Okay, this is what i can do for all you starwas-aholics out there. I'm going to start a SWRPG game on Firday nights. it would be two weeks in a row then two weeks off. (dang swing shifts) so March 2nd would be the "get-together" where the PC creation would take place, the laying down of house rules and so forth. and if that is wraped up quickly we could start playing.

Also Scott was telling me that there has been intrest in setting up another RPG group seeing as the two that already run at the store are filled up. So this might be a good place to start for some of the "newer" gamers or for those who can't get in on the D&D action.

But, I am thinking of putting a Six (6) player cap on the game

Look for a more detailed info sheet at your nearest GameKnight location.

Yo, I would play Star Wars RPG if there is room. I don't know how to play, but would like it if someone would teach me. P.S. I catch on to things fast so that shouldn't be a problem.

The game plays more or less like D&D with a couple of changes.

Well Nico and myself are in, representing the Wookie and Twi'lek fronts. Go aliens.

Not sure what class Nico will go with. He's never played this system, just the old WEG version. I'm thinking Scoundrel myself.

ya i mean hell why cut the Tech Specialist, how would you divide the abilities of a doctor to say a scoundrel or a fringer, because basically thats the only other two classes that i can see that would be affected by a tech specialist.

hey mike do you know if any other classes are also going to be cut?

lol wow, so basically mix both consular and guardian? wouldnt that be a little over powered, cause the guardian is less skill oriented and more combat oriented, where as the consular is less combat and more skilled?? meh... i guess it really doesnt matter though to say the least.

02/13/2007 10:03 AM  
Here is the tally so far:

Jay (GM) - Ole Capt'n Nash, Vader & company
Scott: Jedi Padawan rogue (Jedi Guardian) - Nev Krue'llyn
Mike: Female Twi'lek Dancer (Scoundrel?) - Name TBD
Nico: Wookiee (Scout? Fringer?) - Ugh-two
Will: Delusional Jedi Reformist(Jedi Guardian) - Will Malinstar
Rob: Soldier of Fortune (Soldier) - Name TBD (maybe Boda Jr.?)
Virgil: ???
Garret: ???
Kyle: ???
Jory: ???

That is 1 dm to 9 players. This could get to be bulky again. Maybe 5 players should split off and form another group. That would be 1 dm and 4 players, twice.

I'm going scoundrel. Still working some possible details out with Nico regarding a shared past, assuming that flies we'll be running it by Jay.

Virgil is out for sure as far as I know. I can't speak for the rest of the questionmarks.

Perhaps the 2 Jedi should duel it out for a spot.....

There's a good link to what the new Star Wars system will look like. looks like they've made some interesting changes that'll help the game run more smoothly as it did in the old WEG rules version.

First off ... 1 I AM NOT DELUSIONAL god I always freaking getting called names, and personally the first few times, was funny but now its just being plain old mean.... but whatever, if thats what floats your boat's people then whatever *sigh*

secondly, OMFG just looking over the new rules, i already think that well its sort of stupid but that is just what i think, i cant believe they took out force adept, tech and fringer... *sigh* and the new skills the way they use them, and hit points ? what is that.... *sigh* basically if we have to choose i would most definatly wish to stay with the old rule book as it coagulates better with the support books such as hero's guide and starships and potj and so on and so forth... but that is just me.

Anyway ... ya thats about it
How many planned Generation Points are we going to use there Jay?

Basically the reason i believe that the old system works better is that the basis for the game is basically made for the system no questions asked.

And secondly if worst comes to worst i had another character in mind, who would have started out in the force adept class... but i will be a jedi *looks up proudly*

Lastly sorry for the first off freak out, lost some control there, but i had a few minutes to atone for my actions and remove that sadly gained dark side point.

Hey Will, by saying "Will: Delusional Jedi Reformist(Jedi Guardian) - Will Malinstar", I was referring to the possibility that your character in believing he is a Jedi would make him delusional as the Jedi are no more. No insult intended, just ribbing that's all.

As far as your character knows they might be stil alive. You could be blissfully ignorant of the purge, that all depends on what information Jay provides to you.

Could get interesting.

Hey all here is an update.

First for P.C. stats I was thinking point buy and you have 34 points to use. For those of you who don't have a DMG handy here is the point berakdown.

Ability point
score cost

8 0
9 1
10 2
11 3
12 4
13 5
14 6
15 8
16 10
17 13
18 16



And lastly, the setting is almost one year after the clone wars. the empire is making it's presance known but is not all powerful, yet.

Based on that Stat Build Formula here's what I'm thinking for my Twi'lek. Str 10, Dex 16, Con 12, Int 14, Wis 10, and Cha 16. Might do some tweaking though, dip into a negative for a little character. Who needs strength when you have a Wookie buddy....

Thanks Jay. And I guess, again I didnt know the time frame, i assumed that we were playing during the clone wars, but stilll i guess i should not have presumed anything. Thank god, a 34 point buy is more then enough for what i wanted.

Here are my stats, that i was thinking of
Str 16, Dex 14, Con 16, Int 12, Wis 10, Cha, 10

I as well am thnking of doing some Tweaking as well... but this is draft 1.I personally think that Strength 16 for a 16 year old is a bit much (fyi that could i guess help me understand my "delusional" state in character, since i cannot believe that all the jedi are gone, as i was on a seperate mission etc, again whatever jay in the end decides.)

Okay, I took a moment to figure out scores. Tell me if this is optimal or not:

Str 14, Dex 14, Con 14, Int 14, Wis 14, Cha 12.

The way I figure it is that my character is rather young, pretty good at most things but not exceptional at anything.
He graduated from the Jedi Acadamy and was serving with his master (I'm thinking Aayla Secura), when she was killed during the Clone Wars. He didn't have the skills to avenge his master, so he fled and has been in hiding ever since. It just so happens he's now the cabin boy on this junky old freighter.

Dammit. i lost my long speal so ill just make this brief stupid mouse :@

ok i think that ur character is well balanced

My character obviously is focused more with the light saber so of course so his skill set is limited. but his growth is basically in perfecting the sword (starting with WF LS and QD Feats)

*sigh* forgive if this sounds blunt and out front but im not rewriting a long speal again.

hey Beer Baron, your back story works out just fine. Just for the record, Jedi master Aayla Secura and Jedi kinight Barriss Offee (the one from clone wars in the temple on Ilum) were both on Felucia when order 66 came down. Also Padawan Ekria and two unknown Padawans, who were part of a "pure Padawan force", were able to escape. There were abouts unknown.

So it works out well. As for your stats, they look kind of plain, but really balanced. Jack of all trades if you will.

In a way those are good stats for the situation you'll be forced in. Nothing really standing out so you'll be able to go into hiding easier from the Jedi Hunters and it'll help you to adapt into whatever role you need to survive.

Hey, this is Kyle using my super-secret nom de internets. Mike informed me that this is where i should show up to discuss the potential of my being included in the upcoming Star Wars game, so here I am.

So yeah, I'm interested in playing, provided my inclusion isn't bumping anyone else out of the game. If that can't happen, I'm cool with that, too.

Anyways, not entirely sure on what I'd be looking at playing. Would I be able to go into the alien anthology to pick a race? If not, Rodian or Human will probably be the top of my list. The possibility of being a fighter pilot holds no small appeal, so I'd probably be looking more at being a scout of a solider so far as class goes. Stats probably something like 11, 17, 14, 14, 8, 12, before racial adjustments.

Another option would be a spice addicted Cerean code slicer. Though I might be tempted to be a bit more goofy than what the tone of the game calls for, if that was the case.

Anyways, I'll check back with this thread later.

Cheers,
Kyle

I got bored while doing laundry.

Some beings take exception to being refered to as honourless, mercenary scum; for Zelraj Mensk, it just means he's living up to his legacy. To hear his mother tell it, Zelraj's father was an arms runner in the employ of the Hutts, and his father's father seemed to alternate between bounty hunter and outright pirate as the mood struck him. His father's father's father was a well established hyperdrive technician, but he was also considered a bit odd.

While Zelraj's mother's stories of his father's life of crime and hardships were actually ment to disuade him following down that path, all the did was serve to ignite the wanderlust that aflicts all Devaronian males. The galaxy was an imense and exciting place, and Zelraj intended to carve out a piece of it for himself, regardless of who he has to step on, knock over, or pistol whip into submission to do it.

Purchasing transport off Devaron as soon as he was able, Zelraj has begun to travel from spaceport to spaceport, hiring on extra muscle with ships traveling anywhere at all so long as he hasn't already been there. All the earnings not spent on essential items such as food, are set aside so that one day he might own a ship of his own.

Zelraj Mensk: Devaronian Scout 1; Init +4; Defense 16; Spd 10 m; VP/WP 10/14; Atk +2, +4 ranged; SV Fort +3, Ref +5, Will -1; SZ M; FP 1; DSP 0; Rep 0; Str 15, Dex 18, Con 14, Int 12, Wis 6, Chr 10.
Equipment:
Skills: Astrogate 6 (+2 dex), Hide 8 (+2 dex), Listen 2 (-2 wis), Move Silently 8 (+4 dex), Pilot 8 (+4 dex), Spot 2(-2 wis), Survival 2 (-2 wis)
Feats: Point Blank Shot, Starship Operation (space transport), Weapon Group Proficiency (blaster pistols), Weapon Group Proficiency (blaster rifles) Weapon Group Proficiency (simple weapons)

hey all, i just picked up some new charcther sheets, they also include droid, vechiel, and starship stat sheets.

Ok lets go down the roster.

Mike (Twi'lek Scoundrel)
Nico (wookie ???)
Will (human? Jedi)
Scott (human Jedi)
Kyle (Devaronian Scout)
Garret (??? ???)
Rob (??? ???)
Jory (??? ???)

Well we have quite the crew going here. Now assuming every one makes it out, we are going to have a pretty full table. I'm thinking of going with scott's suggestion that if we get one more person, that we should split in to two diffrent groups. But that is assuming everyone shows up.
