Industrygothica's "Those Left Behind" [OOC]

[Friadoc]

Awesome. I was trying out for that campaign before, but I had a weird few days and the recruiting had closed. I would have applied for now, but I thought the recruiting in it was closed.

*grins*

Thanks, Shayuri!

Now to figure out what the group composition is and what'd I'd like to play, I should have myself done and done today. I hope.

Thanks for the good luck, Scott D!

How, exactly, is the Star Wars game set up, anyway? Is it tied to the plots of the movies, or is it more like Traveller with decent rules?

Star Wars Saga Edition lets you play in any era, either in sync with the movies, or doing your own thing. It's very open ended, like Traveller, with the eras only mattering if you wish them to matter.

The Main (official) Eras, thus far, are as follows: Old Republic, Clone Wars, Rise of the Empire, Rebellion, New Jedi Order, and Legacy.

There is so much open space in those eras, as well as between those eras, that you can avoid much of the movies, use them as flavor, or take part in them at your hearts desire.

Wow!! That sounds really cool! I've always wished for a good sf game. The closest I've seen is Space Opera, and, while it was good, it was HORRIBLY complicated and unweildy (if you didn't have a graduate degree in physics or mathematics). If this is a D20 offering, then I'd really like to get my hands on it. Really, really, really!

 

[Friadoc]

It is most definitely a d20 offering, Leif. It's been out for almost two years now, in Star Wars Saga Edition form, and is a variant of d20, a good variant in my view, and one of the best Star Wars RPGs that I've ever played, be it d6 or d20.

It sounds like something that I definitely need to check out, then. You may have just made a new convert!

 

[Friadoc]

It is one of my favorite offerings, that's for sure, so a convert is a welcome thing. In addition to the books, there is an excellent site that offers things, too. Saga Edition.Org has some good tidbits.

I just went to ebay and bid on 4 SWRPG books. One was what looked like the main, important book. That auction doesn't end for a couple of days, so I've got plenty of time to lose it. Two of the auctions end tomorrow, though. Maybe I'll get lucky?

 

[Friadoc]

It's Star Wars Saga Edition, right?

They're very unique looking books, as they're all square, as opposed to the more traditional rectangle shape that we're use to.

Good luck on your auctions, though.

 

[Leif]

yeah, I know at least one of them was. haha Sort of a square-looking black deal. I'm not sure about the others. Maybe, maybe not. Guess I'll get 'em pretty cheap if not, huh? Thanks for the good wishes.

Yeah, the black book, square with Vader alone on the cover is the main book for Saga Edition. If you get books from the prior edition, they're awesome for a lot of additional information and only require a bit of conversion.
