Star Wars Saga Edition Roleplay, any interest?

[Xerianaa]

I've set up a roll20 campaign for us to use tomorrow, as it has an easy to use Character Sheets, and a few other things, here is the link.

Great meeting!

Xeriana, thanks again for investing time into us! It'll be a great learning environment with lots of fun in the mix .

[Xerianaa]

No problem Torshan, I'm really looking forward to the experience as well.

Speaking of which we might want to start thinking of a name for our little group, something we can call the Roll 20 page and our discussion form.

Since we decided the campaign will be set in the KOTOR period, we could have a throw back and call our group Saints of the Old Republic (SOTOR), which was the name of our guild in TOR.

Hmm, how about Protectors of the True Light?

[Xerianaa]

So my current thought for the game is to start it us out in the year 3,958 BBY, (Found in the KOTOR book on page 113) Tell me what you guys think about starting there.

Also the ideas for names are looking good, lets keep them coming, the only one I have so far is 3G+Dice. Any way, let me know how things are coming for you all.

Can anyone read the progress of the game and not being part of it?

[Barinath]

It has yet to start and right now, there is no way to view it later unless someone writes/records it. It can be arranged but it is not an easy thing.

I think that would be a cool time for it to start. That would mean that Darth Revan and Darth Malak are still at large.

Also, did you want us to be 100% limited to the Core, Jedi Academy, KOTOR, and Scum and Villany books (aside from species)? Because I want to make a Jedi healer/support/buff character, and there are some really cool powers and talents in some other books (such as the Healer talent tree in the Clone Wars or Enlighten force power in the Legacy Era). But I will make due without them if you don't to include those. Since you've played before, do you have any suggestions for that type of character using just those 4 books?

First off, Happy Star Wars day everyone! May the 4th be with you!
As far as healing goes, if that's the character you want to create you really need that talent tree from the clone wars. I would let you use the Healer talent tree as long that was the only thing you pulled from that book. As far as other Force powers, I would prefer if we kept to the Force powers in those four books, at least until we are past lvl 7, just to keep things simple. As far as suggestions, I'd say focus on maximizing your Force abilities, yet do not neglect having some fighting ability. Don't get anything that will help you fight with a lightsaber, more then likely it will be wasted if you don't have any feats, talents, or skills that help in that area. Rather focus on your ability to fight with the Force. Buffs are great, just like the bard in holy lands, Jedi buffs are definitely felt by the group.

So I was taking a stroll around YouTube researching some tips on Roleplaying, (Always more to learn, right? ) Anyway I found this video on creating great PC's. Normally I don't get on my players to have an amazing backstory, as most of the time the story is created as play goes on. Yet, this game will be different as we will be learning how to be great Game Masters, so I was thinking that a wonderful first step would be for each of you to write a great back story. I'll leave a link to the video and you guys can see what he has to say on creating a great character. Don't feel pressure to have an amazing backstory, but look at it as your first step to, one day soon, moving on to creating great adventures. Let me know what you all think and how you all do with your characters.
Happy Gaming.

Okay. That sounds good. And actually, as I was looking more closely it seems that the Force Adept prestige class gets a similar Force Treatment talent, so the Healer tree wouldn’t be absolutely necessary if I went for Force Adept instead of Jedi Knight. And that might be a cooler concept for my character anyways. Although the bonus talents to Vital Transfer would probably be good. The main downside is that I won't be trained in Treat Injury until I can get that talent, so I'm debating whether getting a level in Noble to train Treat Injury would be worth it, since it would be wasted once I got the talent.

I will definitely checkout that video. I am working on a backstory for my character, and now that we have a firm date picked it will be easier (since the politics and events on Manaan are pretty variable depending on whether it's before or after redeemed Revan visits). I'm thinking that being trained by the Jedi might get a Selkath exiled from Manaan or at least shunned since they are very intense about maintaining neutrality. There’s also the complication of whether he would be found and trained at a young age if he was born on Manaan. That makes me lean toward having him start as a Noble, but I feel like he would be very behind in terms of Jedi skills, feats, and force powers if I went that route. On the plus side, I would start with Treat Injury and some other skills.

I’m getting excited for the campaign; I might write some RP backstory for my character while waiting for it to start.

Who won the game? Is this a turn-based table-top strategy type game? Like Risk?
