OCC Chit Chat and More

Here is where general chit chat and such will take place

I`m here and deciding on what to play.

Same.. I will work on my character this weekend.

So the blurb from the game's page describes us as "ultimately a force for good".

As a guide towards what kind of characters are suitable for this, it's a bit vague. Is there anything planned for what kind of party we'll be, who or what we'll be working for, what sort of stuff we'll be getting up to?
Do we already know each other?

Also, are we forever restriced to the core books, or just for character creation?

My thoughts are leaning towards a sort of rogue-like character. Skulduggery, Stealth, that sort of thing. I can possibly work piloting into things unless someone has a specific pilot idea they're wanting to go with.

My first idea is a kind of happy-go-lucky roguish Consular with problems with authority, who is just fine with blasters when violence is unaviodable, and not even a little bit interested in being some kind of Jedi.

Okay its the Star Wars universe -- what is available to play is pretty wide spread and I did not want to restrict the players -- my plan is to figure out what to do with you all once I have an understanding of what you all want to be playing and what you all say you would like to be doing adventure wise. If given no information on this I will pull something out of my a... air and go from there. However it will behoove you all to think about the kind of game you would like to play in and give me a sort of wish list of those things.

I generally run a semi-sandbox style game -- which means we will start with a seed adventure and then go from there... hopefully during that seed adventure you will stumble across other things your group would like to pursue.

As for source material -- if there is something you are thinking about from something beyond the books just let me know and we will see. I would like to restrict it to FFG material though as that is the intent of this game.

For my part i will be playing a Force user who was with the rebellion before events (the Force) made me discover a mentor to hone her potential.

Can go with the group being rogue-ish. Has long its not agaisnt the rebellion/new republic. BUT if im theonly one being of this mindset i can and will change it to fit the group.

I think your character will be fine -- Han was roguish -- there was a Padawan that was rather roguish -- being roguish is not being evil its called surviving and if the roguishness is directed at the Empire or its remnants even better -- aka Robinhood was roguish

I was just pointing that im fine with if we dont mess against the rebellion. But im fine with a roguish party.

Note to All -- I have updated the Character Creation Parameters -- as the Force and Destiny book actually covers this and I was not too far form the mark -- so everyone is basically making what the game calls a Knight-Level character -- thus you get 150 XP and either 1 Lightsaber (if you are a Jedi) --or-- 9,000 Credits worth of gear --or-- 1 Contribution Rank/Reward

Also note due to the fact that I am blending all 3 into 1 game Step 2 has expanded as it now includes Duty, Obligation, and Morality and these will have a blended and individualized affect on the game as well. This is to say depending on the particular adventure the group may be affected by one of these but in every case each Individual will be affected by there own. So please be sure you are aware of all 3. If you need help with any of them (because you do not have the materials) let me know -- sooner than later.

Further to make it simply I have used a version of the Force and Destiny Step 2 that simply starts each of these at a set value and lets you choose XP, Credits, or adjustments to one of these 3 aspects.

So to help the others know i will be going consular healer/niman disciple.

Okay I thought about it for a while and since I am going to be using all 3 -- Duty, Obligation, and Morality -- I augmented the choices accordingly -- so please review the Character Generation choices as instead of being able to choose 2 or 1 -- you now can choose 4 or 2 but no duplicates

Next my job as the Storyteller is to balance the characters so when you are asking if something is allowable that is part of an FFG publication -- just ask yourself this question is this going to make me a lot more powerful than the rest of the players --- as I can tweak the NPCs all day to make them on par or put you down so that is never an issue for me --- what becomes an issue is if in order to challenge Player A -- I have to nearly kill all the rest of the players that is a balance issue and makes the game less fun for all

Lastly to make things easier for me please in your Character Creation threads -- denote where you are pulling the specific item from -- For instances Species -- where are you pulling it from. I have quite a bit of the source material so chances are I might have it if not I might be able find a reference to it somewhere (libraries can be nice)

Also when creating your characters please -- if you can -- denote what you took during character creation -- and then what you took in post character creation so that I can see where the Character Creation and Post-Character Creation XP was spent and such

Basically the more detail you give me the faster I can approve your character along with all the other ones -- please make your GMs job easy ;)

I have posted the book for the specie and also a link for the infos.

I'm going to be gone for most of the day for a real life RPG, and I expect to be back too late in the evening to get much done on this today.

Sorry, but I'm out.

I don't usually don't like pure Force & Desitiny games, and I really don't like starting at knight level, and this has turned out to be both.
I would never never have applied to join the game I had known this going in.

I can not say I knew that things would trend in the direction of mostly Force & Destiny -- but that is cool this game was mainly created on Shadowgab99 behalf (aka at their request) so I have deferred in that direction

Okay I have 2 characters almost finished -- when I am fully satisfied with those 2 -- since they are so close to being done I will start them off -- and then bring the other players in as they get their character's completed and the story allows it -- unless others turn in completed character outlines and sheets before I get things started

okay as soon as I get clarification on those from Shadowgab99 and Cavalier I will get the action started and then as the others get things in order and the story permits I will bring them in
