Star Wars: Force and Destiny - Chronicles of the Gatekeeper

Creating your character

We will handle character creation together during Session 0, following the standard rules presented in the Force and Destiny core rulebook. I will allow any career and specialization from the Age of Rebellion 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.

Preparing for the session

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 Brandon brings to the table

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.

How Brandon creates a safe table

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.
