Star Wars: Jedi Ronin | Open World Rise of the Empire Game

Star Wars 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

-> TLDR: This campaign is about a scattered group of Jedi navigating a galaxy that wants them dead, forced to rely on each other as they carve out a purpose in the shadow of the Empire. It is ideal for players who enjoy emotional character arcs, swashbuckling action, and the thrill of being hunted while striving to keep hope alive. -> Experience a world where the Jedi Order is nothing more than a whisper, and the Force is both a gift and a curse. The Empire rules with an iron grip, Inquisitors lurk in the darkness, and the last embers of the Republic have all but burned out. But you and your allies refuse to let the light fade. Whether by blade or wit, deception or defiance, you will strike backโ€”not as warriors of an extinct Order, but as survivors forging your own path. -> What to expect as a player: ๐Ÿ”น A handcrafted Star Wars story โ€“ Every choice you make shapes your journey through a galaxy teetering on the edge of despair. ๐Ÿ”น Deep, character-driven storytelling โ€“ Explore your Jediโ€™s past, their trauma, and what they still believe in. ๐Ÿ”น Swashbuckling, cinematic action โ€“ Duels on moving speeders, daring escapes, and Force-powered heroics. ๐Ÿ”น The thrill of being hunted โ€“ Inquisitors and Imperial agents are never far behind, forcing you to stay one step ahead. ๐Ÿ”น A desperate fight for hope โ€“ Whether you save lives in secret or take up arms against the Empire, your choices matter. -> This campaign will focus on resilience, brotherhood, and what it means to be a Jedi in a galaxy that has turned against them. You are not warriors of the old Orderโ€”you are something new. The question is, what will you become?

How to prepare

โœ… Discord account and a clear microphone. Video is optional. โœ… Physical or digital dice, either works just fine. โœ… Once in the Discord server, you will be given a role that will reveal the next steps for your Character setup.

What I provide

โ˜‘๏ธ A sandbox setting tailor-made for the group that will be expanded upon as we play together. โ˜‘๏ธ A simple but powerful virtual tabletop, Owlbear Rodeo is quick to learn and versatile during gameplay. โ˜‘๏ธ A fully moderated Discord Server for use as our game hub. Complete with links to all necessary sites and reference guides. โ˜‘๏ธ Art used for tokens and locations โ˜‘๏ธ SW5e core rulebooks and expansions I bring hundreds of hours of player-driven GMing experience to the table and degrees in Creative Writing and game design to facilitate compelling narratives and create unique mechanics for the players.

Gameplay details

Players can expect heavy amounts of roleplay in many different situations and encounters. NPCs will be inclusive, varied, and engaging to interact with. Many will be romanceable if interested. During session zero we will discuss the origins of our characters. Their mechanic and narrative links to NPCs and locations as they enter the open world. This game will be run using Foundry VTT. This simple and versatile platform lends itself well to the improv-heavy, sandbox-style game I enjoy running. This, combined with Theater of the Mind, ensures total and complete freedom for the players, as anywhere they want to go can be drawn on the map and performed. To ensure a safe and comfortable environment for all players, I use the following safety tools: โœ… A consent form all members of the group must complete. This will determine Lines & Veils โœ… Session zero to discuss concerns, boundaries, and themes before the game begins โœ… At least one 10-15 minute break in the middle of the session โœ… Open door policy. Contact me any time with questions or concerns โœ… In games of darker themes I enjoy running loose and humorous games when possible. The object of the game is to have fun. ___ --> What a player will experience in this Campaign | Rating out of five skulls | Roleplaying - ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€ Politics - ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€ Tactics/Combat - ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€ Exploration - ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€ Puzzles - ๐Ÿ’€ RATING: PG-13 - R For intense violence, and descriptions of death.
