"It is useless to resist!"

I've been lurking this thread with great interest, having been a part of a similarly-styled (though diceless) game for the last six years, which is just now coming to an end. I'm too new to EotE to join as a GM, but I'd sure love to get involved as a player (I'm thinking Politico), and maybe bump up to GM later on, when I'm more comfortable with the system.

Looking forward to further news!

Still interested to PBF, Bounty Hunter/Tech for me most likely.

The game on RPOL has been created (Star Wars: Edge of the Empire - Galactic Perils). We are still in the setup stages as I try to sneak in some development time at the office.

Hey I am getting a Sorry no matches reply when I search for the game.

It's not under "Accepting New Players" status yet. We've gotta set everything up internally. I sent you a GM invite.

Registered! Same account name as here.

I'm registered too (and also under the same username).

Registered....same name

Are character concepts welcome here? If not, let me know and I'll delete the information!

LORIN DALL

Lorin Dall is a twenty-one year-old human woman from the core world of Chandrila. A thief by 'trade', she is a good-natured thrill seeker who usually gets what she wants through a combination of persuasion, subterfuge, and good old-fashioned sleight of hand.

Recent History:

In her middle-class youth, Lorin was a bright but unmotivated student who rarely studied, and only managed to commence from school thanks to a combination of innate intelligence and undeniable charm. Upon graduation, she had no idea what she wanted to do, but was very certain what she didn't want to do: work for a living, or get married.

However, being forcibly (but lovingly) ejected from her parents' home caused her to relax her stance on the first point, and Lorin soon found employment as a cocktail waitress in an upscale lounge in her home city. It was here that she caught the eye of a prominent local politician (think Anthony Weiner... in SPAAACE!!!) and, though she held no attraction to the man whatsoever, agreed to be taken on a date by him, to see how the 'other half' lived.

The date was not nearly as romantic as the politician had hoped. His unwelcome advances, coupled with the late revelation that he had a wife and children waiting for him at home, brought out a vindictive streak in Lorin. And through some fancy maneuvering, the night ended with Lorin racing down the street in the man's luxury landspeeder, custodian of a few thousand credits of his Imperial cash. It was, at that point, the most thrilling experience of her life.

Of course the landspeeder had to be abandoned almost immediately, but the stolen credits enabled Lorin to book passage on a private transport ship out-system. Free from Chandrilan law enforcement, the girl has been travelling from spaceport to spaceport in search of more sights, more sounds, more fun, and… more money.

Since the credits she'd stolen ran out quite quickly (as they do), Lorin has been forced to resort to petty (and not-so-petty) thievery to survive, and to stay one step ahead of whatever enforcers the politician might have sent after her. Though she has no delusions about her status as a professional thief, Lorin still has a personal code of conduct. Eschewing hardworking, middle-class beings, she only steals from the exceedingly rich (who won't notice a few thousand missing here or there), the corrupt (who deserve it, as far as she's concerned), and other, more heinous criminals (who obviously deserve it).

This code means that Lorin is often found cozying up to less-reputable individuals. With her cheery demeanour and wholesome good looks, she is often seen as completely out of her depth by such individuals - a perception that Lorin exploits to the utmost degree, as many penniless, nefarious cantina-dwellers can now attest.

Personality and Appearance:

Lorin Dall is a dazzling conversationalist, with an infectious enthusiasm for anything that is new and exciting. With a disarming smile and natural good looks, she is generally viewed favourably by others… unless they figure out that they've become one of her victims.

Lorin is 170 cm tall, with a slight build. She typically wears fashionable but functional clothing; while she always likes to look stylish, she recognizes that her best option is to stick with clothing that won't impede her ability to run for her life, when necessary. This usually means comfortable pants, boots, and a flowy shirt. Her blonde hair is tied in a ponytail at the middle of the back of her head, out of which spring a few locks that frame her lightly-freckled face.

Game Stuff:

Obligation: Betrayal
Motivation: Freedom
Career: Colonist
Specializations: Politico and Scoundrel, I think? Still figuring that out as I read the rules...

I can change anything that needs changing!

Though you weren't after a PbP game?

I wasn't, but the format of this one just seemed too interesting!

We're still working on getting the initial setup going (basically the areas where players can begin the game), I'm going to work to start having players invited to the Game with general guidelines on the story and slight variances from the RAW. I haven't gotten any game requests form some reason for all of those who have submitted them. In any case, once again the name of the game is "Star Wars: Edge of the Empire - Galactic Perils".

i would like to join this game as well, i'm registered on that site under the same name i have here.

Just FYI, I had a hard time finding this, for whatever reason. I put the name in exactly as written, and unchecked the 'active games looking for players' box. Not sure what did the trick, but I found it and applied.

Pretty sure that's what did it. I did a generic search for EotE games, unchecking that box, and it came right up.

How did I not see this message before.

Anyhow, I shot you a message on site. Edit to add..... really looking forward to this. This really looks like it could be something good.

i tried to search for it myself before but didn't know about the checked box blocking it from showing up, i just "requested" to join. i hope i get a chance to play with you all.

Requested to join as well.

Those that have recently been requested have been added as 'future players' - when we wrap up our standardized rules, you will have access to viewing all the details of the game!

Got it. Thanks.

Really looking forward to this. Itching to make my character need more info for a back story.

Been lurking in this thread for several days. I have to say that I find this an intriguing idea. I went to RPOL, found the game and made a request to join. I am keen to learn this system and play some great sci-fi. Hopefully, I'll even become fluent enough to run some games soon.

Has it been decided whether you're going to allow lurkers? I am interested but I've never seen a game like this before so I don't know what it really is. I don't want to apply to play and waste everyone's time if I find out I can't keep up or if there's any part of the game that would make it too difficult for me to play. I have a few out of the ordinary considerations to deal with...

I think you can lurk by default - I've been skulking around RPoL.net and reading other people's games, just to get a feel for the place. That might have been a global permission set by each game's owner though, I'm not sure. But, I haven't yet clicked on a game that's said, "sorry, you can't some in here..."

[EDIT: Oops, my bad. I'm seeing now that there are games whose in-character threads are invisible to non-members. I'm not sure if this game will be one of those...]

My understanding is that considering there are going to be several groups and locations diffrent threads will be hidden to those not in that area of space.

That sounds not good for lurkers...
