About the adventure
It's two years since Empire Day and Order 66. Two years since the Republic and Jedi order fell. Your Jedi research team were caught on the edge of the galaxy when you were betrayed and have spent nearly every moment since on a desperate quest to keep the secrets of the Force (and your team!) out of Imperial hands. You thought you were the only ones left until you were rescued from the clutches of the Inquisition by former Jedi Quinlan Vos. Now he's given your team a new mission - not only saving the lost knowledge of Force users across the galaxy, but to help him build an underground railroad called The Path... ==================================== This game is a new Episode (and a fresh start) for an existing campaign with a regular group. As some members have moved on, it's the perfect time to get new players involved in the story! We're very beginner-friendly, and you will get the choice of starting as either a starter or a more experienced character - you won't be at a disadvantage. The existing characters are all linked to the Jedi order in some way, but you don't need to play a Jedi - all careers and specialties are welcome. Your first session with the group will be free, and you will get an intro session with me, the GM, to discuss your character and help them (and you!) get the most out of the adventure.

About me
Hi everyone! I'm Dan and I love great stories. I've played all kinds of tabletop games over the years and I especially love the magic that roleplaying games create. I loved learning different systems and genres while exploring RPGs, which meant I usually became the GM! Fast forward, and I am now a grown-up (allegedly!) and have spent over a decade as a coach and facilitator for teams. In recent years I've dived back into the tabletop world, and I discovered that my love for facilitation and collaboration made me enjoy and excel at being a GM that much more. So come and play some games with me - I can promise you action, empathy and games that have all my love and experience poured into them!

Creating your character
You will need to create a new character and discuss it with me before your first session. This will allow me to help your character fit in with the setting and other team characters. This can be done async over Discord, or a free mini 'session 0' with me before the game. You have the choice of starting a new character or one with more experience - both options are still viable in the Star Wars system so you won't be at a disadvantage. I recommend a new character if you are relatively new to the Star Wars roleplaying game. We generally follow the new Star Wars canon where possible, allowing for opportunities to re-canonise Legends content if it doesn't conflict with the current canon.
The team are currently undertaking a raid on Nar Shadaa that has gone wrong. It's the perfect time to weave a new player into the mix!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a stable, reasonably fast internet connection, as well as a decent microphone (I recommend a good headset or desktop mic). Cameras are not required. Once you are accepted into the campaign you will receive the invite link to the Discord server, where we can sort out getting you set up on the VTT. By no means necessary (but fun anyway!), you can watch some Star Wars! I recommend Andor, the Obi-Wan Kenobi limited serial, and Rogue One - our campaign is all about the birth of The Path and The Rebel Alliance. Enjoy!
What Dan brings to the table
We use the Foundry VTT hosted on Forge, so your experience can be quick, stable and reliable. I try to make the experience immersive, creating backdrops and maps for the story alongside themes music and sound effects. I do my best to fill NPCs with personality and bring the Star Wars universe to life. I provide immersive supporting information, crib sheets, and have access to all rules books and supplementary expansion books. Player fun is the most important part of the game, and the Star Wars system is perfect to allow players to help co-create the world with me. In addition, you'll get access to my Discord, which allows you to connect with me and other players outside of game time, and even make rolls. This is especially useful for things like crafting so that game time is spent on roleplay and action. We also use the Discord server for game session comms;

How Dan creates a safe table
We use XNO Cards within the VTT, and will discuss Lines and Veils before your first session with the group. We are not using the standard rules for Force skills and talents, and instead are using an adaptation of the Genesys magic rules which allows for more opportunity for creative use of the Force, and easier investment of your XP.
