Hey people. The people you've been waiting on have posted. Time to resume activities.

Though Nivi...you're going to have to post again now, you've been addressed.

Starcraft Combat Evolved, The Clone Wars

Admiral Magnus and Count Dooku/Perelliator Away Team

Magnus briskly slips into a seat opposite Dooku and replies to the refreshment question. "Yes please." Dooku gestures to a chrome-plated droid, who leaves the room...presumably to go get some. Dookue looks back to the Admiral and speaks again. "I suppose my first question should be asking you why you are here. Not many ships come to Geonosis, it's out of the way of most hyperspace lanes...certainly not in the unique manner you have."

Magnus nods. "Our method of travel is a bit uncommon for us as well. I presume you are familiar with wormholes...to put it very simply, we've found ourselves accidentally exploring a wormhole. Though I suspect calling it a wormhole is an inaccuracy, and we are still trying to learn how to return."

Dooku nods thoughtfully. "I will of course do everything I can to help you return to your own space, should you desire. Though such aid may be rather limited soon, the current political situation of our Separatist movement is growing unstable recently. The galaxy is rapidly moving towards war. I can promise more support in exchange for your aid in our side of the escalating conflict, however. We can additionally provide logistical support and resupply as long as it is required."

Magnus looks considerate in turn. "Depending on the length of our stay, such things will be needed. However I can't agree to any such things without further details. We are new to this galaxy, I will of course need to be well informed on the state of affairs."

"Oh naturally. Of course I will provide you with a detailed report on all public information on the galactic state of affairs, and will happily answer any questions you may have on the same. You will not want to agree to anything without being fully informed."

"Indeed. Thank you for understanding."

"In the meantime, I invite you to enjoy our hospitality here. I doubt your ship is equipped to access our holonet, and at any rate I notice that our refreshments have only just now arrived." As Dooku speaks, the silver droid returns and places a number of alien, yet appetizing-looking snack-like things on a tray on the table.

Magnus nods, eyeing the tray with some interest. "Thank you, I shall."

Dooku pulls out a datapad and taps in a few commands, bringing up a few dozen files on the current state of the galaxy, including several articles on the Seperatists and their cause, and a few GNN reports on Senate affairs...among other things...and slides it over to Magnus. A silver protocol droid that came in puts some various snacks and drinks on the table as well. "I'll give you some time to read and be back shortly, should you have any questions." So saying, Dooku and his two large droids exit the room with a swish of his cape, leaving the Terrans with the files and the protocol droid.

Need a cattle prod?

@Zarkun

Oh yes please.

Nivi has posted. Let the roleplay continue!

While I get her counterpart to follow suit.

Starcraft Combat Evolved, The Clone Wars

Yeah, I've been thinking pretty much the same thing. Is Nivi still with us? Because with the exception of my finagling a post out of Magnus...which is only really holding up one character specifically, and that is one of Zarkun's...she is kinda holding up the roleplay. Which means I will have to start doing what I probably should have done long ago, and that is puppet. And I don't want to do that, because this is an important area where I would dislike puppeting if it were my character.

Starcraft Combat Evolved, The Clone Wars

I have told Nivi on Skype to reply to which I received the word "fine" as a response. So hopefully we should be able to get a reply sometime soon....

@Cyber Mama

Graci.

Starcraft Combat Evolved, The Clone Wars

Nivi, that would be you!

Starcraft Combat Evolved, The Clone Wars

Finagling is hard work.

Starcraft Combat Evolved, The Clone Wars

That said, I have recently obtained a copy of the Star Wars Roleplaying Game, and am starting my own campaign with blokes who are near me, and was wondering if anyone had any advice to give?
I am planning to have the campaign take place during the waning years of the clone wars, the game starting proper during the battle on Coruscant, the tutorial of sorts more or less being the battle on the ground and into space, and climaxing with the CIS flagship exploding, while Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Palpatine still on it.

After that I intend to have the war continue, since without the Sith lord's hands upon the strings no quick end would occur as it had.
I turn to you, my internet roleplaying friends and colleagues, for suggestions on both how to run the game, what if any other changes to the timeline I should have, and your thoughts on the ramifications of Palpatines death at that point in the story.
Mind, I still need to figure out also the exact order of events that took place on the ship, for Obi-Wan and Anakin to fail, for the ship to explode, and for Dooku to survive, and he would need to because without him the CIS wouldn't last long enough to be good villains.

So, thoughts? Or perhaps I asked the wrong people, and should deal with my problems on my own. Either way, asking doesn't hurt I hope.

@neogreggory

Well, my first thought is how do I acquire this game. But my second is to not forget other villains...like Admiral Trench, and Grand Admiral Thrawn might also be out there somewhere. And my third has yet to be thought of.

There's a word you don't see every day.

@Zarkun

True. Though of course, I use a lot of those. Like the entire Tolkein Elvish and Mandalorian languages.

But trust me, the finagling is necessary.
