Star Wars: Nar Shaddaa Preview Extravaganza Time

[Moto Baatar]

Alright, I ordered one of the rule books (Age of Rebellion, since I like the idea of a Republic diplomat or spy). We'll see if I can figure it out!

I am a SW fan, been playing Saga with friends lately. I do know the FFG system.

My question might require a lenghty answer but here goes: How do you convert this to a PbP? I don't understand.

If I compare it to this l5r game, will Dark edge Village be Nar Shadaa and the surrounding areas be other planets? With such a big area covered how will we ever encounter other PCs?

Maybe if you link me to a previous PbP game I can see for myself.

It works quite well actually. And Dapper has things in place for movement between systems.

Here's the old forum.

Because in Star Wars, interesting people always bump into eachother, no matter how big the planets or the galaxy is.

Is Havoc Squad a thing yet in this timeline?

[Otaku Imane]

If we gained a ship from our mentor in the previous game do we still end up with the +5 obligation for a total of 10, or is that treated differently?

Can Lightsaber be used in place of melee in Huttball, or are Lightsabers (perhaps wisely) banned?

If you have a ship already you do not need to add more Obligation.

Just not a common weapon for players. Not so much banned just not supported.

In some form yes, Havoc Squad is kicking around.

That is a good question mostly the setting is going to be much larger than the last game, each forum is really massive district or quarter but still players will be encouraged to meet, join other threads and hopefully go on adventures together. There ill be moving plots that should hopefully entice multiple people to work together.

Players will have a large sandbox to work in but the majority of the action takes place in Y'toub space where Nar Shaddaa is, and specifically the Smuggler's Moon with Nal Hutta as a secondary location. Star Wars despite the vast size seems to have people constantly running into each other no matter how improbable.

My goal will be to encourage players to play together and like any other game people like to meet, talk and do interesting things just with a larger tapestry. This setting is large but I am hoping to give incentives for people to come together... be it to talk politics, discuss the next shady deal, or try to do some Huttball.

It worked well last game and I think will be even more fun this time with all the varying factions and stories.

Force Sensitives

After some consideration and thought and clarification of the rules this is the final word on being a Force Sensitive. There is only way to start with Force Sensitivity, this is by beginning with a specialization in Force and Destiny, there is a secondary way by choosing a profession from Edge of the Empire or Age of Rebellion and then spending XP to gain the Force Emergent or Force Exile universal specialization. You can only gain Force Rating from the universal specializations if you did not have Force Rating before hand. This is the only way to gain Force Rating in play if you did not start with a Force and Destiny class. Gaining a Force and Destiny specialization does not give you Force Rating, you have to gain Force Emergent or Force Exile if you decide to become Force Sensitive.

So in short, if you want to be Force Sensitive start as a Force and Destiny profession or take the Force Emergent or Force Exile Universal Specialization. Once you have a Force Rating, the only way to gain more is to either suck souls like Zash, and she isn't sharing, or gain the Force Rating talent through advancement.

Taking Both universal Force specializations will only net you 1 Force rating if you did not have Force before and 3 in total if you get all the Force Rating talents. This better reflects the spirit of the setting and eases my sanity.

Tagging for attention.

*makes notes of Havoc squad stuff for plan B*

Any idea how Destiny will be solved this time around? 1 pool for all players again?

So, being all excited for Huttball (who isn't?!?!), I was wondering:

How will Force Powers work in Huttball? Add Force-die to suitable skill-rolls? Gain Boosts?

Only if I can put money on it.

Then bribe one side to take a fall or at least figure out which side the Hutt's bribed to take a fall :p
