By Death Star, I mean the long running, in person, group that has run several dnd5e campaigns, and was about 10 months in on an EotE campaign. Average PC xp was about 600-700 since they weren't always able to be present. Obvs, they got through a good amount of content, and we'd been running TTS fairly smoothly in lieu of in person play.

So why cause GM to stand for Grand Moff? I'd finally had it with the whining, and complaining, and consistent attitude that they were showing up to be entertained for four+ hours a week without any time invested on their parts (so really, like 2.5 hours as they bs'd and relearned their toons). So now what? I didn't burn bridges when I axed the campaign, but this had been brewing for a while.

Now _I_ am left hanging with 4 side quests fully built up and no one to run them for. The good part is that they're tied into FFG adventures/campaigns, so could be used with a new group. Considering the state of our LGS resources during this age of Covid-19, I went to Meetups and the /lfg sub-Reddit, and looked at Legends of the Galaxy, but am unsure what would be a good avenue.

Thoughts? Similar war stories? All are appreciated.

Discord is a good option for virtual gaming and play-by-post:

This is the link to the FFG Star Wars RPG Discord.

Cheers!

Thanks! However, it's more about where to find players without the local gaming store option. I'm fairly versed in discord and tts for the online platform already.

Unless discord is meant as a networking tool to find said players, of course.

If you're looking for online players, you can tag yourself as a GM Looking For Players, and even post a campaign announcement.

Would that be on the discord channel? Because I see that as something legends offers as well, and already done on the /lfg sub.

Under the Cantina Tab (LFG), there is a Campaign Posting channel. At the top of the channel, they give instructions.

The Facebook group for Fantasy Flight Star Wars is probably worth a "GM seeks PCs" post too.

I've been consciously uncoupled from social media since 2017, so that's an option I should have thought of!

Yep.

Find new players.

This may involve finding new (and better) friends.

About three years ago, I found myself in not one but two Star Wars RPG games that dissolved for a variety of 'player incompatibility' issues and I started taking steps to find new local players.

Like you I had a great desire to participate in a Star Wars FFG campaign with too many cool ideas and stories that I wanted to share.

I used a combination of Looking For Players (LFP)'s both electronic and via Favorite Local Gaming Stores (FLGS).

I also had some limited success by hanging out and playing casual X-Wing games at one of the FLGS.

But to take a step back, I felt it important to define the type of game that I was willing to run (ultimately an AoR/FnD game set in the Galactic War starting about ABY 1). Having that base campaign format and group conduct rules firmly defined helped me pitch the game to people.

Another thing to keep in mind is that it may take time to find the right group of players. Of my current players only one is from my original LFG postings. The other four players were found ultimately via networking from people who were contacted via original LFG contacts.

So be patient. Good luck. And have fun!
