>>97304161A common mistake for the beginners.>>97258796
>TQI'm working on writing a fanfic centered around a TIE Interceptor squadron set some months after the Battle of Endor as the Empire is starting to fracture into warlordism. I'm taking a lot of inspiration from Rogue Squadron books and Battlestar Galactica, plus the TIE Fighter and Ace Combat video games.Some tidbits >small patrol group consisting of a pocket carrier-configured Loronar Strike Cruiser and two Arquitens light cruisers >squadron is based on the Loronar strike cruiser along with a depleted squadron of TIE Bombers>main character is part of a handful of planetary defense aerospace pilots given a chance of joining the squadron to fill up slots left by dead pilots>mainly human character except 1-2 near-humans (probably miralan, umbaran and/or pantoran)>first chapter will follow the Rogue Squadron style of in-medias-res impossible-to-win sim combat>first actual combat deployment will be vs pirates with way too much imperial hardware and training>later action will involve a trench run through mining/refinery complex tunnels on a heavily defended asteroid>maybe a cameo or two from some lesser-known named pilots form the X-Wing minatures game like pic related. Now I just need to flesh out the in-between parts and nail down the different squadron member personalities (and maybe a romance sub-plot if i can figure out how to write decent non-cringe romance scenes)
>TQTrying to plan my next session. Players rolled 2 succeses and 1 threat when astrogating through imperial warlord space, have been trying to think of a fun little encounter they'd have to deal with that they could easily handle, but could spiral out of control if they aren't careful
>>97304322Maybe a encounter with a drifting Imperial Probe droid hyperspace pod that misjumped? >if they fumble it, it could alert the closest Imperial warship to their position/ship signature>if they ace it they could reprogram it for their own use
>>97304813forgot my pic
Thoughts on a TIE Vulture droid?
>>97304062Ain't got no projects.
>>97305448I remember making that way back. Here's the updated version where it shows the split wing ability as well.
>>97305567That thing looks like it would be a absolute super-maneuverable bitch to dogfight.
how do yall feel about the tie mauler. i think its dumb as bricks but in a charming way.
>>97305678It has that ugly pug charm. It will however fuck up non-mechanized infantry something fierce which makes it a cheap-enough and good-enough machine for putting down guerilla hotspots where AT-STs aren't available
>>97304813That's good, I think it'll be a far flung scout from the Warlord they're personally feuding with. It'll be surveying wreckage from a previous battle between two other warlords
>>97305454Get one.
>97301748>Yep they are property.Anon no, just because she needs to be your helpless little plaything at night doesn't mean she can't be your valued partner.
imagine flustering your "rough in the streets, meek in the sheets" tomboy twilek by >whispering "good girl" in her ear when on a mission>"accidentally" running a finger along her lekku>subvocalizing dirty talk on her private comlink frequency>making her sit at your feet to make the slaveowner act more believable to Imperials
>>97296618First mentioned in Rebels but we were all expecting it to be the original Grand Moff Parkin' incident. >>97296837The Mandowank in the Repcom books made sense because there was only one Jedi master and he really did need the two mandalorians as effectively super-sergeants (and the only opne who could tardwrangle the Nulls), so spending time debunking their grousing with Facts and Logic while he was busy staining his own soul ordering all sorts of blackops wetwork that left him on shaky ground was probably not on the schedule. The only other jedi were kids who didn't fit in with the order well.>>97300215I do not like really like the new chestplates compared to the classic stormtrooper pectoral plate and Snow/Army trooper thick plate) but helmet wise Tank trooper and Deathtrooper look pretty good helmet wise, shoretrooper looks like a worse tanktrooper and in fact was originally intended to replace the Tank Trooper entirely. George Lucas actually saved the Tant Trooper helmet from the discard bin when he went to check in on his own haunts and said he really liked it. Arms, legs and the belly plate look fine on each. Mousewars in general suffers from the refusal to use the sterling folding stock as anything but a foregrip and most of the new guns suck.Death Trooper Body glove being corrugated rubber hose was weird.
>>97306592She will be fighting her genetic instincts every step of the way.
>>97306901Man, those old Dark Horse comics were kino
>>97306592>>97306687>>97306901Flustered twileks are best twileks
>>97306942They really are. Felt more like Star Wars than any comic since Disney.
Get ready for the Ahsoka Wars multiverse
>>97306988invest in wolves and ahsoka NOW
>>97306901She's a grown-up Twi'lek woman, she can handle that for a few hours in public.She can be my willing slave plaything at night, and if she's managed to be a Strong Independent Twi'lek all day she even gets to wear her collar like a good girl.>>97306947Challenge mode: Try that with a Dathomiran.
>>97306988LolLMAOAt least Crazy Cat gave us Andor and R1.I wonder how Furloni would mismanage the whole IP
>>97306988Too late, there is only apathy now. They woked too close to their female force.
>>97307057>At least Crazy Cat gave us Andor and R1Yeah, but at the same time she gave us the ST, BoBF, Mando S3, Kenobi and Acolyte.Solo and the first two Mando seasons are in the middle somewhere.Sadly they pivoted wildly from Star Wars Story movies to streaming shows to announcing crazy numbers of projects to quietly shelving every movie project to cancelling all streaming to . . .yeah whatever, it's not all KK's decisions that resulted in the death of the franchise. She's just the face of incompetent management at the end of a decade of Hollywood incompetence.
Where did they go wrong?
>>97306988Inevitable but still undesirable.
>>97307101not having sex
>>97306988>"it's totally going to happen this time", says Pat McGroinI'll believe it when I see it.
>>97307114Revan understood sex would make him weaker. This is why he's canonically worse after getting with Bastila, the jedi removed that part of his brain.
>>97307136he is canonically more powerful after his edgelord phase
>>97307162Notice he still lost to Vitiate, who also lost after having sex. Vader made this mistake too.
>>97306592>doesn't mean she can't be your valued partner.But not as co-pilot, hire duros or corelian for that. Keep twi-lek to deal with lone and bored custom officer.
>>97307318You can't trust a Corellian or Duros to handle your ship. They'll crash it. It needs a deft and properly trained hand.
>>97305678Raith Sienar has gone too far and must be stopped.
>>97307495I don't see the issue.
>>97305678I only like it as a shitty warlord design made cause there were a ton of TIE parts lying around, maybe with help from some Sienar engineers. But the actual Empire ought to have real tanks rather than shitty retooled starfighters
>>97307522Sienar, you can't just do lines of glitterstim off Twi'lek hookers' asses and stick alternate solar panels on the TIE ball while calling it a new tank design!
>>97307624Why?
>>97307582Hmm my space autism fails. I only recognize the AT-AT and TX tank. What are the others?
>>97307686LAVr QH-7 Chariot from the Thrawn TrilogyThe other two are Fractalsponge originals, the MAVr A7 Broadsword-class Repulsortank and the HAVr A10 Scythe Heavy Repulsortank.
>>97306977Why is M Bison there?
>>97307734Absolute units.
>>97308475Yeah they're meant to be part of the Saber-Class family. I don't always like Fractal's stuff (by God his AT-PT looks ugly and doesn't fit in Star Wars at all), but the tanks are good shit. And that image is old and doesn't really do them justice with the abhorrent lightingI also didn't mention other non-tank ground vehicles which would make sense like Juggernauts or the Sub-Ter Rover which has been repopularized by EC Henry (which imo also makes sense for warlords to have, it seems like more an utility vehicle even if classified as a MAVw)
>>97309782wheeled vehicles always are jarring to me in star wars. the turbo tank barely skirts it because its a giant 6 wheeled monster tank.
>>97309801I can see all kinds of vehicles existing. Walkers, repulsorlifts, treads, wheelsRepulsorlifts are good tech but let's be honest, in worlds with a lot of mud or ice or anything that can interfere with it it makes sense that wheels would exist since they're more robust even if more primitive as well comparatively. I remember EC Henry pointing out that in Episode 1 we see a landspeeder just like Luke's with wheels (actually was the original ANH landspeeder model repainted lol), which implies landspeeders may have wheels for when the repulsorlifts jam which makes sense with planets as harsh as Tatooine.
>>97309830oh sure, the simplicity of a wheel will never become superfluous no matter how advanced the tech is. Its just quite rare to see it in focus within setting without the legwork of horrid terrain or obsolete technology.
>>97309865I personally think there's precedent for wheels existing even in luxury worlds like Coruscant (no, not just in the lower levels). I do agree they'd be far more common when it comes to rough terrain and conditions but hey, we still see very old outdated car models being used to this day.Star Wars has definitely always had a taste for "obsolete tech". For instance, look at how slugthrowers still exist in many parts of the galaxy.
>>97306988Did you know Kathleen was a producer behind Back to the Future? I just saw that the other weekend when I rewatched it.
The main issue with the NR in canon is Mothma was put in charge of all people instead of Ponc.
Logically speaking Dooku is probably remembered rather fondly in galactic history by the time of the OT within the outer rim. Him being a sith wouldn't be common knowledge or considered impeiral propaganda, and would be seen as a figure who tried to prevent imperial rule and the exploitation that came with it.
>>97307840Saul Karath in his original republic admiral uniform.
>>97312736If they can all but erase common knowledge of the jedi order then they can absolutely erase knowledge of Dooku, and I don't see why they wouldn't.
>>97312958Was there ever actually common knowledge of the jedi? Especially in the outer rim? Anakin in TPM talks about them as if they are some mythical figures that can't be killed, not much different to how Motti dismisses them as some wacky wizards. There were only around 10k during the PT, your odds of encountering a jedi outside of the core is probably next to impossible, and you're planet might have never hosted one in literal centuries.
>>97307495Let me see that business card you found Sienar through.>Rugged, Practical Designs>No More Spice!Oh, I see, they messed up the print run again! This should say,>Rugged, Practical Designs?>No, More Spice!
Recommendations on droids? I got invited to an edge of the empire game and I wanted to play one but I'm not sure what type to go with
>>97312736Obi-Wan and Yoda could have told Luke about him at some point and that could be passed into the records of his order.
>>97313762Be a B1 droid and just troll everybody with your "Roger roger" responses and simplistic military programming.
>>97312568Shit, she has one hell of a resume from the 80s and 90s. She was a producer on ET, Gremlins, Hook, Jurassic Park, Indian in the Cupboard, Sixth Sense and many more. Executive producer on Goonies, the whole Back to the Future trilogy, An American Tail, Roger Rabbit, Schindler's List and so many more. She was also Associate Producer on the Indiana Jones movies and the original Poltergeist. She started to fall off in the 2000s, with only a few good movies afterwards but from that resume, and her longtime friendship with George, it really seemed like a good choice at the time.I think her biggest mistake was hiring JJ and not keeping him on a very tight leash.
>>97313762Played a droid in FFG. Had a lot of fun. Fluffed that I was a former Imperial Security Droid that had been stolen from the Imps and forced to fight in underground robot gladiator arenas for years. I just wanted to make a big dumb punchy robot, but as people dropped out of the campaign all that were left were a lot of new players and the old guy who didn't want to take point so I had to act as the lead.Granted, the droid eventually got painted hot rod red and had a mohawk and wore krayt dragon scales as armour and as a cloak.Also bought a spaceship and painted it hot pink. Mostly to annoy another player who thought it was gay, but in-character because the droid thought the pink was a bold and masculine statement.The campaign lasted over two years and by the end I had 18 soak and 42 Wounds. "Only" 18 Strain as an intentional droid weakness.It was really fun constantly reminding the GM that his poison gas traps don't work on me.
>>97313821tell me more of your droid. sounds like a cunt to the dm's plans.
>>97313831Well, I've told the story on /tg/ before about punching a krayt dragon to death in our second session, forcing him to give me the promised 1,000,000 credit bounty and fucking up all money scaling for the rest of the campaign.Or the time we were hired to clear a hutt's ancestral crypt of rakghouls and I came up with the idea to gas them. Give me a few secs.
>>97313831So about the droid, he was a big guy with 5 Brawn to start. Fights by punching things using wrist vamblades.The party had had our first session on an abandoned space station and barely escaped with our lives, our ship blasted into hyperspace but barely held together for a rough landing on Tatooine. We're told we can either fix the old junker for 20,000 credits or buy a brand new(ish) ship for 35,000. It was the GM's way of giving us a goal for the odd jobs we'd take up while stranded on Tatooine.One of the odd jobs he mentions was wildlife pest control. With bounties on various species, like a Whomprat infestation that would pay 10 credits per rat. Or troublesome Banthas paying 200 credits. Off-hand mentions 50,000 credits to deal with a sarlacc or 1,000,000 credits for a krayt dragon.Well, you know what I had to try to go for. It was my first FFG campaign and while I was aware of how big Krayts were, but not how ridiculous their stats were compared to mine (pic related is the statblock).I ask the rest of the party if they wanted to go with me. No one else is brave enough. They're all doing stuff like bodyguard work, or random repair work, or training for a big pod race with a hefty 5000 credit purse.So I rent a skiff and fly out into the desert at night. Alone.After a few rolls, the GM says I spot a krayt dragon, sleeping in a sand pit, not a care in the world.I fly my skiff as high as I can above it and leap out. I think I'm going to some silly anime-style hit of landing on its head, using the momentum of my body to drive my vamblades into its skull. I roll my damage, 14."It takes none of that. Also, your blades take a point of wear." (if anyone isn't familiar, FFG gives equipment 3 pips of wear before they break and have to be repaired)Well okay then.(TBC)
>>97313873(cont)I think I'm going to be clever and run to the back of its skull and try to stab its neck. Roll 11 damage."It takes none of that. Your blades take another point of wear. And the Krayt dragon starts to wake up"He's trying to hint to me that I should just hop off this thing and run and hide.As if.I hang onto its skull as it rears up, fully awake now. It knows I'm on its head and flicks its head up trying to dislodge me.I have a brilliant idea of letting it flick me straight up into the air.GM describes me going up, the krayt looking at me, opening its mouth, complete with bits of creatures like rancors still stuck between its teeth, and rolls an attack to swallow me. He is nice and gives himself one Red die to see if I can be saved.It works, he rolls a Despair. I'm lodged in its throat. He gives me one attack to do some damage and be spit out and get one more chance at life.I roll. Only 10 damage, but GM isn't going to use its massive Soak value because I'm literally inside it at this point.In addition to the damage, there's a double Triumph.Roll on the Crit chart (anyone not familiar, in FFG, you roll a D100, plus or minus modifiers, and consult a chart to see what sort of damage you cause (pic related). Critical wounds are cumulative until healed) Rolled a 74. He starts to describe it as Hamstrung, but otherwise... "wait, did you add 80 to that?""No. That would be 154"GM looks at the chart.Looks at me.Looks at the chart.Looks at me."That wasn't supposed to happen."FFG's chart, any critical of 151+, target is Dead.I get back to town an claim my 1,000,000 credits and sell the krayt skull for another 250,000 to a collector.Everyone else is jelly as fuck.That 30,000 credits for a ship becomes chump change overnight.It would be several sessions later before I would get my chance to get my own ship to paint bright pink. The 30,000 credit junker was the whole party's ship.
And my droid gassing the 'ghouls story. The GM included rakghouls because... he likes rakghouls. Don't get me started on his Mando boner. And this was years before the Mandalorian show was even announced.The party was hired by a Hutt to clear out his ancestral crypt of some "pests" that had been deposited there while on Nar Shaddaa. We're told in no uncertain terms that we'll be fucked by a six-foot rancor dick if we damage any of the art or frescoes that decorate the elaborate, underground tomb. He tells us to contact his majordomo(a very flamboyant droid) if we need anything else and we're shoved out the door.We get to the crypt and find the doors have been broken open. But we can't see anything within. I kept a small remote droid packed just for such occasions. I send in the remote with a live video feed back to me so it can scout the area. See that the "pests" are rakghouls, which we had encountered earlier in the campaign. Most of the rakghouls pay the floating remote no mind as it ventures deeper and deeper into the ancient tomb. Finally get to the burial chamber of the patriarchs of the lineage and see this 5-meter tall, four-armed, red rakghoul. This one regards the remote for a moment before reaching out and crushing it with one of its arms.As I tell the party, they come up with the idea of sending a person in (meaning me, because if I get hit, I'm immune to the plague) to aggro the rakghouls and lure them outside to a redoubt at the entrance where overlapping fields of fire should make short work of anything that walks outside. I decide I don't like being the bait bot and take a moment to think of a plan of my own.I call up the majordomo and ask him to bring industrial amounts of CO2.GM and rest of the party is just staring at me. I tell him the plan: "We're gonna gas the 'ghouls"(TBC)
>>97313881(cont)The party looks at me like I'm crazy. I point out that Nar Shaddaa is a world with expansive industry and so they would have CO2 in abundance for its many uses in various industries. And that the Nar Shaddaa atmosphere is mostly N2 and O2, the CO2 would sink. We defeated the earlier rakghoul encounter on a Star Destroyer by barricading ourselves in the control tower and opening the rest of the ship to space. So we had established within our game that the rakghouls did need to breathe.Rest of the party is staring at me now. I point out that we are under contract to not damage anything inside the tomb. We can't damage anything if we don't actually go inside. So we'll get huge tanks of CO2, run hoses down the entranceway stairs and start pumping and simply wait. We'd still setup the redoubt with our heavy guns and barricades just in case anything comes rushing out.GM is tossing through his notes to see if he has a response before just relenting. He (as the majordomo) calls up a full-sized freighter full of enormous CO2 tanks. We hook up our hoses and roll them inside and start the pump. GM rolls a few dice and tells us it will take 3 hours for the CO2 to fill the cavernous crypt. And then it might take a few more hours for the rakghouls to actually succumb.On one hand, he was impressed that we used science to defeat the encounter that was supposed to last at least all session. On the other, he was a little miffed he didn't get to use his homebrewed Alpha Prime Rakghoul boss.He tried the rakghoul boss in a hangar bay on a ship. I just threw the party through a blast door and had them empty the atmosphere on this side while I held it off. It died even quicker this time around.Being a droid was fun. Not needing to breathe is a great trait.
>>97313909oops mean to quote >>97313898 as the first part of the story.
>>97313881what did you end up doing with so many credits? thats post game levels of cash, and makes it very hard to justify adventuring around.
Playing EotE, how do you all come up with adventures for this? I'm used to fantasy and D&D, it feels hard coming up with actual sci-fi ideas.
>>97313791JJ was a bad choice, especially given what we already knew he was capable of thanks to the Star Trek movies, but leaving him in charge of the trilogy probably still would have worked better than that weird every-movie-a-different-director approach they started with.
>>97313925Other than spending it on expensive spaceships (which ate up the money pretty quick), I largely banked it. The GM liked to collect your character sheets at the end of each campaign so he can have your characters interact with future parties. A fun idea. I came up with the idea that my character would "retire" by buying a huge luxury spaceliner and converting it to a mobile casino. And painted all gold. And he would be all gold. And his krayt skin cloak would be a long feather cloak. And the GM would haveto describe all my walking as "sashaying" (at this point I'm just being an ass to him) and while the new party is on board the ship, this music MUST be playing on loop the entire time https://youtu.be/ph3tfdXNTe4 yes, the original since the remake still wasn't out yet.
>>97313926Well, what sort of fantasy classes do you like to play? There can often be some overlap with the sci-fi classes and jobs. The EotE can get really specific, so it helps to figure out an archetype and then work from there.And don't be afraid to fluff something beyond the rules.I'm doing a current campaign with SW5e(I don't like it nearly as much as FFG) set in the Clone Wars and I'm playing the super basic Human Male Fighter per the rules, but I'm fluffing it as a Clone Trooper who shoots big guns and provides support for the rest of the party. Despite the party having three Jedi, I end up having to tell them what to do half the time, despite trying to tell them that I am a Clone and will obey any order they give me, they just don't seem interested.I keep asking the DM when Order 66 is coming.
>>97313925Invest it in paying off debts, getting better gear, upgrading the ship or getting a better ship, getting a luxury ship upgrade*, insurance, setting up a retirement fund and house, buying a house for my PC's parents, buying a small fleet of murder/cargo loading droids, buying a large herd of GONK droids and letting them roam freely on my new retirement estate's grounds (that one led to a fun adventure). The sky's the limit, and the GM is incentivised to have the player spend AS MUCH as possible.*https://swse.fandom.com/wiki/Luxury_Upgrade
>>97313973I mean I'm the DM. I don't know what to throw at my players. "Go kill womp rats in the local cantina basement" sounds lame.
>>97313952the lando dlc for star wars outlaws had a spaceliner casino that held the highest stake sabacc games around with a very ornate droid as the captain, not nearly to the scale as your droid, but its a bit funny the similarities official media would have down the road.
>>97313984"You've been hired by a local crime lord to kill an Imperial Moff who refuses to turn a blind eye to said crime lord's dealings" Now the party gets to decide what sort of morality it wants. Full murder hobo killing evil Imperials, or helping the Imperials enforce their evil lawful ways by helping them get rid of a crime lord.Or get jobs from a mysterious contact (who may or may not be a part of the Rebel Alliance) to strike and destroy Imperial infrastructure or steal money or ships from the Empire.Or stealing rare and valuable ancient artifacts from rich asshole who supports the Empire. Or from the local crime lord.Just spitballing here. You can take a lot of fantasy adventures and just replace things like "king" with "planetary governor" and still have cliche'd adventures rescuing a princess.The sky's not even the limit since there's also all that space out there to explore. Like having the party fly into an asteroid field to investigate an ancient derelict spaceship for anything valuable and/ or fighting off space pirates who want the loot for themselves or are just harassing local civilian traffic.>>97314004Heh, I might have to check that out.It does remind my of the many times we'd be in a public place and the party members would say "act subtle so you don't attract attention" and I'd have to remind them that "I am seven feet tall, four feet wide, and painted bright red. I do not do 'subtle'"
>>97314035quasi related, it's always been weird to me how droids never get to be eccentric or overly weird, hell the droid with the most personality is R2, and its just him being sassy and brash at most, or K-2S0 or HK-47 being very sarcastic. why can't we get droids who love to wear gaudy chains and furs and use blasters way over their weight tolerance and other dumb shit.
>>97313984The traditional "you're in debt to a hutt and working under it as payment" is always fun since it lets the party start off as thugs doing low level shit, then they can eventually get drawn into a larger event that can have consequences down the line (like if they join the rebellion without paying off their debt, they have to choose between doing a blatantly evil job that pays enough money to cover their debt or pissing off their boss by fucking up the job while remaining in debt, or dealing with the increased scrutiny if they find a jedi relic and report it to the Imperials).Also, how you frame a quest can really shape the enjoyment of it and how the players will react accordingly.when in doubt, use high-school level plagarism skills and just blatantly copy another plot but make it fit into the star wars setting. There's a large enough variety of planets and cultures that a good chunk of popular fiction can be easily retooled to work in the setting.
What turret is this? It's not the DF9 or the 1.4 FD
>>97313979Kek, one of my old Saga campaigns had us encounter a decked out snub-cruiser (a Republic cruiser but smaller, Colossal Space Transport size) upgunned with turbolasers, bigger shields, faster, a few other things (even a cloak) and that upgrade. It was the personal ship of some rich as fuck hereditary governor in the Corporate Sector, basically a Saudi prince except IN SPACE, so it had absolute extreme luxury.He flew around in it with his personal harem. Shit happened, and we legitimately salvaged the ship. Turned out after a few adventures that he was the wastrel useless son and his younger brother thanked us for offing him (which was an accident) because it let the younger brother inherit. So he let us keep the ship. The harem too, but we dropped most of them off and only kept a few who wanted to actually work as crew.It turned out to be a trap, because keeping a ship like that in proper luxury status costs stupid credits and we ended up in debt to the younger brother several times. Also a Hutt at one point. But we kept at it because the roleplay. Especially the wine rack.
>>97312568KK is a plant, all her "credits" are nonsense which she got through her husband's connections.Just know that at Lucasfilm, her being an "assistant manager" was just a nice way of saying she was the coffee girl who nobody took seriously.
>>97314528You can just say shit, as this anon shows.
>>97313821>Anon's droid had stats high enough to register in planetary-scale combatWhat the fuck are other FFG DMs putting in their campaigns? Final Fantasy VII bosses?
>>97313984Womp rats "aren't much bigger than two meters", and Luke shot them from a Skyhopper. They don't necessarily sound like a starter enemy to me.
>>97314106The average droid is too oppressed for that, unironically
>>97314782>>97313984>"not much bigger than two metres">contextually, two metres LONG, minus tail>probably able to stand up to waist height on a human at minimum>rats, and breed in gigantic litters>have to shoot them from what is effectively a small gunship>they look like fucking pic relatedThese are the sort of things you hunt from a long, long way away.

>>97315323I need love interest characters for my party. Your character would be fun for that.
>>97315882Go for it. She could probably stir up both feelings and trouble for your party.
>>97315323>Luke Skywalker>human>stoic-type jedi>would rather talk his way out of trouble than fight, but will unsheathe his lightsaber if need be>mind trick also works wonders>will crush you with the force while leaping over you if push comes to shove>used to be a farmer of moisture>he was gifted his fathers lightsaber while his aunt and uncle were massacred by imperials looking for droids>violently opposes the destruction of planets>needs to acquire lost knowledge to help him rebuild the Jedi order>occasionally does work for the new republic >related to Anakin Skywalker, is actually his secret son stowed away on his fathers home planet>sometimes when he's alone and R2 is out doing recon he has a big glass of milk>its yummy>afterwards he feels refreshed and promises to have another glass of milk later>he always gets another glass of milk
>>97316017I don't know about this one. Feels a little first draft.
>>97313769>Luke did I ever tell you about Count Dooku?>You see, Count Dooku was a Jedi that uncovered a Sith conspiracy to take over the Old Republic so he covertly ordered a clone army under guise of then deceased Jedi Master Syfo Dias because the evil Sith Lord Darth Sidious wanted to bring the surprise evil army back to the Republic so he could use it for evil purposes but I luckily I found the evil army first so logically I decided to bring the evil army back to the Republic myself, then immediately afterward Count Dooku saved me from being killed and told how Darth Sidious planned to use the evil army for evil and offered to help me stop the evil but I told him to eat shit because reasons, then let your Father cut of Dooku's head because I had trained him very poorly, before soullessly using your mother to find your Father so that I could cut off his arms and legs and leave him to burn to death an an abandoned lava planet and finally separating you from your twin and hiding you from your own biological family because because you Father and I had a political disagreement about the meaning of the word treason which was only made possible because I refuse to listen to anybody around me -- including my old master -- and deliberately enabled the plot of the mustache twirling villain to ever exist.>he as a good friend
>>97315323I feel like everyone at my table but me would find the spoilered part appalling.>>97316017Kek>Hervis Panusted>Human, or nearly human>Young but extraordinarily skilled wielder of the vibro-sword, uses this to be a bounty hunter and mercenary>Met an Order 66 survivor once>Let him go in exchange for Jedi training>Slightly more Force-sensitive than a glass of water, but it was enough for a few more subtle powers to stick>Adds "Jedi-trained" to his resume>This ruins his life>Empire doesn't like that>Needs to overthrow the government now>A group of people way more Force-sensitive than he is show up to his apartment, they want him to share what he learned>Works bounties to gather up credits, but no longer has guild support>is sending part of that money to his cutie childhood friend who looks a bit like pic related

>>97304062> TQ: What projects are you working on? Campaigns,Honestly? Copying the various optional rules, submechanics, prevalent vehicle profiles, and common/ubiquitous NPC profiles for the FFG Star Wars system onto my phone’s notes folder to allow me to more quickly pull up specific (and usually niche, if It’s something I don’t know off the top of my head) rule(s) than remember which book it’s in, turning to the page, and reading it over.Mostly because > 1) FFG/Edge’s Genesys system is my favorite and is the one I’m most comfortable ad libbing. > 2) Star Wars is a fantastical space opera setting with decades of lore (and a setting so huge that there’s always room for homebrew content). And is such a cultural touchstone that it’s unlikely to have a player that needs an explanation of what the setting is, how it works, and what it’s about. “It’s Star Wars!” Is all players need to know.And ultimately because maybe one day I’ll be able to run an FFG Star Wars campaign once again and if I do, I would absolutely want to make it be a full open-galaxy sandbox style campaign where I can just go “Alright, here’s your PC’s starting funds, here’s the party’s ship, and here’s the planet your PC is currently standing on, go nuts” and be ready to roll with whatever the players choose to do to make it as interesting and exciting as my imagination will allow. No pretense of some “main plot” laid down by the GM they HAVE to follow, derail, or ignore.
>>97317363I'm doing a campaign like that using Edge of the Empire. PCs started on a backwater jungle moon in the outer rim. However with any sandbox game they need an immediate goal to organize around. From there drop hooks for interesting things going on that they can grab onto.The obligation system from Edge plays well into a sandbox style game. It makes it so that no matter the situation it can be tied to a PC motivation. It's a rare situation where zero PCs care about the current course of action
>>97316888checked, thanks Obi-wan
I wish there were more Imperial focused fan books and stuff to base a campaign around. I'm not really into being smugglers and outer rim criminals, I'm into either being a Rebel or an Imperial

>>97315323Okay… keep in mind that I’m t e GM, so this character was actually the last antagonist the party faced:> goes by the holonet alias “Griefer”> Hutt> terminally online incel> obnoxious troll that even other Hutts can’t stand to be around> no job, no criminal network, he subsists entirely off a trust fund his family set up to keep him away.> he’s petty> he’s immature > clearly learned all his social skills from just… the most vile corners of the holonet> no capacity for self reflection > or self awareness > terrible hygiene, even for a Hutt (and that’s admittedly already a low bar)> all his servants and henchmen are droids because they are the only things that he can get to be loyal to him (only because he can just program them to be mindlessly obedient)> pretty much focused in on the PCs because after one disastrous encounter, he thinks the PCs stole his girlfriend (she wasn’t his girlfriend)> and basically blames the PCs for why he can’t find companionship (they weren’t, but again, Griefer isn’t capable of self reflection, so he won’t even consider the possibility that he’s the problem)I actually came up with a novel way to keep this character on the Players minds when they were doing other things by tying his shenanigans into the obligation system, basically set it up where each PCs obligation scale was split in half. Half a PCs obligation would still be their normal Obligation issues, but the other half would be Griefer. so that way, when obligation triggered there’d be 50/50 chance that it’d either be the typical obligation drama, or the PCs discover that Griefer has (remotely from his secret hideout) done some bullshit meant explicitly to rage-bait that specific PC. I actually thought it was a fun way to keep the new BBEG relevant without outright railroading the players. They were still free to do their side-quests, but sooner or later, the party was going to get sick of his nonsense.
>>97316017>spoilersWay too cute, and actually pretty in-character for a Twi'lek.
>>97317851>”what? No spoiler about some weirly wholesome but embarrassing secret”No, not really, when I sat down to make this character, I did so with the goal of trying to make a character that is as unambiguously hateable as I could while still keeping the character believable.
>>97315323I mentioned him earlier here >>97313973Made him one of the first batches of Clones, so he'd have extensive combat experience. Was part of an elite squad that raided several key Separatist leaders homes and ships, including a (botched) raid on Grievous' capital ship. Because he's an older clone, the indoctrination isn't as good as it would later be and he suffers from instability, having an episode that got him kicked out of his squad and would have just languished in the shittiest of shit jobs if the Jedi making up the party hadn't wrangled him along for their mission. It involves tailing Grievous, so the figured a clone with experience having fought Grievous and survived would be a good candidate. Only I drink constantly and smoke way too many death sticks to cope with the crippling PTSD.Still, as a heavy weapons operative, he stays at ranged to provide fire support. And carries a few dozen grenades because I can throw one as a bonus action.The campaign has been a rough retelling of KOTOR1 but during the Clone Wars. The party is on Taris, with Separatists blockading the planet instead of Sith, and heard there were rakghouls haunting the lower levels. We went to investigate and found they weren't ghouls, just spice mine slaves who got addicted to the airborne particulates and eventually all their minds snapped. So the slavers just dumped them in the slums to go feral and grabbed more hapless civilians to press into their mining gang. We freed all the non-psychotic slaves and detonated the slavers.Got dragged into an underground series of arena battles, eventually fighting a mandalorian boss character. I claimed his helmet because my character is the only one who has mando blood. Cloned mando blood but still valid. Battled through literally hundreds of B1s in a Separatist base before beheading a command droid (needed his codes to get through the blockade) and hijacking a tank to shoot a up couple dozen vulture droids.
>“Luke, many years after I die you will have to deal with the machinations of a warlord named Trioculus. Now, Trioculus is a warlord of the Empire, but not one of the competent ones. No, no. He is the sort of villain who announces himself with phrases like ‘Dark Greetings!’ as though he’s trying out catchphrases for a children’s holodrama. He will claim to be the son of Emperor Palpatine, and many will believe him, because he has three eyes and that seems convincing enough for most Moffs. But Luke… you must remember this. It is vital. He is not Triclops. Triclops is a different three‑eyed son of Palpatine. The galaxy is large, and the Emperor was… busy. Trioculus will seek the Glove of Darth Vader, a relic of unimaginable power, or at least of considerable marketing potential. He will build superweapons. He will command Stormtroopers. He will kidnap children. And yet, Luke… he will be thwarted. Repeatedly. By those very children. He is not a great threat. He is more of a… persistent inconvenience. A sort of cosmic reminder that evil is not always grand or terrifying. Sometimes it is merely embarrassing. But take heed, Luke. Should you ever hear someone greet you with ‘Dark Greetings!’… do not be alarmed. It is only Trioculus. He means well. Or at least, he means something. And in his own way… he is a good friend.”
