EoE + AoR + FaD Groups?

By bmmcwhirt, in General Discussion

Has anyone run a group yet with players using careers from all 3 systems?

If so how well did they mesh? I Know that FF's goal is for them to all be compatible and on the surface it looks good but I've not had the opportunity so see how well it works in reality.

Yup, worked fine, Had a Dr., an Infiltrator, Tactician, Ambassador, and Shien Expert.

Good to know! Thanks.

Yeah I've done it too, no real problems.

Ok, to expand on this question, have anyone run group mixing EotE/AoR/FaD in the time frame of the original trilogy, and if so, how do you:

- Re-conciliate the fact that the jedis are mostly exterminated? Do you just wave a hand and say the FaD characters are force users, but not jedi per se?

- How do you mix Obligation, Duty and Morality? Do all characters have Obgl + Duty, but only the force user has Morality? Or do EotE careers use Oblg only, AoR careers use Duty only, and FaD careers use Morality only?

Any other tips overall how to mix them up for a new GM?

Thanks

Thats exactly what the text of FaD says, they are not in any way Jedi, they are ONLY force sensitives.

Jedi is more like a religious Order that trains force sensitives in the way of the light side and vise versa for the Sith. The force is like energy it can not be created or destroyed only transformed.

On top of that if you are in the EU not all Jedi were extinguished there were more that escaped besides Kenobi and Yoda.

I'm doing an AoR game altered to be from the point of view of the Empire. Have a F&D player playing a novice Inquisitor. Zero issues.

Played one session so far with a mix of EotE, AoR, and FaD characters. No issues so far, but to be fair my PC has only tipped into FaD material in the form of taking the Ataru Striker specialization, so we've just barely scratched the surface. We've had no issues with mixing EotE and AoR characters in the past, but not quite sure how it'd go with using a pure FaD character in a mixed group.

Based on the starting-tier and Knight-level PCs that I've created, as long as they're all at the same amount of XP, I don't see there being any glaring unbalances in terms of power. Especially as the Force users need to spend a lot of XP in order to get awesome at Force powers.
