Any and all Out of Character Questions can go here.

Hello there! Glad to be around! Looking forward for the game!

Greetings. as Vexander said, looking forward to playing. I've done a bit of GMing with the system, but very little actual playing. I'm the most Star Wars inclined of my gaming groups, so I'm usually the one dragging people into playing in this 'verse.

I don't know what all Arina is thinking with regards to character creations, but what are people thinking for characters? I'm not sure how much collaboration people want to do, but thought it might be a good idea to start talking about things. With 9 players there's gonna be some overlap, for sure...

Possibly some overlap. Perhaps not. It doesn't worry me too much. I assure you, the large number of players won't effect your experience negatively. I have plans. It should be fun.

This game filled up faster than expected. Anyway, we should probably move this discussion over to the character creation thread but for your backstories, they have to be semi co-operatively constructed as you have all been living together for the past 12 years. You all know each other quite well.

Well, hey y'all! Just wanted to say hi to everyone involved.

Regarding your dice interpretation house rule, does that mean you will be providing the combat statistics for enemies and we can update as we go?

Probably not. Why would you need the combat stats of the PCs. You can describe your attacks and hits and I will let you know if a creature falls. The same is true for slicing etc. Describe the success, failure, advantage gained etc.

I was just thinking it’s a way to streamline things for a pbp format. If i know the defense and wounds of an enemy, I can be proactive with rolls and give a more descriptive narration of my roll.

I've seen this handled in the past by the Player, unless they've heard something different in advance, just rolls an Average Difficulty. From there the GM can add additional dice, as needed.

My guy's name is Piodas Leone btw... I didn't select Force Power yet but the general sheet has been submitted Arina.

I'll work on the background quite soon.

I actually have a question that hopefully Arina (or maybe one of the more experienced Play-by-post folks can help with. I've done other games PbP, but never Star Wars. How does one handle "once per session" abilities?

I will let you know when they reset. Basically, once the adventure arc is concluded.

Y'all, how are we going to handle the Character Relationships thread? Are we supposed to write a single lonely story with another character? Because that may leave a few people out... Otherwise, should we write one for every character? (i.e 8 stories)Or maybe one for each connection in total? (Meaning, if I tell a story about Carabas's character and mine, then he wouldn't be able to do it likewise, and we'd have one for every possible connection).

That sounds like a lot of stories . . . Hm, I have an idea. How about each of us nominate two of the others to construct a story about their characters. You can't nominate your own, only pick two of the others. And then those two work things out between them.

Like, me nominating, for example, you and Vex and then you both would cook a story between your characters? If everyone's ok with it, sure. That sounds fun! Still, we should impose a limit per person. What about... No one should be nominated more than twice, and no one can be nominated twice until everyone has been nominated at least once? Is everyone ok with it?

That seems like a good idea! Just nominate my name wherever you like and I'll try to come up with something for sure.

Yeah, I think that sounds fun. I'm down for it. Should we use this thread for nominating folks, ya figure?

I think so. I refuse to be nominated first because it was my idea so instead I nominate whoever posts in this thread next.
