Old Republic-era Star Wars game?

I'm a huge fan of the Star Wars the Old Republic MMO. I really like the take on the setting with the Galactic Republic and the Sith Empire locked in a Cold War and I think it offers a lot of fun of opportunities for diverse adventures.

Anyone willing to run or play in a game set during this era?

If you wind up finding a DM for this, I'd love to participate in it.

I might be interested in running something similar. The MMO would be ignored completely, elements might be borrowed from it. It will be more KOTOR than TOR.

Huh, I have to admit it's been a long time since I played KOTOR, though I remember liking it. What system where you thinking?

Yeah if given the choice I'd lean much more SWTOR though I am interested in hearing Harley Quinn's ideas.

I really liked Knights of the Old Republic. I feel that Force & Destiny rules would be ideal for this setting.

Agreed.  Knights of the Old Republic/The Old Republic would benefit from that edition of the game rules rather than the older d6 one.

Saga Edition (different than d6) had a KOTOR Era Sourcebook, which is really handy. (SAGA also tends to be very Jedi-centric in its materials, so if that's the kind of character you want to make, you're good to go).

Having played everything KOTOR related (although I haven't touched SWTOR in a good number of years), I'm sure I could cobble something together if you're interested in that system.

I have a copy of Force & Destiny, but have never used it, so I would make a poor GM with that system, but would be willing to be a player in it.

D6 has a fan made Old Republic Galaxy Guide though I understand that system isn't that popular these days.

I'm not a huge fan of Saga but that might just be unfamiliarity (I've heard good things about it.) I don't own Force & Destiny (or the other Fantasy Flight Games) so that might be tricky.

There is a conversion of D&D 5e which looks pretty interesting: https://sw5e.com/

Definitely interested in playing in a game for the options being discussed!

I'm a huge SWTOR fan and I have played a SWTOR era saga game before, and it was extremely fun! The system isn't too bad once you've gotten a handle on it. I thought the class system was cool.

I like 5e as well. Never tried the Star Wars conversion, but would be interested in it. I've also played KOTOR, and enjoy that setting too.

I think the initial pitch of Republic/Empire cold war antics sounds very intriguing. I think the political situation in SWTOR is rich with possibilities.

I love TOR/KOTOR and would be very much interested in playing.

For the Empire!
