I've been wanting to start up a game of d20 Star Wars for a bit. Character creation is fairly simple, just like 3rd edition D&D, and I'd be willing to help anyone who wants to join. It would be fairly open-ended, mostly character-driven plots with GM intervention if it gets too slow. Posting commitment would be one every day or so, nothing too straining, and while I'd like for more than one sentence replies, I also don't expect an essay each time either. Combat will be resolved much the same as in Purple's game: you PM tactics, and the battle is worked out from there. If you don't know how it would play out, a prime example is on page 3 of his game.

The setting will be a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. More specifically, it'll be set in the Star Wars galaxy, during the time of the Empire. The game would start on a jungle planet in the Outer Rim where the Rebellion is hiding out, and an Imperial taskforce has been sent to investigate, especially based on rumors that the Rebels are building a secret weapon, but at an undisclosed location. Mercenaries and other freelancers would choose which side they want to be on based on their character. This is not written in stone though, and if you would rather start out playing as dirt farmers on a dirt planet who grow and change and develop their allegiances as the game progresses, it can also be done that way. More details will be defined when it becomes more apparent how many players will be in, and whether they'll be pro-Imperial, pro-Rebellion, or some sort of freelancer.

So, if interested, reply here, or if you have any questions you need answered you can hit me up with a PM or get me on MSN.

You know I'm down for some of that. Put me down as a freelancer with Imperial sympathies.

I'll give it a try. Put me down as a Sarlaac jedi.

Come on, you lazy dogs, it's Star Wars! Lightsabers and stuff!

Well, not so much lightsabers unless you want to get hunted by the Empire, but hey. Starships, space battles, lasers, and all that!

I'd be glad to join in, but I'm worried about playing in three games at once. I've also never played a star wars rpg (unless you count kotor) so I'm not sure how the rules translate.

Now that I've given all my reasons to NOT play, I'd love to try a bounty hunter who follows the money wherever it leads, most likely working for the empire but not adverse to playing both sides or working for the hutts. Is there info online anywhere covering the different races?

Basically, KotoR was a digital version of the Star Wars rules, so the only thing that should be different is character creation. Don't know if there is info online with the different races, classes, etc., but I'd be willing to put the info in a text file and share it via e-mail or MSN.

Well, it doesn't seem like we'll be overpopulated, but it still sounds like we'll have a fun game ahead of us.

Indeed. But we may have some population, it is not yet too late to join! The game has yet to start!

I'd love to try another SW game. are there going to be Wookies?

There will be Wookies! I don't suggest playing one though, if that's what you had in mind. Anyways, PM me your email address I'll send you info.

my email is not working right now.

will this be on MSN?

No, rather it will be on the forum, because that is the one format I know is available to all people here. Otherwise it would have been mentioned in the OP.

So, when does the game start?

Why didn't you stick with the wedge antilles email? Combined with this game and your collection of mint condition action figures, you could've been known as the creepy star wars guy. I don't actually know if you have a collection of toys, but I like to imagine that you do. It's funnier that way, thinking that Star Wars is woven in to every facet of your life.

Of course I understand my character's going to be the first to die now, no hard feelings.

Burn! Homey got dissed.

ok, sounds cool, let me know when to post a character sheet and i'll get one up right away.

Don't post, just send it to me via pm or email if you can get yours working. It'd be nice to have it by Saturday, since the game will hopefully start that afternoon.

And Caleb, you zinged me hard, but several years too late.

TIME PARADOX.

So, what IS Caleb playing? A wookie prostitute?

Notice he does not deny having that collection.

"So, what IS Caleb playing? A wookie prostitute?"

A Rancor noble.

Can i be a Jawa? that would be sweet!

Jawas are indigenous to Tattooine and have no methods for space transportation. The game is not on Tattooine. Therefore, there will be no Jawa PCs.

So, i should just be like a rodian?

If you are inclined to play a Rodian, by all means play a Rodian.

I'm a little rusty on my races.

Re: So. Who's up for some Star Wars?
 

Is this game still going?
I would like to join if it is.
