I'm starting a new campaign with my 6-7 person group in the new republic era with 2-3 players each from the three platforms (Eote, AoR, and FaD; 2 Scum, 3 Rebels, 2 Jedi)

Gleaning some inspiration from some others on this forum has anyone ever linked the adventure modules into one super campaign?

I was thinking of linking "Beyond the Rim" to "Friends like These" to "Chronicles of the Gatekeeper." That way each PC gets a story that can work specifically for their faction while helping others.

Two questions:
Has anyone ever done this? What tips/suggestions do you have?


Thanks!

I frequently incorporate material from the pre-made adventures into my campaigns. You first need to come up with what the overall theme and goals are for your campaign and then modify the adventures to fit into that framework. Most of them are pretty flexible that it doesn't take much tweaking.

I am pretty much running a similar campaign to the one you are setting out on.

As Otakuon said.

It is easy to drop pre-made scenarios into an ongoing story arc with a little adaption, I cherry pick ideas from various sources and mix it in with my own story. It's just a matter of personalizing the material to make it relevant to your group.

Thanks for the responses guys. What do you think would be a better story that incorporates all three game systems at the beginning? Mask of the Pirate Queen, Beyond the Rim or jewel of yavin? Also which would be good in the middle i want to say Friends like thee but Friends like these is set up for 150 XP or more so it might be last but then again so is ghosts of Dathomir. If you guys have any insight on these stories at all (since I haven't read thru them yet) which would be good for story progression as well as gradually getting more and more difficult?

I have been running a super campaign! It has been going great. We all work full time, so I am trying to use as many of the published adventures as I can. My group is 6-7 players as well: 4 Edge Characters, 1 Force User, 1 (sometimes 2) Rebels.

My gaming group:

• Female Human Ace: Pilot/Hot Shot/Rigger (My Wife)
• Twi'lek Female Technician: Slicer/Analyst/Cyber Tech (My Niece)
• Male Verpine Outlaw Tech/Mechanic/Modder/Droid Tech (My Eldest Son)
• Male Human Gun Slinger/Instructor/Charmer/Gambler (My Nephew-in-law)
• Male Human Bounty Hunter: Martial Artist/Force Sensitive Emergent/Sentry (My best Friend)
• Male Human Soldier: Medic/Doctor/Quarter Master/Entrepreneur (Me)
• Male Chiss Soldier: Sharpshooter/Assassin (Another good friend who has been out of the action for a while, but still in the story line. Hoping the he will return soon)

I sat down and looked at almost every published adventure (still looking at the ones published since we began) and found a way to tie each one character or another's back story. At the end of each gaming session, I roll under each of the three background mechanics to determine what gets incorporated to the next gaming session. If we are between adventures that roll determines which adventure we will be starting next. If we are in the middle of an adventure, the person that comes up simply feels the effects of their particular background mechanic. Obligation roll comes up, thoughts or messages about that Obligation cause them stress and triggering the Strain Threshold reduction. Duty roll comes up, an opportunity to meet that duty present itself, tempting the character to pick a fight with/steal something from/kidnap Imperials while in the middle of something else.

• We started with the Edge Boxed set "Escape from Mos Shuuta" as our First Adventure and continued on with the web supplement "Long Arm of the Hutt". Stealing the Ship and Delivering it settled part of the Pilot's debt obligation and got her own ship out of hock.
• When we finished them, the Obligation roll came up nothing, so the Rebel character suggested they do a job for the Rebellion. This lead the party into the Rebellion Boxed Set "Takeover at Whisper Base", we then followed that with the web supplement "Operation Shadow Point". After this most every character took a Duty to represent what their character wanted to contribute to the rebellion.
• After we finished them, the obligation roll came up with the Twi'lek Slicer's Debt obligation and triggered the Adventure "Under a Black Sun". This adventure ended with an Antagonist Obligation linked to the party, rather than any individual character.
• Next the Force User's Mentor was abducted, triggering the Force and Destiny Boxed set "Mountain Top Rescue"
• Between "Mountaintop Rescue" and the "Lure of the Lost" web supplement, the party did Lessons from the Past.
• Back to "Lure of the Lost". Surprise twist at the end, I made the Dark Jedi the Force User's lost father.
• The Verpine's Blackmail debt triggered the beginning of the "Beyond the Rim".
• On the way to begin "Beyond the Rim", the Soldier was asked to check on increased Imperial activity on Phemis triggering "Hidden Depths".
• Following "Hidden Depths", we are back on track for "Beyond the Rim", which we are currently in the middle of. We are currently on Cholghanna. the Force User's Blackmail obligation triggered and the man who could expose his secret to the Empire has instructed him to capture one of the planet's elusive Black Nexu alive for his "Collection".
• Other Adventures tied to Obligations that are waiting to be triggered:
• "Crates of Kryats" and "Jewel of Yavin" is tied to the Force User's Blackmail Obligation.
• "Trouble Brewing" is tied the Twi'leks Favor Obligation.
• The gunslinger has took the "Bad reputation" Obligation that I could tie to just about any other adventure if I try hard enough.

I plan to run the Rebellion missions in the suggested order when we are between "Edge" adventures and no Obligations happen to come up.

We have a lot of fun with it. We have gaming sessions planned for the next 2 Sundays. I am hoping to get through the Black Nexu Hunt, then hopefully get to Raxus Prime tomorrow, and then hopefully complete Raxus Prime on Memorial Day weekend. We'll see how far we get tomorrow.

Good Luck and Happy Gaming!
