Time for Starwars

This Post is Majesticaly approved

While talking today with our newest member told me he is in need of players and runs a Starwars group and would like to assimilate us a bit. Since Norby will be AFH for a while this would be the best time for him to see if we all mash up and make nice potatoes.

Now if he likes he can post his hello below if he doesn't make his own thread

Thank you for allowing me to talk about this topic.

I would like to give you a chance to learn more about the Star Wars world that we run in.

The time line of the game is set two hundred years before the battle of Naboo and the rise of the Empire. During this time, the Republic and the Jedi Order are at their peak of power and popularity. For them nothing could go wrong. This story is not about either down fall or their corruption. This is a story of a small band of Jedi's and their allies quest to find the hero's path.

This game is a game of Heroes, I do not allow for any dark side or evil type Characters. Though the nature of some type of Characters may appear to be evil, their heart could not. So I am more then willing to discus in private any ideas you might have. All new player characters will come in at level one or three levels below the average level of the group. The current average level of the game is two meaning that all new characters will be coming in at level One.

The game location is on the world of Reia (A made up world) deep in the wild regions of space weeks of travel time from the nearest recorded planet. The world suffered a major catastrophic event a few thousand years ago which nearly wiped out all life on the planet. In time life returned to one small continent and progressed at a very slow pace. Currently on the world, as a whole, the Culture is just reaching a point where they can build and use works of iron. The Church as a whole is slightly higher then most other Kingdoms. There is a heavy Star Wars Twist as the Priests of the church are all force adepts and sees the force as God's will.

The party's mission is to prevent a civil war that is just on the horizon without upsetting the cultural development of the world. This mission is to teach the party to be able to work without direct support of the Order/Republic and to respect the host nation's culture.

I have some ideas on how a standard Star Wars Character could end up where they are within the world. Or I am open to other ideas that you might have. Please just let me know.

if and when im able to come and play ill be playing another gorram duros pilot. gonna keep doing it till i feel its right. that is of course if its ok with your game michael.

Thank you for your comments.

The world is made up of mostly Humans (%85) and the rest of the population is called simply the Damned.

The Humans consider themselves pure and in "God" image while they see the Damned twisted and cursed by God for the sins which caused God to unleash his wraith upon the world.

If you wish to be a standard Star Wars Class/race, then the idea I was thinking was that you and your shipmate were trapped on this world for one reason or another. And you have all been forced to learn to survive without getting yourselves killed.

I am still open to other ideas.

I have thought about this idea early this morning. Pick a normal Star Wars (Non Jedi) Class and I can pretty much fill in the details of why you are here. You might be from this world with the chance to venture out from your home world in to the world of the "Gods" or stranded on this world by a ruthless Black Marketer. Either or, I am sure we together could find a reason behind just about anything.

I do have an opening for a Female Young Noble by the name of Princess Lyta Arber. Her background and current story makes her a critical role for this adventure. She was raised on this world and knows nothing of the Star Wars world. This role is prefect for someone that has never played Star Wars but has D&D experience.

I can work one on one with anyone on ideas for their Characters. So far two of my players are very excited about meeting the group. However as I talked to Majestic, I did warn him that I lack the ability to run very large groups. I tend to cap my games around 6-7 players. I can run if need be up to 9 comfortably. In the past I have ran larger groups but learned that I had players that would be left out of the 'action' at times. This was not fair to them, so that is the reason why I cap my games.

Sounds like it all could be a lot of fun. I'll work on some ideas either tonight or tomorrow as far as a character goes and send them in a message/email.

how do you want us to roll or would you like point buy?

This way we can get the base feeling of the character and you can ive the backgrounds to us.

I would prefer that you use points. However, if you wish to roll. Then that will be fine as well. Dice rolls will be done on game night. But I will not let bad dice rolls kill a character concept.

In all truths, it would be best for all players to use the point system with only one exception. in stead of using the normal 25 points as shown in the Star Wars Core Book. Please use the amount of 35 points instead. This is to reflect your destiny to be apart of the hero's path.

Please bare in mind that all Characters will have to have two important parts of their background. One they were born on this world and have only limited skills/feats (which will be balanced when/if your character wishes to leave the world with the party) or you were trapped on this world meaning you were part of a larger group that is no more. The party could be your only means off the world.

If you choose the later, then you might be linked up with other pc's because space travelers to this world is extremely rare! More so, you would have been trapped here for some time. Those wishing the later will be worked out together once the I know how many wish to select this role. Do not forsake the challenges in running a character from a world like this in the Star Wars world.

Hey if it is all possible, I would really like to see all Character concept ideas prior to the game. You can email them to me or call me on my cell (386) 566-5270

I have a PDF of the Star Wars Character sheets if you need them. I am not sure if I can upload them here or just email them to who ever wants them. Please let me know what you all would like.

But most importantly I do need concepts so I can have an idea of what kind of PC's I will be working with and where I need to focus.

Please contact me if you can.

Mike

I did get that character sheet up for anyone that would like to take a look at it. It is in the files area of this board.
