About the adventure
This campaign is the adventure module Beyond the Rim, published in 2013 by Fantasy Flight Games. Build a crew of smugglers, outlaws, mercenaries, and general ne'er-do-wells and set course for the Outer Rim in search of treasure beyond the reach of the evil Galactic Empire! Beginners welcome! LGBTQ+ friendly. Synopsis: Smugglers and treasure hunters swap tales of the Sa Nalaor, a Separatist frigate that vanished at the end of the Clone Wars carrying a valuable cargo. You might have heard of it, depending on the company you keep. A derelict message pod offers clues to the final fate and whereabouts of the Sa Nalaor, and you've been hired to find it. But it's dangerous out here on the Rim, and you aren't the only one looking for the lost ship, and your journey will take you beyond the reaches of charted space and into the unknown...

How to prepare
Make sure to have a decent microphone—a headset mic works great. Create a Discord account if you don't already have one. I am happy to teach rules as necessary, so you do not need to read them yourself unless you just want to.
What I provide
We'll use a Discord server for communication, where we'll have access to a dice bot to handle rolling and other things. I can also set up a Roll20 for the game if we decide we want one during Session 0, but we can also stick to theater of the mind if that's what the group chooses. I am a long-time GM, game designer, and Star Wars fan with tons of campaigns under my belt. Player fun comes first, and Rule of Cool often trumps Rules as Written. I like to offer exciting, dynamic adventures with challenging combats and interesting dilemmas, and adapt toward what engages a group most. I've written official content for this game, published by Fantasy Flight Games (though not this adventure). I was also part of the Star Wars actual play Heroes of the Hydian Way during its second and third seasons.
Gameplay details
We will do a Session 0 to create characters and discuss vibes for the game. I'll also send out a Lines & Veils document prior to Session 0 and maintain a list of topics that should be treated carefully or avoided entirely.

How will character creation work
We will handle character creation together during Session 0, following the standard rules presented in the Edge of the Empire core rulebook. I will allow any career and specialization from the Edge of the Empire line, and most any alien species from the entire Star Wars FFG line (with a few exceptions if they're super weird). I am happy to share any books people do not have themselves. Feel free to come to Session 0 with ideas about what you want to play. If you aren't sure, or you are a new to the system, we can brainstorm fun characters during Session 0 together.
