Star Wars: Black Sun Eclipse
Star Wars RPG by Fantasy Flight Games | Campaign
About the adventure
In the chaos of a galaxy at war with itself, dark forces move to take advantage of the confusion to grow their power and influence. With the rebels on the ropes after their defeat at Hoth, the Empire presses hard to seize the advantage in the ongoing conflict. Meanwhile, in the outer rim, a crime war is brewing between the Hutt Cartel and the Black Sun Syndicate. It is a dangerous time for a crew of misfits to try to make a living on the Edge of the Empire.
Game style
Theater of the Mind
“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.
Combat Heavy
“Combat Heavy” games emphasize the combat mechanics within their systems over roleplay or puzzle solving. There are frequent and longer battles with enemies and a greater emphasis on tactical game play.
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.

How to prepare
Players will need at least a mic and preferably a webcam for our sessions. They need to have access to discord and google drive so I can share documents with them. I will be happy to communicate with players beforehand to help them flesh out any character concepts and discover how their characters fit into the larger galaxy.
What I provide
I have all of the official Star Wars Core rulebooks books that I can make available to my players, along with dozens of community created supplements that can be used to enhance our game. I tend to primarily use theater of the mind, but will also occasionally provide maps for reference and immersion. I love getting into character and will do my best to bring NPC's to life through a variety of dialects and voices (Even when it produces hilarious results). I will also provide ambience music to set scenes and add to the ambience. We will be utilizing discord for our voice and video calls. I try to strike a balance between the rule of cool and rules as written. I want things to happen in our game that are unlikely and fantastical, but while still feeling grounded and plausible. Striking this balance can often be a compromise and that's how I like to run my games.
Gameplay details
During Session 0 we will go over the setting and potential content. I do not intend to include all of the listed content warning themes, but in a dynamic, ongoing story players may encounter evil, trials, and danger. If any of these themes do appear in my games, it is always my intent and my expectation for players that these issues be treated with respect and maturity. That being said, if any of my player express discomfort with one or more of the potential themes we may encounter, I will tailor my game to make sure they can participate in a safe and fun environment. We will establish lines and veils around any potentially disturbing content. I will maintain an open door policy and encourage my table to take at least one break during sessions lasting longer than 2 hours. Finally, we will debrief at the end of sessions to discuss how everyone is feeling, how their characters are feeling, and their stars and wishes.

How will character creation work
We will make characters as part of session 0. I am available to help players make new characters at the start this game if they need it. I am open to any characters from the core rulebooks, but we will be mainly using the Edge of the Empire core rulebook. While it's important that players create characters to fit the tone and setting of the campaign, I will also be adapting the campaign to fit their unique backstories and character designs.
