[Gauging Interest] WEG Star Wars

[Insight]

I'm going to assume we are starting with base characters, so I'll start working on something today when I have time.

Yeah, basic starting characters. There are a few things I kind of want to note.

1) I don't particularly care if you fall perfectly within a race's range for attributes. They're pretty arbitrary, so as long as aren't totally min-maxing, I don't mind if you fudge a bit on those.

2) Since there are many species that have been introduced since the WEG rules came out, feel free to just come up with whatever sounds reasonable to you. If, for example, you want to play a Nautolan, just give him (or her) stats that are reasonable, and we'll work together to figure out special abilities and such.

3) Also, feel free to play a new species, if you want. That's part of Star Wars to me - seeing new things. If you think you have a cool idea for a new species, and it has the appropriate Star Wars feel, I'm cool with that.

I'm pretty laid back, as a GM, and even more so on pBp. To me, it's all about telling a good story together. I like working with players to come up with characters they really enjoy.

WEG Star Wars is a really cool system!

Count me in, if you start something.

I think I have the revised edition (some blue hardcover book), but don't ask me where it is.

I will take a look into the usual hiding spots of my older books...

Great! Welcome aboard!

If you have any specific questions about the system, go ahead and ask. It sounds like any of the three of us could answer them for you.

What kind of character would you be interested in playing?

I'd like to offer Wookieepedia to those unfamiliar with the site. It has a TON of Star Wars related information and trivia.

 

[d2OKC]

It is also a great resource for Star Wars images, which are a good place to get inspiration for a character. I've used it many times for just that reason.

Looks good. Can't wait to see the fluff to go with the crunch!

No worries. If I do not find my own, I will borrow it from a friend.

What kind of character would you be interested in playing?

Good question... maybe a Bounty Hunter? Those are always cool!

Depends a bit, of course, what direction you want the campaign to go.

Bye

We've kind of discussed this game being about a group of scoundrels already - a bounty hunter would fit in well! If you are all working for the same boss, it would make sense to me that a bounty hunter might occasionally need a lift from one of the patron's transporters.

I probably won't be on a lot tonight, but I'll be able to check my email, so if you guys post anything I'll see it. If you can, start working on those characters and let me know what you come up with.

I'm very excited about this. I think it's going to be a lot of fun.
