Did it start to give you a feel for the planet Kabal?Yeah, I like that general direction you're going in...I was looking over the PCs so far:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Sexual slavery victim scrapping by in a dangerous predatory culture.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Murderous droid that spaced an entire freighter's personnel out of vengeance.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Former favored son of a Spice-dealing mafia family trying to redeem himself.</li> </ul>And there's a real edge there, real darkness, pushing right up against my initial PG-13 guideline. I'm thinking about running with that a little more... Maybe the Resistance is fragmented now and there are some involved with it who have questionable methods that have gone unchallenged since Leia has been distracted by politics, her son falling to the Dark Side, and searching for a new base. So the party's Resistance contact might be leveraging their strengths/pasts in ways that put the PCs in difficult spots. For example, Kospirian might need to deal with unsavory Spice-traders / slave-dealers to get a job done (his experience comes in handy, but his morals make him balk). Rex might need to infiltrate a First Order vessel where it turns out a surviving smuggler with details on Rex is held captive (making him choose between getting the codes easily or freeing the smugglers and sounding an alarm). For Arsinoë I think she might be asked to dance (that's her forte after all) for an unsavory character, perhaps someone in local crime on Kabal with ties to the First Order with a taste for young human cantina dancers, and plant a small transmitting beacon on him or his ship.EDIT: That might be bordering on more direct involvement in the Resistance than you're imagining yet, so alternately Arsinoë might just keep an ear to the ground at the cantina for potential bits of information divulged by drunken men and aliens to pass on to the Resistance. Maybe she heard something so sensitive – rumors of First Order presence in the rainforest outside Spirepoint – that she went to confirm it on her own before passing it on?EDIT: Another alternative just sprung to mind. Arsinoë might be taken into the rainforests under false pretenses to reunite with her betrothed Samas. It's just an excuse for a grimy alien to exploit her, but it does have implications in that the alien knows about Samas...perhaps the alien is a lookout who has indeed contacted Samas (or plans to).</blockquote>
