Lost Mine of Kessel (Late Republic Era)

Lost Mine of Kessel (Late Republic Era)

Dungeons & Dragons 5e, Star Wars 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

Recommended for players familiar with 5e and are looking to explore something familiar in structure but wholly new in execution and variation. The time period is late era republic a few years before the outbreak of the clone wars. The adventure itself is the main focus and the time period is more of the backdrop, key moments and events can happen or be impacted via character interaction but the grand battle for the CiS or Republic control of sectors will be out of our wheelhouse, at least for a while.

Party notes

A retelling of the Lost Mine of Phandelver, journey through the Outer Rim collecting new items, finding quirky NPCs, and flying through the stars as you and your crew attempt to locate an abandoned coaxium mine. What riches are waiting in remote star systems, what dangers lurk in the shadows, and when will the brewing conflict between the CIS and Republic finally boil over into all out galactic war?

On my second campaign with Halen as GM and couldn't be happier! Halen is great at allowing player agency by combining neat homebrew mechanics with RAW and encouraging you to do that silly you thought of. A good mix of voices, knowledge of storytelling, Roll20 integration and ambient music is all well blended for an immersive online experience. Couldn't recommend Halen enough, especially for a beginner or somebody returning to the TTRPG space.

Halen is a great Game Master I recommend. He strikes a good balance between playing the characters and rolling dice. His voice repertoire is fun and he's good at improvising on the fly. I am looking forward to play with Halen in the future. Don't hesitate and find out yourself!

Halen has many qualities that make him a great GM. The most important of them all is that he is a very chill and friendly person and will be very welcoming to players of all sorts of backgrounds and experiences with the game. If you are looking for a GM who can craft a great world for the players to explore and have fun while doing it, then this is the GM for you. He’s been both a player and a GM in my group and always brings his all. If you are looking for a fun adventure to join then Halen is the perfect GM for you.

Do you like fun voices? Quirky NPCs? A balance of combat, roleplay, and exploration? A DM who knows the rules but isn't afraid to shake things up for the fun of everyone at the virtual table? Someone who is genuinely nice, friendly, and supportive of everyone? Look no further. Halen has been a part of our group for quite awhile now, as both a player and a DM. He brings a lot to the table in both roles, and loves to encourage his players to play the game to it's fullest. He's open to any ideas you bring to him and willing to work with his players to make sure everyone's having a good time. Outside of the game, he's a great person to be around, and safe for those who may be a bit more hesitant to play with strangers for one reason or another.

Additional details

How to prepare

Discord and roll 20 account are all that are truly necessary. The more private of space you can play in the better, for background noise can really throw me out of my train of thought. Try to think of at least one NPC related to your character and how they tie you to the galaxy.

What I provide

I will provide any assistance in navigating source material/character creation. I have plenty of sci-fi themed tables to help get ideas flowing.

Gameplay details

SW5E is a very fluid system with an incredible amount of customization, feel free to step out of your regular archetype and try something new. Handful of house rules will be covered in session 0.

How will character creation work

Build characters independently or with my help. All will be presented at session 0 and any sort of party synergy will be sorted out all together. Characters will start at level 1 along with one rank in a deployment of their choice. The party will also be granted a freighter class starship to be customized further at a later date. Decisions about the starship will be made at session 0 via consensus.
