Seeking Some Star Wars (FFG system)

[ShadowFox89]

 Looking for a DM for a star wars game using the Fantasy Flight Games system, Force and Destiny specifically. Solo, duet, small game, I'm fine with either. My idea for a character is a padawan who has managed to escape Order 66 by... well... punching every clone trooper in his way until he managed to crash the cruiser he was on into an outer rim world, hiding out there for a few years before a passing freighter managed to give him a ride out of there. Now he spends his time as a bodyguard for hire while trying to figure out a way to deal with the Emperor and Vader... without getting killed. Mechanics wise, Human Guardian with the Warden specialization, using gauntlets rather than lightsabers.

I wanna play!

[ShadowFox89]

 I'm hoping I can find someone to run a game with the system. I know it's a bit wonky with pbp (the dice, mostly), but it isn't too difficult to translate. Got a character idea, Pumpkin?

[Pumpkin Seeds]

I will have to dig through my notes but won't be hard.  I love the system.

Honestly thinking Healer at this point.

[Jayna]

 I wouldn't mind joining as a third!

Also I could potentially try and run a game if we kept it to three or less people. But I can't commit to that right now.

If we don't find a GM it is a possibility though.

[Miroque]

I woudl be the 4th to join in...

[ShadowFox89]

 And just picked up the Age of Rebellion book, hopefully I can get some use out of it.

...

Well.. I'll stick my neck out some...

What kinda game people looking for..?

I had an idea for one, PCs (mix of EotE and Rebel characters) were doing some work for a crime boss or some such, but in an attempt to save his own neck turned on a bunch of his people selling them down the hyperlane..

Now they are trapped on a Lockdown Prison planet, not some organized one like most places with cells, but literal planet prison. some old world repurposed. Prisoners "run free" but are restricted from areas where imperials still hold control for functions (arrivals, administrations, shipping goods Off planet (if you want food, clothing, ect, your expected to harvest materials and bring them in, think Jakku in force awakens) but imps are mainly there to make sure things dont get To bad between the gangs that run the place and materials keep flowing.

Rumors persist of old underground bases with star ships, being able to bribe some of the imperials, or even some of the gang bosses being able to get an occasional ship to slip in past defensive perimeter of the planet, or get help from the rebellion when you manage to gather some of their people locked up there, as well as a few important targets..

I tend to run my games rather open of sorts. The world is mostly setup, and you make the decisions, i fill in the world around you, the people you interact with, and their reactions. There is some Overarching story, in this case largely being escaping the planet (with potential added note of revenge).

That sound of any interest to anybody..?

[ShadowFox89]

 Sounds like a mix of the A-Team, Suicide Squad, and Trapped in LA? I'm interested.

I've got an Edge of the Empire character I'd like to take for a spin, if you don't mind a newby to the system...

Rodian Explorer (Trader) turned Assassin. Make a great sniper, astrogator and copilot.

[TheLaughingOne]

Right, sorry about silence, but i've gotten rather distracted with some issues RL that are basicly eatting up almost all of my time:( which means i will not be able to run a alrge game right now... Sorry about that:(

maybe in the future i could do something, but im not to hopeful with how things keep playing out for me..

[Florence]

Saw Rogue One and been craving some Star Wars ever since. Don't suppose there's any hope for this game.

[wander]

I'm pondering about if I could run a game of FFG Star Wars... It'd be using pregens most likely though. If I did it as a group, it'd have to be a small one.

Also I'm most knowledgeable with Edge of the Empire over the latter games (though crossover is easy enough to do). All three games use the same system and all starting characters are at the same level of skill, so... maybe we could do something, maybe.

I'd prefer to play than run though, really.

[ShadowFox89]

 Going to bump this and try to find someone to run the game...

[Pumpkin Seeds]

Please!!!

[wander]

My Rodian Trader-Assassin is seeking a game still. :)

[Captain America]

I'd be interested in knowing more, if a game starts up.

[wander]

Also still here and willing!

[ShadowFox89]

 Bumping this, hoping to find some interest. Starting up my own game as a GM, would love to play though.

[wander]

Interested still. May or may not make up a fresh character for it if the game does run.

[Pumpkin Seeds]

Still no takers?

[ShadowFox89]

 Haven't had any luck, no. Just got the sentinel's book too.

[Pumpkin Seeds]

It's a good one.   I started getting the AoR books.

[ShadowFox89]

 Bumping this again, still looking.

[wander]

Still holding some interest as a player too.

[Pumpkin Seeds]

Well my first attempt died in flames.  I am tossing around three other ideas but unsure if they'll have much success.

Edge of the Empire idea would be a sort of Bounty Hunter/Special Forces group run by the Hutt Council.  Essentially they face threats to the Hutts as a whole and "try" to stay above the politics.  Much of this would be the characters acting as bounty hunters and doing some spy vs spy type things.

Age of Rebellion idea would be a fighter wing type situation.  Thinking the characters would serve as escorts at the start of the game, working their way toward a more specialized attack group that operates in space and on the ground.  Do have some ideas for a side project of the group but need to do more research into Clone Wars.

Force and Destiny idea would focus on the characters doing a lot of exploring and digging through old ruins.  Sort of an Indiana Jones style game or perhaps Tomb Raider with the characters trying to track down the history of Force user societies dead and current.  Thinking of a trip to the prison planet Belsavis and also some run-ins with the Night Sisters.

[wander]

I like those latter two ideas. I'm not a fan of politicking, I'd much rather a combat oriented or exploration based game, personally. Veering more towards the Force and Destiny idea, just because I'm a biggy when it comes to Lore in any setting.

I'm still newish to the system though. Ideally I'd like to be able to roll my own dice and see how my rolls affects the game, to be able to learn the system better.

Saying all that though, I'm not OP... I just wanted to state more the sort of things I'd enjoy or want from a game.

[Pumpkin Seeds]

So there is interest in Force and Destiny explorers.

[Muse]

*raises his hand*  :)  I'd be interested. 

[Pumpkin Seeds]

Alright, so I'll start setting up a recruitment thread for the game.  Will be going with Force and Destiny as a base rule system.

[wander]

Neat. :)

[Idej]

My question is with those funky dice how do we roll?

[Pumpkin Seeds]

The rolling process is a tough one.  So far I have used standard dice with a the conversion tables.

[TheLaughingOne]

[Pumpkin Seeds]

There you go.

[TheLaughingOne]

Suppose to be better one of page 12 or so of edge of empire book.

Quick copy of modified in to old post.

[Pumpkin Seeds]

Hopefully I can get stuff up this week.  Just been so sleepy lately.

[wander]

I'm still eager.

Pondering on a concept for muh character. Anyone have any thoughts of the kind of character they're going to playing yet?
