Calling All Players—Play By Post Sign Up

By awayputurwpn, in Star Wars: Force and Destiny RPG

Doing the previous list by tablet, I either missed someone or misplaced someone else or both. The following should be correct. I have also made two lists, one that is by order of priority (i.e. the order in which interest was expressed in the other thread -those are the people with the asterisk, by the way- followed by the order in which interest was expressed in this thread) and a second one that splits the various interested people by both campaign and priority.

By order of priority...

1. *FCastor - Human Warrior (Shii-Cho Knight, Force Sensitive Emergent) Campaign 1: Shadows of the Future

2. *Sarone - "D roid/cybernetics researcher and engineer" Campaign 1: Shadows of the Future

3. *kaosoe - ? Consular (Niman Disciple) Campaign 1: Shadows of the Future

4. *Revanchist7 - ? Campaign 1: Shadows of the Future

5. *Jon D - ? Sentinel (Shadow, Shii-Cho Knight) Campaign 2: Heirs to the Legacy

6. *Crazy Aido - ? Guardian (Soresu Defender) Campaign 2: Heirs to the Legacy

7. *Korro Zal - Zabrak Consular (Niman Disciple) Campaign 1: Shadows of the Future

8. *ApocalypseZero - Gank Smuggler (Gunslinger) Campaign 2: Heirs to the Legacy

9. Jereru - Togruta Mystic (Seer, Niman Disciple) Campaign 2: Heirs to the Legacy

10. BigSpoon - ? Seeker (Ataru Striker) Campaign 2: Heirs to the Legacy

11. ColonelCommissar - ? Seeker (Pathfinder, Shien Expert) Campaign 1: Shadows of the Future

12. Nimsim - ? "Whichever campaign has space in it"

13. Silver Crane - Human Guardian (Soresu Defender, Protector) Campaign 1: Shadows of the Future

14. Inquisitor Tremayne - Kel Dor Guardian (Peacekeeper) Campaign 2: Heirs to the Legacy

15. Dramar - ? ?

16. drbraininajar - ? Mystic (Advisor) or ? Consular (Sage) Campaign 2: Heirs to the Legacy

17. Otterjethro - ? Campaign 1: Shadows of the Future

And by campaign along with priority...

Campaign 1: Shadows of the Future - 8
1. *FCastor - Human Warrior (Shii-Cho Knight, Force Sensitive Emergent)
2. *Sarone - "D roid/cybernetics researcher and engineer"
3. *kaosoe - ? Consular (Niman Disciple)
4. *Revanchist7 - ?
7. *Korro Zal - Zabrak Consular (Niman Disciple)
11. ColonelCommissar - ? Seeker (Pathfinder, Shien Expert)
13. Silver Crane - Human Guardian (Soresu Defender, Protector)

17. Otterjethro - ?

Campaign 2: Heirs to the Legacy - 7
5. *Jon D - ? Sentinel (Shadow, Shii-Cho Knight)
6. *Crazy Aido - ? Guardian (Soresu Defender)
8. *ApocalypseZero - Gank Smuggler (Gunslinger)
9. Jereru - Togruta Mystic (Seer, Niman Disciple)
10. BigSpoon - ? Seeker (Ataru Striker)
14. Inquisitor Tremayne - Kel Dor Guardian (Peacekeeper)
16. drbraininajar - ? Mystic (Advisor) or ? Consular (Sage)

Flexible or Undecided - 2
12. Nimsim - ?
15. Dramar - ?

Also, keep in mind that there are still 24 hours to go and that there are people that did express interest in the other thread that have not done so here yet. So the whole thing is still in progress more or less.


Hope it helps. :)

9. Jereru - (still trying to find something that's not done already) Campaign 2: Heirs to the Legacy

10. BigSpoon - ? Seeker (Ataru Striker) Campaign 2: Heirs to the Legacy

As everything I have in mind uses Characteristics which another player already uses as well. I'll need to further investigate how to not tread on anyone's niche.

Thanks so much, FCastor. Helps to have attentive and organized players!

I will probably update it tonight again, at least if more join the party. I will put it in a new post since edits can get missed.

Thanks very much, that clarifies things. FCastor will you be branching out into the Starfighter Ace specialisation? If not I would happily serve as the group's pilot.

Edited by ColonelCommissar

Not really sure, as I have thought of him as more of a Jedi and a swordsman really, so my next spec will probably be Niman Disciple. I maaay pick up Starfighter Ace at some point (but not at character creation), and even if I do so, it will probably be later rather than sooner. But honestly, the most probable answer is no.

So, by all means, if noone objects, pilot away. :)

Edited by FCastor

Alright cool. I'll be boosting my Cunning and Agility (probably 4 and 3 respectively) at the start and focusing on my Lightsaber and on skills for scouting/adventuring.

Still accepting! I'll get a tally done here after the 48-hour window passes (48 from the OP) and then will throw up the OOC & Dramatis Personae Threads.

Edited by ColonelCommissar

Since we are talking Characteristics, I am thinking of 3 in Brawn, Agility, Cunning and Willpower. Brawn and Agility for the combat applications mostly, as well as skills such as Athletics and Coordination; he is a Warrior after all. Willpower because, well, Jedi and Force powers and Niman Disciple. Cunning because by having 3 in the above three Characteristics, I cannot afford a 4, plus it governs such skills like Perception.

And one never knows when one might be interested in Ataru Striker or Shien Expert. Sure, we are talking quite a bit in the future, but no harm comes from planning ahead, I guess. ;)

I believe after recruitment ends and PCs are chosen, then character creation will take place in the OOC thread.

Ok then. Fair warning I won't have access to my books or computer until Tuesday night so I might need an extension for character creation (I can give you fluff but not crunch).

Thanks for clarifying that. Since there are two Niman Disciples in our group (the first one), perhaps I should explain my concept a bit more. I'm not sure what the situation regarding Jedi training is in your campaign, since the Sith seem to have mostly wiped them out, but assuming there's a hidden/underground temple somewhere that still trains Jedi initiates my character learned his Jedi skills there. He was a gifted swordsman but way too proud and full of himself, and way too eager to draw his saber to solve problems. Instead of allowing him to train as a Guardian or Warrior, he was assigned as an apprentice to a Consular (who was a master of the Niman style) to teach him the value of negotiation and diplomacy in addition to developing his swordsmanship. He does his best to resolve conflicts peacefully as he was taught and only draw his blade as a last resort, but...sometimes it's hard to overcome your flaws!

As such, his emotional strength and weakness is, of course, Pride/Arrogance.

In terms of skills, I intend to make him a straight-up Niman Disciple with some facility in the Move force power. Trained skills will likely be Survival (as a Zabrak), Cool, Discipline, Leadership, Lightsaber and Negotiation. I will probably give him a Willpower of 4 to start and get the Niman technique if possible (or as soon as possible) to make him formidable with a lightsaber.

Does this work for your campaign?

Certainly. We can discuss the specifics of where your character received his training in the OOC thread after tomorrow night, but if you are starting with a FaD Career, the assumption is that you have received training of some sort from some source. So there's that, at least ;)

Also, keep in mind that, given the time frame, it is still totally feasible to have a middle-aged (or older) Jedi-in-exile-type PC.

What's the situation with mandalorians in the kotor campaign? How organized are they, who do they support?

Interesting questions :) At a big-picture level, the Mandalorians were decimated by Revan during the Mandalorian Wars, and have yet to rally under any strong leader. The popular notion is that Mandalorians can be found all over the galaxy working as guns-for-hire, and still others think that a large portion of them have signed on with the Sith, in true Mandalorian custom, owing to the honor they hold for Revan. And if rumors can be believed, small groups of Mandalorians are counted among those rebelling against the Sith Empire.

But it is never wise to put much stock in hearsay...

Still accepting! I'll get a tally done here after the 48-hour window passes (48 from the OP) and then will throw up the OOC & Dramatis Personae Threads.

So in what time frame are we going to need to produce a character sheet?

I believe after recruitment ends and PCs are chosen, then character creation will take place in the OOC thread.

Ok then. Fair warning I won't have access to my books or computer until Tuesday night so I might need an extension for character creation (I can give you fluff but not crunch).

Yeah, the main thing I ask is that you remain active. If you're gonna get the books on Tuesday, that's cool. I'm sure the fine folks here would be more than happy to give you a helping hand as well, speed you along with PC creation.

Right now I'm planning on upping brawn, agility, cunning and willpower. Haven't settled on a race yet but might default on human.

Still accepting! I'll get a tally done here after the 48-hour window passes (48 from the OP) and then will throw up the OOC & Dramatis Personae Threads.

If I may offer a suggestion?

Once sign up has run its course and the PCs are chosen, it might be a good idea to set up the OOC thread (or threads, if you want each campaign to have its own) first. Then, once everyone has reported in, so to speak, and character creation is finished and the characters more or less finalized, you could then create the Dramatis Personae thread (one should suffice) and have the players post their finalized character sheets there and only that so as to avoid clutter. Ideally this way any talk about how to build the character will stay away from the Dramatis Personae thread, leaving it to contain only posts that are effectively editable character sheets and nothing else.

Thanks very much. I'll keep talking until I get the books back so there's no risk of me disappearing.

I like the way this universe is shaping up. Is anyone from the original KOTOR games left? What happened to Malak at the Star Forge? If the Republic is still going, do they pretty much just exist as holdouts in a few fortified systems? And will there be a giant text dump describing the lore appearing?

I'd be interested in the Heirs to the Legacy game myself. Not sure the concept yet though....

Hmm. Given things going on in my own life ATM I'm actually going to bow out - my spot can go to others. Thanks anyways, and best of luck!

Thanks for letting us know buddy!

Gonna go with a Nautolan, I think.

Darn it am I too late to sign up, I wanted to be a Seeker - pathfinder. Largely force oriented though certainly a survivalist and a naturalist. My character is paricularly interested in animal husbandry in his downtime.

Ok, after a lot of meditation:

Campaign 2: Heirs to the Legacy - 7
5. *Jon D - ? Sentinel (Shadow, Shii-Cho Knight) Will up Brawn, Agility, Cunning and Willpower
6. *Crazy Aido - ? Guardian (Soresu Defender) Presumably high Intellect and Brawn

8. *ApocalypseZero - Gank Smuggler (Gunslinger) Presumably high Agility and Cunning
9. Jereru - ? Mystic (Seer/?) Starting at 4 Willpower and another one at 3, depending on what's needed. Possibly Intellect or Presence.

10. BigSpoon - ? Seeker (Ataru Striker) Presumably high Agility
14. Inquisitor Tremayne - Kel Dor Guardian (Peacekeeper) Presumably high Presence
16. drbraininajar - ? Mystic (Advisor) or ? Consular (Sage) Presumably high Presence and Willpower

Ok, I was trying an Unarmed fighter and I think it could work, but then I thought it would have the same characteristics as the Defender, and a Seer with a nice array of Force Powers could help better. As second spec I am between Niman and Makashi, depending on the final choices of the rest.

I'll be posting the "Shao Lin monk" in another thread, just because I'll probably never play it and I want to share :P

Nobody saying you can't use your unarmed concept. I am always open to suggestion. My brawn is probably gonna be around 3. In fact none of my stats I think will go over that. I think there's still a lot of viability for your build, let's talk about it. I'm probably gonna go with the sense force power, not very advanced. Oh yes, and the force pike. must. have. force pike.

Technically you are not too late as sign up period will be open for another 18 hours or so. Which of the two campaigns would you be interested in joining? I am keeping a record to give the GM a hand (check the previous page to see it).

I'm building a Mandalorian human for the shadows of the future game. Career is Hired Gun but have bought into Sharpshooter and Commando from AoR. The idea being that my character has gone from mercenary work to being a part of one of these rebel cells. Knight level is +9000 credits, correct? And I was considering having Duty and Obligation, but if it's easier I can just pick one.
