   Star Wars: The Old Republic

   
   

   Theme and Flavor

   Space opera, with a large emphasis on exploration and investigation.

   
   

   The Hook

   

   
   The Republic, the symbol and bastion of democracy in the galaxy, is failing. Darth Malak has taken over the Sith Empire, and his first - and to date the most lethal - act was to destroy the ecumenopolis of Taris. A once-wealthy planet, thriving in business and situated on a major hyperspace transport hub, it now lies in ruin, a fallen wasteland left as a reminder of the power of the Sith and their lust to destroy any who oppose them, especially the Jedi. And as they have shown, the Sith will do anything - ANYTHING - to make the Jedi pay for whatever wrong the Sith feel have been inflicted upon them. The Dark Side of the Force is very powerful, and corrupting, indeed.
   
   But the Sith aren't the only enemy of the Republic. The Jedi are at war with themselves, still reeling over the defections of Malak and Revan, and the Republic army they commanded. Revan has been struck down and recaptured, but Malak's escape and eventual overtaking of Taris has left yet another deep scar on the once-proud galactic peacekeepers. The Jedi are lost, directionless, and trying to find any foothold to reclaim not only the galaxy, but their former glory.
   
   The citizens of the galaxy are in fear for their very lives, whispers abounding about their own planets next in line for destruction. The Jedi it is said are powerless to stop the Sith Empire; if they can allow Taris to be destroyed, what is stopping Malak from coming after the rest of the civilized worlds? And what will happen to those planets in the Outer Rim, with no real presence by the Republic? The war needs to end; the Sith need to be stopped. But it doesn't seem as if anyone in these times are capable. Or are they?

   
   

   The Game

   

   
   Yes, it seems that there are those out there who wish to see order restored to the galaxy; to see the Republic and the Jedi order returned to their former glory. And it is you who are those heroes. People from any and every planet, from the Deep Core to the Outer Rim, who wish to see the wars end, the Sith destroyed, and the galaxy brought back to peace.
   
   I have a bunch of one-shots from different Star Wars systems, a book filled with notes, and a pile of post-its with illegible chicken scratches that I'm going to try cobbling together into a campaign. None of the material I have is linked together in any way, apart from it all being Star Wars. And that's the beauty of this genre: the galaxy is so large that any story can be told. And that's what I'm going to try and do.
   
   Before we get into the gory details of what this is and what I hope to accomplish, let’s set some ground rules. Sort of and introduction to who I am, and what you can expect from me. To start, I’m krossingkhory. My personal pronouns are he, him, they, them, you, that guy, dude, you there…pretty much anything. I’m fairly easy-going, and I try to not let too much bother me. I am somewhat new around here, but don’t let my noobness on the site mislead you; I’ve been gaming since the original D&D cartoon was in first run on Saturday mornings. Yes, I’m old. But I love to game, and with no RL group any longer, well, here I am.
   
   I want this game to be a long-term campaign. Heroes start small, take on missions, get bigger, take on bigger missions, rinse-and-repeat. And as I stated above, the only limit to the stories that will get told here will be our collective imagination. The missions you'll get will be dispensed via some overbearing Republic agency, and based on the outcome of those initial missions, more missions will come your way. Or maybe not. We shall see!
   
   I like games that move. Even if they are moving glacially, I like it when they move. When players and GM alike work together to keep the story flowing, to keep the action happening, to keep the game moving. Games that don’t move end up dying, and none of us wants to see that. A GM I came across on another site said something that I found to be very prescient, and I'm lifting those words and reprinting them here:
   
   I'm also a big believer in the importance of momentum in a game. Posts beget posts beget posts. Slow responses beget slow responses beget dead games.
   
   I like what he said there, and I am going to lift that for this game here. The more the players post, the more I will post, the more the game will move on. Which is what we all want out of any game that we play, right? Right!
   
   I am going to shoot for two posts per week. Whether that ends up being a novella or two sentences, that is the goal for the post rate. I know that things happen, and sometimes you don’t have anything to really add to the current scene. But a simple post like “Herman, with nothing to really add, asks the rest of the group ‘Hey, are we ready to get moving here?’” can go a LONG way. This kind of feeds into…
   
   …communicating with one another. Me with you, you with me, you with each other. All of us talking about the game, what is happening, what the options are. The same GM I quoted above mentioned this in his advertisement, and I’m lifting that too. Gee, am I turning into a thief here? Gosh, I hope that’s ok. Anyhow, we all need to talk. Ask questions, make sure I’m paying attention, poke each other to get moving. If we do that, I think we’ll all enjoy this a whole lot more.
   
   Now, with all that said, let’s dive into…

    

   Application

   I won't post up a full set of character creation rules here, as that will be in the game forum. But I can give an idea, as well as what I’d like to see in your application.

   Star Wars 5E. Should be self-explanatory based on the tag for the thread title, but you never know! Let’s be clear about this up front.
   
   Allowed Material
   Any of the books that are produced for the Star Wars 5E system are allowed. Do not confuse this to mean that anything for D&D 5E is allowed; this is Star Wars, not Dungeons & Dragons. Please see the FAQ below for a (somewhat) complete list of stuff that is not allowed for this game.
   
   Species
   Most species are allowed for use in this game. There are some that are banned; a full list of those can be found in the game forum.
   
   Classes/Subclasses
   All classes and their archetypes/variants are allowed. Please note, however, that only 1 force-using character will be accepted into the group. This means that there will be 1 Guardian OR 1 Consular OR 1 Sentinel in the group. No more that that as I don't want an entire group of Jedi wandering about the galaxy. Keep that in mind when creating your character as, contrary to what a lot of games do, you WILL be competing for that one spot should you create a force-sensitive character.
   
   Starting Level
   1st. I know - boo. But the missions are short, and you'll level up quickly. I hope.
   
   Attributes
   The standard array of 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8 will be used. My experiment with rolling in my 5E game didn't go so well.
   
   Hit Points
   Maximum at 1st level. After 1st level, we will use the higher of a dice roll or the average for the class you level up in.
   
   Starting Equipment
   Whatever you are granted from your Background and Class. You are allowed to sell starting equipment for extra credits to purchase other equipment.
   
   Backgrounds
   Any from the allowed material. No custom backgrounds, please.
   
   The full set of rules, to include what an application should contain, is in the game forum. Go ahead and check them out!

   Frequently Asked Questions

   Q: Should I apply to this game?
   A: If you’ve made it this far and you answer “No”, I question your sanity.
   
   Q: Will there be AI used in this game?
   A: I will use as little AI as I possibly can. I am big on using images, and I will pull maps and images off the internet where they are needed. And to be fair, I will only use images and maps that are either free to use OR that I have paid for. Artists have to eat, too.
   
   Q: Will you be balancing the party with skills/abilities/classes?
   A: Nope. While class/skill/ability does play a small part in my selections, I won’t intentionally say “We need x, y, z...,” and so on. If we end up with 5 Scouts, so be it.
   
   Q: Can I apply if I'm new?
   A: I’m semi-new to the site, and I’m running this mess. So if you’re new, all I can say is “The water’s fine, so why don’t you join us?”.
   
   Q: Will we have access to more setting information?
   A: Check out what I've already given in the game forum! And if that isn't enough, ask away and I'll provide more!
   
   Q: Do the characters all know each other at the start of the game?
   A: Yes. The opening of the game will see the characters already together and knowing each other. You do not need to have history with the other characters, but you will at least know each other.
   
   Q: What is the current year or time period in the game?
   A: 3956 BBY. We are nearing the end of the Jedi Civil War, and about to get into the Dark Wars. Malak has overthrown Revan and has laid waste to Taris, but the battle of Rakata Prime has not yet happened.
   
   Q: Do force-using races such as Felucians and Miraluka count towards the limit on the number of force-using characters that will be selected for the group?
   A: Yes. The limit is specific to the group as a whole, not just on Classes. If this limit on force-using races was not applied, it would open the door to more.force users than I wish to have in the game.
