About the adventure
This Campaign is in the Play-by-Post format, meaning it's primarily played via text in a discord server and within a shared Virtual Tabletop. The Clone Wars are over. The Jedi are gone—branded traitors and hunted to extinction. In their place, the Empire has risen, promising peace and security while tightening its grip on the galaxy. From the glittering towers of Coruscant to the war-ravaged Outer Rim, fear has become a tool of order, and freedom a fading memory. In this time of transition and quiet tyranny, you and your crew fly under the radar—smugglers, survivors, idealists, and outlaws without allegiance or agenda. Yet the galaxy doesn’t let anyone stay neutral for long. Every job, every decision, every hyperspace jump might land you in the middle of a secret rebellion, an Imperial crackdown, or something far stranger. Rumors stir of Jedi who survived. Of weapons that should not exist. Of truths buried by war and lies. Whether running from a bounty, stirring up rebellion, or just trying to get paid, your choices will echo louder than you think. In the age of the Empire, even a crew without a cause might become a spark. What to Expect: -A character-driven Star Wars campaign with intrigue, danger, and tough moral choices. -Explore a galaxy in flux—Imperial cities, forgotten war zones, hidden rebel enclaves, and ancient secrets. -Navigate the tense years between the fall of the Republic and the birth of the Rebellion. -System: Star Wars 5e – blending D&D mechanics with rich Star Wars lore. Whether you’re a disillusioned clone, a Force-sensitive in hiding, or a scoundrel with a past, there’s a place for you in the galaxy—if you’re bold enough to take it.

About me
Well hello! Name's David - SideQuestNPC on almost everything online. Coolest nerd you'll ever meet and, oh yeah, I'm a proud Forever DM. Throughout the years I pursued a career in filmmaking, a dream from my early teens. I've also done loads of Youtube content creating, live streaming on Twitch & YT, podcasting, writing, improv, and voice acting. Now that I've reprioritized what I want to do for a living, I've really come to realize that DM/GMing really flexes all my talents and interests into one role that I truly get a tremendous amount of joy and fulfillment from. So here I am, putting myself out there to carve my new path into a really exciting future.

Creating your character
First and foremost, since we're using SW5e, players will have to visit the site (sw5e.com) and there they can not only nab themselves PDF copies of the sourcebooks, but also on the site are tools such as the character creator (beta). After joining and all the way up to the first handful of posts, I'll work with every player in making sure they get everything sorted out with their character so they're ready to take on the galaxy. Players will start at level 3. Therefore the character's backstory should also reflect that level of skill and power.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Discord, all posts and interactions will happen on the discord server. You'll also need an account for Owlbear Rodeo VTT so that you can easily regain access to the private room to see the scenes and map for the campaign. Beyond that, just having your character sheet and all the sources on the SW5e website will be enough to jump right in. It's not fully necessary to be well versed in 5th Edition to play, this campaign is open to all; beginners and veterans. Though if you are familiar with 5e (particularly 2014 version) you'll feel the direct comparisons and conversions. If inspired, go ahead and draft up that character with SW5e. I'll take a look at the sheet and more than likely you'll be good to go. No custom classes or species please.
What SideQuestNPC brings to the table
In this campaign we will utilize Discord and Owlbear Rodeo VTT for an immersive dive into the galaxy far, far away. That's where we'll use a dedicated discord server for all things SW5e with myself the GM (SideQuestNPC) as well as any other campaigns and One-Shots that I'll run (SideQuestRPGs). When combat erupts, we will use Owlbear Rodeo VTT to coordinate and eliminate the threat. What to expect? Well, it's simple. Expect to jump in and have fun. My GMing style and love for Star Wars really lends to the goal of making sure players get to enjoy their time with me in this universe. I'm not going to bog things down with overly complicated rules or set ups. It's all about getting together, picking up where y'all left off, and seeing what else the galaxy has to offer. Definitely shenanigans to be expected.

How SideQuestNPC creates a safe table
I will always provide character creation assistance for every campaign and player. Here we can take the time to discuss the player's wishes and goals, ideas for character, and learn more about the setting. There are built in tools such as the X Card in Owlbear Rodeo that will discreetly make me aware of the situation. Most of these situations can be worked out in private. After each week, I will check in with each player. This is not only a great time to just chat and share our excitement but also gives me a chance to take care of everyone in the group. This is also an excellent opportunity to reflect on any player's wishes for the rest of the campaign.
