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! Six Months Later... The Crew of the FarStar is running on fumes. They've experienced loss, defeat, betrayal, horrors and death in the hunt for Moff Sarne. But, they're nearly to the end of the journey. Tensions have never been higher as they zero in on Moff Sarne's location and the source of the DarkStryder technology! ******** 🚀 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 that's been hastily sent off to chase down a rogue Imperial Moff who's been gathering strange technology from the unknown reaches of the galaxy. ⌚ This game is loosely based on the DARKSTRYDER campaign from West End Games. Much of the command staff of the original campaign has been replaced with Player Characters and NPCs from our long-running D6 campaign. 🎲 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 an intense Star Wars campaign that takes as much inspiration from Alien, Event Horizion, MOTHERSHIP, and more as it does from the Galaxy Far, Far Away. ******

About me
Hey y'all, I'm Chris. I'm a late 30-something Game Master from and currently living on the edge of Hillbilly Nation in the state of Kentucky. For a little north of the past 20 years I've usually been actively running, or thinking about running, some sort of tabletop roleplaying game. If you're at my table, I want you to feel like you can relax, have a good time, and get engaged in creating a fun experience that makes your 3-ish hours with me a highlight of your week. Everything else is just set dressing.

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! 📅 The FarStar is hot on the trail of Moff Sarne in the uncharted Kathol Outback! After loosing several crewmembers to the horrors of Arris IV, they've set down on the seemly peaceful Imperial-loyalist world of Gandle Ott to update their hyperspace maps and seek out information on the Moff... 🎲 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 technician and self-trained Jedi. 💼 Khev Nota, Human white-collar criminal turned revolutionary. 🦖 Dralla-Ka, Barabel force-sensitive archeologist and Jedi scholar. 🎶 Devis Nightswimmer, Alderannian diplomat and music archivist. 💎 Eins-Lom, a crystalline Shard pilot who operates a droid chassis.
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.
