Star Wars SAGA: Treasure of the Dowager Queen (OOC)

[Diesel]

(Recruiting is now closed)

I may be crazy, as Im currently running a Dawn of Defiance game, but I really love the SAGA ruleset. So Id like to start another Star Wars game.

This game was inspired by the Star Wars Underworld graphic novel/comic. A game based in the frontier and underworld parts of the SW universe. Great deeds and threats await of course, but the motivations may be different.

Setting is 100 BBY.
Characters will begin at level 2
3-5 players
No jedis- force sensitive characters are allowed
No droids
Core Rulebook only for now.
28 point buy
max credits at level 1

Max hp at first level. At each level after characters gain:

Noble and Scoundrel 4 hp + con modifier
Scout 5 hp + con modifier
Jedi and soldier 7 hp + con modifier

Also, I would actually like no humans- the idea of runing an all "alien" game appeals to me. But if you really want to be a Mandolorian (or something similar) and have an interesting concept, I'll listen.

This game may have a more D&D feel to it. Your characters are free agents, mercs, bounty hunters, regulators, etc..not evil but trying to get ahead. Heroes, albeit reluctant ones.

Will you allow races from outside the Saga books? There are a few great online conversions for the Ultimate Alien Anthology which offers up close to a hundred extra species options.

 

[Diesel]

Is this from Saga edition.com? Sure let me know what you have in mind-I'm open to discussion.

 

[Bialaska]

Sounds interesting, I'm definitely interested. Got an idea for a Trandoshan Soldier who works for highest bidder as a mercenary.

 

[possum]

This one would like to play a Barabel scoundrel. That makez his tail shake.

 

[Diesel]

Ok the trandoshan and the Barabel sound fine with me. A very reptillian vibe so far

I was hesitant to include the conversions form Saga Edition but the community there does a pretty good job of checking each others work, so an "unofficial" race is probably going to be ok.

There is also a document that has several other expanded races collected from various offical sources which can be found here.

Opening the floodgates to include Alien Anthology species works for an this type of a game. So go crazy y'all.

 

[Blackrat]

Goodness gracious, another SW game! I wants in! The only reason I didn't jump at your DoD was 'cause I'm already playing it. How about another 'Dosh? I've got this pilot character ready that I never got chance to play...

I'll just copy/paste the character from the older thread. The background needs some work to be done, since it has a passage about Clonewars but I'll see to it later:

[sblock=Background & Description]Born to a wealthy clan of 'Dosh warriors S'Sheer has never felt poverty in his life, nor is he going to, thanks to the stipend his clan has given him. He was trained in traditional ways of 'Dosh, becoming a hardy warrior and was schooled to become officer. To get real battlefield experience he was sent with an mercenary-company to learn, but unfortunatily, the rest of the group got slaughtered in a battle against wookiees. S'Sheer was saved by a wandering stranger. He swore a life-debt as is customary for his people.

S'Sheer is quite reckless when let in the cockpit but his flying skills are no doubt extraordinary. He is not typical 'Dosh in that he is friendlier than his species' reputation but nevertheless he is as ferocious warrior as all his kin.

S'Sheer is short and agile for a 'Dosh, with almost black scales spotted with reddish tint. He has once lost an arm and for that reason his left hand and arm are a bit lighter shade than the other.[/sblock]

 

[Diesel]

Another Dosh cool. Were going all reptillain.

Marius is a human Jensaarai from the Suarbi system, in the Quence Sector, containing the planet Suarbi 7 and the primary star Suarbi. It is located in the Outer Rim between the Corellian Run and Rimma Trade Route.
After some "misunderstandings" between his force sect and the empire, the Jensaarai send him out to find other resistance groups aginst the emporer's rule. He is wary of other force-users and tries to keep his abilities secret. His secret possessions include his "ceremonial" armor, fashioned like a Corellian sand panther and his indigo lightsaber.
