OOC - Ongoing Game Questions

Jan 6, 2021 3:58 am
OOC:
Whenever you read something and go "Wait, what did you say?" Or just, is this an Average or Hard Check ? This is the place to do the 'table talk' so we can keep the Roleplay clean. Also, if you have questions about how to select or roll the dice, let 'em fly here.
Jan 6, 2021 6:34 am
Question on dice rolls and your GM style. If we know what we want our character to do, should we roll the dice, (we would be guessing the dificulty) or wait for you to confirm the skill and difficulty?
Jan 6, 2021 12:16 pm
If you're pretty sure of the difficulty and skill needed, go ahead and build the dice pool. If you're not sure, PM or ask a side question. Either way, I can always roll an extra die or subtract one of the ones from the result. Or, if it's a critical situation, I'll just ask for a re-roll with an updated dice pool.

Do you want more streetwise or knowledge check for what information (or misinformation) we have about the job?
Jan 8, 2021 5:34 am
For the team,

Anybody has some gunnery/agi for the ship's turret?
Jan 8, 2021 6:01 am
Ken has Agility 4 but no skill in Gunnery so he could have a go.

The images aren't embedding correctly with the google drive sharing link. I was able to copy/paste the link and view the images though.
Jan 8, 2021 11:04 pm
is making sure the engine is ship-shape mechanics or perception?
Jan 9, 2021 1:11 am
Any difficulty for perception and/or skullduggery checks for tracking device and smuggling compartment?
Jan 9, 2021 9:38 pm
Checking the ship over would be Mechanics - average.

Searching for Tracking devices or finding the smuggling compartment would be Hard Checks, also for the Smuggling compartment add a Setback die - Someone did a good job with them.

If anyone has advice on getting the Links for the pictures to work better, I'd love some help with it.

I think you need to use google images, not google drive?
Jan 9, 2021 10:35 pm
Added the rolls to my last post
Jan 10, 2021 12:43 am
In my game, I upload to flickr then just copy the image address and paste into the image field.
Jan 10, 2021 4:03 pm
Thanks for the image information. I asked out on the site forums and was given a Guide. I've got a Dropbox, and those instructions worked like a charm. :)
Jan 12, 2021 5:07 am
Do we want to role play the introductions or just 'yadda yadda yadda' it?
Jan 12, 2021 5:59 am
Honestly I wasn't sure so I just started the roleplay. Ok with yards yadda yadda
Jan 12, 2021 12:39 pm
I like the idea of roleplaying the presentation but I don't want to slow down the start.

Why not open an extra thread for the crew interaction?
Jan 12, 2021 4:30 pm
@Crew - The games for you guys, if you all enjoy role-playing the introduction, then I'm great with it. My personal favorite game session was when we took a week's vacation on a resort planet after some harrowing escape from the Empire. The only time the dice came out were when we played Stump the Bartender, the GM kept rolling Knowledge Bartending to make the drinks we requested.

At the same time, if the majority want to fire up an RP thread outside of the main story thread, we can do it as well.
Jan 12, 2021 6:06 pm
so far it seems like everyone is posting in a timely manner, let's just do introductions in character, in the main thread
Jan 12, 2021 6:09 pm
I thought it'd be quicker to just do introductions than talk about it.
Jan 12, 2021 11:33 pm
I am trying to get a grasp on who might be good for different functions on the ship right now:

Seems like Ad-hoc will be the best for the Intelligence (Astrogation/Mechanics/Computers) unless anyone else based on intros might be good at that
Jan 12, 2021 11:50 pm
yup, he's all/only brains :)
Jan 12, 2021 11:59 pm
Ken's got good Agility (4) but no skills in Piloting or Gunnery so he'll go wherever he's needed. He's not bad on Charm (3/1) and Deception (3/1) if we need anyone to bluff over the coms.
Jan 13, 2021 12:05 am
Blih is pretty much all cunning for now (5). Not much he can do in a ship battle, or in an actual battle for that matter :P
Jan 13, 2021 12:09 am
Hah, looks like Blih is doing any lying that needs to be done.
Jan 13, 2021 12:10 am
Good to know,

Pergano is basically just a pilot. 4 Agility 2 space 1 planetary piloting. With 1 rank in Range light for good measure in a basic battle.

Nothing in Gunnery but 4 Agility is pretty competent even without skills.

edit: also sorry if it seems I am taking over, my guess is it is hard for us to take off if the ship doesn't....take off :)

Jeswain is 3 Agility, 1 space and 4 in cunning. So I can lie about where we're going I guess.

Jan 13, 2021 12:25 am
So we're heavy on the Agility and Cunning so far. Ad-hoc has the Intellect. Ken's got a bit of Presence (but not many skills) and his Willpower is awful, anyone got any Brawn?
Jan 13, 2021 12:34 am
my brawn is terrible at a 1.
Jan 13, 2021 1:09 am
2 in Brawn for Jeswain
Jan 13, 2021 1:32 am
3 brawn for the droid. So he can lift heavy stuff. You should be able to see my character sheet here:

Jan 13, 2021 10:10 pm
I wonder if I can post my character sheet: Ken
Jan 13, 2021 10:13 pm
Oddtrails - you missed off the difficulty! Two purple for regular difficulty (not sure what the difficulty would be for that).

Jan 13, 2021 10:15 pm
Thanks! Added it. I had no idea on difficulty. I went with 4-daunting because I would assume if it's anything nefarious they would want to cover their tracks pretty well.
Jan 13, 2021 10:31 pm
OOC:
Does Jeswain share his questionning?
Jan 13, 2021 10:50 pm
Absolutely he would, thanks for the prompt.
Jan 13, 2021 11:32 pm
You can add all the dice to one roll, and it will calculate the net results for you. (Although if I remember correclt triumphs and despairs are a little wonky)
Last edited January 13, 2021 11:33 pm

Rolls

test roll

2 Success, 1 Failure, 2 Threat

Total: 1 Success, 2 Threat

Yeah, I just got crossed up because the book said GM usually sets difficulty. Forgot he said to make our best guess and he'd adjust as necessary.

I can confirm that triumph are not included automatically in the success and advantage count.
Jan 16, 2021 3:52 am
So we each have +500 credits now?
Jan 19, 2021 1:01 pm
Yes. +500 credits :D

Feb 4, 2021 5:40 pm
Should we be thinking of Initiative checks right now?

I figure we might be going into some structured encounter and wasn't sure how to proceed here :)
Feb 4, 2021 6:01 pm
I was going to let everyone declare their first action, describe what happens as you close in and then call for Initiative. No worries. :D
Feb 4, 2021 7:16 pm
Cool, just let us know if we ever do anything that angers the GM. We want to stay on your good side! :D
Feb 5, 2021 3:58 pm
@crazybirdman - I think we're going to be good here. Seems like a pretty chill group and I'm just here to have fun and hopefully tell a good story.
Feb 9, 2021 8:21 pm
I believe Ken gets an upgrade to his abilities when firing due to my "stay on target" maneuver?

Also does continuing to "gain the advantage" actions just make it harder and harder for them to cancel out my advantages?
Feb 9, 2021 9:51 pm
Ad-hoc won't do anything this round, unless a fire breaks out or something.
Feb 10, 2021 2:11 pm
For 'gain the advantage', You have it for the round it succeeds and the next one, unless the other ship performs 'gain the advantage' at one difficulty higher. If they get advantage, it cancels yours for that round and they have advantage until the end of the next round, unless you take it back, at another difficulty higher. In practice, after a couple back and forth, both ships end up doing an 'Evasive maneuvers' to break off the sequence and then re-engage.
Feb 12, 2021 9:18 pm
I am assuming there is a coupling procedure that will require a piloting check?
Feb 13, 2021 1:57 am
If there's one thing I learned from watching Rebels, it's all ships seem to have a way to dock in space.
Feb 14, 2021 12:05 am
Yeah, Docking in space is one of the 'hand waves' that Star Wars does, since the science and the fact really just slow down the story :)
Feb 15, 2021 5:33 pm
valdattaMadun sent a note to Esidrix
Feb 15, 2021 5:43 pm
Small universe :D

Yep, grabbed it off the shelf, figured it was a good place to start and let the players get a handle on the story and their longer term plans for the characters. I may shuffle a few things and there's some built in options for switching it up. Besides, if you 'cheat', most likely it'll bother you more than me. Thank you for the heads up and let's have some fun Star Wars :)
Feb 15, 2021 9:23 pm
My campaign has gone very by the book (my first GM attempt, players first time playing at all) so I am sure with the creative minds here it will be very different
Feb 17, 2021 2:09 pm
If your curious:

https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/The_Wheel/Legends
Feb 18, 2021 4:21 pm
Assuming we go on a shopping spree when we get to the wheel, do you want to deal with that in a separate thread or the main one?
Feb 19, 2021 3:33 pm
Different thread, If you guys say "we want a shopping trip" - then we can post everyone's wish list over here and resolve the details. Then we'll "Now that everyone has finished shopping..." in the story thread.
Feb 22, 2021 6:24 pm
I am ready when others are
Feb 22, 2021 6:59 pm
FYI: I check the board often, so if you don't see a post from me it just means I have nothing to add, and you can move on.
Feb 26, 2021 4:00 pm
BTW - Everyone take 5 xp for finishing the first Chapter.
Feb 26, 2021 5:17 pm
I take it, XP expenditure you would like beginning of chapters? or at our leisure if we have it? I have seen it done differently on here
Feb 27, 2021 6:55 pm
at you leisure. You can say spent in on the couple day trip out here or on the 3 days it'll take to get to the crashed ship. :) or now.
Feb 27, 2021 7:19 pm
Don't have enough XP to buy the talent I want yet. Credits on the other hand... should we discuss what to spend the advance on? Food and medical supplies in case there are survivors?
I do wanna buy one or two things for my Droid..
Feb 27, 2021 7:25 pm
Sure, This is probably as good a place as any to do some shopping. Below is a little blurb about the main shops:

Sonou’s Apparel carries a complete line of starship- ready clothing for many common species. Jumpsuits, environment-specific wear, and even spacesuits are available, as well as a limited supply of formal wear. The clothes are surprisingly and suspiciously cheap, running at about two-thirds of the common market value (as shown on the Edce of the Empire Core Rule- book’s Gear and Equipment table on pages 182-3).

The Dented Droid is one of a chain of droid repair stores found in major space stations, starports, and cities around the galaxy. It is small, grimy, and filled with semi-functioning droids in addition to an impressive array of random parts scattered on shelves and in half-open boxes. The entire place seems filled with beeps, whirs, and the hum of ratcheting gears.

Farlander’s Outfitting and Supply is part-showroom and part-pawn shop. The store carries new and used gear ranging from shipboard tools to survival gear to maintenance equipment. Farlander’s also carries a limited selection of non-military-grade weapons, such as average blaster pistols and hunting rifles. If it’s not in the store, Nols and his inventory droid, CZ-332, can probably dig up something comparable from elsewhere on the station. Nols also buys used gear, as long as it is in working condition.

Also known as Hal’s, the parts store is a one-stop shop for picking up common parts for ships, vehicles, and related equipment. Basic items can be found in the store, while other parts can be ordered from warehouses elsewhere on the station.

TASIA'S TAPCAFE
Tasia’s is a quaint restaurant catering to travelers tired of shipboard meals. Alderaanian dishes are its specialty. With the Death Star’s recent destruction of Alderaan, Tasia’s Tapcafe has become a rallying point for refugees and anti-imperial sentiment.
Feb 27, 2021 8:36 pm
I want a multi goo gun and need slicing gear, so I guess the pawn shop is my best bet. I don't want to just walk off if the group has something else we want/need to do though.
Feb 27, 2021 9:19 pm
That seems to be the place we could get gear for the job as well. I would be okay as a group going there
Feb 27, 2021 11:45 pm
So what equipment do we need for the mission? Medpacs, stimpacks, what else?
Feb 27, 2021 11:56 pm
Maybe some food, or bacta in case there is survivors? A space suit may not be a bad idea, I don't think there is one on the ship. My character should be able to salvage anything we need with the tools he has.
Feb 28, 2021 1:16 am
Blih would buy some forgery tools with his money if he has the time left after gathering info and/or spreading rumors for the mission.
Feb 28, 2021 8:57 pm
So is anyone interested in writing up a list or do we just want to hand wave "Survival/Rescue gear" ?
Feb 28, 2021 9:38 pm
Yeah, I think for simplicity we can say we want to use the advance on a couple of survival kits, and maybe two spacesuits?
Feb 28, 2021 10:13 pm
I think the ship, and the survival kits have med packs, but another one won't hurt. Its our employers money anyway :D
Feb 28, 2021 10:59 pm
I'm very much one for handwaving equipment, particularly around boring stuff like survival gear, ropes, rations and so on. But I'd like to upgrade Ken's armour/weapons with his own credits, and I wonder whether we ought to have a comm jammer on the ship.
Feb 28, 2021 11:18 pm
The tech I want isn't very rare. I'm not sure what the others want/need. Should we let the smoothest talker negotiate for the group/mission items and the personal items? I was thinking of offering to fix stuff at the pawn shop (if we have time) to try and help get a better price.
Mar 1, 2021 2:02 pm
So, we'll assume roughly 5G of Survival Gear is being purchased and sent to the ship. Any item that is Rarity 5 or less, go ahead and purchase, we'll assume most stuff is list price, since the managers are mostly too busy to haggle. Anything Rarity 6 or higher, that'll need some kind of roll. It's most likely available, but might get pricey, depending.

There's roughly 8 hours until IT-3PO is supposed to arrive on the station and come to your ship. So let me know the specifics of your personal gear purchases.
Mar 1, 2021 2:15 pm
@Mephistophilis - A com jammer would be around 3,000, which you could buy in whole or part with your 'equipment advance'. AD-hoc would have to work on installing it after you got going, since the time line wouldn't permit the installation before you leave.
Mar 1, 2021 5:11 pm
if there's time (and it's worth the trouble) can I spread some digital rumors? Leave some info to send hunters in the wrong direction, or just mask where we are actually going?
Mar 1, 2021 5:23 pm
Do we think a comm jammer is worth it? Would you install if Ad-hoc?
Mar 1, 2021 5:35 pm
sure I can install it, not sure if it's the type of thing we could install on route or if it needs to be done before we leave. Not sure if it's worth it. What the difference between buying one, and using the ships computers to jam comms?
Mar 1, 2021 6:13 pm
Hey all, I've had a major system failure at work that requires all (my) hands on deck for the next few days. I'll peek in when I can, but I may not be able to update for lack of time or mental resources for the next few days.

You could coordinate with Blih. We set up traces of a fake mission to bring gears to a isolated colony in the outer rim. Blih can use that cover to ask about that sector.

At the same time he will spread rumor that he heard the pod message and place the last location of the treasure ship to an adjacent sector

ugh, good luck man. Sounds like the time we had to deal with one of our engineers using a shady USB flashdrive.

That's a great idea!
Mar 1, 2021 9:36 pm
@Crazybirdman - The Comms Jammer or [Electronic Countermeasures Suite] is dedicated hardware that is an upgrade to the ships systems. Kind of the difference between an off the shelf Laptop and your Slicing deck. :)

'Designed to blind and deafen enemy ships, electronic countermeasures suites such as Fabritech 995 ECM system transmits a dense stream of white noise and junk data that fogs sensors and jams comms traffic within close range of the broadcasting ship.'

I don't have an opinion on if you need one, just providing data since it's come up.

@oddtrails - Yuk, and Sorry.
Mar 1, 2021 10:18 pm
riiigggght, 'No Opinion' :D


Well, I guess my only concerns are 1) Can we target enemy ships with it, and still talk to to allies? [just thinking of our last/only space encounter] 2) Why would we put it on a ship we don't own?
Mar 1, 2021 10:53 pm
Well maybe, given the cost, we'll leave the jammer. Ken is looking for super high status stuff like padded armour and a holdout blaster so maybe that's out of his league right now!
Mar 2, 2021 12:38 am
Btw, Blih will use his disguise kit also to change his appearance to a gruff middle aged human before going to ask and plant the infos.
Mar 2, 2021 3:31 pm
@Esidrix What would the computers difficulty be to spread false information digitally? After that my character will be ready to leave the wheel.
Mar 3, 2021 3:59 pm
@CrazyBirdman - If your coordinating stories with Blih, let's do an Average (PP) roll to plant some misleading info and to preform some searches for places you want people to think your going.
Mar 3, 2021 4:25 pm
Ok, things have settled down for me. I'll make a post explaining what Jeswain has been up to soon.
Mar 3, 2021 5:36 pm
Glad that didn't run longer, for your sake. :D

After Oddtrails catches his breath and makes his post, I'll move us along :)
Mar 3, 2021 5:53 pm
So, I somehow lost count of credits we've received. Is this right?

500 from taking first job
250 from MacRogers (Did he short us? It looks like we were promised 500)
200 from Dancy
___
950 Total

I read 5k for this current job as dedicated for upgrades, but I'm happy to take a split if that's how we're doing it.
Last edited March 3, 2021 5:56 pm
Mar 3, 2021 7:14 pm
There maybe some confusion because MacRogers says he normally pays half not half late? I thought it was 500 from the first job, and 200 from Dancy (plus whatever you have left from character creation and starting 'pocket change' roll)

Oops, you're right. We got 1/2 the 500 up front and the other 1/2 was given by MacRogers. Thanks

So total of 700 from the game stuff.
Mar 5, 2021 11:19 pm
Mephistophilis says:
Crazybirdman, sure, but wouldn't you rather save it for your own items, doesn't it have a limited number of uses?
Esidrix says:
he's right, it's 1 hardpoint per rank in Tinkerer.
True, but I can't imagine what else I would use it on at this point. None of my gear has any attachments available (slicer gear, tool kit), except the goo gun. And the goo gun has one hard point, and only one available attachment. I don't plan on having my character carry any weapons until something happens in story to convince him that's a good idea. And even then I can always get another rank in Tinkerer. So may as well have someone else benefit from it! :)
Mar 5, 2021 11:21 pm
Let's say you keep it and if we come up with a reason for one of us others to need it then you can add the hardpoint as and when?
Mar 5, 2021 11:59 pm
That is very practical!
Mar 12, 2021 2:58 pm
Can AD-hoc lift the droid by himself? Also, is this the droid we were waiting for?
Mar 13, 2021 10:26 pm
@ AD-hoc - Just barely, you can move at half speed while carrying it. Yes, this is the droid you were waiting for.
Mar 14, 2021 5:11 am
Hey all, This is week is Spring Break for the kid. We are heading off for some Vacation. I'll have my chromebook and will try and get some posts in. But it's all about the family, unless their sleeping ;)
Mar 14, 2021 6:18 am
Nice! Enjoy it. I. Assuming no one got much of a spring break last year :(
Mar 15, 2021 3:28 am
sorry guys, went on a trip with the family and forgot to post I would be gone through midweek to now. Will follow up tomorrow morning
Mar 23, 2021 5:01 pm
Do I have time to make the ship look damaged? I'm trying to think of some techno babble that would have them clear our departure. But I don't know if it would take too long. I suppose I could just hit something with a hammer to actually break it, then fix it later, but that's not ideal.
Mar 24, 2021 12:32 pm
@Crazybirdman - Not really. We're going to be in space in 30 seconds. But don't stop tossing out ideas. :D
Mar 24, 2021 4:01 pm
Spent some XP, 5xp on Full Throttle and 10XP on Skilled Jockey
Mar 25, 2021 10:57 pm
Ken spends 10XP on the highly exciting purchase of 1 rank in Discipline to try and counteract his appalling Willpower.
Apr 7, 2021 3:15 am
Hey guys, I'm not going to be able to continue this game. I appreciate your patience with a noob and helping me learn a new system. The game is fantastic, I just have to adjust some priorities.

Right-O. Hate to lose you, but the game should be pretty far down on the list of "important stuff". :) If life lets up, swing back around.

Sorry to see you go Oddtrails.

@valdattaMadun - Woot! Congratulations sir.
Apr 9, 2021 6:20 pm
I just want to share a fun thing about SW FFG real quick, I have my IRL game going tonight which I am the GM. First game I have ever GM'd.

I have a player who is a "Chevin" which has a racial trait of getting a boost die for perception checks based on smell. Tonight, I have finally found a situation where I can have this help the guy out. I am fairly proud as when he picked that species I had zero clue how I would work it in.

Sorry just a fun tangent
Apr 9, 2021 6:54 pm
That's awesome! Little stuff like that makes the players soooo happy.
Apr 13, 2021 7:53 pm
Greetings all!

I guess introductions are in order, now that I'm part of this group. I hope this is the correct place? :) I am from Iceland, and this is the first SW game I play in, so please be gentle! ;) I have played a few PBF games on BGG and TavernKeeper, so I have some idea about how it goes to play by forums. Took a look at the Core Rulebook to get some feel for the game and am looking forward to playing with this group. Just started to browse the IC threads, so hopefully I can get up to speed ASAP.

My character is Foess Awathne, a human colonist / doctor.

Cheers,
Gudjon

We had a couple folks from the initial start of the game that I offered a 'first shot' at joining in. All were still not at a place to add another game. Xelforp had reached out and we'll fold him in at the first opportunity.
Apr 21, 2021 12:30 pm
I'm following the happenings closely and enjoying the feel of this game!

Not that it matters as of yet, but I'll be away from home until Sunday - I'll continue to follow along. :)
May 7, 2021 2:53 am
Have we successfully evaded/outrun the nexu? or are we still in this encounter?
May 7, 2021 11:22 am
Your at the door way to the room, it's a little tangled in debris in the middle of the room - Round 2, You guys are up.
May 13, 2021 5:07 pm
can I roll cool to try and get rid of some strain? Even though my character is not very cool :)
Last edited May 13, 2021 5:09 pm

Yes - At the end of an encounter, each player can make a Simple (-) Discipline or Cool check Each Success recovers one strain. Furthermore, a good night’s rest generally removes all strain a character has suffered.
May 13, 2021 7:35 pm
Thanks, I'll roll the check, since I don't think my character will technically be resting

on a planetary scale vs personal scale note,

isn't one Planetary scale damage equal to 10 or 20 Personal scale damage? You just suffer from set backs from trying to hit things that are tiny compared to the ship?

Not saying I want it to happen...but I wouldn't mind Ken vaporizing something
May 14, 2021 2:57 am
@valdattaMadun - It's the Silhouette comparison. The bigger the difference between firing ship and target silhouette determines the Difficulty. Your ship is Silhouette 4 while a person would be Silhouette 1. So that would be a diff of 3 and a Daunting (4P) shot.
May 19, 2021 11:10 am
To All: Guys, I feel like I've missed something. You were hired to find and rescue a guy - What are your other concerns?
May 19, 2021 11:21 am
I thought we were hired to bring back the secret tech. I was just wanting to check what these people were doing to get an idea of what the secret tech might be - rather hoping it wasn't a cargo of killer cybernetic nexu ending up with a situation like Han Solo in The Force Awakens having them rampage round the ship. Also hoping they won't kill us with their secret tech and steal our ship so trying to get an idea of their ideology/personality.

We seem to be a bit on the paranoid side :P

But there was this feeling I got that if the captain was alive, he may not want to be rescued and that this was the reason we needed to bring the droid: so that he would probably trust us.

Our team is also not built for combat at all, so any measure to avoid one make sense.

I am ready to continue though :)
May 19, 2021 11:58 am
Because aren't there others also after the ship? So we need to get them to trust us that we're not up to no good.
May 19, 2021 2:04 pm
I feel like this is one of those moments that goes one of two ways, go in there without a care or hyper paranoia.

I am all for keeping the guard up in all situations but sometimes (especially in PbP) it does get to the extreme
May 19, 2021 2:10 pm
yeah, that's a good point, let's go (it nothing else to keep things moving briskly) it's pretty hard to die in this game anyway
May 19, 2021 2:18 pm
We can always narratively decide that our characters ask questions but skip the RP to keep thing moving ;)
May 19, 2021 3:13 pm
Yeah, I have no problem with that, I was more looking for background information for flavour, we're going to go out and meet these guys anyway.
May 25, 2021 9:11 pm
I didn't miss anything right, our only job was to get the 'special tech' and survivors right? Roem didn't give us an offer to extend to the captain?
May 25, 2021 9:16 pm
I'll have to reread the beginning, but I think there was mention of sending another ship to rescue any survivors we found
May 25, 2021 9:20 pm
well, if this dude has been killing people, I'm more interested in our safety right now
May 25, 2021 9:43 pm
We just have to convince him that Reom's offer is safer now that their location is out (no matter if its true or not :P)
May 25, 2021 10:08 pm
We could say they need to talk to Fancy, we're here to ensure their safety and provide a way out.
May 25, 2021 10:12 pm
I like that. we'll say we are the taxi, not the mediator
May 25, 2021 10:20 pm
Oh, thats right. The deal is between Dancy and Reom, not between us and Reom, correct?
Last edited May 25, 2021 10:44 pm
May 25, 2021 10:21 pm
Sorry, Dancy. Bloody phones.
May 26, 2021 4:24 am
:D - Sounds like you have it. Dancy was just a contact, Reom needed a team and it made sense for Dancy's off screen plans to help him, so he could help her with 'other stuff'. Reom hired you to find any tech and survivors.

The Captain and what remains of his crew have spent 20 years crashed on a planet wondering if they'd ever be found and worried that if it was by the Empire, they'd be tossed in prison or executed as 'war criminals' or whatever.

So Suspicions abound, trust is in short supply, etc.
May 27, 2021 9:57 pm
sorry been a crazy week. might take a look at this tomorrow.
Jun 8, 2021 11:17 am
Good day sirs, Are we waiting on me? I think everyone is ready to move, but haven't felt the "Yes, Lets move out" that I guess I was expecting.
Jun 8, 2021 4:14 pm
Blih asked a question that was left unanswered, but let's move out I guess
Jun 8, 2021 4:30 pm
haha, I thought no one answered because they all wanted to use the violence option.
Jun 8, 2021 5:05 pm
The players already answered. The last question was directed at Harsol's last comment.
Jun 9, 2021 3:10 pm
Do I have time to rig some sort of trap in the ship that locks them in if they go inside?
Jun 9, 2021 7:50 pm
Possibly, but you'd have to direct them to a particular entry. You guys took an 'easy' route and climbed up to the Bridge. But there are several missing panels and busted hatches across the huge ship they could use to enter.
Jun 14, 2021 11:57 am
So, meta gaming for a moment. Do we blast them or try and negotiate? I know what Ken would like to do...

ETA also, can we get the advantage of two prior Aim actions (i.e. 2 blue dice) since we're in an ambush situation and have had time to line them up.

ETA2 if we don't want to cut them down in cold blood we could use a stun setting but I'd guess we're not at close range.
Last edited June 14, 2021 12:38 pm
Jun 14, 2021 6:56 pm
You can totally use the 2 advantages for either shooty or if Blih want's to 'speak' from the bush, he can use the Advantage on his Social check.
Jun 15, 2021 4:58 am
Honestly, I don't know. Maybe we could let the captain lead?
Jun 15, 2021 7:50 pm
nah, we're the heroes of the story. :) Attack or try and talk first, I'm fine either way and will follow your lead
Jun 15, 2021 7:54 pm
let's get a shooty mcshooty shoot (pergano would never advocate for this BUT while we are meta gaming, that seems to be the fun choice) :)
Jun 15, 2021 8:01 pm
Yeah, we can't let the NPCs take the lead. We're trying to impress them. We could always take out the leader and then see if they'll talk. Or Blih can tell them they're surrounded and time to give it up.
Jun 15, 2021 8:11 pm
Blih doesnt have any leverage on them to make them leave the planet. Having them surrender would be coercion rather than deception, which he his not skilled at (yet anyway :P we might need it eventually)

So that leave our trigger happy Ken to lead the way!
Jun 15, 2021 8:17 pm
Ken don't need asking twice...
Jun 15, 2021 9:46 pm
hey, wasn't there a new player that was going to join? I keep expecting one of these NPC's to be them
Jun 15, 2021 9:49 pm
Oh yeah, I hope we're not about to murder them!
Jun 15, 2021 10:03 pm
1st I thought we'd find a crazy old hermit on the ship. Then maybe one of the survivors. Oh, Maybe they are a Nexu?
Jun 15, 2021 11:19 pm
:D He did offer to jump right it, but I felt have 'been stranded for 20 years' a harsh way to show up. :)
Jun 16, 2021 2:30 am
He could have been frozen in Carbonite :)
Jun 16, 2021 8:12 am
Hehe, I'm watching from the sidelines, enjoying the proceedings very much! :) And I agree, it would've been hard to be stranded for 20 years waiting for you all! ;)
Jun 16, 2021 9:42 pm
i don't think AD-hoc can get close enough to the scout to punch him, so I'll just aim, and be ready for next round in case they come in range of the goo gun
Jun 23, 2021 3:22 pm
I'm thinking we've got two options (1) open fire on the Rodians and hope the Nexu get scared off - then we get their ship (if we survive) (2) Ken calls Blih and suggests he uses his newly acquired Yiyar communicator to reach a deal with them in exchange for helping them fight off the Nexu - not sure we get the ship then.
Jun 23, 2021 3:28 pm
isn't the Nexu on our side? Let the kitty have its snack, give the ship to the survivors, and let's find this mystery tech
Jun 23, 2021 5:07 pm
Not 100% sure this is one of Cratala's Cybernetically enhanced Nexu but...Rodians being eaten by Nexu might make it less hungry for us.
Jun 23, 2021 5:18 pm
haha, we don't have to outrun the Nexu, just the Rodians
Jun 23, 2021 5:57 pm
@crazybirdman - This Nexu is a local creature, not one of the enhanced ones.
Jun 25, 2021 2:38 am
My character and me are still unsure about this part of the "plan". So, if nobody reacts really, maybe we should just roll a stealth and let things advance for a turn or turn?
Jun 25, 2021 2:47 am
Well what's our immediate goal? Finish of the rodoans? Don't get eaten by a nexu?
Jun 25, 2021 2:52 am
We don't know the next step because its between Dancy and Harsol to have the details of the deal/evacuation.

We kinda already did everything in our contract already if I recall correctly.
Jun 25, 2021 3:14 am
Don't we still need to find out what this mystery Tech is? Does Harsol have it? Or is it somewhere else? Maybe it's in the other half of the wrecked ship? Assuming we only saw half of it that is
Last edited June 25, 2021 3:15 am

Reminder -

Dancy was just a contact, Reom needed a team and it made sense for Dancy's off screen plans to help him, so he could help her with 'other stuff'. Reom hired you to find any tech and survivors.
Jun 25, 2021 8:32 pm
Presumably the cybernetics are the tech. But we've basically stalled negotiating over it until we get the Rodians sorted out. I think we said they'd need to meet with Dancy but we can just use that as an excuse. Thennwe can negotiate with them with the attractive baot that we can get them off the planet and we've proven we can take care of things.

For the moment I'm tempted to follow Blih and watch what happens to the Rodians. I'm a bit worried opening fire will attract the Nexu (is the plural of Nexu still Nexu?)
Jun 27, 2021 2:38 pm
Actually I think the plural of Nexu is "Run!!"
Jul 6, 2021 7:17 pm
Ken's plan sounds like "Help Me" from Thor Ragnorock...just saying :p
Jul 6, 2021 7:56 pm
haha, I like it. let's do it.
Jul 6, 2021 8:16 pm
Wait, who does that make Ken...?
Jul 6, 2021 8:21 pm
Ken is Loki AND Thor in this scenario.
Jul 21, 2021 6:54 pm
totally forgot about Xelforp...that was a great reveal haha

I was half expecting to be a blasting :)
Jul 21, 2021 6:56 pm
Shoot him, shoot him. Damn, good job Ken's not there.
Jul 21, 2021 7:03 pm
lol, you mean stun right?
Jul 21, 2021 7:08 pm
Glad it was enjoyed / unexpected. :)
Jul 21, 2021 7:15 pm
Please don't shoot me, not on my first post! 😆
Jul 28, 2021 10:44 pm
Do we want a "group" discussion OOC about naming the ship? or try and debate that "in character" ?
Jul 29, 2021 12:15 pm
No problem with either way here, or someone can just say. "Done" and the name discussion can continue in parallel with play.
Jul 29, 2021 2:41 pm
maybe a name that hints at how it was creatively acquired.
Jul 29, 2021 2:55 pm
crazybirdman says:

The "Rodian Get Help"?
Jul 29, 2021 2:56 pm
by no means a serious suggestion haha
Jul 30, 2021 9:34 pm
I say in character. Chance to chat with Xelforp's character.
Jul 30, 2021 9:43 pm
Let me know if a skill check is needed to make the name change and such
Aug 3, 2021 7:40 pm
I offer the Slippery Ghest as a name.
Aug 10, 2021 5:09 pm
So we've got two ships and one pilot. Can anyone else fly, e.g. Dancy? Ken has AGL 4 so could take the controls in a pinch.

And what are we planning to do with Blih, NPC him or let him quietly disappear into the background?
Aug 10, 2021 5:39 pm
What did we do with the scout we had?
Aug 10, 2021 7:13 pm
Yes, Dancy can fly one ship, and Jeswain and Blih can be on that ship, so the party's "split" but not really.
Aug 10, 2021 7:14 pm
Ah, I see you've done this before...
Aug 16, 2021 5:21 pm
just want to make sure I know what's going on. We have two ships we are trying to lead up with survivors, and they will all go back to the wheel to complete the job Reom gave us.
We want to split up Harsol and Cratala.
And there is an incoming ship we can assume are treasure/bounty hunters
Aug 17, 2021 5:55 pm
Actually, Reom wanted you to bring them to a hidden IsoTech base on Raxus Prime. Showing up at the wheel with 'long lost' potential enemies of the Empire might create issues. Yep, two ships all the crew and incoming ship that is treasure/bounty hunters/worse.
Aug 17, 2021 9:49 pm
With conversations "split" right now, I am going to go ahead and just start "quoting" everything to keep the whole conversation visible for my side.
Aug 24, 2021 11:28 pm
wait, are we splitting the group between the two ships or are all PC's going in one and then the rest of everyone going in the other?
Aug 24, 2021 11:46 pm
I know we decided to split the NPC's but I did assume all the PC's would be in the Slippery Ghest
Aug 25, 2021 11:24 am
Makes sense to keep the group together and 'crew' one ship. Otherwise we're running two groups and half of each 'crew' are NPCs.
Aug 25, 2021 2:27 pm
As long as there's a decent pilot among the survivors.
Aug 25, 2021 4:14 pm
Dancy can pilot well enough to get by. But yes, there should be some pilots among the survivors.
Aug 25, 2021 4:26 pm
Cool. What's the status of the other ship? Does my character need to scan to see what it's up to?
Aug 25, 2021 7:23 pm
It is working the search pattern, heading your way. You can Scan for more information, or you can jam it. They'll know someone's there, but it'll be hard to find you.
Aug 25, 2021 8:12 pm
Can I do anything to make them think they left the toaster oven on back home? (sorry, happened to me today)
Aug 27, 2021 11:19 am
Oh my, I left a teapot on the stove one weekend...

I can't think of anything, all of the ships are in one spot. So anything you do would have to be right there. You'll only real 'surprise' is the sensor Jammer.
Aug 27, 2021 1:14 pm
Maybe we just blast off in opposite directions? Of just lift off guns blazing
Aug 27, 2021 1:55 pm
Do we know what kind of ship it is? Could we gang up on it, take it out?
Aug 27, 2021 2:32 pm
Not without trying to do a focused Scan on it. There's a chance it will notice being scanned.
Aug 27, 2021 2:59 pm
My thought, we take Cratala and take off in the new ship she seems the most valuable asset to me. Harsol and Dancy with directions on where the rendezvous point is and just skiddaddle.

If we gotta do some fancy flying we do some fancy flying. I am still unsure on how the Jammer works but that will help in our escape.
Aug 27, 2021 4:14 pm
I like it, we can jam their sensors right before lift of. That should buy us a few moments at least.
Sep 3, 2021 3:38 pm
we doing initiative for "combat" or keeping it free form still?
Sep 8, 2021 3:03 pm
Spent my XP on Solid Repairs 10 & Utility Belt 15 talents
Sep 8, 2021 9:01 pm
Ken will take Rapid Reaction (5xp) and Quick Strike (10xp) talents and increase Perception to 1 (5xp).
Sep 8, 2021 11:53 pm
15XP for Improved Full Throttle and 5XP for 2nd rank in Skilled Jockey
Sep 13, 2021 8:01 pm
I am having a tough time finding the Ship Specs. Could we maybe get a specific locked thread these? I am trying to figure out my best course of action in this chase
Sep 13, 2021 8:30 pm
I put a link to them in my character sheet, but that would be a good idea
Sep 13, 2021 10:03 pm
Also, my full throttle should at least give us some good speed balancing against the TIE's. Adding 3 to max speed of a ship can make a Star Destroyer almost the same speed as an A-wing.

edit: Oh I totally read that wrong. It increases max speed for 1, per number of rounds equal to cunning. Not max speed by cunning. haha still. +1 is huge I think to close the gap
Last edited September 13, 2021 10:08 pm
Sep 14, 2021 12:28 pm
Correct, so you guys are now running at 5, which is your full speed plus the 1 from Full Throttle. The Tie's max speed is also 5. So your equally matched in speed for a while. You'll probably want to take as much advantage of that as you can. :)
Sep 14, 2021 7:32 pm
will get a post up tonight.

Just to be sure, my roll is for me to either gain/lose ground on them in the chase correct? Wouldn't going faster make that easier not harder?
Sep 15, 2021 11:47 am
Nope, your roll is maneuvering through the debris canyon. It's dangerous in here.
Oct 12, 2021 5:07 pm
sorry for the slow posting, entire family came down with a cold last week, should be better this week.
Oct 13, 2021 12:41 pm
No worries. It's fall break around here. May disappear come Thursday myself.
Oct 14, 2021 12:50 pm
Hey all,

It's fall break around here and we're finally doing a little traveling, etc. So, I may not be back on until Monday.
Oct 21, 2021 11:22 pm
Hi guys. I'm working this holiday weekend so I'll be slow to post if at all. Off next week so hope to catch-up then.
Oct 22, 2021 4:29 pm
is this a split the group situation? not sure how comfortable we are with that but I was kind of thinking Pergano and Ken, take to the ship to intercept/distract the TIE's while AD-Hoc and Foess help get the frigate in the air.

edit: also this would have been a nice time to have that 5th person we initially had for the extra gun. maybe he can NPC help?
Last edited October 22, 2021 4:31 pm
Oct 22, 2021 8:20 pm
I'll have my character try to fix Roems ship and get back to ours. If not, we'll figure it out. maybe the doctor should stay with the organic lifeforms?
Oct 25, 2021 11:39 am
This is set up to be a split the group if you want to. If you succeed in escaping, then you'll all rendezvous and close out the business dealings. You should be able to recruit someone for the extra gun.
Oct 25, 2021 2:49 pm
Doctors are *usually* high intelligence. Pretty good for Mechanics/Computers checks so I would argue Ken/Pergano/extra gunner take to the skies. Ad-Hoc and Foess help fix the ship.

edit: and now I will stop meta-gaming :p
Last edited October 25, 2021 2:49 pm
Oct 25, 2021 2:50 pm
Good point, Foess can go help - he's been around, seen a ship or two. :)
Oct 25, 2021 3:40 pm
haha, don't sweat it, you're right after all. the droid and the doc will maybe do some combined checks
Nov 10, 2021 6:35 pm
Hi all, things kicking off at work (and at home unfortunately) with, I dunno, the fourth wave of COVID now. Will endeavour to post but could well be delayed.
Nov 11, 2021 1:11 pm
No worries. We'll keep you in the loop.
Dec 6, 2021 7:00 pm
Question for the group: Are we simply splitting the money evenly between the five of us?

Question for the GM: Can I use the Jury Rigged talent to increase the range of AD-hoc multi glue gun from Short to Medium? If not, may I use it to reduce the advantage needed to activate Ensnare?
Dec 6, 2021 9:31 pm
Esidrix says:
Reom is extra happy with the way things turned out. He pays you 30,000 credits. Also, it's 25 XP for everyone. Fixing the ship is really issue of time. AD-hoc recovered most of the metal you need and the techs on the corvette are willing to lend a hand. Any thoughts / last minute shopping here before we move on (or if we want to move on) ?
I'd be keen to continue, I'm enjoying it. I'd suggest an even split of the money.
Dec 7, 2021 1:37 am
Yeah, loving this game, bring on the next adventure!
Dec 7, 2021 9:45 am
I enjoy this story, although I'm not quite sure if I picked the best option for my character! Will he be useful for future adventures?

And I'm still learning the ropes, so I have to depend on the rule book or you all quite a bit for rolling the dice. But the Star Wars universe is a fun place which I'm keen to explore.
Dec 7, 2021 1:11 pm
@Xelforp, Pretty sure Ken not going to fast draw every bad guy for the rest of the game, he'll need a doctor eventually. Plus, having the 'humanitarian' character around gives Role play options.
Dec 7, 2021 5:35 pm
I seem to recall getting shot up earlier in the adventure and having no one to give Ken any first aid.
Dec 7, 2021 5:41 pm
We were there fr you emotionally. lol. Esidrix is right though, this system allows for so much creativity when your character is in a role they aren't really suited for. You get to have fun thinking outside the box.
Dec 7, 2021 5:46 pm
We're not exactly set up as a bunch of fighters anyway, if Ken is one of our more combat proficient. I forsee many opportunities to get beaten up in future.
Dec 8, 2021 10:19 am
Well, I'll just have Foess shoot some of you if he feels like patching someone up then! :P

So, Foess will stick around - the pay is good and the adventures are exciting! :)

p.s. the 30000 credits are split equally in five parts?

Hectic times here, end of term (teaching in secondary school) and finalizing grades and reports! :)
Dec 16, 2021 11:56 pm
I'm definitely slowing down. Happy to continue over Christmas but a break of a week or two would also be welcome.
Dec 17, 2021 12:34 am
Sorry guys Holidays/Life took over. A little break than continuing would be great...I do have a baby coming in February so although I think I will have time one can only guess how great I will be then

Dec 17, 2021 4:13 am
I absolutely have something for you guys, but I'm more than willing to spin it back up the 10th of January. With the understanding that we may all be on diaper duty with valdattaMadun soon after that. Super Congrats man!
Dec 17, 2021 4:30 pm
Thanks all, this is actually our 2nd child so I hope we don't get all too much unsolicited advise haha but our first daughter, so that is exciting/scary. I couldn't figure out teenage girls when I was a teenager, how in the world will I end up figuring out a teenage girl as a parent
Dec 17, 2021 5:37 pm

I, on the other hand, am so old that I've got 3 grandchildren already! But also a 12 yo kid who is turning into a teenage troll! :P

crazybirdman: Is your wife's family from Germany or did they move there?
Dec 18, 2021 10:39 pm
They are from there, her older sister was born there, she and her bother were born in the USofA.
Dec 28, 2021 4:58 pm
Crazybirdman posted something regarding talent sheets in the main forums that I am trying to use our game (thank you kind sir). I like it and figured we should share it here
crazybirdman says:
1st Attempt at the Star Wars FFG Talent Tree:
[ +- ] Lots you'll have to fill in. Delete arrow if there is no 'link' between talents
Dec 28, 2021 5:24 pm
Mind you, you might still want to put talents full description in 'Talents" section of the Gamersplane character sheet, because they are adding a feature where you can quickly drop it into a post. I think that feature works for D&D now.
Dec 29, 2021 6:58 pm
Honestly I was just going to use it more to track the talent tree more than the descriptions of talents.

I keep having to reverse engineer how I got my talents to level up haha
Dec 29, 2021 8:39 pm
I think that's what I'll do too. add the talent descriptions as I buy them
Jan 6, 2022 5:33 pm
For the record here I am going to purchase one rank of Astrogation (5XP) and Grit in my talent tree (20XP)
Jan 6, 2022 8:08 pm
I'm buying one rank of Gunnery (10XP) and one of Medicine (15XP). Foess really loved shooting! :P
Jan 14, 2022 8:18 pm
Hey all, We've picked up Northman as a fifth member of the team. I'll be folding him into the story fairly quickly.
Jan 14, 2022 9:16 pm
Welcome to the team
Jan 14, 2022 11:56 pm
Greetings all! :) Looking forward to playing with you. Apparently, I'll be bringing a little muscle to the table (I think you are able to peek at the character from the character tab).

Just to mention it: I haven't read any of the earlier game threads, so I'm just as in the dark about your characters and exploits as my character is. Figured it would lead to some roleplay opportunities.

Just an update on me personally, my wife is now 37 weeks pregnant. Our son came at 38 weeks.

If baby come I will try and get on here to post, but if I disappear for too long make assumptions move me to "designated pilot" NPC for a bit and I will try and see what I can do.
Jan 25, 2022 1:08 pm
Awesome and best wishes.

Hoping it all goes okay. You might have lots of waiting around to spend PbP gaming! Reminds me that I still have the Xbox 360 that my brothers bought me a few months before my first was born. Got a few plays and then very little attention for a decade. My youngest was playing a Kinect Star Wars game today - proper weird dancing mode:

This reminds me, I have been thinking of wanting to play a Halo TTRPG using Genesys/FFG system as a base. Feel the system would work great for that setting.

I posted in the Absences thread awhile ago but forgot to report here:

Baby Girl was born on 2/11/22. Happy Healthy.

Feel free to NPC me/disappear me for a bit until I can gather the time and energy to rejoin again :)

Mar 10, 2022 4:16 pm
Did we lose Northman?
Mar 10, 2022 9:05 pm
Possibly - he hasn't been on GP for 22 days. If I remember correctly, he's in Norway, so there could be circumstances.
Mar 11, 2022 4:59 pm
ah well, coulda used the firepower here. Who's up next?
Mar 15, 2022 10:32 pm
Just a heads up that I'm away from Thursday to next week (St Patrick's Day long weekend here in Ireland) so posting will be...sporadic.
Mar 16, 2022 2:02 pm
No worries, we're in New Orleans for the week, looking forward to Thursday as well.
Apr 4, 2022 3:27 am
Hi guys! Really really sorry that I've been AWOL for like two months. I got covid and was totally out of it for almost two weeks, and afterwards I learned that my dad had a tumor in his lung so things have NOT been good since last I posted and my lack of posting has really not been intentional. I really love this site. Just... Bad things happened so fast in my life that this wasn't the first place to inform...
Apr 4, 2022 3:48 am
Glad you're ok. We get it, real life takes priority.
Apr 4, 2022 11:19 am
Glad to hear you good. Come back when you can, until then, take care of you.

Good to hear from you again! :) Real life has this knack of interrupting once in a while, glad you're ok!
Apr 13, 2022 8:51 pm
Sorry, something's come up IRL and I've been very distracted. Hoping to get responses for my games by the weekend.
Apr 16, 2022 2:47 am
It's Easter weekend here in the States. I'm know I'm usually unavailable on the weekends and we'll be doing some traveling, so worst case, I'm back Monday morning.
Apr 21, 2022 2:22 pm
Are we waiting on me ?
Apr 21, 2022 3:35 pm
I think so. I took a bit of time of for Easter too. Also wondering of our Mando or pilot were back?
Apr 21, 2022 6:28 pm
I was sunning myself in Rome over the Easter break so I'm only just back too.
Apr 21, 2022 8:04 pm
Glad everyone had some time to relax. I have no idea on the status of our fellow team members, valdattaMadun has the new baby and Northman was 'active' two weeks ago. I figure we'll move the story along with them being quiet for a bit and if we need to recruit, we can.
Apr 23, 2022 7:32 pm
I'm here, been busy during Easter working on the summer house and spending time with the kids. :-)
Apr 25, 2022 7:42 pm
Forgive my ignorance, but what is a Summer house?

Ahh, it's a house we're building in the country, on a lot on my parents' farm. A holiday house? Summer cottage? Cabin? :)

Hey everyone.

My paternity leave just ended, happy healthy baby girl.

I am looking to start playing again, if/when there is room for me still more than happy to start things up. Looks like y'all been busy :)
May 12, 2022 6:51 pm
Congratulations and Welcome back! Yes, I was assuming Pergano was 'following along' with the group. :)
May 12, 2022 7:22 pm
Welcome back. I don't think it's a problem at all for you to jump back in and start playing.
May 12, 2022 7:43 pm
I will get my bearings and start posting hopefully early next week :)
Jul 6, 2022 9:14 pm
Thanks for the invite! I see that you guys have done quite a bit already. Here's a couple of questions that I'm sure are to be followed by some more.
1) Where should I start looking for what I need to know about this game in particular?
2) How are we handling character generation at this stage?
Jul 6, 2022 9:33 pm
I can't speak for the GM, but

1) We are at a great jumping in point, we just completed a job, and don't have any pending task. We just have a ship, and our obligations
2)I can't speak for the GM, but I assume you get extra 50000 xp :)

Yes, both of these things sound to be spot on accurate and completely reasonable. No need to wait for GM approval.
Jul 7, 2022 2:03 am
:D

The players probably have a better read on XP, but I'm assuming if you make a starting character and then add 20 xp. You'll be in the ballpark. One of the things that I've like about Star Wars RPGs (except d20) is that XP differences aren't really all that detrimental.

As to the game, we're aiming for Rebel-ish, more Edge of the Empire, not so law-abiding types.
Jul 7, 2022 2:14 am
Sounds good. Any restrictions?
Jul 7, 2022 10:55 am
I'd go no Jedi or Sith. Other than that, pick something fun.
Jul 7, 2022 11:05 am
Awesome! Okay everyone, what kind of person is the crew looking to recruit? I'm currently either considering someone that brings brawn to the table or maybe someone who can do some piloting but may be more focused on planetary. What does the crew need?
Jul 7, 2022 2:01 pm
I always say to play the character you'd like to. We could always use some muscle for when a fight breaks out. Or a face.
Jul 7, 2022 2:56 pm
Which players are still in?
Jul 7, 2022 3:11 pm
Mephistophilis/Keno Tetsu

crazybirdman/AD-hoc

Xelforp/Foess Awathne

valdattaMadun/Pergano Wallali - out with a new baby - but still checks in. Hopefully will return.
Jul 7, 2022 3:27 pm
I thought Xelforp was leaving us?
Jul 8, 2022 1:06 am
Hey, all. I'm the other new guy. Been doing vacation stuff this week (kinda still am). Will get a character together shortly.
Jul 8, 2022 1:32 pm
I think I am nearly ready to submit my character. I am currently purchasing equipment. Should I stick with the 500+1d100 or should there be more to average with the current party?
Jul 8, 2022 2:04 pm
Also I am in between the Survivalist Bounty Hunter and Scout Explorer. Any ideas or input on that?
Jul 8, 2022 4:15 pm
I personally prefer the survivalist. It may be too long term thinking for pbp, but you can also start thinking about what you'd want your second spec to be. Save some XP if it's in career
Jul 8, 2022 11:50 pm
I am thinking Smuggler Theif or Tech Slicer. I'm leaning towards theif mostly because I really dislike the Slicer talent tree
Jul 9, 2022 4:05 pm
Question: Do us new PCs get any extra spending cash to go with our 20 extra XP?

Edited: I was thinking Smuggler/Theif, but now I'm seeing folks mentioning being light on muscle. I tend to like making fighty characters, but so does everyone else, so I was thinking I'd steer away from that instinct. However, if the crew needs a shooty guy, I've got a concept that I really like. Gonna mess around with Oggdude's a bit more. Final submission later today.

You can click on Ken's sheet. He's a Rodian Smuggler/Scoundrel. Basically high AGL (4) with a sideline in PRE (3) and CUN (3). Bit of a jack of all trades but focusing more on shooting people at the moment since we're pretty light on muscle.
Jul 9, 2022 4:23 pm
Pergano is the pilot. AD-Hoc more tech. In the absence of Xelforp we lack a medic. We're a little light on combat oriented characters. But to be honest I'd just go with what you like the look of, we're a ragtag crew!

RAAMtentacles says:

I don't have huge amounts of experience but I know some people are a bit down on the Scout due to lack of combat abilities. Personally I like the flavour and did make a Scout character for another game that didn't get off the ground.
Jul 9, 2022 6:07 pm
Now I have decided to go with a Chadra-fan Bounty-Hunter / Gadgeteer. His skillset has overlap with other PCs, but... that's just who he is. He used to be a "sidekick" / weapon smith for a bigger, badder bounty hunter until a job went south and that person got killed. Now he needs a new crew to hang with and a new source of income to pay his debts.
Jul 9, 2022 6:13 pm
Interesting, I'm going to go with a Nautolan Bounty Hunter / Survivalist. He's an up-and-comer trying to make a name for himself. As such, he has no ship and few resources so he's looking for some partners.
Jul 9, 2022 6:16 pm
Maybe we partnered up first, and then joined this crew. Alternatively, I could alter my backstory, and my PC could have started as the sidekick / weapon smith to your PC. We could coordinate our obligations, and together seek out a crew to join.
Jul 9, 2022 6:26 pm
I like the idea of us pairing up first and then meeting them later. I don't think my character is the type for a "sidekick", he would rather partner with someone, plus he's probably too new. I'm waiting to hear what our credit situation is before I decide on my obligation but I think it would be great to coordinate obligation for our characters, or at least part of it.
Jul 9, 2022 7:09 pm
I'm imagining that Meebo's (my character) first partner ran up some kind of obligation, and when he died, that obligation got forcibly transferred to Meebo. My initial thought is monetary debt, but could be some other thing his first partner did that Meebo needs to make up for.
Last edited July 9, 2022 7:09 pm
Jul 9, 2022 7:24 pm
We can work with the monetary debt. I think Nox's (my character) obligation will be split between experience and credits so he could owe some money too in addition to his other obligation of experience.
Jul 9, 2022 8:45 pm
Random comment: I've been really busy IRL so haven't been able to start any new games recently. Have to say, I love the back and forth you see in character creation!
Jul 9, 2022 9:02 pm
The new guys can go ahead and take 2k credits. We didn't offer it to any of the previous 'new' characters. But Xelforp, if he stays is the only 'new' character to make it past 8 posts. :)

I like the character concepts and do agree that showing up as a team makes the story telling a little easier. Background for the new guys: Meebo and Nox's obligation are to the same crime lord, Sagus, on Ord Mantell. They were sharing a (down on our luck) drink down the street when a human female, Dancy, approached them. She said she knew Meebo's former partner and knew what kind of burden they were now under. She was willing to give them a ride to a Tech company she sometimes worked with that was always looking to hire 'research' partners.

Character creation, despite my agonizing over it, is one of my favorite parts of ttrpg's. I love weaving a character with a rich story into the world and story that someone has created.

We'll keep it moving and hope your back fully soon. Enjoy the vacation time.

Hey guys, I've had deep dive technical interviews all day and I'm mush. I'll get us going in the morning.
Sep 14, 2022 10:22 pm
Oh wow, interviewing or were you the interviewer?
Sep 15, 2022 1:15 pm
Interviewing. My last company has a history of growing their IT for about 7-10 years and then Boom, big layoffs. So, for the last 3 weeks I've been alternating between keeping the games going and trying to get hired again :) Yesterday seemed to go well, so maybe I'll have a little less time for GP.
Sep 15, 2022 2:16 pm
ah, my buddy says he goes through that same cycle. Tries to get out before he has to train his replacement. Good luck. Let us know if you need to use us as a reference lol
Sep 20, 2022 3:02 pm
Ok, so next time I'm going to have to throw in some un-avoidable combat. :P You guys did a little too well at stepping over or avoiding all of the possible pitfalls. Does anyone want to do anything specific before we fast forward to IsoTech showing up?

Also, we'll go 15xp for the successful (no shots fired, like how is that even possible) adventure.
Sep 20, 2022 4:52 pm
Nox is ready to go and missing the action that he's accustomed to.
Sep 20, 2022 8:04 pm
No major plans - Ken would like to get the facility operational and will strut around ordering people about but he doesn't actually have any skills to even make a start understanding the computer systems. He will prepare the team's pitch to get control over the facility as a base of operations for the team and an unofficial repair and refuelling stop for IsoTech.

I'll spend my remaining XP to upgrade Charm (10XP) and to gain the Side Step talent (15XP).
Sep 21, 2022 2:05 am
Meebo would like to see if he can gather up enough tools to make a "tool kit" (per the item in the gear list of the rulebook). He plans to ask IsoTech if he can keep the tool kit and one of the blaster rifles as part of his payment for the job.
Sep 21, 2022 3:15 pm
AD-hoc will ask Isotech for a welding rod from maintenance. He can use it to help repair the ship, and more importantly, himself!
Sep 22, 2022 4:32 pm
Yes to both Meebo and AD-hoc. Both requests are reasonable for the amount of gear at the base.
Sep 22, 2022 5:11 pm
ah man, we shoulda asked for a vulture droid! lol
Sep 22, 2022 9:36 pm

Hey guys, we have a new player. Vespin is pretty new to GP and was looking for somewhere to hop in. Since it looks like we lost Xelforp and we don't know if valdattaMadun will make it back, seemed like a good place to fold someone in.
Sep 25, 2022 11:20 pm
Sounds good to me. timplausible and I are pretty new to game here so nothing too out of the ordinary for this crew.

Sep 29, 2022 2:51 pm
Any thoughts, needs or questions before we move on?
Sep 29, 2022 2:57 pm
Any chance of trying to get hold of some Imperial flight codes, to help us get in/out?
Sep 29, 2022 4:03 pm
can't be too hard if we get into an Imperial ship
Sep 29, 2022 7:37 pm
You'd have to be on planet and break into flight control or somewhere close enough to hack the system for codes or grab someone that might have codes and get them to share or search for a ship that's about to take off and take that one rather than a random one. All of which are viable options, once you're on the ground, it's up to you guys how you run the op.
Sep 29, 2022 8:55 pm
definitely should have asked for a vulture droid, lol
Sep 30, 2022 10:06 am
We probably still can. At least one to use for the op.
Sep 30, 2022 1:32 pm
I feel better now about having not posted yesterday. I didn't know what to post, so I was waiting for more posts. But now I see you folks have been talking in here. (I'm new to PbP.)
Sep 30, 2022 6:58 pm
No problem, it's an easy way for table talk not to break the flow of the story. We don't always pop over here but we try.

@crazybirdman - my original Idea included using a Vulture droid, but I swapped it up for the Paragliders...
Oct 1, 2022 4:37 am
Cool,let's do it! I'm excited to see how badly paragliding works for a Droid focused on mechanics lol

Oct 10, 2022 3:45 am
Maybe Tomas should roll it. He'll feel like a part of the group if he saves AD-hoc. And if he fails AD-hoc can bring it up constantly ,j/k
Oct 10, 2022 10:38 am
I think Tomas is statistically best but if he doesn't want to, Nox can.
Oct 11, 2022 2:48 pm
All of you are pretty close in piloting. We just need someone to give AD-hoc a push to break him out of the death sprial .
Oct 11, 2022 3:09 pm
So Nox lets me reroll a piloting check, I get one boost for the handling, and another boost from Kens TED talk?
Oct 11, 2022 9:30 pm
Well, I'm going to stretch the assist rules a tad a give you a green from Ken. With Nox's physical assist , you get a roll to land without damage. So your dice are YGPPB. Success equals a rough landing with some strain. A fail would be short range fall damage since Nox did help you change your descent vector.
Oct 11, 2022 9:38 pm
haha, please stretch away . . .

Related to the above - can we easily transport them when we aren't flying with them?
Oct 15, 2022 4:41 pm
They do fold up. They are the unpowered version, so definitely cheap enough to be disposable. But they do fold up easily and wear like a small book backpack.

no problem. Think about what you want to do, what your character would do. What your characters goals are. (you can be a little greedy :) ) Maybe you character always wanted a speeder, so you try to steer the group towards a ship full of those.
Nov 8, 2022 4:03 am
My character doesn't want to be there at all. lol

But I get what you're saying. This is the first time Tomas has done anything like this, and he's not comfortable with it, so he just wants it to be over.

lol, yeah. everyone still has their wing suit right? Just in case
Nov 10, 2022 2:36 pm
Um, yeah, of course Tomas does... totally... ...

Got it! Hoping not to use it!
Nov 11, 2022 3:44 pm
FYI - my posts will likely be short and more reactive for a week or so. I just got into the 13th Age 2nd Edition playtest as a GM, and I'm going to be spending a lot of time trying to quickly get set up to run that. I'm still committed to this game though, and once I'm done with my initial 13A prep work, I'll get back to more detailed posting here.

If I start to be a problem, give me a nudge.
Nov 12, 2022 3:14 pm
Thanks for the heads up and good luck.
Nov 14, 2022 1:33 pm
So, does Ken toss a frag or a stun grenade?
Nov 14, 2022 2:56 pm
Stun at first, frag at the ready.
Nov 14, 2022 6:26 pm
So what are the odds of Nox dual wielding blaster rifles? Like one tucked into each arm Rambo style?
Nov 14, 2022 8:31 pm
Chance for Wielding is high, chance of hitting is not. :) From a game mech/rules point, two weapon combat needs to be one handed melee or Ranged-light pistols size blasters. It would look cool though.
Nov 14, 2022 8:33 pm
Well when you put it that way.... Looking cool is 90% of being cool, right?
Nov 14, 2022 11:36 pm
Here goes nothing!
Dec 5, 2022 12:22 am
What are we looking for Nox to do? Do I need to roll something or just come up with an action?
Dec 5, 2022 1:43 pm
@RAAMtentacles - Sorry, I guess if you were inside my head, you'd know :P You just need to declare if you're taking off, waiting for them to clear off the ramp, etc. We shouldn't need a roll unless you are going full throttle or doing a barrel roll or something equally as flashy/dangerous.
Dec 5, 2022 1:45 pm
Got it. Hmmmm, Nox is pretty wild. He just might do something like that.... Probably not at the risk of his companions though.

Hey, gang. My wife is dealing with some medical stuff, and I won't be posting for at least a few more days while that's going on. Hopefully I'll be back by Wednesday or so, and hopefully that's not too disruptive. Feel free to NPC Meebo as needed.
Dec 12, 2022 12:39 pm
Take your time and thanks for the heads up.

Hey, team. Real life is preventing me from keeping up with my games, so I am sadly backing away from Gamersplane for a while. Sorry to bail. It's been fun. Good luck, all.
Dec 31, 2022 4:45 pm
Thanks Tim. Hope everything is going well with you. See you later!
Jan 2, 2023 3:45 pm
Understood. Let us know if you make it back. :) Be well.
Jan 10, 2023 10:20 pm
I think I want to get AD-hoc an integrated ascension gun, but install it into his last two internal spots instead of on armor.
Even though there is most likely something much more practical to get

I can see you wanting to be able to go up, since you 'fall' better than everyone else :P
Jan 11, 2023 2:53 am
Well guys, now that the adventure is over, I think it's time for me to bow out. This was very much a learning experience for me, and I'm grateful for all of you. Perhaps we'll run into each other again sometime. :)
Jan 11, 2023 3:13 pm
ok, see you round the site :)
Jan 11, 2023 4:16 pm
Thanks for playing, Vespin. Happy gaming!
Jan 11, 2023 10:48 pm
Would Dancy or Isotech have any equipment for sale, or will we have to make a shopping run?
Jan 12, 2023 1:12 pm
Isotech would have, Dancy doesn't work for Isotech, they just have overlapping interests and keep crossing paths. You guys could fly back to the Isotech ship you helped save or pop off to a higher tech world for a shopping trip... Maybe somewhere with a beach :)
Jan 12, 2023 4:14 pm
I think my character would hate sand more than I do. lol. He might want to work on his tan though.

I wanna get the grappling hook, and a slicing computer for the ship, so we may need a quick shopping trip
Jan 12, 2023 4:20 pm
Yeah, I think Nox needs to do some shopping as well. Although, he may be looking for some restricted items.
Jan 14, 2023 9:48 pm
Ken would like to spend his credits getting his weapon modified.
Jan 14, 2023 10:02 pm
Are we assuming that Meebo is parting ways here too?
Jan 16, 2023 3:05 pm
We'll for the folks who might come back, I'm doing a 'soft' parting of the ways. Meebo has become interested in some project here and get's involved with that while you guys go off to the next thing. If he shows back up, we'll just fold him in.
Jan 23, 2023 12:43 pm
I feel like I've asked this before but I couldn't find it so I'll ask again. Do we have info on the ship and it's upgrades. I'm happy to help improve it as well.

Also, are their restrictions as to sources we're buying from, rarity levels, or restricted status?
Jan 23, 2023 12:52 pm
I think Crazybird man keeps up with the ship. I believe he shared his character sheet, you may have to scroll back a bit to find it or maybe he'll share it again :)

If you pop out to IsoTech (the location you joined the game) they run a lot of blackmarket tech. If the rarity/restricted isn't too high, most things can be found. Othewise we can make some rolls and maybe it becomes it's own adventure.
Jan 23, 2023 12:56 pm
Great, found it. Let me throw together a 10,000 credit list lol.
Jan 25, 2023 5:47 am
Do did we each get 10,000 total. Or 10,000, plus the 5,000 she gave us earlier when we dropped off the ship?
Jan 25, 2023 12:44 pm
You each received 10,000, plus the 5,000 she gave you earlier.
Jan 26, 2023 2:45 am
Are we pre or post shopping in Ch. 8?
Jan 26, 2023 12:37 pm
XP - Doh! Yes sir, it's 10 each.

The shopping will be between Ch7 and Ch8 - We'll assume you took a week and popped off to a station for that.
Jan 27, 2023 12:18 am
Are we looking to add players or are we good with 3? I saw someone that just joined GP that might be interested in FFG Star Wars.
Jan 27, 2023 3:39 am
We can certainly be open to adding players. If you find someone, see if they are interested in an Edge of the Empire style game. Prerequisites are crime, killing stormtroopers and being a team player. :) I'll send an invite if you're interested in having them join.
Jan 27, 2023 3:58 am
Also, I was planning on keeping old players around as NPCs in case they might come back. Looks like Meebo removed himself from the game :( We've still got Pergano, so you'll always have a spare pilot around.
Feb 17, 2023 8:18 pm
I may not be able to post this weekend. Skip me or post as me if needed.
Apr 18, 2023 3:33 pm
This weekend I'll be gone for two weeks on vacation. I'll post if I can, but just power AD-hoc down, or the GM can play as him for a while.
Apr 19, 2023 11:54 am
Have fun, be safe :)
Apr 20, 2023 12:36 pm
Ken's very much an 'offence is the best form of defence' guy. Especially since another hit will take him down.
Apr 20, 2023 12:48 pm
That's respectable. Nox is in the same situation so I guess lets just send it.
Apr 20, 2023 12:51 pm
Go hard or go home. We're all in!
May 7, 2023 4:18 am
I'm back home, and back online. I'll catch up and ju.o in the IC thread when/where appropriate
May 12, 2023 7:21 pm
I literally laughed out loud at our two smuggler's "Nice and Casual" demeanors paired with their rolls.
May 12, 2023 8:18 pm
You can see them strolling down the boulevard, swaggering, knowing looks to one another, while all the passersby give them the side-eye and a crate marked 'illegal weapons' pokes out under the tarpaulin.
May 13, 2023 2:14 pm
Do we try to bribe security? Bluff customs? Give up? Or just push on and pretend AD-hoc doesn't hear them
May 26, 2023 11:47 am
Hey guys, We're popping off to Europe for a 10 day starting tomorrow. I'll have my phone for internet but it doesn't seem all that wise to start a new thread just as I'm going off on vacation. If it's cool with everyone, we'll pick it back up on June 8th.
May 26, 2023 2:24 pm
Oh wow, have fun!

Sounds good to me. I'm headed the opposite way for a two week vacation anyway.
May 28, 2023 10:51 pm
No problems. I'm on a short holiday. Also in Europe but since that's where I live already it's not so exciting.
Jun 19, 2023 9:33 pm
Interesting, how B I G are we thinking....
Jun 19, 2023 9:58 pm
Haha, theres only three of us. Also, how illegal are we thinking
Jun 19, 2023 10:57 pm
That's one for each letter of B-I-G! Still not giving up on outfitting a company or at least a secondary crew.
Jun 25, 2023 7:31 pm
How about taking it to the imperials? Lightly defended moon base?
Jun 25, 2023 7:51 pm
A little space -Robin-Hood? (We are poor right?)
Jun 26, 2023 11:28 am
I was getting the storm trooper heavy feel :)
@crazybirdman - You're actually doing pretty well on credits. But more is always better.
Jun 26, 2023 7:52 pm
Exactly - stormtroopers!
Jun 26, 2023 8:00 pm
Perhaps a specialty manufacturing facility or something of the like? If we're going to start running jobs against Imperial opposition then Nox wouldn't be against finding some good mandalorian armor. He's also keen on high intensity stuff like speeders and swoop bikes....maybe even pod racers.
Jun 27, 2023 11:56 am
Well then :) Let's be at it.
Jul 5, 2023 12:43 pm
I haven't disappeared, just busier around here than expected. Dancy pays you guys 10,000 credits for the 20 Blaster rifles and you have a couple weeks of chill time for upgrades and armor repair.
Jul 5, 2023 3:33 pm
Woohoo, lemme check my shopping list
Jul 5, 2023 4:54 pm
No worries Esidrix. Will do some shopping in the meantime.
Jul 6, 2023 8:20 pm
ok, I think this is everything AD-hoc thinks he needs:
Engineers hammer 350 credits, rarity 2 - to take down the Empire, one brick at a time
Cargo Scanner 300 credits rarity 4 - to make our bulk shopping trips easier

For the ship:
Advanced targeting array 4,000 credits, rarity 4- have to make sure the ship is safe, that's where I keep my stuff
Jul 6, 2023 9:26 pm
Ken would like to get his armoured clothing worked on - it's taken enough damage that it needs a complete overhaul. He's willing to spend the credits needed to get it done (5k for Superior Armour customisation). He also tops up his grenades (3 stun grenades, 1 frag grenade = 275cr total) and he tries to find a few armour piercing grenades if he can (rarity 6, price 100x3). He tops up his stimpacks (3x25cr). He searches around for a fusion cutter (rarity 2, 175cr) figuring that any lock he can't break a fusion cutter might help him to just burn on through.
Jul 6, 2023 10:42 pm
we have 2 hard point's left on the ship. If anyone has any ideas for 'em, let us know.
Jul 6, 2023 10:45 pm
Do we need to upgrade the guns?
Jul 7, 2023 12:09 am
🤔 I'm not sure what the legal limit is for a ship our size
Jul 7, 2023 11:46 am
@crazybirdman, I think we're a little past legal limits... Otherwise, the gear list looks good.

@Ken, all sounds reasonable, at this point your hanging out at a covert base running guns and illegal tech. Shouldn't be more than a minor inconvenience to fill out your list.
Jul 7, 2023 5:36 pm
To clarify, that is 10,000 split between us correct?
Jul 9, 2023 6:40 pm
I don't think Nox has any expenditures this time. I'm ready to go.
Jul 9, 2023 7:16 pm
Oh, I should also buy the parts to mod the targeting array to have another upgrade , and try to install it.
OOC:
well, so much for that plan

@crazybirdman - What's the thoughts on the Comm Jammer?
Jul 28, 2023 3:40 pm
was thinking that our job would be easier the pirates/freedon fighters, and the empire couldn't talk to themselves or each other.
I usually overthink things thought. But like, what if the Dreadnaught captain just gives up and surrenders immediately? We can't have that.
Jul 28, 2023 8:07 pm
No, we certainly can't have that. :)

No worries. :) Everyone have fun?
Sep 17, 2023 1:03 am
I have no idea what to do with the advantage. I narratively like the idea that he definitely failed to sabotage either blaster. But i can't think of something positive that is also good for the story
Sep 18, 2023 11:26 am
I think we can say with that much Advantage, the blasters don't appear to have been tampered with. Even though the Tampering itself wasn't successful. :(
Sep 18, 2023 4:41 pm
lol, Thats fair, since i don't think they would belive AD-hoc if he said everything was like that when he found it.
Sep 27, 2023 3:52 pm
OOC:
can I roll to see if AD-hoc knows a faster way to the engines? One that will ideally avoid any potential freedom fighters
Sep 27, 2023 7:58 pm
Totally! Considering that you guys asked for ship plans at the beginning. Make an average Mechanics to find a better path.

Happy Thanksgiving and absolutely. I apologize. Making edits to posts doesn't mark the thread as having an unread post. I've be waiting on Nox's rolls, which he seems to have made some time ago.

I've lost a couple players in my game too. Is . . is Star Wars not popular?
Jan 12, 2024 8:24 pm
I'm not sure. I mean, we started this 2 years ago and you two are the only original players. We've gone through like 9 people. Some left GP and didn't come back, some ghosted for a month and came back and didn't say anything, they just left the game. It's a little weird.
Jan 13, 2024 8:20 pm
People are weird. I reckon it's easy to sign up for a Star Wars game but then you might not have quite realised the style of play - the genre covers quite a wide range of approaches. I enjoy it anyway!
Jan 19, 2024 2:06 am
So I haven't been on GP in a few years after I had a baby (I have two now) but seeing Pergano living on is great. :)
Jan 19, 2024 2:20 am

How ya been? Are you enjoying all the unsolicited advice people give new parents?

That was my 2nd when I left so just the weird failing be cause you think you know it already this time haha

@valdattaMadun - You are welcome back if your interested. We just lost someone in December and were discussing what to do. :)
Jan 25, 2024 3:30 pm
Ok - So do we open recruitment, advertise directly to peeps we know. etc?
Jan 25, 2024 5:58 pm
is it possible to search for profiles that say they are interested in FFG Star Wars?

I suppose you could ask on Discord also
Jan 25, 2024 10:24 pm
I'd open up general recruitment but pick based on reputation. Beggars can't be choosers...
Jan 25, 2024 11:03 pm

I'm with Mephistophilis on that. I love the force as part of Star Wars, but I like playing the 'down to earth' space opera swashbuckling games.
Jan 26, 2024 9:37 pm
I don't mind the occasional force user, I'm thinking Luke in Episode 4, not an army of space wizards.
Jan 31, 2024 2:55 pm
Hey, folks! Excited to be playing some Star Wars. I've GMed quite a bit, and I understand the pain of players ghosting. I'm always down for a fun scoundrely adventure.

I'm thinking of playing a guy who was raised as a Mandalorian and became the Mandalore, but had to back down when he found out his father was a Sith Lord. So he killed his father and became the new Sith Leader. But then he had to abandon that post because he wanted to turn to the Light Side. So no he's a Jedi Knight trying to stop Vader.

Kidding. I kid.

I'm actually thinking of playing a lawyer type. Depending on the vibe of the game, he's either a guy who finds the Truth and gets the wrongly accused off (think Matlock), or he's the guy who makes the illegal stuff we're doing not seem illegal (think Saul Goodman).

Something like that gel with the group dynamic? What direction would y'all think would fit better?

The way this game works, I don't think anyone is a burden. We're all just here to tell cool stories and have fun. And Esidrix is an excellent GM
Feb 1, 2024 6:54 am
We've mostly been flying about stealing stuff and selling it on. With connections to what I guess is organised crime. But our last mission involved helping some pirates capture an old imperial ship, and secretly preventing the working ship falling into their hands - so we're getting slightly more ethical.

Character wise, Ken is a wanna be who seems to have accidentally found his way to the big league. He's a smuggler, better with the guns than the criminal side of things, moderately effective charmer, and expert mixologist.
Last edited February 1, 2024 6:54 am
Feb 1, 2024 1:20 pm
Welcome both. @SavageBob - I'm curious how the lawyer type would work, feels like I'd have to work a little harder on the stories (not a complaint :) ).

@ChrSch - Character creation is super simple - but you kind of need a guide. If you don't have access to any of the game books, you can try

Character Creation guide.
Feb 1, 2024 2:12 pm
Woohoo!

Nah, don't worry too much. The lawyer is basically a face character. Probably starting as either Colonist: Politico or Smuggler: Charmer. @Mephistophilis - Does Ken have the Charmer spec? I don't want to step on toes if that's his schtick.

The other way to take the idea would be to make him a Colonist: Entrepreneur. His focus is on making all the under-the-table sales look legit. That angle is only fun if the game relies a lot on credit-counting, though, so y'all would need to tell me if that's the case.

Just so we know what we're working with, @Esidrix - how much XP should we be working with? Are we starting at "new," or do we have some XP to work with to be on par with the rest of the party? And can we take the extra XP for extra Obligation option for character creation?
Last edited February 1, 2024 2:13 pm
Feb 1, 2024 3:28 pm
Ken's a Scoundrel. I think you can see his sheet from his profile. A little bit of Charm but it's far from his specialist area.
Feb 1, 2024 10:38 pm
Okay, I'll be reading that. Should I run the creation process in here or should I finish the character and then run it by you?
Feb 2, 2024 12:21 am
I've never used Oggdudes character generator, but I hear good things about it.

@ChrSCh - You can run though it on your own. Feel free to ask questions. There's very little 'random' to it, you make choices and trade offs.

I've used Oggdude creator several times, but it makes more sense if you already understand how to make a character.
Feb 2, 2024 3:19 am
XP question, You can take extra obligation for starting XP and you guys go ahead and start with an additional 50xp. That's roughly half what the characters have earned so far.
Feb 2, 2024 3:31 am
Gotcha! Normal starting credits?

Any restrictions on Careers or Specs? (Obviously, no Jedi Knights or whatever. I'm more curious about Age of Rebellion specs and Universal specs.)
Feb 2, 2024 3:39 am
No real restrictions. We're trying to keep it between Hope and Empire and out on the fringe. But there are 'behind the scenes' connections to the underworld and the rebellion. AoR would fit in just fine.
Feb 2, 2024 1:19 pm
May I ask... Is there a specific type of character missing at the moment?
If the question is too much meta-gaming, let me know and disregard.
Feb 2, 2024 3:38 pm
My character is a droid outlaw tech. With a scoundrel and a lawyer, that leaves plenty of character types left.
Feb 3, 2024 5:41 am
What kind of restrictions am I looking at in regard of race?
I saw in the character creator sent by crazybirdman that you could take a Kyuzo for example, in the guide you have sent @Esidrix they are not available.
Should I stick to the races in the guide?
Feb 4, 2024 4:54 pm
@chrsch - It's probably 'safer' to stick to the core races. But I'm sure if it's in Oggdudes then it's pulled from a source book. The Kyuzo are probably balanced for play, so if that caught your interest, go for it.
Feb 4, 2024 5:44 pm
My PC's almost ready. I'm reskinning a published species—using the stats for Pantoran to represent a Lutrillian. Hope that's OK. Going with a Colonist: Entrepreneur for career and spec.

@Esirix - What are we looking at for starting credits? My character's a face and doesn't need much in the way of armor or weapons, but I'm just wondering about what colonist and/or diplomat gear he might be able to afford for now.

Might be better if I follow your recommendation since it's my first rodeo.
Do I use the template from the drop down list in the character creation section?

@ChrSch - If I'm understanding your question, Yes, grab one of the Species templates from the Species list. It might help if you pick up a Character Sheet to print and use as reference while your creating the character.

Character Sheets The Edge of the Empire sheet would be the official one.

@SavageBob - go with starting credits + 5K. If you need something more expensive, let me know and we'll talk.
Feb 5, 2024 2:38 pm
Oh, that is actually a good idea. But I was thinking about for creation on the character on the platform.
Do I use this one: .... Well, I wanted to add a screenshot, but I'm not sure how to add it :/

I meant on the my characters page>new character>system>Star Wars FFG?
Feb 5, 2024 3:03 pm
Right, Yes that's the sheet to use for Gamers Plane.
Feb 5, 2024 3:50 pm
Question about obligations: in the guide the obligation is recommended depending on party size. I think we are 6 now?
The guide mentions 5... does that mean I should choose 5 obligations?
Feb 6, 2024 8:24 am
Where should I put all this information:

• Wound Threshold: 9 + Brawn
• Strain Threshold: 9 + Willpower
• Starting Experience: 95 XP
• Special Abilities: Clawdites begin the game with one rank in Resilience. They still may not train Resilience above rank 2 during character creation.
• Changeling: As an action, a Clawdite may suffer 3 strain and make an Average () Resilience check. If the Clawdite succeeds, they change their appearance to match that of a silhouette 1 character whom they have observed before.
An observing character must make opposed Perception vs Deception check to detect that something is amiss with the impersonated character's likeness, mannerisms, or behavior. As always, the GM can add or for situational effects that might affect the check, such as if the Clawdite's garb does not match expectations or if the Clawdite has studied the impersonated individual's mannerisms closely.

Feb 6, 2024 1:06 pm
If you chose the 'Star Wars FFG' character sheet, the wounds and strain should be in the upper right, XP you can spend on skills and the notes in the 'Notes' box near the bottom.
Feb 6, 2024 1:50 pm
Okay, got it. Can you explain what exactly I do with the obligations?
And I guess Motivations work the same way?

My PC's more or less done. I still need to spell out his Obligation, so I'll do that tomorrow. Here's the skinny on him:

https://i.imgur.com/z3bVwAA.jpeg

Burlock Mocredo made his name selling city-sized ground vehicles on his native Lutrillia. Driven by ambition and greed, the Lutrillian studied law in the Core and got hired at Kuat Drive Yards (KDY). Mocredo thrived in the high-stakes world of corporate law, earning the nickname "Creds" for identifying promising startups and acquiring them before they could pose a threat to KDY’s dominance.

But the Republic fell, and Creds saw anti-alien sentiment sweep KDY’s executive board. The corporation eventually fired all alien personnel in non-labor positions. Creds sued. He filed a class-action lawsuit, demanding severance pay—and won.

Sitting on a lucrative settlement but otherwise unemployed, Creds faced a crossroads. His tenaciousness and desire for recognition led him to the one group still willing to work with alien lawyers: the criminal underworld. Creds now leverages his legal acumen by making illicit activities appear legitimate under Imperial law.
Feb 7, 2024 4:51 am
That's a Disney+ show I would watch 😃
Feb 7, 2024 1:43 pm
No kidding :) Better Comm Creds

@ChrSch - Obligation is some thing you 'owe' to someone else from Before your character started playing - It's a story/background piece that the Game Master can throw at you from time to time. At the base level (10), you don't gain anything for character creation and you can 'buy' it off later. If you feel the need for extra starting money or extra skill points, you can take more starting Obligation.
Feb 7, 2024 3:51 pm
So an obligation of 10 basically doesn't have any benefits for me at creation, but if I were to have an obligation of 15 I'd get XP or credits from it?

Do I define what exactly it is or do I just write in "Bounty with a value of 15" and the gm gets to decide what exactly it is?
Feb 8, 2024 1:16 pm
You can be as specific or as vague as you like. If you have something that you really feel goes with your character, spell it out. Or you can just write in "Bounty with a value of 15" and at some point I'll toss a Bounty Hunter or two at you and we'll see how it goes. :)
Feb 11, 2024 8:10 am
How much XP needs to be spent to increase characteristics?

And I guess I'm using XP to buy talents and skills as well?
Feb 12, 2024 1:34 pm
You start with 100xp (some species change this by +/- 10 for special ablities). Plus I gave you guys 50 more so your not so far behind the long time players.
Feb 12, 2024 2:35 pm
How many XP would I have to pay to get... Let's say willpower +1 for example?
Feb 12, 2024 4:14 pm
Hey, @ChrSch - the cost is 10 x the level the stat would now be. So, for instance, to go from Willpower 1 to Willpower 2 costs 20 XP (10x2). To bump it up to 3, you'd pay an additional 30 XP (10x3). You pay for each +1 increase, so going from Willpower 1 to Willpower 3 costs 20 XP + 30 XP = 50 XP.

Unless Esidrix is using house rules, you can't use the +50 bonus XP he's giving us to raise stats, as those are only raisable during character creation (or with the Dedication talent at the bottom of most talent trees).

Going to upgrade Ken at bit with his new XP.
- Underworld 1 - 5XP
- Ranged Light 2 - 10XP
- Side Step 2 - 20XP

Do you think Ken would be able to get himself a thermal detonator? Seems like the sort of thing he'd like, I'm sure he wouldn't do anything silly with it...
Feb 19, 2024 3:45 am
@Mephistophilis - Oh I agree, I'm pretty sure that the thermal detonator that Ken found in the salvaged gear would be put to a responsible and totally not silly use...
Feb 19, 2024 6:50 am
Probably a paperweight, or a doorstop or something
Feb 19, 2024 2:35 pm
Channeling Creds: "Now, inspector, you realize that thermal detonators are completely legal with the proper permits—which, I assure you, my colleague here was sure to secure. If it was indeed his detonator that went off—and that's a big if—the fault lies with the manufacturer, not with the user, as I'm sure you can agree..."

@crazybirdman - That's wouldn't be any trouble for them to do here. Most any reasonable item, illegal or not should be easy enough to pick up.

I just realized... I'm rather equipment less. Was there a step in character creation to get my hands on some equipment? 🤔😅
Feb 23, 2024 5:11 am

It's at the end of the creation process. Starting characters get 500cr and I gave you guys another 1000cr to get your feet under you.

Ah, I missed that then, can I still adjust that?

Yes, that list contains items from several books. Anything with an (R) next to the price is generally illegal. I'd steer away from that stuff for initial purchases.

@chrsch - all good, thanks for the heads up.
Mar 22, 2024 1:21 pm
When's a good time for Creds (and anyone who wants to) to break off and do some disinformation? He's only YGG in Deception, but there are always Destiny Points.

By the way, how do we handle Destiny Points?
Mar 24, 2024 3:39 pm
@Savagebob - Anytime you want to 'strike out' on your own. Just call out. :) Ahh Destiny Points. I rolled them once back in 2021 and then promptly forget that they exist. There is a Destiny Points thread if everyone wants to roll, or we can use the count that's there.
May 9, 2024 7:39 pm
Wracking my brain, but I can't think of any way to sway the auction other than the already-existing threat that the Yiyars will get violent, and the others' attempts to spread false rumors about the crates. :/

I thought of maybe trying to trick some of the rival firms into inadvertently colluding—suggesting they all hire some muscle, and give them Zailor's contact. Then when they all realize they've all hired the same guy, they get thrown out for collusion. But that's the best I've got!
May 9, 2024 8:21 pm
That's pretty good! Get them to collude then turn them in for colluding.

We could also try to turn the Yiyar against some of the potential high bidders. Play against their pride/honor.

and let's not forgot our actual goal, get a few specific crates for as cheap as possible.
May 16, 2024 3:04 pm
Having slept on it, I wonder if I might alter the plan a bit (which would entail a slight retcon): Rather than having all these guys hire the same muscle (and thus inadvertently collude), could the Deception be for Creds to convince then to pack heat? I'm just trying to streamline things - so many steps to get them all to hire the same guy (and not sure if @ChrSch is on board with the plan). Convincing folks they need to be armed to face the Yiyar might be better.
May 16, 2024 3:37 pm
would the goal be for a fight to break out and our competition takes each other out? or to get them removed from the auction for packing heat?
May 16, 2024 5:02 pm
I'm down for either of the plans
May 16, 2024 7:03 pm
crazybirdman says:

The latter -- Creds drops an anonymous tip to the local police that a lot of folks are violating Lianna's strict no-weapons laws. But a firefight breaking out would also be good cover for us to abscond with the goods as a backup scenario.
May 16, 2024 7:59 pm
Sounds good to me if it's ok with the GM
May 17, 2024 12:45 pm
I think the 'pack heat' plan is interesting. The not so subtle threat from the Yiyars would give you a pretty solid place to build from.
May 17, 2024 4:10 pm
Esidrix says:

Right-o. So maybe we 1) do a re-roll, assuming multiple representatives are present and Creds is trying to convince the room (thus a higher difficulty than what I rolled), or 2) montage a few rolls of Creds sharing drinks over the next few hours with a other bidding reps, doing a series of rolls to convince each individually.

We could theoretically RP all the different encounters out, but I'm trying to not bog the game down with his machinations. :)
May 17, 2024 4:51 pm
either way, AD-hoc can assist, by spreading rumors. That should at least give you a boost die
May 20, 2024 12:41 pm
The montage sounds like fun, almost a like Face working the room. Buying a drink here, next shot, laughing with a couple folks, then whispering in someone's ear, etc. I agree it could get lengthy, if you want to do a description of what it looks like with 3 Average rolls that should get us a feel for how it's going. Take AD-hoc's blue die for the assist :)

FYI -- I'm flying home today, a process that will take more than 24 hours with layovers and everything. I may not be able to post for a couple of days. Please feel free to have Creds cower until the threat has passed, at which point, he intends to press charges!
Jul 2, 2024 2:28 am
Is the auction first thing in the morning? Creds would like to buy a custom scarf for the occasion, so (pending GM approval), he'll do that in the morning.

I'm hoping he can spend some of his "Sound Investments" credits on custom scarves or ascots from time to time. They would function like Lando's capes from the Gadgets and Gear book (p. 133)—essentially granting certain social bonuses in specific circumstances. That book recommends that custom capes (for Creds, scarves) have Encumbrance 1, Rarity 6, and start at 900 credits. GM can always say they cost more, of course. So, something like:

Hand-woven Lutrillian auctioneer's scarf (Rarity 6, 900 credits; the wearer may add +1 Success +1 Advantage to any Negotiation check they make versus multiple opponents).

Esidrix says:
Drinks are served and Ken scrolls through the scanner data. Whatever 'parameters' Reom had set seem to have detected something in crates 2, 9, 14, and 18. Fourteen had the highest reading of the 4.
Looks like we can pass on this crate, unless we want to place a fake bid.

How do you want to run this, Esidrix? A series of Negotiation checks, one per crate we're interested in?
Jul 15, 2024 8:58 pm
Do we know what the potential profit is? Because I'd like Ken to make a fake bid for the first one and seem to get carried away in a bidding war. The idea is to reinforce that he doesn't know which is which (to people in the know) or that maybe this one if valuable (to those not in the know) and also that he has a tendency to impulsivity and overbidding. But I also don't want to blow all our profit!
Jul 16, 2024 1:23 pm
On the upside your 'bidding' with Lianna Limited Inc.'s credits, since your there as company representatives. I was assuming that we'd run it as a scene with one or maybe two rolls. My feeling was you'd run it with as much subterfuge as you could, bidding crazy on some crates and quitting suddenly, slow bidding on others and jumping in at the last to confuse the other buyers of the ones you wanted. I'd expect you'd try and buy at least 6-8 of the crates to further conceal your specific interest.

This feels like somewhere between deception and gambling. Also, it seems I quite luckily split the containers up into four groups. Each 5 crates (1-5, 6-10, etc.) contain 1 of the target crates. Let me know what brings in the best dice pool with someone making assists or helps or if you want to seem like your 'arguing' about which crates to buy. We'll throw some dice and then narrate the scene :)
Jul 16, 2024 3:14 pm
I think AD-hoc will try and help by make oddly specific opening bids. (13 credits,m 12,472 credits etc.) Hoping people will think he knows what he's talking about because he is a droid.

No crates are being opened at the auction correct?
Jul 16, 2024 4:39 pm
Yeah, the series of a few rolls makes sense rather than a crate-by-crate play-by-play. It sounds like Deception to bid up the "bad" crates and either Cool or Negotiation to bid on the desired ones without tipping our hand. Maybe alternative checks of each? Creds is better at Negotiation than Cool, but if anyone in the party has 2 ranks or Cool or more, that's skilled assistance and will be just as good as his Negotiation. (His scarf currently is aimed at boosting Negotiation, but if we go with Cool, I'll just swap that out.)
Last edited July 16, 2024 4:40 pm
Jul 16, 2024 7:17 pm
Ken's got a straight YGG across Cool, Deception, and Negotiation so he's okay but not stellar. He'll probably focus on the more silly and deceptive bids to distract from what Creds is doing.
Jul 16, 2024 8:59 pm
@crazybirdman, correct, no crates opened at the auction. So it'll be like Life Day opening presents once you get back to the Shipping office.

Doesn't seem to be a fair way to get around lots of dice rolling. This might be faster at the table, you guys good for coming over tomorrow? :P

Ok, so this sounds like some work, but I think with the dice roller it should go smoothly.

@mephistophillis - Have Ken make 4 Deception rolls against 1 Red, 2 purple. Since this is an extended 'Scene' if you succeed on a roll, your successes give Creds an UPGRADE to one of his dice for that rounds roll. No success will UPGRADE Cred's Difficulty. Pass your advantages onto yourself for the next roll.

@SavageBob - Make 4 Negotiation rolls against 2 Red and 1 Purple add a Boost from AD-hoc for his distractions and then either an Upgrade to your dice or the difficulty dice based on Ken's rolls for each of the 4 rounds.

If Creds has a simple success, it means you got the target crate. Lots of success means you purchased extra crates or got a great price or possibly both.

Failure on a round means you didn't get the target crate, but may have gotten others and lots of failure may mean you paid extra for the unwanted crate(s).

I know that's four single rolls, followed by adjusting based on results, but I think Ken can do all of his and then Creds follows up. Hopefully it doesn't turn into to much work. Let's say we're working with a Force pool of 3 light and 2 dark.
Jul 16, 2024 9:59 pm
I'll start rolling. Will leave Force Pool for Creds but remember crate 14 is best!

Sep 4, 2024 3:44 pm
Creds is keen to continue on with this crew if they'll have him. I'm probably going to bump up a couple of skills: Deception and Streetwise. But it's always tempting to go further down the talent tree, taking the Know Somebody talent in this case.

Ken's picked up Quick Strike 2 and he's holding the rest of his XP. How would people feel about a more overt bit of larceny? Get in somewhere, steal something. Even get paid by the rebels to sabotage something? We could give them a discount but nothing's free...
Sep 4, 2024 9:49 pm
Hmm, 20k credits. How does Ken go about finding a personal stealth field?
Sep 5, 2024 2:19 am
Creds can shop for people if it's legit gear. With two ranks in Streetwise, he can also shop for illicit stuff.
Sep 5, 2024 2:21 am
As for outright larceny - I'm game. Creds would go full Saul Goodman and help us launder the money.
Sep 5, 2024 12:18 pm
@Mephistophilis IsoTech is a seemingly legitimate front company used to cover for Reom’s black-market tech operations. I would offer that you are in the right place to pose that question.
Sep 6, 2024 9:11 pm
I'll need a bit to look into point spending and such but I'm pretty busy with work at the moment so if it's alright I'll look into it over the next week or so while the game continues?
Sep 7, 2024 2:30 pm
@ChrSch - No worries, you can always keep them for later.
Sep 7, 2024 8:44 pm
Ken can't think of anything more exciting than a stealth field. He's going to approach Isotech to see if they've got any jobs that might need one and therefore which Isotech would be motovated to supply Ken a stealth field for. As part payment say.

Otherwise it'd probably be a jetpack and we know that wouldn't end well.

AD-hoc may look into a personal deflector shield. Doesn't need it right away though.
Sep 19, 2024 9:10 pm
So, Creds does have some purchases he'd like to make. The Entrepreneur really works with the Rarity rules. I earlier made the assumption that Lianna had a Rarity modifier of +1 (-1 for on a primary trade lane, +0 for civilized world, +2 for Outer Rim world).

Would this ship be something like +3 (-1 for on a trade lane (as it travels on them), +0 for civilized, and perhaps +4 for being a ship with limited stores)?

If it's OK, I'd like to say Creds bought some stuff before we left Lianna if these numbers are correct. Stopping at a well-traveled world just to buy a sidearm and some armor inserts probably wouldn't be economical, due to docking fees and the like, unless this ship was planning to stop anyway.

(Not trying to rules lawyer this, but the Entrepreneur is really geared toward this aspect of the game. :))
Sep 20, 2024 2:55 am
OOC:
Toss in 'Illegal Tech manufacturer -2' and 'recently supplied -1' . Behind the scenes, the 15K Ken and Ad-hoc received was for several crates of weapons and recently liberated Imperial tech. So the Ships stores are a little flush at the moment.
Sep 20, 2024 8:22 am
Is there anywhere with a specific list of items that can be purchased or should I just browse the list from the site I used for character creation?

I'm guessing encumbrance is 'bad' and encumbrance threshold is 'good'?

And looking at armors, when it states environment -1, how should I interpret that?
Last edited September 24, 2024 8:29 am

Yeah, but remember for armor, if you are wearing it, its Encumbrance is -3

My guess is that you can remove one black die ( setback die) due to environmental conditions. But if you lemme know what item you say it on, I can check the book for sure.

Oct 2, 2024 7:30 pm
Welcome back, ChrSch! I hope things have settled down for you at home.

Is there anything gear-wise we can help you pick out? Are you looking for a better blaster? Some armor? Something else?

Creds can shop for you (or anyone else).
Oct 6, 2024 8:44 pm
Thanks, yeah things have calmed down.

I was looking to improve or add to my weaponary. As I currently only have a Blaster carbine and trying to see about investing for better armor, where I was thinking to get the reinforced environment gear.
Oct 7, 2024 3:15 pm
The environment gear is basically what they wore on Hoth -- if all you want is some extra protection, you might look at Armored Clothing, Laminate Armor or Padded Armor. As with any heavy armor, you have to weigh the benefit of extra protection with the fact that you'll likely freak most people out.

You might look at this list and pick something that offers both Defense and Soak. Most of these have a narrative side-effect, as well.
Oct 8, 2024 4:24 pm
Ah, looking at the list, I think I will invest in some armored clothing then. We're not planning on going to hoth as far as I know :)
Oct 8, 2024 5:24 pm
Creds goes shopping. Looks like he finds you some Armored Clothing for 20% off list price (so 800 credits).

The other thing to worry about with gear is the number of Hard Points. These are customization points that let you add Attachments. You may choose to upgrade to an armor with more Hard Points down the road, but Armored Clothing should be just fine for now.

How are you on a sidearm?

Ha, good point. I don't have one.
Any recommendations?

And thank you for the shopping trip

What kind of blaster does Zailor want? Probably a heavy blaster pistol (the most dangerous type you can use Ranged (Light) for)? Or are you optimized for Ranged (Heavy) (rifles)? From a lore perspective, the heavy blaster pistol will turn fewer heads than carrying a rifle around will. You might want a holdout blaster, too, for times you want to hide a sidearm when we're on a planet like the last one we went to.
Oct 28, 2024 6:26 am
I'm skilled for heavy.
So just a holdout blaster to complement my rifle?
Oct 28, 2024 5:49 pm
Ah, OK. A couple of suggestions, then:

The DR-45 "Dragoon" Cavalry Blaster: Converts from a carbine rifle to a hand blaster with a maneuver. Might be useful if you want to open carry, but not freak people out as much as a rifle would. If fish hit the shan, you convert it to a rifle and pew pew.

For a holdout, I'd suggest either the Military Holdout Blaster or the Boonta Blaster. The Boonta's rarer (so harder for Creds to find), but better in that it has a Hard Point (customization option), and it is a bejeweled blaster that you can try to pass off as ornamental (the bonus to Deception checks if it's found). If you want to spend the cash, Creds can look for the Boonta and, if his roll fails, move on to the Military Holdout as a backup.

You might also want a Concealment Holster to make it even tougher for someone to find your holdout blaster on you.

Let me know what you think. Creds likes to shop.

Damn, so many options.
I didn't expect so much... Depth to the weapons.

Since that is the case, aside from dr-45 which if I understood that right can be changed from one to the other...
How are the mechanics for switching from rifle to a sidearm during combat?
I'd assume there would be differences in effective range or something?

LOL. Yeah, this is a mid-crunch game compared to D&D, but they definitely made a lot of hay out of splatbooks with new gear. :)

So, as far as I can tell, the Dragoon is the same stats either way. The only change is whether you use Ranged (Light) or Ranged (Heavy) to shoot it. Losing one maneuver to switch between the two is not a huge deal, but it does mean you can't spend that maneuver moving, aiming, etc. (But you presumably would only need to do this once, and it assumes you didn't prepare for the combat ahead of time.) There are otherwise the potential social ramifications that I alluded to (if Esidrix is enforcing such things). It's also important to note that the Dragoon only fires out to Medium range, so a dedicated rifle is better if you want to be able to shoot out to Long. So I guess that's the sacrifice you make for the versatility.

Depending on where things go, there's always options for 'no weapons/pistols only/knives only/anything goes'.
Oct 31, 2024 5:15 pm
Alright.
So I have a rifle.
So if available I'd get the boonta blaster and a concealment holster.
If you can't find it, it will be the military holdout blaster

Looks like Creds found the holster for 15% off (30 credits total).

He nearly tracked down a Boonta Blaster, but it had just sold to someone else. (Complete wash on that roll.)

He did find the Military Holdout Blaster, for 10% off (450 credits total).

2 Threat remaining for Esidrix to spend!
Nov 1, 2024 1:35 pm
:D We like threat.
Nov 2, 2024 12:02 am
Coolio, thanks.
So out of curiosity, threats are like disadvantages the gm can throw at us at some point, right?
Nov 23, 2024 11:07 pm
I thought the plan was to trade the spice for the tech or whatever it is we came here to get. Then if they dont want it in trade,sell it?
Nov 24, 2024 9:38 am
I was thinking we'd use the spice as a bargaining chip. Probably depends on who can tell us about the tech and where to find it.
Nov 24, 2024 6:44 pm
My understanding was the spice was to be liquidated for cash, then use that to get at the tech. Easier to bargain for tech with cash than with spice, I think. But if y'all want to run it the other way, that's possible. Creds just can't help with the negotiations (for RP reasons, but also because that's Streetwise rather than Negotiation).
Nov 24, 2024 7:30 pm
Let's get the lay of the land then we can make a plan
Dec 24, 2024 11:04 am
I wanted to apologize for my absence over the last week. I've been tending to a sick spouse. I hope to be able to post again soon, but it'll likely be intermittent until after Christmas.

Please feel free to have my character act as you need to keep things moving. Happy Holidays, everyone.
Dec 24, 2024 2:42 pm
Happy Holiday and no worries, I imagine everyone's schedule is off at the moment.
Mar 26, 2025 3:00 am
Bleh. I've had a health scare that has put me in more tests than I would like. Sorry for the lack of posting. More tests coming, too, so my schedule doesn't look much better until the weekend.

Creds would like to buy some survival gear and a new scarf, but I'm unable to find the time to look through the massive gear list right now. Would it work that we advance to the ship, and we buy retroactively? Sorry again.

Take care of yourself sir. Providing you don't buy a 'scarf of protecting me from that last GM trap' the moment it gets sprung. I'm sure the retroactive buying will work.
Apr 1, 2025 7:39 pm
Looking for a Scout's Neckerchief (basically a Boy Scout scarf: Always be prepared!): Once per encounter when making a check in an unsettled area, the wearer may remove a despair result of a roll and add two threat results instead.

Rarity 6, 900 credits base per Lando's capes.

I'm guessing this place is about Rarity +3 as a Frontier World? Boosts for the Mecantiler's Datapad, and assistance from a fellow PC! +1 advantage for the Cultural Etiquette Manual.

Ah, well. Unless I miffed the Rarity, that means Creds doesn't find the Scout's Neckerchief.

I'll be traveling for the next two weeks, not sure what my internet access/time will be like. Please don't wait if something is needed from AD-hoc, Esidrix can play on my behalf. Please don't let Ken get him shot (I fear it may be AD-hoc's turn) 😂
Apr 15, 2025 1:58 pm
Will do. Safe travels.

Hey y'all. I'm back. Thanks for covering for me! I'll jump back in when appropriate
