Full Version: Star Wars
@Players: Am I fishing for something specific or what? Any ideas at all?
@ SinN
Unless you plan to throw the game altogether, give me a Perception check.

Still need your rolls.

@ Meriss - rumors mostly, anything on what the Imps are up ot if this guard captain isn't one. As Daylin explained earlier, the previously independent planets were taken over by the Empire, and none to happy aobut it. THis owuld have been the near past rahter than decades ago like most of the Empire. So if he isn't an Imp, he might be more prone to talking.

We're getting @#$@all out in the bazaar. I think it's time to trade info with the second string,change out some players. Jeryk and Daylin are going back to the ship to do some jedi stuff, unless SinN has some objections.
Alex, I'm thinking of doing Farseeing, but I want to do a kind of ritual with it, linking with Jeryk and Rand, since they're Force sensitive. I'm not talking about adding dice or anything. I know there's no ruels for it, bt what I'm thinking is more like using their Sense attribute to "sustain" (for lack of a better word) or "Keep up" a projective telepathy that I initiate, then have Daylin do Farseeing, as a wa of them kind of "hitching along" and experiencing the Farseeing. Just something random I was thinking about. A way of showing htem a real expression of the Force and some of it's potential. Thoughts?

Please. Lets do it. 
The idea is awesome! You are definately going to be able to do it, I just don't have the stuff here at work to create something resembling order out of the idea right now. I'll get on that when I get home.
Ok, here are some thoughts on rules.
Fist
You will make the standard roles for Sense and Control on both powers.
Your Farseeing roll(s) will be modified by +5 for trying to see the recent past.
SinN and Ophis
You will need to make a Sense roll with a difficulty of 3 in order to "sustain" the link.
Multiple tries are allowed.
I like this idea.

Ok so what do I roll so we can get this show on the road.
Roll the Sense and I'll throw up an IC post I s'pose.
Before I do the IC post, I need to know if Rand/ ophis is coming along to be there.
Um, I dont think I have sense....whats the default roll to that?
[ Spoiler ]
No dice shall be thrown at you.
Fist said that your character was "Force Sensitive" which means that he can allocate 1D to any of the three Force powers. I recommend Sense. If you didn't do that, let's chat. There is no default for the Force powers.

He has Control IIRC. Can he maybe use that to "hold up" a link that I bring up rather than tap in w/ Sense?
Or could he perhaps get 10 Character Points, since we've been playing this game for quite a while Real Time?

If he has Control, I'll allow it. Is there a reason we don't want to switch it to Sense?
@Alex: Apologies. One I was trying to just keep the convo with the constable friendly till such time As I needed to pull out he Persusion or Con rolls, Two work was kicking my ass royally.
@ Meriss
Apologies for what? RL always takes precedence. Take the time you need.

@ Fist4
Any sign of your partners in crime for the Force vision?

So I now have the sense power? Let me know exactly what Im rolling so I can do this wen i wake up at 2 pm. Ive been sick for the last 2 days and neglected my posts a little. Sorry all.
I talked to Ophis the other day on IM, reminding him to post. I think we may have lost him Jim.
Your call Alex on whether or not I should post including Rand, or just go with SinN/Jeryk.

@ Fist
Let's have you run Rand for the short term. If Ophis decides that he is completely out then we will revisit the issue. Otherwise, you are go for the Force vision attempt.
@ Meriss
You are doing well with the constable. Go ahead and make a Persuation/Con roll as you see fit to extract more information from him. Please keep in mind that a failed Con roll could turn him against you. Failed Persuation just means that he can't/won't give up more information.
We are about to go through a network upgrade at work so I won't be able to post again until I get home.

Post is up. Hope it was worth the wait. Hope it does something worth while too. 
Well done on the post. All players take 2 character points. Fist, take another for the post. Working on IC response.
Groovy. Can I use them? I'd really like to raise my Control up to 2D. I just have this weird thing about the teacher being slightly more skilled than the students. Crazy, I know. That, and I'll be gone in a few weeks and it would be super to be able to up something.
- Thank you for your consideration. F4.0
It was fun to write.
We gonna get the Farseeing Future vision next? Took a lot of time to write all that up for the rolls too.
Edit: NM - Alex clarified, it was in there. I just missed it.

@Aex- what do we have in the way of communicatoin codes and the like for beaming messages back to base?
Mostly, I see comm codes as NERPS. Just tell me you encoded it and away it goes. If the Empire is going to try to break it, there really aren't any rules - that I see - for the type of encryption.
-----
As for Character Points, you can spend them in a bit. Once you collect all of your peoples back to the ship, spend away.

and if that takes two weeks Real Time ..?
Well, hmmmm. Let me think about that. We need to have a continuation plan with everyone moving about the country.
Fist, I can run Daylin for a while; however, if we have multiple characters out of commission, then perhaps putting the game on ice for a later thaw would be better?
@ All
Thoughts?

@ Fist
The pictures are truly awesome. You sir, get a cookie.
@SinN
Jedi of the old order were forbidden to marry or have other "attachments." If you didn't know that, you can change the post if you like. However, you don't have to change the post. Perhaps that is what Jeryk's master told him. The old Jedi may have been shading the truth a bit for some reason. After all, even Ben used "a certain point of view" when explaining what happened to Luke's father. It's your choice and I'll roll with it.

I figure thats what he was told. We'll just say it was a touchy subject. They had an affair or something, like In star wars episode 2 and 3.
Something like that ... 
1 character Point spent on Future Far seeing = 5

I hate spending character points on rolls , but in this case, I think it works better, sincei t adds more to the story, and reflects personal investment and pushing his abilities as far as they can go.

I deleted his extrenous posts. Isn't it handy having a nearby admin-type person.
Not sure how to describe going about it IC just yet. Daylin is first planning on running Jeryk's DNA so that he can get a sample to compare to Pelagia lines. Needs to go all covert like for a while, find some of the seedier parts of town, and perhaps leave planet while the others are getting themselves into trouble. Obviously the star port is fully Imperial controlled, so what he needs to do is get to one of the planets where things are a little bit dirtier and a little bit messier, such as one of the mining worlds, where his "old hand" apearance would fit right in.
From there, pay a low rent slicer to run the scan of the blood against Pelagian blood lines, and then convince him that "These were not blood samples you were looking at. They were very boring strains of plant life. You should forget all about it." ala Jedi hand waiving. Then once he's got some sort of confirmation, start diong some digging through the underworld about House Pelagia, and who does what. IF they're a down as they seem, they've got to be doing some sort of weapons smuggling or something. Mecetti no long has the strength of the Empire behind it, which means that Pelagia will have a chance to return to it's former station. But only if Mecetti doesn't see them coming.
So... Pelagia will have to build up it's power in secret. meaning weapons smuggling. If someone is Pelagia is doing smuggling, then the'yre the ones that are willing to take some more risks. So they would be the best ones for him to come to with a long lost scion and Jedi trainee. For people in their position, looking for allies, the New Republic/ Rebel ALliance may be just what they need, especially with some legendary Jedi, who are afforded the same respect as nobles in the sector (And Daylin happens to be one) And a great show of faith could certainly be helping them with an investigation of the dock yards...

@ Fist
Sounds good to me. Should I read this as a retirement from the game (to the background) once you ship out?
Also, this almost reads as if you are thinking the game is set post Endor.
@ All
What do you need?

Honestly I keep forgetting what year it is since we dropped out of Thrawn, which was why I put it as "New Rpublic/Rebel Alliance". Just thought I'd cover all my bases. What year is it in relation to the Battle of Yavin (since that's the most frequent measuring stick I see used).
I'm not quite out yet, so I'm happy to keep posting w/ Roleplaying and such. I just wanted to set up a graceful exit (stage left) until I'm able to segue back in later. Let you know what I wanted to work on to give you something for Daylin to be doing.

Alex - Raised Daylin's Control by one and took a power (Return Another to Conciousness).
Basing Daylin's apprehension on this:
Basing Daylin's apprehension on this:
QUOTE (Tales of the Jedi pg 135)
An individual who decides to take on Force students must tread carefully. The responsibilities associated with such a positionmay not become apparent until it is too late. An instructor must constantly watch for pupils with a propensity for seeking the easy path to power, who do not possess the will to resist the temptations of the dark side. Empowering such a weak souls can have dangerous consequences - for both the instructor and the galaxy as a whole.
All Force teachers develop a permanent relationshipwith their students- The Jedi Way demands it. If a Jedi turns to the dark side, her instructor must expend every effort to return her to the light, or to destroy her if efforts to sever the dark side's grip fail. The taint of darkness does not easily wash away, and cannot be hidden from Jedi Masters. Any Knight who commits an act of evil knows to expect a visit from his former (or current) mentor in the near future.

We are roughly at 2 ABY for the curious. Between the first and second movies for those that are not as fanatic about Star Wars as I am.
@ fist
Sounds good.
@ Meriss
Take a Character Point for your use.
@ All
You may spend your Character Points if you'd like. Not technically by the rules, but forum games rarely are.

@Alex: Mila Gratzi appreciate it. Thought a little IC pathos was due.
Alex - got it. So we're smack in Shadow of the Empire zone, in the meat of the rebellion. Groovy.
Character POints expenditure listed. If we do everything BtB we'd never get everything done on a forum. THat's why I don't worry too much about the "when"s in my games either. Much easier to up grade and roll on.
@ Meriss - glad to see Daylin isn't the only one with mental health issues.
@Alex - For the moment, Daylin is still on the ship. He's getting his gear together, prepping to travel light, take what he can of a medkit with him, and DL some star maps of Tapani to a datapad so he can find his eay around a bit on his own. Rand and Jeryk just went back out, and someone needs to stick around to fill Jannel in on what's going on.

Sounds about right. If inspiration strikes you, feel free to create a post of some species.
Sooo.... what, is the new plan to save me from missing out by not posting anything?
Your suggestion about being off in the background dealing with Jedi-type matters seems to be reasonable. Assuming that the rest of the crew stays with things while they move about then I can pick up and play Daylin a bit. Does that work for you?
Yeah that works for me. It's the rest of the crew that I'm worried about.
For the map question, what exactly are you looking for? I see where you want "an older access path or sub system that requires infrequent maintenance" so let's have you roll a blanket Perception.
