Well, I have two people at least who have expressed interest, so welcome Lurker V and Lurker S.

So, what type of adventurers are you guys interested in?  What type of characters do you enjoy playing?

Now that should work better!

If your unsure of any new rules, let me know.  We don't have to use anything that I am typing up from the D20 Mass Effect, if you want to go for a simpler campaign.

I have a couple of ideas, adventure wise, but the great thing about Dragonstar is that you can pretty much do anything, it is a big galaxy after all.  So if you like a certain type of game, let me know.

Any thoughts?

Alright, lets try it now!

A player has suggested possibly an evil campaign, and I am not initially opposed.  Ideas?

I'm cool with evilness or straight up good guys. Most of my characters tend to be morally in the middle. Han Solo/Wolverine types.

I didn't realize this was set up just for us or I'd have posted sooner lol

Well, seeing as your the only ones who posted an interest, and sent a RTJ, I figured you could choose what type of campaign you would like to play in.  If you want more, I could open up a Wanted Players thread.

Here are a few suggestion Lurker V had for an evil campaign.

Agents for the Empire, cult squashers, paranormal investigators, bounty hunters or assassins.  Maybe evil church reps, spreading the word by word and sword.

In reply to GM (msg # 6):

We could be pawns in some sort of Galactic Machavelian Chess game between noble houses or powerful groups/institutions.

I would enjoy something a bit larger in scope not simply a daily grind for cash and survival.  I am thinking something akin to planescape where everything is there - an eclectic mash of every cool race, critter, entity.

I could see my toon being a troll or ogre or a a salamander or type something demon or a bugbear or an evil pixie, maybe a werewolfoid thing or a space Sahuagin or a ghoul or githyanki or umber hulk or the essence/soul of an undead star.

If that too over the top I can do an evil elf.

Some of the monstrous are a little out there, though not impossible.

werewolfoid - Could be a Shifter.

space Sahuagin - Sahuagin with the Space-Breed template.

essence/soul of an undead star - this would be a little tricky, but my thought is perhaps a Soulmech, powered by the negative energy of the star.

Githyanki, Ghoul, Umberhulk, Troll, Ogre, Bugbear are all, while not entirely common, it won't be shoot on sight.

Demons and Pixies...  I would say the Fey would suffer around the technology of the Empire, while Outsiders in general are, if not openly frowned upon, more than likely will be taken in to custody.  Demons and Devils tend to ignore mortal rules, as do Celestials, even when on the material plane.

I would definitely like it to be more epic in scale than say... smuggling a load of illegal whatevers to whomever.

That said, I like the ideas presented. It wouldn't seem impossible to use them ALL in various degrees.

Though I have posted a bunch of special snowflake character concepts, I am more than willing to tone it down if you would like.

In addition, I mention a game of more epic scale but I would enjoy running a level 1 character.  I do not have to be a level 6/4/4 Fighter Warlock Space Magus. I like character growth and development through play.

Agreed, starting low makes you appreciate the higher level benefits. And I don't have an issue with 'special snow flake' characters. I like 'em. creative!

I of course will need one of my own though lol.

Predator/Sith Lord (This is totally a joke btw)

Ooooo Predator / Sith Lord...  There is an idea...

http://www.swagbucks.com/?t=i&q=predator+sith+lord

So, speaking character level wise, originally, I start my games at 5th, but if you guys desire, 1st is ok, since I give extra hit points due to deadliness of weapons.

I am not opposed to weird creatures at all, we just need to adapt them to the setting.  It is a bonus that with Gestalt, you can put racial levels on one side, while still maintaining your main class on the other.

I am thinking, if you desire a semi-evil campaign, would you like to work for the Emperor, ISPD, one of the Houses of Asamet (Red, Blue, Green, Black or White)?  Or you can even be freelance, though you two would have to decide how you agreed to work together, and what your goals would be.

I was totally kidding... but if we can make it work mechanics wise who am I to complain. :)

would make a great power hungry assassin.

For  previous character, I reworked the Soulknife into a more Jedi-like flavor.  They played  a Soulknife//Psychic Warrior, and it worked pretty well.  Soulknife for Lightsaber, Psychic Warrior for Force Techniques.

Like I said, if you have a concept you really want to play, I have a Galaxy full of possibilities.

I'd be glad to try a light sabre/force lightning wielding predator!!! That's kinda bad ass lol

How close to the Evil Hunter type are you wanting?  Do you want traditional Yautja weapons/equipment, or an actual light-sabre, or maybe saber-claw(s)?

And with this, the question is, why are you working with prey?  I would imagine you are an outcast of your clans, hiding amongst the Empire for some misdeed.

And then, Lurker V, what concept are you interested in?

saber-claws for sure! other Yautja weapons(shoulder cannon and stuff) would be cool if I was really pressed in a fire fight.

I think my character would view the Force as another way to track/hunt prey down. The rest of his clan may view it in poor light, which is fine they could hunt me too. Perhaps he used the force to kill the clan head?

random and off the top of my head. any changes or outright rewriting is just fine.

Dual Wielding?  I think, that Wilder might be an appropriate other half of your classes.  Soulknife // Wilder.  The entire ruled by your passions, embracing your emotions is counter-jedi, but very much Sith.

You know the system boss, I'm game to try it!!! sounds pretty awesome... and yes, dual wielding!!!!

So, give me a day or two to get your character set up, Lurker S.  Do you have a name in mind?

So, my thoughts on the Yautja history:  The Yautja where once Orcs from a jungle world far from the center of the Serpent Eye Galaxy.  In the times before the Star League, many thousands of years before, an ancient civilization whose name the Yautja cannot recall, genetically engineered these Orcs from savage barbarians, barely able to craft crude weapons from bone and stone, to an almost Imperial level of intelligence and technology.  They were trained in the ways of hunting, of the blood sport, for this ancient civilization was at war with a terrible aberration civilization.  Both sides used powerful biological engineering and psionics in their war.  In the end, both civilizations died off, leaving behind the remnants of their war across the galaxy.  Scattered and broken, the Yautja fled to their home world, seeking to condense their people and continue their culture of Honor and Hunting.  Although advanced for their time, the Yautja did not fully understand their technology, they slowly withdrew back to their more primitive states, forgetting how to craft their vessels, improve upon them, and even losing much of their psionic potential.  All that matter was the Hunt, and Honor.

Good background?

Lurker V, any idea on your character?

Yeah... I dig it. Would make sense then for him to continue his hunt to get involved with other races. And cause him to rely on his natural talents and abilities(including the Force). COOL.

Sorry folks something serious has come up and I am going to have to take a raincheck on this game.  Forgive me.  No ETA for a return.  Good luck and again I apologize.

No worries, good luck Lurker V.

So, Lurker S, would you like me to advertise for players?  1st level right?

I can roll solo or with more folks, either way. As long as you're helping with the mechanics/character sheet lol. And I'm not stuck on level 1, just a lower level so I can kinda grow into the character.

Level 1 is fine,  almost done with character anyways.  Testing out a new design to enhance the flavor and power of characters, so we shall see how it works out.

Any name in mind?

Cetanu, at a glance will do nicely.

Almost done typing up your character, you should be able to look at it so far.  Next day or so and first post should be starting.

Sweet!

btw I looked up Yaujta names, apparently I am the God of death/war :)

We shall see how you live up to that reputation.  Anything you would like to do in your first mission?

Since I switched from Wilder to Psychic Warrior, is there any particular powers you think would be thematically appropriate?

So, Two Feats, one of which is either Fighter or Psionic, and your 1st level power known, and alignment, and you should be ready to start.  Any ideas?
This message was last edited by the GM at 10:36, Mon 17 Aug 2015.

If he's a psychic warrior, instead of wilder, is there a psychic ability to enhance his speed... something like a psychic haste spell?

And for feats I'd have to check, I would like two weapon fighting for sure, claws on both hands... if I need that. Otherwise I'm open to suggestions :)

overlooked the fact I already had two weapon fighting. my bad.

Well, for one, I think Track would be good.

The other, I am thinking Speed of Thought...maybe.

Those both sound good, and Track would be awesome since I'm gonna hunt and such.

So, psionic/fighter feat possibilities:

Up the Walls - Ignore gravity while moving basically along surfaces.
Speed of Thought - +10ft base speed.
Mental Leap - Expend psionic focus to gain jump bonus.

Psychic Warrior Powers 1st level (That seem to fit your theme):

Burst
Cat fall
Chameleon
Precognition (Defensive)
Precognition (Offensive)
Prescience (Offensive)

Alignment ?  I would imagine Neutral Evil, perhaps Chaotic Evil.  I could be wrong though.

I like Neutral Evil, there has to be some order to things.

And do I need to choose from the lists like 1 from each? Cause they all sound cool lol

At 1st level you get one psionic power known.  As you go up in levels, you get more.

As for the feats, as this is first level, you get one of those feats.

Eventually, you can choose more feats, even those feats if you want.

Burst - 1 round +10ft speed.
Cat fall - removes some falling damage.
Chameleon -  bonus to hide checks.
Precognition (Defensive) - bonus to defense.
Precognition (Offensive) - bonus to attack rolls.
Prescience (Offensive) - bonus to damage rolls.

For now, let us choose

Up the Walls

and Cat Fall

The armor has chameleon capabilities(if I read the info you posted right) so that Feat can wait for now.

It has lesser chameleon abilities, +4 to Stealth, does nothing against infrared sensors.  The chameleon psionic power gives +10 to Stealth, but Cat Fall is not a bad choice.

Expect a starting post tomorrow.

Chameleon will be added soon :)

Posting later tonight, work.

no worries boss, have a good day.

Post upcoming later today.

Sorry, heat wave is knocking the electricity off in my area, I should be able to post later today.

no worries boss, that's a bad heat wave though. dang. finally cooling off here.

DM is jealous.

Don't be, it's gonna be back up in the mid 80's. It's almost fall thank goodness. My kinda weather.

For Southern California, our summer runs late August to early November, so our heats just beginning.  I am hoping for a cool down soon.

Got some friends in NorCal, don't think anyone near your area though. I am in North Georgia, so our weather makes no sense. We have had days this summer in the high 70's and days hitting triple digits. Then in the winter sometimes it'll get to the 70's and sometimes it won't hit 30...

"If you don't like the weather in GA, wait 20 minutes, it'll change." Old timers.

lol.  Well, we have been known to hit the high 90's on christmas day.  But with all of the fires going on, our heat is being amplified quite a bit.

Yeah, my friend and her kids live up in Eureka and she said it had been a strange summer.

Well, those two claw hits, one of which was a critical, has sent you down.  Technically, you are way past dead, but I like to give players the option of what they would like to do.

Choices are as follows:

1.  Start a New Character.
2.  End the Game.
3.  Pray for Divine Intervention (Subject to DM approval, you may not like what you become, or what god answers your call.  Make your prayer good, for it counts.)

well damn... lol

I am ok with 1 or 3. Which ever is easiest for you boss. Since you basically created this character.


How about he prays to ancient Sith Lords? Though they may consider him weak for failing(stupid die roller!!!!)

That is true.

The gods of this game are varied and many.  From the Destroyer (Destruction, Chaos, Evil) to the Reaper (Law, Evil, Death) are your only evil gods that may answer.  It is unlikely that any other gods, who are neutral and good, would answer your prayer.  There is an offshot of the mainstream religion, with only two gods.  The Creator (Lawful and Good) and the Adversary (Chaotic and Evil).  And as you have said, Ancient spirits could answer your prayers, though they may be harder to appease than a god.

So, if you pray, do so, and we shall see how well it is received.

you know what, let's do it!

At the very least it'll be interesting!

Post coming later tonight.

I'm already nervous lol

It appears the Reaper might have taken an interest in you, though perhaps if you seek its favor, you may be required to pledge something more than souls.

so cool!

Just to give warning, I will be gone for the next three or so days.

no worries, are you in an everquest game... I ask because someone said the same thing lol

I am, Alaan Hollow.

Would you be another player?

I would be, Aerlikon, the mildly useless at this point ranger.

Ranged does often feel that way.  If it makes you feel better, I don't think I hit once.

I hit, ineffectively... lol. But I can build some sweet ass bows.

I was rather impressed in the way you could craft better bows and arrows.  Ideas...

My fletching skill is pretty good +9 at the moment, given proper tools and stuff I can do wonderful things lol.


I haven't played EQ since the original PC game in the early 2000's. The GM is hand holding quite a bit.

Updating later today.

cool, no rush on my part boss.

Post after sleep, my apologies for the lack of updates, been a long week.

no worries, it's just the two of us, so it's all good. post when you can boss.

Legacy of Void release, shall update soon.

I'll be here.

A death in the family is taking its toll on me, and I am hesitant to continue this game in its current state.  I love the setting, but I am finding myself less and less time able to post, and two weeks is a terrible long time for you to wait.

If you wish to hold on, I will strive to improve my post rate, but if you do not, I shall not be offended, especially given how long you have waited.

Sorry for your loss, I hate to hear that. Need to talk, I'll listen boss. I'll wait around, no big deal. You wanna continue we will, you decide not to, just rmail me and we can stay in contact for future games.

I thank you for the wait, it has been hectic for the past two weeks.  Let me see about getting caught up, and where we can go from there.

no worries on my end boss. it's been hectic for me too, albeit not to the level of your hecticness. I'm here whenever you're ready.
