Star Wars: Renegades [Learn to Play Star Wars RPG]

How to prepare

Players should message the Game Master either here or via Discord (renaissnceman) to get a Pre-Game Survey. Please fill this out and return it prior to Session 0 This game is being run over the Internet, so some form of Microphone/Speaker setup to send and receive voice communication is necessary. I love it when my players are willing to be 'On Camera' with me, as I like seeing my player's smiling faces. I am looking into Virtual Table Tops to run this specifically, and one called Questline appears promising and may have the ability to roll the unique dice necessary for this game. This would save players having to purchase the unique dice that this game uses, though there are conversion charts available for standard D6s, D8s, and D12s should players wish to roll their own dice. If players happen to possess a copy of Edge of the Empire, Age of Rebellion, or Force and Destiny, reading the chapters on the system and rules is helpful. If not, the GM will teach as we go along, and we will practice the system together.

What I provide

I will bring the love of Star Wars that I have had for my whole life, and half a lifetime of experience behind the Screen as a Game Master. I have an especial love for the Jedi Knights and their Sith Opposites, and am perfectly willing to set players on the path to becoming Jedi themselves, as it is one many of my own characters have started down as well. I have a deep and abiding love of this setting, and I believe the Fantasy Flight System is one of the best systems to use to experience it, and I have played it almost as long as it has been in print. I look forward to taking your characters on a wild adventure through the Outer Rim territories, and hopefully you'll do a little good out there while having a blast fighting the Empire.

Gameplay details

Despite that rather extensive list of content warnings, it is my intent to give this game a lighter tone, more consistent with a PG to PG-13 experience, akin to past and current Star Wars TV shows. Inspirations for this adventure include Solo, Rogue One, and the Clone Wars & Rebels TV Shows, to give you some idea. The PCs will begin as prisoners of the Empire, but will likely shortly free themselves and escape into a Galaxy where the Empire is at its height. The Battle of Yavin is years away and Renegades like yourselves must look out for your own, and stand up for those who cannot stand for themselves. I use Pre-Game Surveys to get to know my players and to gather Lines and Veils, which will be discussed as a Group during Session 0. I plan Breaks during game, I allow an Open Door, and please, use the X, N, and O cards. and Remind me to do Stars and Wishes.

How will character creation work

The Players and GM will work together to create the Characters using the rules in Edge of the Empire (Though Careers from Age of Rebellion and Force and Destiny will be available) during Session 0. The GM has access to just about every book in the line, many options will be available. All PCs should have an ongoing source of Obligation to an individual or organization that would be considered 'shady' at the very least. This will be discussed at Session 0. Also, every PC will also have had a run-in with Imperial Authorities that resulted in them being captured, tried, and sentenced to hard labor, as this is how you came to be on the Prisoner Transport at the beginning of the game. For those wishing to be Force Sensitive, an understanding of how you survived the Jedi Purge during Order 66 (just 14 years ago) is also required. Force Sensitive Careers and Specializations are allowed, but no Lightsaber Skill Ranks, Forms, or Kyber Crystals will be available at start, as such things must be quested for in Game.
