OOC and General Game Discussion...

I'm putting this thread here because I enjoy talking about game play, rules-and-shit, and other things, but I don't like that stuff in my actual gaming thread. So I stole something that MaitlandJones said OOC in the game thread and moved it here...
I never need you to apologize for being new to the game. I've only played this game three times in my life, but I'm old and I've been gaming in general since 1977-78, so picking up new rules is easy for me.

All you really need to concern yourself with, as far as I'm concerned, is that you get to know who Pon is and you share him with us in the game... So far, you're doing an excellent job at that from what I see.

If you have any questions, I stand ready help in any way that turns you on.

Alastor04, I submitted a character sheet matching the one you provided for Dao Jodh with his profile pic if you wouldn't mind accepting it :)

sure

Question: how much do our characters know about the force? If this Cerean is talking about "the Dark Side" of the Force, does that mean anything to us?

I would assume Hethan Romund passed on a basic history of Force users to you guys so you would likely know Light Side, Dark Side, Jedi and Sith and that there are other Force Traditions. This knowledge would be more of the academic variety as far as experiencing the Force you know which ever Force power your character starts with but little else.

Cool, sounds good

Cool

Regarding that roll, my RL gaming group has homebrewed that a complete wash with a triumph counts as a success. Basically the "success" part of the triumph cancels out the failure, then you use the triumph as an extra success.

Right the triumph does cancel the failure even with rules as written. So Im just letting you succeed.

What would Star Wars be if heroes didn't continually do stupid things that seemed to work out just fine...

I mean, really...

That is one benefit of this system is crazier ideas can get a lucky roll and good ideas can turn the situation to utter chaos.

Also, are we using destiny points? Or are they not part of the beginner adventures?

We will roll for them in a bit. The beginner game slowly adds ideas. Next is

Cool, no worries!

After this game we I may try to run Chronicles of the Gatekeeper if you guys are interested.

Sounds fun... with these characters, or will we get to build our own?

Either way I am definitely interested in continuing on!

You will get to build your own.

Did i do something wrong with my avatar?

Everyone has one but me...

lol, did you submit a character sheet with an avatar uploaded?
