It’s been three months since the destruction of the Galactic Empire’s super-weapon known as the Death Star. This victory for the Rebel Alliance helped build their reputation, now seen as an actual threat to the Emperor’s rule. This has led to a rapid infusion of new recruits to the Rebel Alliance cause. One such mass recruitment would be on the planet Pythis, a tourist world in the Mid Rim. A rebel recruiter would attempt an ambitious feat of having multiple factions join the Alliance at the same time, here on Pythis. But these rebel recruits had better be careful, as the Imperial Security Bureau is always watching.
So I want to try and run an actual dice based game on the Guild. I’ve picked Fate Core as I am familiar with it and it is simple to teach. For those unfamiliar with Fate Core, it’s a simple tabletop role-playing game that focuses more on narrative and less on crunchy rules and mountains of stats. If you’ve never read Fate Core before, you can get into it for free: as the PDF edition is pay whatever you want on the publisher’s website, even getting it for free. Here is the link, just select the PDF only drop down.
As for why Star Wars, it’s simply that I love it and I know a lot of other people feel the same. Plus I found a really good Star Wars hack for Fate Core. Which can be found here. We will be using the modified rules found in this fan hack.
Character concept wise, the only thing I’m trying to avoid is Jedi as I feel that there were way too many that survived Order 66 in the current canon. However I will allow Force using traditions, ones that the Empire has yet to crack down on. Most alien races that were actually around in this era will be allowed, as well as custom aliens, as long as they aren’t super powerful.
So if you have an interest in this, please let me know. Also it would be great if you could post whatever character concept, or concepts, that you are considering. A big part of Fate Core is the GM and players forming the setting together during the character creation process. Hopefully at least a few people would be interested in doing this.
May the force be with you.
