About the adventure
Warfare is nothing new to you; this galaxy is fraught with conflict and has an unending yield of violence. Yet, you're greeted with a familiar sight: atop the independent world of Onderon, a space battle ensues, one where a imperial frigate, on the fringes of defeat, engages a desperate rebel force; you and others awake on this rebel craft, unsure of yourself, your memories fogged and scattered but one thing is sure your a capable combatant one which this rebel cruiser needs. Together, you and this rebel force will fight your way onto the imperial craft, take out their leadership, and become war heroes. It's that simple, right? However, you feel a sense that your tale.. is just getting started.

How to prepare
🔧 Ensure you have enough time throughout the week to get the most out of this campaign. 🔧 I am available to respond in the afternoon till 11 PM EST, so I will often include 3 to 5 responses daily, if possible. 🔧 I tend to mirror the player I am roleplaying with, which can affect the amount of messages I provide and their detail unless a scene requires a certain amount of input on my end.
What I provide
🎨 Descriptive and Detailed Storytelling: I take great care in describing each action my players take, including their appearance and how the environment reacts to their actions. I enjoy making players the centerpiece of any given scenario, whether they're part of a larger canvas with their party or interacting with NPCs they've grown attached to. 🗺️ Custom Maps and Tokens: For the campaign, I use a mixture of online, free resources for maps that fit the setting. Additionally, I design maps digitally to enhance the campaign, especially for combat scenarios where I excel. I also create custom tokens for each character, NPC, and creature to provide a clear sense of appearance for individuals and creatures of the setting. 🌍 Living World: I treat each setting I GM as an open, living world. Unlike Westmarch-style campaigns, everything moves with or without the players in each session. This means NPCs, creatures, and environments are capable of growth and change, developing alongside the player characters. This approach allows for solo sessions, sister campaigns with an overarching plot, and a consistent and nuanced cast of characters, I find it provides more memorable experiences. ⚔️ Flexibility and Improvisation: Whether my players do something unexpected or a rule is misread or misunderstood, I prioritize two things: the rule of cool and improvisation. I often adapt my original plans to accommodate the whims of my players, enjoying the role of a reactive GM. I provide a variety of options and always leave the possibility for players to take their own route using the setting provided. 🎭 Player Expectations: Now, enough about me 😅. My only expectations for players are to be respectful and open-minded. Ultimately, it’s about your stories and your interactions with the world, creating your own adventures by exploring and engaging with the rich setting within the campaign. Therefore, create characters with ambition and a willingness to venture into the unknown to conquer this world and its challenges. I look forward to GM'ing for you and supporting your journey from zero to hero.
Gameplay details
Ensuring everyone feels comfortable and safe in my campaigns is my top priority. To achieve this, I use these safety tools: 🛠️Session 0: We'll have an initial session dedicated to discussing expectations, boundaries, and any personal concerns. This helps us establish a safe and inclusive environment from the start. 🔒Lines and Veils: We'll define clear lines (topics that are completely off-limits) and veils (topics that will be addressed indirectly) to maintain everyone's comfort throughout the campaign. ⏸️ Breaks: We'll schedule regular breaks during sessions to give everyone a chance to relax and reset, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all. 💬 We will be playing using the Discord platform for communication. I've custom-designed character sheets, courtesy of a friend, specifically for this campaign. 🎲 For dice rolls, we'll be using Avrae, Dice Maiden, or UnbelievaBoat. On my server, I prioritize fun and respectful communication, encouraging a creative and cooperative atmosphere.

How will character creation work
🌌To create a character for Apostles of the Force, we'll start by choosing your species; I have no restrictions on race. 🌌Then, we'll be deciding your class; this campaign is inspired by KOTR, and I intend on each character multiclassing into a Force Sensitive class in the future, such as Sentinel, Guardian, or Consular, so decide your class combination prior. 🌌Third, we'll be rolling for stats, with no system of pity, that and starting wealth. From there, purchase your equipment and fill out your description; images are fine. 🌌Finally, work out what exactly you might know about yourself, or leave it 100% vague, in which case I'll be taking creative liberties with the concept given.
