Star Wars: Edge of the Empire

[Legion-114]

Hi guys, I have recently gotten into the Edge of the Empire roleplaying game and love the scope and freedom that it brings. I would like to try and capture that same essence and attempt to broadening it across the forums so there can be multiple groups active.

While the RP will be based heavily on the source material I would also like to try an adapt it so players aren't heavily reliant on the GM or virtual dice throws. - Yet their character starts are still important.

I'd be interested. I've contemplated this before myself but everything stands or falls with how you incorporate the RPG system with a play-by-post (which just slows things down immensely).

What I may do is introduce the 'common sense' rule in which a player's stats is mingled in with their ability. For example, an astromech droid isn't going to be doing barrel rolls from cover to cover whilst shooting. But players with agility and Cun can.

So this would be Narrative based or like the traditional EoTE dice rolls?

I'd prefer it to be narrative based over dice rolls so the game can flow and we don't get stuck with the issues that the 7 different dice types would bring to an online setting. But still incorporating the essence of EotE like the Far Horizons supplement pack so players can own businesses etc.

I would be very interested in a Star Wars RP. I have no experience with Edge of the Empire, should I know all of the rules before I join?

EotE is simply a tabletop rpg that uses the player's skills and environment to determine what dice are thrown, force users are extremely rare, I believe that there is actually only one official one in the entire game and even they are only classed as being force sensitive and not a fully trained jedi.

However there are quite a few different classes and races, each with their own unique backgrounds and abilities.

The story is a make as you go, so you don't need to known much as I will be posting all the vital info anyway.

I'd be interested. So this is kind of like D&D with a loose story?

Yes.

All characters for one reason or another have a beef with Temo the Hutt and have to find a way off Tatooine. Where you go from there is up to the will of the players.
