Hey!

I am considering starting a campaign in the Old Republic era during the Cold War with the (second) Sith Empire - the exact period when stuff goes down in the Old Republic MMORPG.

Did anyone try something similar already? Any sheets, counsel or information to share?

Any thoughts about it at all?

Thanks!

As far as basic rules, careers, character types, etc, all the current rules should work just fine...just more Sith around, so you'll probably want the F&D book.

Vehicles are one bump. Some have probably painstakingly writen stats for ships and vehicles. Others have simply taken a comparable ship we have and repackaged it as a ship (Nebulon-B for Hammerheads, for example).

Have any?

Mind to share?

As I said in another post, make it easy: Use the same stats, don't change anything and just say that it's the correct version on that time Easy cheesy.

EDIT: starfighters, not firefighters.

I think you could be better served with reusing the normal game stats: so the XS Freighter could have the stats of the Yt-1300, or the YT-2400 (and give the old Dynamic class the YT-1300 stats, could be neat). The big problem in SWTOR era is the strong force users not very well catered by Force and Destiny. You could start at knight level if you have Force users.

Yeah, we've been running in a Old Republic game for a while now - the Cold War just started heating up. My advice for stats? Dont worry about it. Need a Sith Battleship? That Star Destroyer looks very nice with a black and red paint scheme. Need some Mandolorians? Generic Bounty Hunter stats work just fine. Sith fighters? Use TIE fighters and call it a day.

The real meat of the era is the color and the setting and the people. Don't get hung up on minutia, trying to reinvent the wheel.
