Living ENWorld for Star Wars?

[Daiymo]

So Ive been watching with interest the Living ENWorld thing going on. The idea of online linked world rpg play has always intrigued me. So my question is what about Wizards other rpg, Star Wars?

Could a online campaign like the Living Force work on ENWorld? Would there be interest?

Any thoughts?

It would be harder, since in LEW, you can make alot of stuff up. Star Wars leaves ya kinda stuck in that respect. However, I would probaly play in it.
Also, theres the whole "3 diffrent time periods" going on.

True. My thought would be to set the thing in its own sector of space, composed of dozens of systems to allow plenty of worldbuilding. As for period I would probably go with the Rebellion, although it would probably be an "alternate" Rebellion. Or it could be immediately after the Battle of Endor, but with all the canon EU stuff thrown out.

It would definatly take a lot more work than LEW...but it would be possible. It would be best in the Rebellion Era, mainly since its most well known and just is filled with tons of adventures. It would take a lot of organization for the factions...possible...but I'm not sure its all that feasible. I'd gladly take on a role to help get it running...but I'm not sure its can really be done.

Why rebellion? Why not another period? Let's do it Knights of the Old Republic style if we do it.

I'd rather do a Star Wars than a D&D, but I like SW more than D&D.

This would be awesome! I think Daiymo's idea of post-Endor minus the EU canon would be the best idea. You get to build on the familiarity of the movies but the PC's and GM's can take the story anywhere.

Your welcome to try your hands at it. I think the biggest problem would be getting a large enough group of players.

A suggestion I can think of would be to try to get 3 or 4 simultaneous star wars game going at the same time. If you can manage to have these, and coordinate them, you can probably build it up to a living setting. I now wish I had handled LEW like that (step by step, in phases). Of course, LEW is working out relatively well, though it could be busier. I'd like it if it was a little busier. My plan is to make it incredibly busy very soon...

Well, I know I'd be interested in playing, certainly seems interesting enough.

Creamsteaks suggestion about doing 3 or 4 simultaneous games seems like a good idea. I guess we can let thin thread drift for a while and see who responds once the weekday crowd hits the boards. Hopefully there will be enough interest-it seems there are quite a few SW games on the boards (almost as many as AU LOL).

I would vote, if it came to it, for the post Endor period. Like immediately after. That would have had to have been a chaotic time, full of confusion and lawlessness, Hutt lords grabbing for power, unrepentant Imperial Moffs running around and maybe even a few previously repressed Dark side acolytes who want to bring back the Sith.

Sounds good to me, I'll put a vote in for that period as well.
