comfortable with it. xD

 

[Mosos]

Is this ap like pathfinder's kingmaker ap where me need to think about defending the colony, and arming a military?

 

[K-Fox]

I would say in-character it wouldn’t make sense to NOT have any defenses, regardless of if there’s large scale combat like in Kingmaker.

 

[Evendur]

Agreed.

 

[ShadowPlay]

This is very much like kingmaker in many ways - but large scale conflict is a bit off in the temporal horizon. The first steps will be to explore and settle the charter area. Defense will of course be a thing, and is somewhat implied when building things like Law Enforcement and Defences ;=

@ShadowPlay, does Cayden pick up on Ezri's jealousy? And if he does, is it jealousy that Cayden was getting pounded, or that he wanted a turn with the singer?

Also, there is a wayward "The" at the bottom of your post.

 

[K-Fox]

@ShadowPlay Also very minor thing but given Estelle has wings and couldn't wear one properly, I wagered to say her 'backpack' item is actually a dufflebag with some extra straps to secure it while running/fighting/etc.

Since Cayden does have Sense Motive trained, he does pick up on it. However, the source of his jealousy is not known. For all you know he could be jealous that Cayden can walk inheels without crutches.

TY - fixed

@ShadowPlay Also very minor thing but given Estelle has wings and couldn't wear one properly, I wagered to say her 'backpack' item is actually a dufflebag with some extra straps to secure it while running/fighting/etc.

No problem. I assume that in a world with wings on the back of ordinary folks, they would have something backpack-equivalent for people with wings.

"...if it's something that's on the table, I'm sure I could set you up with a brand new cybernetic leg in the near future. It is my specialty after all."

I seem to recall that there's some in game explanation as to why it hasn't been fixed yet (something akin to Joker from Mass Effect). But it's been a year or more since I closely studied the modules - I seem to remember that fixing it would require replacement of his spinal cord as well as new limbs - but I'm not 100% sure.

For now, he'll just be dismissive of the notion - after all, it's outside the current budget to do anything about.

 

[K-Fox]

Fair enough, but what kind of scientist would Estelle be to shy away from a challenge!? She could fix him, one day soon! We just need the resources

 

[Evendur]

"'Ey Doc, rather than fixin' me bad leg, why don'tcha give me a third one, like yerself?" (I don't know why he turned irish in my head xD)

 

[ShadowPlay]

I don't know why he turned irish in my head

The red hair??

 

[K-Fox]

Oh I mean, that’s way more easy to do! Remember though I don’t really like massively proportioned penises in RP… I think it’s kind of an immersion-breaker thing for me. *shrugs*

Could still give him a few more inches probably, but only if she thinks it’s medically safe!

 

[ShadowPlay]

As long as it's not the Mr. Studd XCV/19 implant from Cyberpunk 2077

Technically, you don't know how big his normal one is, lol.

I do remember, dun worry K-Fox

 

[ShadowPlay]

Instead of invasive or dangerous surgery, I assume that this could be used to add a few inches

Magic Items - Archives of Nethys: Starfinder RPG Database

 

[Mosos]

Where is the fun in that? Let's find the doctor a chainsaw to preform the surgery with.

 

[ShadowPlay]

Well - chainsaws for surgery isn't really an odd thing

Chainsaws Were Originally Invented to Help With Childbirth

If you think chainsaws were first invented to take down a swath of trees, think again. The real story is much more cringe-worthy and involves cutting bones during childbirth.

[Mosos]

True, but I wouldn't want one near my johnson.
