Note: I have not watched the Book of Boba Fett so please no spoilers.  I have also not watched the entirety of Clone Wars or Rebels, so while this will be set in the Clone Wars Era, I am not an expert.

Premise: This is intended to be a System based, high Smut, mission/heist/spy focused campaign set in the Clone Wars Era.

*I am aware the above image doesn't fit the timeframe, I could not find one I liked that did.



System
This is a system game using any of the three below:
     Star Wars: Age of Rebellion
     Star Wars: Edge of the Empire
     Star Wars: Force and Destiny
It will be set during the Clone Wars Era, and I will be relying at least somewhat on the Rise of the Separatists book.  That said, only a core rulebook is required.

The system does use unique dice.  They will either be rolled (in multiple rolls unfortunately) using the dice bot here, rolled by myself manually, or I will try and sort out an offsite option. 

I will be starting things at the Knight level of gameplay.  This means:
     150 extra XP at creation that CANNOT be spent on characteristics.
     Max rank 3 skills at character creation
     A basic lightsaber (if a Jedi) or 9000 additional credits worth of gear.

I am allowing characters from any of the three systems, and content from most books as long as you include the source (book and page) and the details.

Duty/Obligation/Morality we will sort out based on the characters. 



Structure
The characters will be part of Glory Squad, a mixed military/civilian/Jedi unit that carries out clandestine missions in support of the Galactic Republic.  As such characters would need to have something to explain their loyalty and motivation.

My intent is to structure the game as a series of missions.  These aren’t intended to be short, and would involve set-up, implementation, and aftermath. 

I don't have a specific first mission in mind at the moment, and may borrow from one of the book adventures and modify it.  I am open to suggestions and requests, and it also may come down to the group of characters we end up with.  If they are combat focused that leans toward one sort of mission, versus if they are more social or tech focused.



Smut
I want this game to be high in smut.  I will rate it Extreme, and players should be comfortable with at least Non-consensual Exotic.  If we venture into Extreme it will be with discussion and probably spoilered-out scenes.

In my mind the smut would generally be divided into two (maybe three) types:

Smut to accomplish the mission.  Having to distract a guard with sex, having to bribe someone with sex, having to go undercover as a slave, and so on.

Smut when the mission goes wrong.  Being sexually interrogated after being captured, being violated by a tentacle beast, being gang-banged by Gamorreans after distracting one of them with sex goes wrong.

Smut between characters would be the last potential option.




Characters
See the System section above for some character relevant information.

I prefer, but won’t require, that characters are women (I don’t care what the player is).  If a character is a man the player should expect less (if any) smut unless it is initiated by them or another player is willing to temporarily control an NPC.  I am fine with it occurring, but due to my own ons and offs it isn’t something I want to roleplay. 

The vibe I am going for is slutty special-forces/thief-heist/spy type stuff with a heavy dose of non-consensual sex.  That said my preference is that characters are relatively innocent (e.g., not previously a sex slave) and get drawn into the smutty situations due to patriotism and a sense of duty.



Applications
I am not going first come first served, so if this thread is unlocked I am still recruiting. 

If you are interested please include a brief description of your character, ideally including the core rulebook you will be using and any specializations.  I do not need a full character sheet at this point.

Please include a bit about what sort of plots, missions, and stories you are interested in your character being involved in, as well as any specific character-focused sub-plots you might want to explore.

Please include a bit about the smut you are interested in, especially as it relates to this game. 

I haven't decided on a specific player count as of yet, but will be aiming to keep it small.

Putting in a bit of interest here; I've got a character concept in my head already - also, information to the above statement.  Discord has a dicebot specifically for these dice (even the symbols are correct!), and I know of a couple off-site dice bots that could be used (though it lacks a self-reporting/link feature, but I've found a way to get around that).

FTR, this character would be an AoR character...do we know when in the Clone Wars this is?  (Not that I think it will matter for this particular case, but I ask.)

    I am interested, but will have to figure out the system.  I'm not really sure what kind of character I want to play, and I hope you don't mind if I just start working out the system on here.
    With that said:

    Edit:  I'm still having fun with the system, but I think I need to change her up a little bit.

Question(s) for the GM.

1: If we're an AoR character, how much Duty are we starting with?
2: Are you accepting races from all the books, even the adventure modules?

I'm not familiar with the system at all, but I'm down to learn.

Who am I? Are you sure you wanna know? The story of my life is not for the faint of heart. If someone told you I was just your average ordinary guy without a care in the world, somebody lied. Truth is it wasn't always like this. There was a time when life was a lot less complicated.

It's a narrative engine, which I think is kind of fun and chaotic.

I have sooooort of figured out character creation if you have any questions.

I've also played in a campaign with this system, too, so if you want some help working chargen and figuring stuff out, I'm available, too.

I avoid Discord as I dislike forcing off-site program usage, but it is a thought thank you.

I hadn't decided on a specific date if I'm honest.  Probably midway through, 21 BBY maybe?  But I lean towards keeping the specific date vague unless there is a reason to lock things down more specifically.

With that said:

It is a system that can take a bit of playing to figure out what works.  If you are playing around with character creation and intend to use the character, please keep track of where you spend your XP.

1) I will probably go with the default rules for Duty and assume 4 characters regardless of how many we have.  So 10 duty with the option of losing some for bonuses.  I will then probably give the group a Contribution Rank of 1 with the reward to be determined once characters are created.
2) If they are Fantasy Flight adventure modules it is probably fine, what species/module did you have in mind?

It isn't a difficult system if you have access to a book, and the advantage of play by post is that there is always time for questions and looking up rules.

That's also why I had the off-line options.  I can forward the links to them for you, if you'd like to look at them.

Okay, cool.  The module I had in mind was Friends Like These, because they let you make Mandalorians as a player race.  We know from available Clone War information that Mandalorians fought on all sides of the conflict: the Cuy'val Dar for the Republic, the Death Watch for the CIS, and the New Mandalorians, who wanted to stay neutral throughout the whole thing.

For character generation Oggdude's character generator is pretty good and has a lot of stuff in it even if details still need the book. It tracks xp and show's when you're over and everything. You do have to download it though.

No problem, I can definitely do that.  My first try had an outline of how I was spending my XP.

I kind of really like making characters using the system.

Aaaand done.  I don't know if I followed the rules for the talent tree, and I'm not really sure what duty is, and I'm preeeeetty sure my character sucks.  Reading over the rules, I think she should have "mechanics," "vigilance," and "charm."

Sorry for the delay in responding.

Unfortunately it doesn't look like there is enough interest to make this one work, so I will be cancelling it.

Thank you for your interest and effort.
