Showing Luke would probably be a spoiler, so he's probably a Force ghost, mentoring the new guy.

Either that or he's retired to Yoda's place on Dagobah. :D

Nah.  Luke has to have a big part in the new film.  He gets second billing on the movie poster.  Now it seems to me that the marketing team for this film are the biggest cockteasers since I was left in a hotel room to babysit a couple of twelve year old girls.  They're building the hype by not showing us Luke.  As if this film needs any more hype, huh?  When they finally do show Luke it is going to result in the biggest nerdgasm the world has ever seen.

Or the biggest let-down as it turns out he's a flashback character who was only included so they could put Mark Hamil's name on the posters.

Any games open at the moment?

Anyone have any ideas for a catchy but not complicated name, for a Clawdite Noble/Soldier.

Going for the Infiltrator/Weaponmaster type of character if that helps any.

edit: Also, are there any bots in SAGA that have an almost Mecha appearance while being roughly human sized? Closest I have seen were the Juggernaut War Droids.

How do you define 'mecha-like'?

Sleek and super futuristic. As few rough angles as possible.

My baseline for this is going to be the GX1-Series Battle Droid, although I cannot remember which book it is in.

Scavenger's Guide to Droids.

The GX1 Battle Droid reminds me of the Landmate power armor in the Appleseed manga.

Makes me think of Fooly Cooly

Oh, right, because the robot in Fooly Cooly has a head that looks like a television set.  While the GX-1 has a head that looks like a spotlight.  The two are pretty close.  But I was nothing the second pair of little arms close to the chest.  That's what makes it look like the Landmate power armor.  Though, kind of think of it, a Landmate would be large-size because a person rides inside of it with their legs taking up the space in the Landmate's legs down to above the knee.  And the Landmate's big arms can hold onto assault cannons like they're a regular rifle.

Hey, calling all techies here.

On another site I'very fought my way into a Fallout New Vegas SAGA game and I was struck with an idea I can't quite pull off.

Making a Pipboy out of a wrist/bracer computer. Most of the stuff isn't hard. Radiation Detector,MediSensor, Sensor Pack......but I wonder.
Is there anyone who can think of a way to come close to V.A.T.S. ?

Saga's already a turn based game, so just aim for stuff that gives you bonuses to Condition Track damage to represent the V.A.T.S. called shot system.

Oh some on, we all know how we use V.A.T.S.  The only way that works within the Saga System is to increase your Critical Hit Chance.  So basically have it give Improved Critical Feat.

No idea if I'll even get an answer on this but what have I got to lose, time?

OKAY

Building a Sniper as part of a sniper spotter combo, and due to party makeup being a Droid team came up.

I like the idea, but am unsure on a few things. So here is my question.

What would you find more advantageous, A Replica Droid using teched out armor, or an ordinary Droid that has customized their chassis?

Are you both droids?

If so, then the spotter might do better as a replica in case they needed to get really close to a target, but the main advantage of droids is the ability to customise the chassis to purpose. A small hovering drone that can get into difficult to reach places, with four legs to stabilise its firing position once it gets there it is a much better sniper than a humanoid.

actually, Spotter plans on either battle or probe droid as chassis. Depending on the need for fire support.

My choice is between the Replica and a Battle Chassis, with the Replica currently winning out in my mind due to the simple fact that Armor can cover just about everything that a Droid chassis can have included.

The only thing I'm really looking at now decision wise is, credit comparison on how much I'll end up spending to kit out either my chassis (as well as a possible backup) or a suit of armor.

Not to mention there is some advantage to being a droid when enemies have no idea that you aren't. Mind Trick, hah.

Don't forget that armour cripples you at higher levels unless you spend three levels in soldier specialising.

If all you want is a price comparison, then go Battle Droid all the way.  The armor is cheaper.  6400 for Duranium Plating vs. 7000 for Battle Armor.  Both have the same +8 bonus.  The bigger difference is in the gear you put inside.  A Helmet Package costs 4000 credits.  The same gear installed in a droid comes to 600 credits!  And a droid can take so many more modifications than the best suit of armor.

I wonder how many people here are still active on RPOL.  I also wonder how many would still like to play a Saga game.  I still want to run them but lately I haven't been getting dedicated players.  It seems the games die after about a couple weeks.  I wonder if it's worth my time to try starting new solo games.

There are plenty of people around, just not sure if anybody is playing Saga any more, I think most have moved on to other systems in the meantime. I'm personally just in a nation building game and a pathfinder game and that is it, with all the over time I'm doing I don't think I'd be able to fit in another game at any reasonable speed personally.

I still play SWSE, but I guess many have moved onto the new Star Wars system. But in general, RPOL seems less reliable than usual, too many game die-offs have left me burned out. I'd be interested in other SWSE games, but I've hit my limit on RP, unfortunately.

I'd be interested in playing. I tried joining a few non-sw games here lately, and they've all pretty much died.

I'm still here and playing Saga.

I was in your game Between Light and Darkness, I blame myself partly now I see its been deleted. I know was slow in posting, honestly I kept thinking I'd post in it again. It was my first attempt at playing a droid, not sure if I made a good go at it.

My game is still running after more than 5 years.

I can't commit to quick posting as too busy but can commit to a slower paced game if someone is offering.

I'm still here and I often look around for good stuff to pick up, but I've stopped playing/running Saga Edition games. Uh, again. D20 just doesn't fit me very well. I did get a lot of good advice on how to handle certain things or my last game from this group, which I much appreciate. Just think I'll be sticking to Fate Accelerated for any future Star Wars games.

I'm still around. :) I would love to play Saga again. I tried to drum up some interest for a roll20 saga edition game but none of my usual group like star wars, the heathens.
