Star ORE
I was going to do a fancy faux title crawl, but that would undermine the way I'm planning to run this game. So, dry, out-of-character introduction it is.
Hello, all. This is a game using StarORE, a microgame using the One Roll Engine, set in the Star Wars universe.
Haven't heard of it? Reasonable. It's old, and also tiny — at a mere 14 pages. I did say microgame. But it is also free, and you can check out its PDF o'er here.
So what is this, then? Well, obviously, I am running a game of StarORE. It will be play-by-post, and hosted entirely on Myth Weavers.
The game is set in-between the fall of the Old Republic and the start of the first movie, a time of tumult, tyranny, and also bold, go-getting heroism. The specifics of time, place, and story will be determined by what you, my prospective players, are interested in. A story of jedi apprentices dodging the Empire's extermination squads? Stormtroopers shaking off their conditioning to break free of the Empire and make their own path in life? A smuggler crew making ends meet at the edge of known space? It's all possible.
I'm hoping for a group of between 3 and 5 players, and aim to retain a steady posting rate. At least a couple posts per week, more (but smaller) when we're in combat.
When making your character (which you can do over here) I want you to pitch me who you want to play and what story you want them to be a part of. Is your idea only a slice of a wider story, or worthy of the main plot? Would you rather ride along on someone else's adventure? Regardless, that will just be the seed. I'm sure once we get going all kinds of craziness will happen.
If you have questions, you can ask them over here.
This'll be my first time running a game on the new site. Apologies if I do not know how everything works, I'm doing my best.
