About the adventure
🏳️🌈 You are welcome here. ******** A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... Four years after the Battle of Endor, the struggle against the remnants of the Empire continues. A New Republic task force has been dispatched to the distant Kathol sector to topple rogue warlord Moff Sarne. During the battle, the New Republic discovers mysterious artifacts known as "DarkStryder technology." After Sarne escapes, the New Republic launches a hasty mission aboard one of the rogue Moff's own vessel to bring him to justice! ******** 🚀 Star Wars: Darkstryder is the second campaign in our ongoing Star Wars D6 table! Come join an experienced of rag-tag adventurers as you take on roles of crew members aboard the FARSTAR, a heavily modified CR-90 Corvette. ⌚ This game is set four years after the destruction of the second Death Star. Canon is loosely adhered to and often mixed with Legends and non-canon content. 🎲 D6 is an older system, but it still checks out. Experience an system that helped forge the foundation of much of the expanded Star Wars lore! 💺 This is a comfortable cozy Star Wars game aimed at unwinding and having fun! ******

About me
I'm Chris, and I love doing this. I think rules are neat and there to be used and modules are fun and the product of a lot of hard work, but I've always been much more interested in the stories that find their way into being by virtue of creativity and dice coming together in fun and dramatic moments. That's why I love doing this. So come hang out, create a character, and discover what story they have to tell -- together. *** I sometimes post things on BlueSky. I don't really use any other social media these days: https://bsky.app/profile/christhewicker.bsky.social. **** I'm also available for events and games in the local Lexington, KY area!

Creating your character
Characters are created via the standard Star Wars D6 2nd Edition Revised & Expanded ruleset (available for free online). There is an automated generator in the system to help with creation for new players. This game is set during the galactic civil war but nothing is off the table: Smuggler, Imperial Traitor, Rebel Spy, Holodrama Star, Bounty Hunter, Ex-Jedi... the only rule that I have is that you play a character who's sympathetic(ish) to the former Rebel Alliance and is willing to work with other characters.
🌟ONLY ONE SEAT LEFT! 📅 A New Arc is about to begin as the crew says goodbye to some old friends. This could be the last job for the crew of the Array, and all of them might not survive this one... 🎲 Star Wars d6 Characters are closer to normal people (like the characters in Andor or Luke Skywalker at the beginning of his journey) than the super heroics of more prominent characters. It's a deadly system that rewards player creativity and ingenuity, rather than numbers on a sheet. -Current Characters- (Listed in order of creation.) ✨ Kosha Nyree, a Togruta Sentinel. A untrained Force-sensitive and talented technician on the run from the Empire. 💢 Vex Chos, a former clone trooper and modern-day Death Watch Cult Mandalorian. 💼 Khev Nota, White-collar criminal, slicer and conman. His crimes becoming considerably less white collar by the day. 🦖 Dralla-aka, Barabel force-sensitive archeologist and Jedi scholar. Big teeth. 🕵️♂️ Lt. Tom Rainquest, Rebellion liaison and former smuggler.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You'll need a dedicated microphone, a quiet space with minimal background noise, a computer or laptop capable of running Discord, and a modern internet browser such as Firefox or Chrome in order to access the VTT. Webcams are welcome but not required.
What WickerGames brings to the table
I'm bringing a VTT setup tailored for Star Wars D6 play along with music and some sound effects to enhance immersion. Characters can be maintained independently or via the VTT. Games will be run using Theater of the Mind and tactical combat using Foundry's VTT system with additional modules for automation, immersion, and user-friendliness.

Safety
How WickerGames creates a safe table
You are expected to behave like mature adults who have shown up to a friend's house for dinner. Personal attacks against one another for any reason are not tolerated. During the game, an X-card safety system is in-place, which will send a message to the GM exclusively. All players will be provided a link to fill out a copy of the Monte Cooke consent in gaming checklist prior to their first session. This is to help establish content boundaries at the table and help prevent real-life strife from a made-up game. There will be absolutely no instances of sexual assault or sexual harassment. Star Wars is a big complicated thing that's been around for a long time. It means a lot of things to a lot of people and those things might not agree with your version of Star Wars. That's fine, but this is not the place to compare movies, eras, or actors -- this is an expression of love for the genre, not a platform to explain why you didn't like a certain movie/show/book. Players who go out of their way to violate these terms will be subject to dismissal from the campaign. ******** Every session includes about 10-15 mins of table-talk at the beginning to get us in the Star Wars mood, at which point I expect the game to mostly engaged, but relaxed. Halfway through the session, we always take a 15 min break. When we get back there's a brief check-in before the game resumes.
