I'd like an HK droid. Thank you, meatbag.

I don't think HK's were made into personal companion droids.   ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Hmm...I seem to recall it took time for her to purify them of the Dark Side. Granted, 'tis been a bit 'o' time since I read the book but I thought she had to actually concentrate on changing and healing them.


She breaks the Inquisitor's blade, grabs the crystals and finishes putting together her new handles with the force while other imperials are closing in on her.  It seems pretty fast, and they're white right away.  If that took extra concentration she could have done it when she was safe.  She does explain the purifying thing to Bail later.

Well, I'm only able to make this kind:

It'll work out better, if your names happens to be Roger...

OOC: 000: Out of Character Discussion

Well, I've just spent five minutes on the "official" Discord for this fan conversion and I am legitimately amazed at how good the rules are compared to the slack-witted degenerate shitgremlins who are playtesting them and providing feedback for the officially unofficial lead developer.

Won't be making that mistake again.

GM Shroompunk are we trying to have a certain number of groups of players? Should we try to be part of different of factions? Will we be playing any solo at any point? I think it would help to know some of these things before we decide on character creation.

Assume that group number/composition will change and that solo adventures will happen.

Re: OOC: 000: Out of Character Discussion

Sorry I haven't been as responsive the last couple of days. Weekends are normally busier for me-- I'm never really busy, objectively speaking-- but I've slept two 16 hour nights in a row and I've been doing my patriotic best to contribute to my country's opioid crisis.

I think we've got a pretty good clue where our battle lines are.

Character Creation:
  • 27 Point Buy or Standard Array.
  • 2 Backgrounds, 3 if you're Human.
  • 4th level.


I'll start cleaning up the worldbuilding threads in the next couple of days. If everyone could PM me their starting (PC) alliances, the values I asked for, and their relationships (good & bad) with some of our Factions, I'll start spinning the plates for you.

Which values did you ask for, sorry?

Re: OOC: 000: Out of Character Discussion

Maybe use the Backgrounds as examples, but a statement of how you'd see the world in the Light, plus a passion that you'd follow into the Dark-- like Anakin's obsession with protecting his loved ones-- and then a statement of a Dark side passion and the attachment that you can't sacrifice to it, that threatens to drag you back down into the Light.

Like having two space wolves inside you.

I lost this whole week being stuck in bed. And today I had to do stuff outside the house.

I'll try to get things moving in the next couple of days.

Apologies, I am neither dead nor flaked.

The stuff I need to do before we start doesn't actually depend on the stuff you need to do... but while I'm going to be delayed a few more days (real life snuck up on me fast), I also don't have a single completed character sheet from anybody, and I only have Bonds/Ideals/Flaws from a couple.

Get me some character sheets and some Bonds/Ideals/Flaws-- one light virtue/dark flaw, and one dark virtue/light flaw-- and confirming who is going to start teamed up (or solo) and I'll cook something up as quickly as possible, though it will be Monday night at the soonest.

Do you accept sheets from the Char builder on the website?

Re: OOC: 000: Out of Character Discussion

I really want the form-fillable PDFs from the site.

There's not really space on the sheet for the Values I want, so everyone can just PM me those.

Re: OOC: 000: Out of Character Discussion

Well... I am sorry to get everyone's hopes up, but I'm having a pretty serious mental health meltdown and I'm dramatically scaling back my entire online presence. I'm resigning from both of the games I'm running, and I'm going to need to rethink my approach to running online games in the future.

However, some of you did finish character sheets. And now that everyone's assembled, there's no reason I have to be the one to run this-- if people want, I can turn the reins over to a player of their choice and allow everyone to try to salvage their efforts here.

Let's have a talk and see if we can salvage this before I close up shop.

Re: OOC: 000: Out of Character Discussion

Sorry to hear that. I've had my own struggles with that a while back. Hope things turn around soon.

As for the game, it's scarcity of DM's that generally is the bottleneck around here, but maybe we'll have a little miracle happen. Perhaps you can put up a post in Wanted - GMs?

Sorry to hear about the mental struggles. A break is sometimes necessary to reset. I appreciate you trying to bring this together. If someone is willing to takeover, I will remain.

Re: OOC: 000: Out of Character Discussion

As previously expressed, that's really unfortnuate to hear, but you're taking the correct steps.

Work on yourself, that is absolute most important thing.

As to the idea posited, I normally could and maybe even would take the GM responsibilities here, if I wasn't already GM'ing a Star Wars Saga Edition campaign elsewhere, and if I wasn't going to heading out on a mobilization in the next few months.
