Shadows in the Light (OOC)

By Ryoden, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

Ok so I'll have a sheet revised tonight... So the final total allowable obligation is what?

I like a lot of baggage, as a Nar Shaadian, it's imagine that's a normal thing.

I like to think of it as two kinds of baggage. There's story baggage that impacts the game because you want it to. Like I owe the bounty hunters guild the money they advanced me and I'm going to have to pay them off. But it's at my pace unless the GM decides to make it part of the story, in which case we can talk about it. And there's Obligation baggage that injects itself into the story whether you want it to or not. Like there's a guy out there that will take advantage of any opportunity that comes his way to screw me over but doesn't go out of his way (5 obligation), and I have no idea who is or why he's doing it. I just know that sometimes things that were going right suddenly go wrong. I'll have lots of the former, but I'll be careful not to get too much of the latter.

Starting Obligation is 5. You can take additional Obligation beyond that. I suppose you could do up to 30 additional. 5 for 5Xp, 10 for 10XP, 5 for 1000 Credits and 10 for 2500 Credits. But only once each.

The way your character was built it looked like you had already selected both options for credit so you could afford your cyberjack implant.

Yeah I took the money for the implant and for 5xp extra xp... It's that still allowable, if so it'll stay... If not I'll adjust...

Fine by me. Just means you have the largest Obligation load.

Well im an ex-slave I have nothing but obligations. Ill try and post a finished sheet tonight and do my first post tomarrow, this has been an extended weekend for me and that actually means I'm way way busier then a normal workday.

I also used Bold to indicate speech and Italics to indicate thought. Since it can be hard to tell them apart from descriptions with the way that Gand speak.

EDIT: Almost forgot

Destiny Roll : 1eF 2 Light Side

I do the same

As do I

For future reference, all of the dice with corresponding roll code.

If you ever want to make a roll, to see if your character knows something feel free to ask for the difficulty here first. You dont have to ask for it "In character".

If, while you guys are debating options, you want my take on how difficult something would be, I might just give it to you or ask for a check to see if you can "figure out" how difficult it would be.

Besides all that, remember that you can flip destiny points to establish story aspects. This can be done to answer all those questions about your character like, do I speak that language, do I know someone who..., do I know where to find... etc. Flip a destiny point and you can answer that question yourself.

@Weedles and Fries , I need Destiny pool roll from you still.

I gotta bow out, my work just moved me into a much much busier area and I'm afraid I'm going to have trouble with existing pbp so I'm going to spare you dealing with that.... I appreciate the consideration! Have fun yall, I'm gonna watch the thread as it sounds like a great adventure and group!

There was another person interested in playing and I have reached out to them. But we will keep going as we are for now.

Hi everyone! Thanks for inviting me to your pbp ^^ I'm a GM for a couple of games of EoTE IRL but this will be my first time doing anything like this on a forum! (And my first time ACTUALLY PLAYING believe it or not)

I'll be taking the time to read through the IC and OOC threads throughout the day to get myself caught up with the rest of you, but I wanted to introduce myself in the meantime!

My first instinct was to play a seldom-spoken bodyguard, either human or droid, ex-Imperial, trying to distance himself from the war. After a quick glance at the PCs involved though, I'm thinking of a Bothan Thief/Gunslinger. If anyone has any recommendations, I'm all ears!

Welcome! This is my first go at a pbp as well. I haven't played EotE in a few years so I'm brushing off the cobwebs a bit, but I love the system and am grateful to be playing it again. I've been a DnD player and DM on and off throughout the years, but Star Wars will always hold a special place in my heart. :)

In case there is any question on procedure, I am waiting on one of you to ask me for a difficulty or to declare an action.

Welcome!!

Also my my first pbp. Just got into EotE about 6 months ago and love it.

How far into orbit are we looking at? Do we have any workable hips in the junkyard that we could make the trip up in. Obviously not hit hyperspace, but point a to point b?

Well, we're all pretty much starting characters so I'd say we avoid anything too fancy. We lost our computer guy so I don't know if stealing a ship is possible now. I think our options are that we can hire someone or hijack a ship. Hijacking comes with us being possibly hunted down and/or them telling everyone where we went if we let them go. Hijacking and stealing the ship involves it getting reported and us being wanted. Hiring, while leaving a trail back to us is probably the best option. Can I make a roll to see if I know someone willing to give us a lift in-system with no questions asked? We might be able to pay off the ATC so they don't log our flight.

Thanks, guys!

After looking over everything, I'm gonna go with my Bothan Thief/Gunslinger idea.

Brin Baxler, smuggler by trade. A streetwise, smooth talking Bothan with quick fingers. I'm going to draft something up while I'm at work to this effect. My intention is to compliment the current party's abilities and to fill in a few gaps in our skill sets. I love leaning toward social skills and environmental skills (leadership, deception, etc), but any good smuggler knows the value of self-defense... thus the Gunslinging ;)

I'm also not sold on the gunslinging yet, I may lean toward some piloting skills, as the lot of you all seem quite capable in combat. Open to suggestions.

Man, I'm excited to get started!

I guess I'll just PM you Ryoden with the details as we work them out?

Also, if we're still discussing ships we'd like to find out there, I'd also throw my vote in with the C-Roc ;P

The debris field is actually settled on to one of the small moons orbiting one of the farther planets out in the system. Re read the first post in this thread for the names. When the imps came in after the battle they tractored everything out to it and dumped it there.

The business does not currently have anything functional larger than a few cargo skids. There is also an industrial walker that came in recently as scrap. No one has yet looked at it to see if it just needs some repairs to get working again.

Make an average (2) difficulty Streetwise check. Upgrade it once to reflect the fact that you need to get going asap. So [ 1eC+1eD ]

Dibs...

As I know Tox is not a good negotiator, I would like to go take a look at this walker.

I would love like to roll to determine its viability as a vehicle. See how damaged it may be.

I'll roll as soon as I finish putting my kids to bed. There's more pressing matters right now but I would be happy to lend my mechanical expertise to your inspection of the walker.

To be honest Khaine would rather steal a ship than hire someone but he recognizes that stealing a ship may be too much heat. ?
