What this is

[Drakmor]

So, I've been wanting to do this for a while now ( josk.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=gah&action=display&thread=337&page=1 ). I didn't have time during school, but now that Josh and I are done, we decided to start. We're probably only going to do this during the summer for now, so I see this as a bunch of mini campaigns (small stories) which may or may not be creative. We're starting with a treasure hunter thing, but if anyone has other ideas they want to try, post here and let me know!

If you were too lazy to go back and read my old thread, here's most of the original post, but with a bit of added info, so read it anyways.

Basic info:

SWRPG experience required: none

Star Wars knowledge required: none, but the more you know the better. I'll change stuff around depending on how SW savvy this group is.

General RPG experience: you guys are good- I'm thinking anywhere from a few sentences to a few paragraphs, depending on the situation. Definately much less per post then The Journey, for example.

More detailed/ geeky/ experienced player details:

What system are we using? Most likely, I'm going to used a modified Saga ruleset..... I've been wanting to actually get some use out of my nice shiny book.

What do you mean by "diceless?" It's going to be like normal SWRPG, but you're not going to see many, if any stats/ dice rolls, etc. All the numbers will be crunched by me in the backround. If I have enough time, I may post dice rolls in a side board.

Basically, you don't have to know anything about Star Wars or dice RPGs.


I can't think of any more things right now, but if you need more details, let me know. Please try to post here saying if you're interested, along with how much you know about Star Wars (as in movies, books, etc, not necessarily the game). I'm looking for 3-4 people, but if I get more or less, I can definitely figure something out. (I do run a 6 player group now, so it's not like I don't know how to run large groups)

Also, in any given campaign, please make your character descriptions in your own topics, unless the person in charge says otherwise. As the person in charge (GM) has to make up the stats for your character, they will need to ask you additional questions to get the info they need to finish the character.

I've forgotten to mention how exactly to make a character in these "diceless" RPs, so here it is:

1. Write out a description about the characters including as many details as you can/ think are necessary. The more you do now, the faster the process is. Also, if you know anything about dice RPs and you want to ask for more control over some part of character creation, ask now. Here are some important details to include:
1.1 Physical description, not only appearance, but also things like if they are strong, people persons, etc. Make sure to include the species, as that's not something I'll pick for you. I'll post a list of available species later.
1.2 Things they are good at/ pride themselves on, unique skills they might have.
1.3 If you want to hint at anything you might know is in Saga edition (remember, you don't have to), do it.
1.4 Anything else you can think of, history, family relations, etc.

2. I'll ask you for more details about your character as needed. This is usually the longest and most tedious part, as one of us might ask a small question and have to wait a day or two for the answer. As I said before, the more details you include in the initial description, the less questions will be ask, but there almost always will be some.

3. You'll pick your items. I'll give you the amount of money you have. I'll also post a list of available equipment, just like for species.

4. I'll give you a basic overview of what your character can or cannot do. If you want, you can head on over to the geek section of the RP and see your character translated into the seemingly random numbers and letters of the gaming world in what is called a stat block

UPDATE: Please post your description in a new thread, it will help keep things organized.

If I think of anything, I'll post it as an edit. I'll try to inform people, but keep an eye out!
