Thoughts on a Star Wars Game...

[Blackrat]

Especially since it wasn't really done BY the Republic, but independent explorers doing the insane and charting new hyperspace routes...i.e. blind hyperspace jumps into who-knows-where and hoping they didn't go through a star in the process.

Course, those that didn't hit a star had a pesky little problem of running into the ancient Sith.

Oh now this makes me feel all tingly inside . That would be so cool idea to play.

But to be true, it still sounds a bit like ST: To boldly go where no man has gone before...

Fixed that for ya.

Pfft. Boldly? That's for punks...profit is where its at!

Can you imagine the money involved in opening up a new hyperspace lane to hundreds of new planets?

Those wimpy Star Trek explorers are all so safe, just going to warp speed and knowing where they're going. Star Wars explorers don't have charts! They even travel in hyperspace, a completely different dimension and, thus, see nothing! Real explorers! Rar!

Fixed that for you.

I voted surviving the dark times because I think it'd be great to play a Jedi (or even a Seperatist soldier) who has started wondering what the heck the point of it all was now that the Jedi have all died. There are some great psychological stories that could be told there-along with some great action.

I voted for the Rebellion era, but the Dark Times era sounds really good. Too bad the New Republic ideas weren't coming. Only era I haven't gamed in, as far as I know.

Bah! Profit = Upgrades!

...just begging to play a droid with a restraining bolt, aren't we?

That's pretty much the only draw of the Dark Times era for me. It still can have the space opera type action that is Star Wars, but is one of the few eras very much suited for more psychological looks at characters. The Vong war is pretty good for it, too, though that seems to develop a good love/hate diversity amongst people.

No idea why none came up, as that's the era that seems to have everything: stormtroopers to kill, new Jedi appearing, still a bit of a the Galactic Civil War, darksiders here and there, and X-Wings. I mean, really, its perfect! But nothing specific comes up for it this time. Maybe that's a good sign. Next time I'm working out a New Republic game it'll have to be good!

I love the Yuuazhan Vong, I really do. Add to the fact of the Potentium reshowing its ugly face at the time and you can have some real psychological drama.

I voted for the Rebellion Era but I think the New Republic Era would rock if you had any ideas for a campaign in it.

 

[Wintergypsy]

Well...with this amount of players it'd sure be a big campaign
(DarkStryder, anyone? )
