/settles in as the Vigil continues

I'm checking my pre-order daily

I was looking at is as an out of character thing. The player will change their mind if they are warned in the moment that they will get conflict, as they will take that warning from me as "this is a really bad idea". If they are informed ahead of time what will earn them conflict, I shouldn't have to hold their hand when it comes to moral decisions unless it's a very tricky between-a-rock-and-a-hard-place kind of situation where both options are bad but one is worse.

At least, that's how I look at it. My own thoughts aside, I prefer to stick with the rules of the game as much as I can, so I'll continue giving them that warning.

Why would earning Conflict fall into the "really bad idea" category of things? Conflict shouldn't be presented as the bad choice, just the darker choice. It could be a good idea to do something that may earn you Conflict, depending on what you are doing.

As an update if you ordered your copy from Minature Market you should be getting it this week. I checked my pre order status and it has moved to Shipped. With luck I'll have my book before I leave town next Sunday

Mine has shipped. Wohoo.

Not sure if this has been said yet in this thread, but on top of all the goodies everyone has mentioned I just want to point out the care that the development team put in to writing this book. I mean, all of these books have been pretty good about loading up on description, but I was really feeling the love as I was reading through the motivations and the "who becomes a sentinel" sections--early Chapter One stuff (before the species and specs). Even the descriptions of the Specializations (particularly Racer) seemed a step up from the normal quality, which is no small feat.

Expecting my copy Thursday. This week needs to hurry up!

Took a gamble and put this on pre order at my local shop rather than constantly refresh Ebay for a UK copy to arrive. The gamble being my local shop has a rather broad definition of 'well have it soon '

I'm hopefully going to be able to place my order today! I want it so much. ;_;

So Pantorans are the new master race? 110 XP with a 3/1 split?

So Pantorans are the new master race? 110 XP with a 3/1 split?

They are one of the very few that can take 10 extra XP and manage 4/3/3/2/2/2 or 3/3/3/3/3/1 (but the 1 must be Willpower) without having the 4 tied to a specific characteristic (like Drall) or a major species weakness (like Gand and Dressellians).

I'm next to certain that pantorans were meant to only have 100 xp. They're basically Twi'leks, but with cold resist instead of hot resist, and a different selection of skills.

So why on earth would they get 10 more xp?

Sounds like a good question for when the Order 66 hosts cover the book.

'The Blue guys will rise up the Blue guys will rise. We'll crush all the other guys the Blue guys will rise. Because we are Blie we are tough guys The Blue Guys will rise!'

Because the Flannel One played a Pantoran.

The...Flannel...what?

I'm sorry, I just don't get the reference.

George Lucas is often called the "Flanneled One" for his penchant for Flannel shirts.

My group often call him Uncle George and if he directed, GM George.

Just to expand on this, George Lucas 'played' (read: got dressed up and stood in the background) Baron Papanoida, a Pantoran (and his daughters played the Baron's daughters).

Wasn't the whole Lucas family there so his wife would be there too?

Lucas and his wife, Marcia, had divorced many years before. He raised his daughters as a single parent.

He was single from 1983-2013, so there would have been no wife to include in 2005. But, to the best of my knowledge, all of the kids were in it. Son Jett was the Padawan that Bail Organa saw the clones gun down at the Jedi Temple.

I forgot he was divorced before the prequels!

I forgot he was divorced before the prequels!

As one version of the story goes, the divorce in '83 (during post-production of RotJ) is a major factor in no additional movies being made for so long. It was a bitter divorce, and should a new movie enter production in short order, Marcia would have been entitled to a cut as part of the community property.

Spielberg also had a bitter divorce at the time. The result: Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (with people having their hearts torn out of their chests, literally).
