Looking for people to discuss this up and coming rpg.  Its been around for
quite some time, but with the seeming rebirth of Starwars Fandom the game is
taking a sharp swing in the upwards direction.

43 responses total.

I have actually played it, it was fun while it lasted.

Is this Fandom thing a change of company or just some extension of the system?
I have played Star Wars for 3/4 of a year at a role-playing club at my
college.  I believe that I mentioned this before, but my character is a human
bounty hunter, also the pilot of a peacekeeper class stardestroyer which has
been taken over by the rebillion - all I can say is, "It has been . .  .
intersting!"

I've played it, sorta.....It was during my eighth grade year, the 8th grade
took a trip, by bus, from Chelsea to Wash DC...The person that i sat next to
had the books with him, and sort of taught me how to play....It was basically
just a time-killing campaign, though, no real plot, just running around fightin
the Empire's ships...

I'v played. I attempted to run a campaign, was very well planned, but was too
strict. didn't leave much room for characters to "wing it". Lost interest 
quickly, sorta because no-one was a true start-wars fan.

Star Wars is good, though I'll admit I've never played it straight.  
I have used the system as a player in a Pulp game, but would probably
prefer the interpritive mythical feel of Everway (with some more science 
fiction based vision cards) for Star Wars, since whle the original 
Costikian gamesis good, it's a bit too deterministic, and doesn't 
really capture the mythical feel of the movies.

I've played it a couple of times; run it once.  It's fun, although it's
set up so that it's a little harder to role-play than some games.  Still
possible, though - one campaign I was in was truly excellent in that
respect.  Ignore the - one-on-the-off-colored-die-means-you-screw-up
rule in the new version, though.  We eventually replaced it with the
Shadowrun critical failure rule.

I've never found the system to be harder to roleplay in -- it's simple,
threfore easy to roleplay with. But the one-on-the-off-diue rule sounds
incredibly stupid -- it means that even a jedi master wil screw up one time out
of 6.

So, is someone going to start a campaign or whatever you call it? I can GM if
absolutly no one else wants to.

I it's on grex count me *OUT*!

Wellll?!?!?! woops.

Dismiss that last response. was having problems reading Eld's response so had
to enter something

count me out to!!!

WHAT"S WRONG WITH THE WILD DIE RULE?!?!?!?!?!?

Wuff da.
I would join, but with a system like Star Wars, I'd rather play it in person.
(and personna)

I like the wild die rule. but if we get a group together, we should take a 
vote.
(my offer to GM still stands. I own the sourcebook. and know someone who 
has almost every add-on book)

<kain will play>

<bjorn malicously tickles kain>

Yay. we have people!!!

So. Do we wait for more people, start now, or start now and let people join
in the middle of the campiagn? and who will GM?

<kain doesn't know>

Well, I would play, but I have one week until exams and lots of papers due
before then, so, if you're allowing people in the middle of the campaign,
then I'd be happy to play, starting a little over a week from today...BTW,
this is in person, right?

So, what are we waiting for? Let's play. (SNAFU gets impatient sometimes, 
like now!)

Rules make 

Ok. yup. Whatever. this is another buffer so-I can-read the last response 
thing

Question: A Light Repeating Blaster : How amny times a round can it be fired?

starwolf, how about we start playing before we figure that out? that way, I
(or whoever else GMs) will ahve the book, and if you don't have one, it's nopt
a problem. But I will check, and I will have info for you tomorrow. My rule 
book has gone AWOL. 

MUST START!! SNAFU want's to blow up stormtroopers!!!!

A T-21 Light Repeating Blaster can fire as many times per round as you want 
or have ammo for. But I think (or know) that there is a penalty for doing
more than one thing in a round.
(Don't quote me on that one 'till I do serious rule reading. But It's pretty
sure.)

Snafu, that's true for *any* blaster weapon. In that case, why call it a
*repeating* blaster?

Snafu has checked his rulebook, and yes, for any amount of actions numbering 
more than 1, you perform EVERY action that round at -xD where x is however
many actions more than 1 you have. E.G. if you have 2 actions, you do both
at -1D. 3 actions, -2D, 4 -> -3D, etc. 

Are we going to play this on party? here? a new item without all this opening
junk? in person? any combination of the above? And when do we start? and who's
GM? Me? anakin? Mneme? Ariel? starwolf? who wants to?

And I have NO idea starwolf. It hust is. all I care about is the fact that it
does 6D damage.

A Heavy blaster rifle does 5D and it isn't nearly as cumbersome!
Give it an Advantage, here!

<kain makes a suggestion>
Start time:whenever we get things made
Gm:SNAFU
Place:New item
Use of this item:Post how to make characters and use this as a character
creation log

Okay, if Snafu is GM'ing, SNAFU, what kind ogf game do you want to run?
I'm up for making a character for this, but I kinda need some insparation/
framework (or I could draw some tarot cards, I guess).

I can run whatever you folks want. It can be Rebel alliance based, new republic
based, or anything in between. You can be members of the alliance/republic, or
not. I'd rather do not, but if you absolutly want to be members, I can  work
with it.

<kain is confused so he'll let other ppl decide.

I have a nice campaign that will work well, either Alliance or non, but I'd
prefer non. I can start doing character sheets soon, if no-one has any
objections to me GMing. Last call? Please mail me your character race & any
questions, an I'll work the begining sheet, which I'll then send to you for
adding of  starting dice, background, etc.

I don't remember any of this, remind me in school.
