Just a crazy though as I bang out some notes for a game - has anyone done duty in EotE, and how did it work out?
I dont mean that the players are rebels and outlaws at the same time, I mean - lets say that these outlaws work for a criminal orgiinzation (like, for example, Black Sun). In the course of their adventures, the players do things that benifit their crime boss overlords - eliminate rivals, install dons and vigos in power vacumes, deliver goods for The Boss and so on. What about kickin them a duty-like score. Gain enough of that patronage score, and the PCs go up in this orginization?
Off the top of my head, it seems plausable to me - but I havent thought the mechanics through yet fully.
