how do you do fellow sentients!

It's good to be here, friends! Let's clean up this Galaxy, shall we?

Greetings friends! I'm behind the curve, but I'll find a portrait soon!

Hello all. Good to be joining you.

Hello everyone! Looking forward to working with you all.

<Waves>

We've got quite a big group, don't we? Sounds like we should start making our introductions!

I'm Celes Varik, a Gadgeteer Bounty Hunter, ex-Imperial, raised by Trandoshans. My aim is to bring honor back to the bounty hunting profession, after the Guild's reputation has been sullied by the likes of Boba Fett and his kind. I'm good in a fight and not too bad in a cockpit, either.

Who do I have the pleasure of crewing with?

I'm Elav Rha-- former Pantoran dancing boy for the Moff of the Sujimis sector (Colonist: Performer). Now, I'm trying to make ends meet while keeping a low profile and looking out for my found family (assuming we're a crew). Passable with a vibroknife, but better at talking my way out of trouble before it gets to that point.

I am L-8CE. Advanced pit droid, far superior to the DUM series. Escaping my former master, I've vowed never too have a master again. But I'll gladly repair your junk for an honest wage like all other sentients. I'm not terrible with my blister either.

Good morning everyone, Chizhaci the Wookiee here. An escaped slave from Nal Hutta, he does not Hutts very much. Needless to say, he likes things up close and personal.

Starting to work on the character. Given the number of players, I am guessing that it will be two parties of 4-5 each, so 10 Obligation?

Also, since we are just starting off, are attachments being allowed?

Thanks.

I'm not sure how we're starting out if we know each other or not from the get go, but I have posted a short description to Thal's description page.  Considering some folks are still probably working up a character and might not have decided on a career and specialization yet, Thal's a colonist-doctor if that helps.

Not quite against expectations as the wookie doctor I have in my tabletop SW game.  And I certainly won't be offering pine-cones and mud to the injured to tend to their wounds;-).

Am waiting for one or two players more, and then will let you guys choose your own teams.

I'm your friendly Charmer Smuggler. I plan on expanding into the Scoundrel and Pilot Specializations later on.

I'm rebuilding an old character I played locally in a campaign that fizzled out.

Oh! Sounds like we won't be starting with 5 Obligation, so I can afford to get more stuff! :3

Yeah. Can't quite finish character creation until group size is settled, but I'm having to work on datafiles for OggDude's character generator.

Aluin is pretty much done other than whatever changes may occur with obligations and such. He is a pretty standard Explorer / Scout I suppose.

I redid my gear assuming starting Obligation of 10 instead of 5, and my pdf sheet is updated to match.

In reply to Quinn Tarol (msg # 15):

Heh, looks like we are a pretty Charming group of people. T'voss is also a Scoundrel Charmer.

His background involves being a CIS refugee after the Clone Wars as well as a bit of journalism and talking people into things.

Quinn is done except for Obligations. I'll get those after we decide what the groups are.

Ok, so we now have 10 players, and I'll give you 72 hours, starting now, to decide on your groups, and then we'll start the game.

Sorry I am fashionably late. Got in at the last second. Xexto former podracer driver/pilot here with minor mechanic skills. Not as good as a full on mechanic but enough to keep the ship from going down. Let’s just say he rubbed a Hutt the wrong way and is looking for job opportunities outside of Tatooine.

So the basic starting cash is 500 credits with option of using obligations to increase that I assume? Since it will very much pertain to my character, may I ask what equipment/vehicles/ships will be made available to us since none of us can afford a ship or land vehicle and will need to be sponsored by someone.

Character ties would most likely be anybody from the Tatooine area and/or needed a driver for any reason in the past year or so. Maybe you’ve even placed a bet on him during one of his podraces.

Let's start with forming the groups, and then we'll figure out the ships/vehicles, as for equipment, anything that isn't Restricted, can be bought, if you have the funds for it.
Better to not buy up Obligation, until the group is formed, and then you can discuss  how high you want to go.

OK, lets see what we have to work with here. This is what I am seeing spec wise so far.

Aluin - Scout
Arribacca - ?
Celes Varik - Gadgeteer
Chizhaci - ?
Elav Rha - Performer
Garosuka - Driver
L-8CE - Technician ?
Quinn Tarol - Charmer
T'voss Kree - Charmer
Thal Zann - ?

Not that specializations are everything, but it might help as a start. Lots of possible options here.

We could always put Elay, Quinn and T'voss in a group and see what trouble they can talk their way into and out of. LoL. Elay and I have discussed skillsets a bit to avoid stepping on toes, I haven't talked with Quinn but am willing to bet we have similar abilities as a base though personality and focus can make a bit of difference.

T'voss is not highly supportive of the Empire due to his childhood during the Clone Wars, but he is not a die hard rebel either. He has worked as a journalist feeding stories to the HoloNet and has been on several planests so the story based options for connections are there.

I'd be happy having Aluin, L-8CE, and one of the charming trio with my group, if they're interested. Gotta fill in the skillset gaps, after all. I pay by commission! :D

You got it boss! Just don't tap me on the noes and we'll be the best of buddies!

^ <Points up> Post #13.  Thal's a doctor.  A simple country undercity gank doctor.;-)  Actually he's wandered a bit but basically in the Outer Rim and Hutt regions.

Even teams would be 5 PCs apiece.  Doesn't look like we are required to do so but if no one objects I'd go with the assumption of teams of 5.

Looking over descriptions and such I sense we have a lot of presence in this group;-)

Offhand I'd say L-8CE and Garosuka synergize since one's a pit droid and the other is a pod racer.

One of the Charmer's should pair up with them.  T'voss Kree could fit if L-8CE & Garosuka didn't 'fix/throw' a race for the Pike Syndicate.

They could use a combat oriented character- Chizhaci is formerly from Hutt space and could have easily ended up on Tatooine first.

Just a preliminary sketch so we have some basis to mix-n-match from.  And not that the other group won't 'balance' either (granted we probably don't want all the Presence folks on one team, ;-).

So...thus far as a thumbnail recommendation...

Team Red
1- L-8CE (tech)
2- Garosuka (driver)
3- T'voss Kree (charmer)
4- Chizhaci (melee muscle)
5-

Team Blue
1- Celes Varik (Bounty Hunter- gadgeteer and prolly similar to Garosuka in role)
2- Quinn Tarol (Charmer- the same but with T'voss Kree)
3-
4-
5-


Thal Zann as a doctor would be a useful addition to either team and his background is flexible enough end up wherever;-).

So basically I think the simplest way to hash out the team list is for Aluin Cree, Arribacca, or Elav Rha to decide if they want to fill that fifth slot on 'Team Red' or not.  If none of them do then Thal will fill it and we have our split.

I'm good palling around with Celes.

You might want to have Aluin and Arribacca on different teams, maybe have Arribacca and Chizhaci on the same team, as they're both wookiee

What's a little wookiee romance/bromance?

Chizhaci should definitely stay with Team Red, not because I dislike wookiees (though Celes may have a little generational speciesism in her from her Trandoshan parents, which we'll need to work on because that's not very cool) but because it looks like we're the only two combat monsters, and they could use a warrior on the team. That said, Arribacca should probably also go with, to provide some double-wookiee action. We can happily take Aluin, Elav, and Thal.

<giggity>

I agree that Garosuka and L-8CE would synergize well. He would recognize its autonomy. My character’s career/specialization is Ace/Driver. May dip into Hotshot or Rigger specialization depending on how things go as far as how much vehicle/spaceship stuff there is. I’m cool with Red team and the groupings proposed so far.

I'm happy with either group. Mechanically, I'm using Performer and maybe eventually Politico to be a face/support character (using Distracting Behavior and Inspiring Rhetoric). I think I'll also use a melee weapon because it goes with the former dancer role.

Like T'voss mentioned, we talked a bit to avoid too much overlap, so it might be cool to be on the same team-- but overall, I think Elav could fit with anyone.

Yeah putting the Scouts on separate teams also makes sense given the Charmers are in the same boat.  And Team Red could use a dedicated beatstick which a wookie marauder more than amply fits the bill.  So given input thus far this is the proposed split up barring objection or other proposals...


Team Red
1- L-8CE (Technician)
2- Garosuka (Driver)
3- T'voss Kree (Charmer)
4- Chizhaci (Marauder)
5- Arribacca (Scout)

Team Blue
1- Celes Varik (Gadgeteer)
2- Quinn Tarol (Charmer)
3- Aluin (Scout)
4- Elav Rha (Performer)
5- Thal Zann (Doctor)

Yes, splitting up the fighter types would not be a bad idea and the group layout works. A vibro-axe is in the cards for Chizhaci, so up close and personal.

Alright. Quinn is ready to go.

She's stuck on this planet because as soon as she arrived, local heavies impounded her ship, a modified YT-1000, and put her in service to them. One of them took a little pity on her and gave her carte blanche on how she operates, but she now owes them for that taste of freedom.

Obligations of Favor (5) and Servitude (10), and she's really salty about that because her Motivation is Ambition (Freedom). She chafes under her current circumstances.

While her looks are simple enough, see the pic in the description, her voice and manner of speech is Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. She lack's Elvira's attitude because sometimes you have to be nice ask you think about where you wish you could shoot them.

There's actually a setting for Edge of the Empire in the dice roller.

Ok, dice roller is set to a default of Star Wars.

Each team has it's own private chat, and I want you guys to discuss there how and where you guys met, and figure out your Obligation.

I have a request. Could the game be set to Mature? We are pretty much criminal scum after all.

I have no problem setting this to Mature (I'm a bit North of 18;-).

On a semi-related note is this thread just for OOC talk related to the game or can we post any OOC chatter here?  Just got back from running my (mostly) AoR game tonight where something I planned for weeks all slotted together that I think others may find amusing.

In reply to Quinn Tarol (msg # 41):

feel free to post anything that isn't offensive. and that you don't mind the other team knowing

Oooh, that's right! We're rival teams sharing the same continuity!

Does that mean we should also figure out some ways we know our rivals? :3

You might encounter them on occasion, after all, you're both on the same planet...

So very condensed storytime from my (mostly now) AoR tabletop game I've been running since 2014 regarding the events that happened last session.  Still runs a bit long but I hope you find it amusing...

A bit of background I run most weeks on Sundays with a interlude to roll20 & discord given recent events.  Even being fairly xp stingy (5 to 10 xp most sessions with @15 for successful adventure conclusion), even with retirements, semi-retirements, and character deaths...yeah the PCs and campaign are more than a bit 'developed'.  Depending on schedules, availability, and just plain life changes my table is between 6 to 10 players, some of these folks have been playing at my table for decades through various campaigns and some of their now adult kids play the game (this one doesn't hold my record as the longest, that would be a Mechwarrior rpg;-).

Anyway, the players started off EotE and sort of slid into AoR.  I've allowed F&D in, but I think in general my band of miscreants just don't care for force users for one reason or another.  It's a full sandbox campaign and generally have a few 'adventures' ready at a given time but at this point it's fairly easy as they are fairly well self-directed and focused on building up their corner of the Rebellion, having a lot of irons in the fire at once.

Essentially, it's two games in one between the tabletop handling more tactical & ops stuff that directly involve the PCs and stuff we handle off table as a more strategic level game as  they've grown their own rebellion (own recruiting pools, training pipelines, resources, manufacturing, & logistics etc.)...that while shares a common purpose in overthrowing the Emperor, they are headed to splintering off as far as what happens afterwards (there's friction points that occasionally occur but they aren't dependent on Mon Mothma's crowd at this point and more often then not they feel it's more a one way relationship as far as support goes with the main Rebel Alliance).

Anyhoo, one of the irons in the fire they were developing moved from the planning to action phase.  Essentially they learned through their network of spies that there was a secret cache of stygium crystals hidden away Rendili StarDrive's Corporate Sector regional headquarters (and shipyard) located on massive Prosperity Center station orbiting the planet Bonadan.  They had 'acquired' a small amount of stygian and a functional miniaturized cloaking device plans (and a frame to mount it in) from a mission @two years before from an (mis-)adventure and had been on the prowl for more stygium so they could take full advantage of it.  They deemed the stores the Imperials had seized & stockpiled a bit too dangerous to make a grab for and figured that some manufacturer or other source may have squirreled away an industrial sized quantity of the stuff despite Imperial restrictions.  So they really put a focus on industrial espionage on ship manufacturing companies in the hope that one of them either was continuing secret research on cloaking or had shelved their research and just not turned over all their stockpiles of stygium in case circumstances changed.

A number of my players are either veterans or current reserve military so if you can't tell a few of them tend to geek out on the details.  Basically so I can't throw Murphy's Law at them every mission but there is nearly always at least some sort of minor complication thrown at them during once the mission timer starts.  And they usually plan on shooting someone anyway so there's usually plenty of excitement to go around even during a op that goes off without a hitch.  However given the number of moving parts in this one I decided Murphy would be paying them a visit, I just didn't know how right away.

So in the planning phase they were a bit worried about the Imps just blowing up the station while they were trying to crack the vault or before they could make their getaway if things went pear shaped if the fleet arrived ahead of schedule.  Granted it was a big habitat that RSD was just a fractional part of but my players can tend to prepare for the worst case scenarios and build their fallback plans from there (and the Imps had destroyed entire planets, so...).

They hit upon that any responding Naval assets were unlikely to bombard RSD's HQ if a number of VIPs were present as hostages.  So they put an memo into Rendali's public relations dept (and covered those tracks...a minor snippet adventure) to have a sort of holiday party/gala to showcase a new project the company had been working on to try to regain some market share from KDY (the Vanguard...which was basically a retooled version of a design done by Walex Blissex when he was with RSD that the Zann Consortium had latter 'acquired' from the destroyed death star to make the Vengeance destroyer).  Given how institutional hierarchies work and how they have covered their bases, nobody in RSD questioned the upcoming party, left hand not knowing what the right hand was doing thinking this was business as usual.

The holiday I ass pulled at the time for the timeframe they wanted was 'Life Day' (officially November 17 btw).  The Holiday Special & Gonk droids are a bit of a running joke with this crowd so no one thought much of it.  Then I got to thinking I could lift a Christmas movie plotline where Murphy totally screws with a bunch of 'terrorists' in their perfectly planned heist (with way too many moving parts).  And I do tease them on occasion that they dance up to that villainous 'terrorism' line a bit (just not crossing over to random bombings targeting civilians and a few other things but they're always money hungry to feed the beast so they do a lot of shady stuff regardless).

So they do their legwork research, a few minor side trek adventures to set things up like feeding the Black Sun shipping info in the Corporate Sector to thin out any potential naval response, do a sort of 'hostile' takeover of a catering service (and make sure they're the ones Public Relations hires) and  acquire plans & materials.  They get a little greedy and decide they are going to make a go for the frigate as well (which will cover the theft of the stygium cuz RSD isn't going to admit that they had a secret store of it but ISB may look closely if they can't figure out what he rebels were after).  However they also decide the frigate can be a diversion for a backup extraction plan if things go tits up so they do another minor trek adventure to pull the same sort of takeover of a minor construction company doing work on RSD HQ and have a disguised boxed up shipment of 'building materials' containing CIS droids to run the frigate if need be not to mention use that to pre-position their high speed gear when the op begins.

Yeah, these are the sorts of players I have and granted I've probably shaped them a bit this way as well all things considered.  So the operation begins, everything starts off perfectly.  They have a sizable team of npc commandos with them, the gear & droids have been delivered and undetected, and the RSD security & VIP security get taken out without a hitch.

They secure their 'work area', locate the secret vault, and start on cracking it.  They do find a driver sitting in his vehicle in the garage but don't really question him and figure out who he belongs to...though I did tell them their headcount for the hostages worked out and this driver (who I even named Arr Gile) seemed to be unaccounted for as far as pairing him with one of the 'guests'.

So Murphy shows up when one of their teams doing the sweep gets blown out of an airlock, attracting the attention of a passing patrol craft....

They give me the WTF just happened look but came prepared for bear and had contingencies planned out.  They utterly destroy the initial local and imperial response, and let them know they are holding all these bigwigs hostage (to prevent a heavier response they feared)  Their crackerjack slicer manages to own the RSD system in the meantime but discovers the 'vault' is kept isolated so that adds a hiccup to their timeframe.

At this point the write off stealing the Vanguard frigate and break out the CIS droids to pilot it assuming they won't be able to get away that way and fallback to Plan B for extraction.  Which is essentially escaping in the 'tween deck undercity of Prosperity Center and 'evacuate' via other planned transports with the other civilians once the shit starts to fly (and then slip away to hyperspace with basically anything else they can loot).

Given the balls they have in the air between hostages, vault, fighting off the local & imp response they send one of their biggest combat fiends up to investigate what happened to that squad that was blown out the airlock with a fireteam.  It doesn't end well as he doesn't retreat as I started to pick off the fire team and he doesn't report like he should.  The player was the one guy's son so he's not as savvy as the others (and it was their mistake for sending him, but the theory was he had vacc sealed armor I guess;-).  When he did finally spot the guy picking them off I even described that he was barefoot but I think the table missed the reference because they were too busy facepalming or something;-).

When the dead stripped PC was strung up in the lift with the note "Now I have a Light Repeating Blaster, Happy Life Day- HO HO HO" they got it (they usually miss when I base a plot off a Western or Louis L'amour but I made this one blatant).  Five minutes latter after they were done pelting me with dice (it was a good laugh tho) they backtracked to Arr Gile, questioned him thoroughly and found out his passenger (Cam) was here to try to make up with wife (who was an RSD exec).  Their slicer didn't have any problem identifying her (considering he had basically strip mined their data from personnel files on up to ship designs by this point).

Questioning her, they find out he's a retired Republic commando put out to pasture by the Imps (etc.) named Cam Klane.  After they were done throwing dice at me again and figuring out which one of them was Hans Gruber they had a brief debate how they should get rid of this guy or even if they should try to co-opt him (despite killing one of the PCs).  They decided to try to get rid of him remotely.  Anytime I mention a Gonk droid in this game they always look to turn it into a walking bomb so that was an easy Checkov's gun to predict honestly when I mentioned their presence near the shipyard section early in the session.  And they were a bit scared of that light repeating blaster he 'acquired' since it was one of the most frightening heavily modified high speed weapons in the group.

They sent the Gonk droid up to the floors they thought he was operating on with a open comlink and his wife calling for him.  As I said they can get a bit ruthless.  Cam was a bit suspicious, having a demo background himself, and basically threw a open comlink of his own towards the droid (to make it seem like he was there in person) to see what the rebels wanted.  They failed on their recruitment/co-opt ploy so they remote detonated the droid.

I'm pretty sure they didn't buy he was dead since it was too easy but I also let the dice fall where they may so they weren't certain.  However they did have a good idea of where he was if he did survive so they sealed off those levels and welded shut any passable ventilation shafts down from those levels.

Meanwhile the navy shows up, things proceed as they expected if that happened, and they break into the vault, acquiring their stygium crystals and a storehouse of other bonus goodies.  Having separated out their VIP hostages they pick a few captives to bring with them for in depth interrogation (drugging them for transfer), load up any ISB or other imp reprobates into the Vanguard, giving the sacrificial droids orders to try to escape to a rendezvous point (unlikely to happen but they weren't sure), and leave the rest there locked up in the building (including 'Holli') to possibly prevent the structure from being knocked down around their ears as they escape via 'Plan B' (having cut into the 'tween deck and loaded up their modified 'tram' they had positioned for this contingency).

That bit went off without further complications as they blended in with other civilian evacuations during the Vanguard fight (it didn't make it to hyperspace, all hands lost;-).  They were in hyperspace before they could be intercepted & inspected with their load of booty, but at a cost of 1 PC.  And the threat there could be a sequel in the future...

That was hilarious.

Sounds like it was a whole lot of fun. Makes me miss my old face to face group and getting to play in person.

One of the reasons (besides the game itself) is it's our regular weekly social event and one of the long timers is a chef (he's the head of the dining service at one of the nearby Universities so he gets his weekends;-).  We just pay for the cost of supplies and get a great meal out of it too.  Lemme tell you they definitely missed it when we had to put the game online for a bit.



I thought so too.  I just had to play it straight since August when they started planning it and then make sure everything lined up so the trigger date was close to RL 'life day';-).

I was hoping they wouldn't give Arr Gile the ninth degree (and everyone missed the reference to a driver sitting in a garage named Argyle;-), but they likely would have pulled everything off with a hitch if they did because as skilled as their npcs commandos were, I built Cam off of 75% of the xp of the highest PC total.  Had the PCs gone seriously looking for him at that point they would have basically nabbed him unarmed.

Talking to Elliot about his new PC, he told me that he heard me say that the guy had no shoes and thought it was a weird detail but flew totally over his head since he'd never saw the movie.  Jeesh the younger generation;-).

His heavy weapons guy was frankly a one man army so they figured they could send him up to deal with the problem on the upper floors with a full fire team since they really didn't want to spare pulling many of their combat oriented characters from protecting the other entry points from imp assault.  Basically he got lazy thinking the npcs were just there for fodder to draw out my ninja bullshit and that he could stand down any hit between his mondo soak and wounds to turn said unknown ninja into swiss cheese with his maxed out autofire (the other players would joke his LRB was the real character and the PC attached to it was just the delivery system;-).

So anyway now I'm trying to think of how to bait them into a airport spaceport for next year when 'Life Day' rolls around again.  I'm thinking of definitely using a group of renegade old clones and the PCs just happen to be in the spaceport when it goes down, or maybe having approach them instead...but I think they'll be watching for any adventure that is 'airport' related;-).

Sorry for being very active, it's the jewish festival of lights, but I will reply to the team threads tomorrow.

No worries, boss! It's been a busy week for everybody, we're all just really excited about the game. :D

Hey folks, just here to keep some activity going so we know the lights are still on. It's been pretty quiet, but it's to be expected in December, the busiest holiday month for a lot of people.

Is anyone interested in setting up connections between characters across the two teams? It'd be nice to know our rivals and have some personal stakes involved.

I'm game if anyone from Red has wandered through the Pirate's Moon, Hutt Space, or other frontiers around the Outer Rim.

GM hasn't logged in since November 29, so I'm not terribly hopeful.

Concur, Hopefully it gets rolling again.

I generally just expect these sorts of delays in December, and am hoping the boss will come back as the holiday season settles down into low-stress mode. Fortunately I've saved all my character details for later in case this game doesn't make it and I get another opportunity to use her. :P

My normal grace period is 2 weeks, but I'm waiting until the first week of January for activity.

Sorry, life isn't great, and has been sick. Hope to get the game rolling soon.

It's the holiday season. Slow down was expected.

Be well first and foremost, boss! <3

Ok, feeling a bit better, and am going over character sheets. Will post issues I find here.

Thal Zann - You're missing Motivation...

Tvos K'ree - Character sheet isn't ready

Oh, Storyguide, on my character sheet, can you check the box that will limit the width of the sheet, please?

In reply to Quinn Tarol (msg # 63):

It is checked, not sure why it's like that.

L-8CE:

Athletics, Vigilance, Ranged - Light, and Education aren't Career Skills.

Astrogation, Coordination, Discipline, Outer Rim, Piloting - Planetary, and Brawl are Career Skills.

You need to choose 3 skills between: Astrogation, Coordination, Discipline, Outer Rim, and Piloting - Planetary and add a rank to them.

As a Droid, you get Enduring 1 for free, and it needs to be marked on your sheet.

After buying your characteristics, you only have 15 xp left, so you can buy 1 rank in one of Atheltics, Vigilance, and Ranged - Light, and that still leaves you 5 Xp, which you can buy a Talent with.

Garosuka's sheet isn't ready

In reply to Storyguide (msg # 64):

I thought I had asked about that before.

Weird that it isn't playing nice.

Elav Rha

You need Motivation

Chizhaci

You have one rank to give to Discipline, Raned - Light, Piloting - Planetary, Resilience, or Vigilance.

Unless you bought one of your Talents from the 2nd row, you have 5 XP left, after buying that one rank in Survival.

And you have 100 credits left.

Celes Varik needs to complete the sheet

Aaribacca needs to complete the sheet as well.

Dang, completely forgot I hadn't transferred over. I'll get to that very soon!

Aluin Cree

You only have 75 credits left.

You need to change your Obligation to 15, if you want the extra 1000 credits. Base for a group of 5 is 10.
This message was last edited by the GM at 08:59, Sun 12 Dec 2021.

No H in my name in this game in the Obligation Tracker. Tharol would be a possible clanmate of a dwarf fighter I'm playing in another game though.

Oops, should be 2 Resilience.
Career: Athletics, Brawl, Melee, Resilience
Specialization: Melee, Resilience
Stats +1 to Brawn (40), +1 to Willpower (20)
4 level 1 talents (20)
Purchase 1 rank in career skills Coercion and Survival (10)
Fixed, and 100 left for spending money.

Glad to see you back ST! Sorry to hear you were not feeling well, good wishes for continued recovery.

Now that I know the obligation starting point I will get the character sheet transfered over quick like.

Thanks again for running the game!

They would be if it's an engineer - mechanic, instead of technician - mechanic. Do you mind which one it is?



Thanks. :)

We're going with Edge of the Empire, so I'd say you're a Technician.

Copy that.

Its been a few years since I made the character and so I've begun recreate him. Hope you don't mind. Nothing massive, just skills, characteristics and talents.

How are you with integrating items into L-8CE's chassis?

It's a note from Age of Rebellion, but droids can declare any of their equipment purchased as being installed.

message me what you want, and we can see. am not gonna say a flat yes, or a flat no.

Was out of town this weekend will get Arri done this week.

How does my sheet look now, boss? And should our sheets be publicly visible so we know what our crewmates are capable of, or should we keep our numbers to ourselves?

Will update sheet tomorrow.

If you want to make your sheet available for others, go ahead.

I would like to have each of you list Wounds and Strain on their Biography.

Done and done! My sheet is now visible in my Description, and I've edited my Bio lines.

Will review the sheets today

In reply to Storyguide (msg # 73):

Okay, should be changed now.

Ok, So only Aaribbaca and Garusoka still need to have a character sheet, and sent two players some questions about some equipment.

Meanwhile, will go over and find a suitable vehicle each team gets to move around. Am not sure yet whether it will be a land vehicle or a flying vehicle, but if it is flying, it won't have a hyperdrive (or whatever it's called to travel fast between the stars).

That would be a hyperdrive.

I had a bit of fun (and spare time)

Happy to see you're feeling better!



Thanks for catching that-- it should be fixed :)

Cool:-)

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone.

Happy Holidays!

Happy Earth winter solstice festival! And another fortunate circumnavigation of the nearest star to all!

Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays everyone!

Hope everyone had as good a holiday as they could manage.

What's a decent ground vehicle? What would be a decent flying vehicle?

Am willing to hear suggestions for both.

Also, one team will get the ground vehicle, and the other the flying vehicle. I have some ideas on how to decide that, but first, let's see what the options are.

Does 'ground' vehicle include things like skiffs or landspeeders or just vehicles with treads, wheels, or legs?

I'd say any sort of speeder would qualify for ground vehicle as they can't get more than a few meters off the ground.

In reply to Thal Zann (msg # 101):

As long it can carry all of you, it's fine

Heh.  Okay, scanned through everything but I might have missed something.  I eliminated any vehicle that was Restricted, required more than 2 crew (and carried less than 6 total), anything outright military (non-civilian) or was a high end/luxury type of vehicle (over 60k iirc).

Airspeeders
Civilian Airspeeder (F&D corebook pg 254, EotE corebook pg 248)- 1 Pilot, 1 to 6 passengers, 10,000 credists/3, Comment- boring but it flies with a maximum altitude of 1 km.  Odd that there are not a lot of 'flying' vehicles that meet my criteria above that lend themselves to a adventurer all-purpose role.

Guardian 5E Personal Defense Speeder (EotE Dangerous Covenants pg 62-63)- 1 pilot, 5 passengers, 20,000 credits, Comments- 300 km maximum altitude, armed, comes with a emergency escape 2 person speeder bike


Landspeeders
A-A3 Dray Light Speeder Truck (F&D corebook pg 255)- 1 pilot, 2 passengers in the cab, up to 8 in the bed, 7,000 credits/2, Comment- like the Civilian Airspeeder, no thrills and likely fills the same role as a Toyota Truck does in 3rd world war torn shitholes do in the RL;-)

A-A8 Backcountry Speeder Truck (F&D Savage Spirits pg 54)- 1 pilot, 5 passengers, 8,500 credits/4, Comment- Max altitude 5 meters, gives a boost to survival

M90 Ranger (EotE No Disintegrations pg 56-57)- 1 pilot, 6 passengers, 19,500 credits/4, Comment- 10 meter max altitude, 'frontier vehicle', better stats than most & 4 hard points

Trast A-A5 Heavy Speeder Truck (EotE corebook pg 250)- 1 pilot, 2 co-pilots(?), 25 passengers, 10,000 credits/2, Comment- 3 meter maximum altitude, included because it is the baseline for the A-A5M

A-A5M Emergency Response Vehicle (F&D Disciples of Harmony pg 58)- 1 pilot, 1 medic and/or medical droid, 1 liaison officer (?), 6 passengers, 10,000 credits/5, Comment- No operating altitude provided but meant to operate in rough situations

Baktoid UH-XH Heavy Work Platform (EotE Special Modifications pg 59-60)- 1 pilot, 1 crane operator, 24 passengers, 30,000 credits/5, Comment- Odd but fits criteria, 500 meter max altitude (but classified as landspeeder), techie vehicle

Sorosuub Portable Store KRI-80 ((EotE Special Modifications pg 60)- 1 pilot, 5 passengers, 60,000 credits/6, Comment- another odd techie vehicle but can fill the 'party RV' role, Max altitude 10 meters

Superhaul Model II Cargo Skiff (EotE Far Horizons pg 52)- 1 pilot, 8 passengers (without cargo), 8,000 credits/3, Comment- 50 meters max altitude

9400 Grand Wanderer (F&D Unlimited Power pg 57)- 1 pilot, 8 passengers, 35,000 credits, Comment- probably the most comfortable RV/'gypsy caravan' on the list

Arrow-23 Landspeeder (AoR Forged in Battle pg 58-59)- 1 pilot, 1 co-pilot/gunner, 4 passengers, 10,800 credits/3, Comment- no weapons in baseline model, 4 hardpoints, 5 meters maximum altitude

Walkers
AT-HCT (F&D corebook pg 256)- 1 pilot, 6 passengers, 3,000 credits/3, Comment- seems like another 'frontier' vehicle with a single open-topped bed (meaning crew & passengers always exposed to the elements)

All Terrain Exploration Transport (F&D Savage Spirits pg 56)- 1 pilot, 1 navigation/comms operator, 4 passengers, 5,000 credits/4, Comment- Exploration vehicle with unusually high number of hard points at 6.



Wheeled & Tracked Vehicles
Personnel Carrier (EotE corebook pg 252)- 1 pilot, 1 co-pilot, 4-15 passengers, 3,000/2, Comment- eh, it fits the criteria but the would recommend tracked version only for a little more all-terrain capability

Normally, a new group gets a vehicle/ship up to 120,000 credits in value. If a vehicle is less than that, can the vehicle have additions and used hard points at start as long as it does not go over this value?

These are the two options. One team will get the Guardian, and one will get the Exploration Transport.

So, to decide which gets which, we'll do it as follows:

Each Team needs to discuss and decide on how much Obligation they are willing to take on to get the Guardian Speeder. The team that offers to take on the most Obligation, will be the winner. I will give you guys until Sunday Jan 2nd, 8 AM (GMT +2) to make your offer.

The team with the lesser offer will take on the same amount of Obligation as the winning team, but will get the Exploration Transport with 3 Hard Points installed, up to a total value of 16,000 credits.

I’ll confer with Red team, but what if we volunteer to take the Walker?

Red Team has unanimously voted to take the Walker as long as there is no objection from the other team since the bidding was for the airspeeder.

Blue Team is super interested in that airspeeder, and is happy to have done business with Red Team. <3

Ok, I added 10 Obligation to each team, for the vehicle.

Red Team, you may deliberate on what upgrades you want for your Walker.

Now that it's Blue Monday, and especially blue since Betty White is gone before her 100th birthday, how's everyone getting along?

Not bad. Going back to work tomorrow.

Same here. Short work week in the US.

Good to go here as well

Will shoot a post to both threads later today

Are we still playing?

GM has been out for over 2 weeks with no warning, so it's not looking good.

I'm still here but no sign of the DM. My fingers are crossed but it isn't looking good.

Ditto, not looking good. Hope things are going alright.

Yeah I'm still on standby mode

Stay on target…stay on target…

Almost there.

in this analogy I think darth vader came and blew up this thing. If only one of us had played Luke Skywalker.

You mean Han Solo? He's the one that saved Luke from Vader.

Yes, in the movies. But this one has failed. Squad leader is dead and there is no luke skywalker to win the day.

GM has been gone over a month now, so I think we can stick a fork in this game.

Agreed unfortunately.
