[SWd20]Off on the Rim OOC(Full)

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

This is the OOC thread for the Star Wars d20 Game I've been 'forced'() into starting.

The game will be set in the Rebellion Era, two months after the Battle of Yavin. The PCs will be either mercenaries, smugglers, or Rebels(You guys get to decide.) out on the Outer Rim planet Korin VII, just barely outside of Hutt Space.

Everyone will start at 1st level. I will roll starting credits for everyone according to the numbers in the Revised Core Book. As usual with the Rebellion Era, no one can start as a Jedi, though it MAY be possible to become one later depending on certain circumstances.

The books that I have and will be using for this game(as well as allowing you access to) beyond the Revised Core Book are:
Coruscant and the Core Worlds(Yes, I know we aren't in the Core...but there are some things in there. Never know.
Ultimate Alien Anthology
Starships of the Galaxy
Rebellion Era Sourcebook
Arms and Equipment Guide

I also have Powers of the Jedi, but I doubt that could get any use in this game.

I'd like to have 6 PCs for this game. So far, we have...
Brother Shatterstone
KitanaVorr
Paxus Asclepius
deadestdai
Festy_Dog

So...I'd like just ONE more player. If there IS more interest in the game, I may bump the number of PCs up some, but I don't want to get it up too high.

One more player, eh? Consider my name tossed into the hat (If there's someone who posted on the other thread, they have priority, obviously).

Unless I missed someone(and I can be blind sometimes), then that would make you the *sends of confetti and bells, etc etc etc etc etc* Sixth Player!! */celebration*

Ah! I knew I forgot something in that post! Stat Generation. I'd like you guys to use a 28 Point Buy for you stats. Hmm...did I miss anything else?

Thanks for the grand welcome.

Now we just need to figure out whether we're starry-eyed idealists or opportunistic bottom feeders. The concept currently brewing in my head is of the bottom-feeder type, so I'll vote for that.

"Messa is here!"

So what type of classes can we play? (and other pc creation questions)

Is it possible to play a character that is tuned to the force but rather unskilled? (like seen in Jedi Academy) Or are we strictly no Jedi?

I'm taking a scout, how much money do I start off with?

The basic rule is no Jedi, not no Force users. The Force Adept class, or a Force-Sensitive without Force-user levels, is acceptable in a standard Rebellion campaign. I'm not in a position to interpret the GM's will, but on the Rim, I can't see it being that unreasonable for a Force-using tradition to have gone unnoticed.

I'm perfectly willing to go any of the three routes; idealism and pragmatism work equally well for me.

Lance was born on Corellia 27 years ago. Instilled with dreams of patriotism, he applied to the Imperial Academy on Carida, where he was accepted as a Combat Engineer trainee. Unfortunately, his skills in marksmanship and mechanics exceeded his wisdom, and he was court-martialed for striking a superior officer in a bar brawl. Fortunately, he was able to bribe his way into a dishonorable discharge without brig time, and left the planet as quickly as possible. He has since migrated far from the Core, working his way as a trainer and mechanic for mercenary units.

I'm taking a scout, how much money do I start off with?

don't worry I had the same question...

No I don't... It was your other question that I was going to ask... I swear he didn’t have the stat information before.

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Force-Sensitive without Force-user levels, is acceptable in a standard Rebellion campaign.

I think that's what "messa" wants. I'm curious how quickly do we need to have these done I was thinking about getting some of those books you have listed but I'll need to order from amazon.

If anyone wants a share the love on those books let me know, but quickly.

So my dream of a force sensitive Gungan could come to fruition... :evil grin:

Oh are we only going to be first level characters? (Not asking for anything super high, but I figure 2nd or 3rd level would allow for a more realistic representation of our backgrounds)
