Hi all, I'm currently GMing a Play By Post on the AoR forums. It's got an odd premise that all the PC's are Gungan, not everyone's cup of tea I know. The intention is to create an epic story of Gungans rising above the BS of the prequels, that they can actually be interesting.

The setting is:

Onganta 7 is the 7th and by far largest of 11 moons of the gas giant Onganta, the only planet in the Onganta System in a little explored part of the Outer Rim, 8hrs and 4 jumps from Trigalis. A semi aquatic moon, with temperate climate, a mix of dense forest and grass plains covers the only major land mass. The oceans are quite deep and home to a large aray of wildlife, but most importantly the Empire has discovered large deposits of the rare "Plasma" most notably known from the planet Naboo. The Empire has forcibly relocated Gungans from Naboo to this newly discovered moon to assist in the mining opperations.

The campaign has run for a little while, but I didn't give enough directon and it moved slowly so we have chosen to "upset the apple cart" and push it from a "hogans heroes" campaign to a full on "gorilla warfare" campaign. At the same time it would be great to get a couple more PC's into the story. Anything goes career and spec wise - so long as you're a Gungan - including all 3 lines. Extra 3000 credits for gear, and +50xp post creation to smooth out the edges. Duty is the mechanic in use, 10 starting which can be reduced to gain XP/credits in the usual AoR character creation way. Any Force User will start with Morality 50 but use Duty for creating their character.

Like I said it's going to be Gorilla Warfare, also with some kind of base for the PC's to utilise and build upon.

This is the group as it stands at the moment:

kaosoe: Bii-Mii Wuu a Gungan Comander Tactician

RusakRakesh: Jek Jek a Gungan scout;

cimmerianthief: Moppo Wupps a Gungan Cyber tech/Droid tech (this character could change)

Arctanaar: EMC-313 Droid Engineer Scientist who really likes to blow stuff up

If you're interested please post here, or over in the OOC thread:

I can't help but think wookiees might be better for "gorilla" warefare. But that's just because they're stronger and hairier.

True, but this wasn't a campaign starting with "who would make good slaves turned rebels." It was "what game would Gungans be more interesting in that's not tense negotiations and debating in the senate?" We all know how interesting that is...

Riveting stuff, someone should have made a whole movie about it

No, just a TV special...

Or just nothing...

I'm interested! Not at my computer at the moment, but at soon as I am, I'll shoot you a character concept.

You’ve got me interested. I’ll have to come up with a concept.

Do you need a pilot or a ranged weapons guy?

The Tactician is quite a good shot, the Scout can drive, but neither are "experts". With the natural 3 in Presence everyone can socialise.

A true heavy combat expert and gunner would fit. But honestly the group is quite broad as it is, so anything would fit, a specialist in particular.

That's 3 interested, with bradknowles, Simon Retold and Rakaydos, probably enough, thanks everyone.

Let me know if you need an extra. I could play a Quartermaster/Medic-type. Kind of like Q from James Bond -- someone who can patch up the team, but also has an affinity for acquiring strange and unique items. "Here's an interesting little gadget -- explosive deathsticks! Muy-muy bomb-bad for your health."
