Hmm... Now it's just a game to see how can be most promptly demanding. :D

You could set up a chron job

That could be misunderstood as 7 XP total for me, but I'll go with 6 XP unless told otherwise. :)

7 total for @Bellona was intended

For Mireska:

Grit (5 XP) on the Knight tree. Her Strain threshold is now 19. (Assuming that she recovers the 1 Strain suffered during the planning session, she'll start the mission with 0/19 Strain.)

Centre of Being (10 XP) on the Master tree. That will be her second rank in that talent.

MediaFire files and SWSheets will be updated soon, and I'll update this post when they're both done.

ETA: And both MediaFire and SWSheets have been updated now. :)

File update.

Jorin will meditate on what he's learned from Camouflage and Ker'see in knife and Lightsaber techniques (along with practicing with his shoto) and purchase 2 ranks in Lightsaber skill. 20+25=45xp.

then off to bed before his mission.

@Bellona @MrTInce @P-47 Thunderbolt @RuusMarev each get 6 xp (it's not quite the sanctioned poking, but you got an extra xp for each of you to fall out of my pockets) 😆 🤭

I can't delete the accidental extra emoji (mouth covered by hand) keyboard app deactivates whenever I backspace onto it.

Fixed it for you. ;)

Picked up Knowledge (Warfare) 3 (15XP).

This week we found out our third child is a boy, and we like Caleb Elias for first and Middle name... and my wife picked Elias not me. She has a great nephew named Elijah and like the name but didn't want to "copy" verbatim... Elias is a variant of Elijah.

@EliasWindrider , scar talents for Camouflage:

I thought these fit in line with his "head injury" thing and therefore made thematic sense.

  1. Rapid Reaction (possibly more than once?)
  2. Sixth Sense
  3. Heightened Awareness

Also, I'm guessing this may end up as a "careful what you wish for," but would you please target Camouflage a bit more often? So far, he's only taken 2 wounds and I think he's only been targeted once, which was when you gave me a series of attack checks to allocate at will. I was hoping the supers would try and shoot him off the tank. I built him to be able to take some damage with the hope of being able to protect the party and his men by drawing fire and, if need be, taking hits. I'm also never going to get a head injury if he never gets shot at.

This isn't so much a request for this particular encounter, just a more general observation and request.

Unrelated I was thinking about ventress losing one of her sabers in the next mission (rescuing jabba's son) the one with the corrupted crystal. Purifying the corrupted crystal would cause it to revert to its "previous" properties and I know that there is a crystal that you are looking for although I forget what it is... would you rather go that route or the hondo route for narrative reasons.

Thank you. It would be nice to pick up the Lorrdian Gemstone (FaD) on Tatooine, preferably an emerald variant. I'm thinking that Mireska could make a shoto lightsabre for it (and maybe a guard shoto lightsabre later to replace it when/if her Agility is raised to 4).

As for Hondo, we can always save that option for later. By then I'll be on the look-out later for a suitable/interesting lightsabre crystal to put into the Cyclic Crystal Array along with the Christophsis crystal.

Since it worked so well last time...

*Dangling our beloved GM off the roof of the Empire State Building and shaking vigorously with @RuusMarev , @Bellona , and @MrTInce holding out nets to catch any XP that falls.*

It'd be teth where you got the corrupted crystal which purifies to a lorrdian.

Okay, no hurry then! :)

(Obviously I don't have a very clear idea of TCW timeline and events.)

@EliasWindrider

Feeling the heat from far too many droids, Mireska buys the Strength upgrade for the Sense power (10 XP).

This means that the first two attacks against her in a round are each upgraded twice .

(Since I bought it right after the XP was awarded, does it "go into effect" immediately?)

ETA

MediaFire PDFs and SWSheets have now been updated.

For this mission yes. After this mission, if you spend it right after getting it (monday before any other ic post)

@Bellona , @MrTInce , @RuusMarev , if/when @EliasWindrider has to take parental leave from the game, how about we just rotate GMs from mission to mission (or session to session, depending on circumstances) rather than having one player GM ongoing? This would allow the PCs to all still participate without a full time GMPC and everyone would get a chance to have the full player experience.

I think this would work well for this campaign since it, like the Clone Wars, is very episodic and we're basically just following the timeline.

It sounds like a valid method for dealing with the situation.

However, I'm definitely not qualified to GM this campaign. I'm still pretty new to the system, but - more importantly - I haven't seen TCW at all (my knowledge of that show is taken from Wookieepedia and fanfiction). So it would be best if I were not included in the pool of potential GMs.

Aww... Clone Wars is great.

No problem.
