Shadows and Dust OOC

By Prophyt, in Star Wars: Force and Destiny RPG

Recruiting for a new homebrew campaign.

Build characters here.

Make your sheets here and link them in this thread.

Roll any dice here and link them in this thread by copy and pasting the bbcode.

(HINT: if you're unfamiliar with orokos, here's an example. Say you need to make a check involving 2 Ability dice, 2 Precision dice, 1 Boost die, 1 Difficulty die, 2 Challenge dice, and 3 Setback dice, here's the code - 2eA+2eP+1eB+1eD+2eC+3eS. Force/Destiny dice are rolled using the eF code with the number of dice needed to roll before the code.)

After a minimum of 3 characters are accepted, we will begin discussing/voting on the group resource.

I will be accepting a maximum of 6 Player Characters, but will also keep a "Reserve/Rotation" list of 4 Player Characters for anyone who wants to be part of this campaign but will not be able to play frequently.

This is a beginner level campaign (standard beginning character build).

If you have any questions, feel free to post them here or PM them to me. I will respond to them as quickly as possible.

[NOTE: This campaign involves (some) PCs from approximately 3000 BBY. While players aren't required to make their Jedi/Force Sensitive characters from that time period, if they do, they must make sure to delineate character knowledge and player knowledge. Characters from 3000 BBY will not have the same knowledge about the Galaxy and technology as characters from the "present".]

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...

STAR WARS

"Shadows and Dust"

It is a period of restless peace in the galaxy. The Galactic Empire has been tightening its grip on the galaxy for almost twenty years, especially anything concerning the now-abolished JEDI ORDER.

The final stroke is legislation from the Imperial Senate to cease all archaeological studies on sites significant to the Force. Even privately funded expeditions are threatened by these laws, unless they submit all findings to the SENATE HISTORICAL OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE before performing their own research. Planets like OSSUS are now under special Imperial observation.

The last of the archaeological ships is leaving the moon NERIT en route to Coruscant, where its crew will reveal a series of CRYOGENIC STASIS CHAMBERS recovered from the site of an ancient starship wreck...

I would be interested in playing. I'm considering several character concepts, will post more once I have a solid idea.

Take your time. ^_^

Only one person has sent me a character sheet so far, thus the "Reserved" in slot 1.

One question. Do you want all the characters to be Force Sensitive from the start? I have an idea for a character that would start out with a career from Edge but later take either of the FS Exile or Emergent trees to represent him realizing his potential.

The intention is for all Players to build their characters from Force and Destiny, so yes, Force Sensitive. However, you can use the narrative to say that you don't realize you're a Force Sensitive if you choose to play a PC who wasn't in the cryo chambers

OK, fair enough. One other question. The people in the cryo chambers, were they part of the Jedi order? Just curious because it is hard to create a character who is near being a Jedi Knight with the starting XP. Perhaps the time in cryo has diminished their connection to the force?

My proposed character is Rin, a Dressellian Navigator, struggling with the change in technology over the past 3000 years. Ultimately he will be an excellent Pilot and he is Intelligent so finding a use for that would be sensible. I'm still working on a story but the skeleton of a character is here:

The intention is that the time in cryo has diminished their connection and/or their connection to the Force has been altered do to Galactic events over the course of 3000 years

Ah, very cool. That makes creating a character much easier. I'll get cracking.

How about a Merc soldier or gadgeteer hired on to provide security and muscle. Someone from the current era, not one of the cryostasis people.

Security for the archaeologists? If so, PM me. I had an idea if you want the GM to whisper darkness into your character XD

I present: Ren-Do Uvara , a Cerean Guardian (Protector).

He is a decent fighting character, has a decent Medicine skill and will, in time, have some knowledge skills. He suffered a lot of damage in the cryo-stasis so most of his skills and the talents selected reflect things that can be intuitive on some level or were things he trained extensively before entering cryo.

The character is mostly complete. I might fiddle a bit if I have the time before the characters have to be ready. I still have to add some background. I will do so soon, if the character is approved.

Nice! 2 Intelect 4 characters lol

Nice! 2 Intelect 4 characters lol

Indeed. But a very different focus!

Very!

Two characters in with a potential third on the way. Things are progressing smoothly.

I think that I may be interested. I hope that I won't have trouble with time later on, though. I don't have a specific concept in mind right now, but if I am allowed to join, I will most likely take another Int 4 character.

Wow. At least I hope you will take a different focus? We could really do with a diverse group...

Well, there's a Seeker and Guardian so far.

Just because you guys have high Int doesn't mean you can't be diverse

I'd be interested in taking part (the local gaming scene is spectacularly dead, so PbPs are a life-line for me) but I'm about to leave the country - and thus my computer and rulebooks - for a week and a half. When does your application period end, and can you accomodate me if I go dark from the 18th to the 27th?

Redacted.

I can put you in the "Reserve/Rotation" list until you return.

Fudge. I just had to order a replacement battery for my laptop

Seems fair. I'm thinking of creating a traditional D&D-style 'rogue' - a high-presence Mystic/Makashi Duellist with social abilities. I should have a sheet up soon.
