About the adventure
The galaxy as you know it—reborn in a world of magic, kingdoms, and ancient prophecy. The Jedi Order, once guardians of balance, now serve as mystic knights wielding enchanted blades. Their citadel towers over the great capital of Coruscant, where kings and senators weave a fragile alliance to keep the realm united. But shadows stir. Whispers of the Sith—banished sorcerers thought long dead—echo across the land. Trade guilds tighten their grip on vital resources, armies march under banners of greed, and the fate of empires teeters on the edge of a war unlike any seen before. You are part of this living legend: a knight of the Jedi Order, a cunning rogue, a mystic scholar, or something far more dangerous. Will you uphold the light in an age of darkness, seize power for your own, or watch the kingdoms burn as destiny unfolds? What to Expect: A bold reimagining of Star Wars in a high-fantasy setting, where technology is replaced by magic and steel. Classic factions and characters—Jedi, Sith, Republic, and Separatists—transformed into medieval powers. Familiar stories told with new twists, choices, and consequences. Heroes wield magical blades, ride mighty beasts, and command elemental forces in epic battles for the realm. The Clone Wars is upon the horizon. Lightsabers become runeblades. Starships become sky galleons. And the Force… remains eternal. Will you bring balance to this age—or plunge it into shadow? Personal Note: This idea was really brought to a complete vision with the brilliant work of Artwork by the Amazing Jake Bartok: https://www.artstation.com/jbartok whose art can be seen in the Medieval Star Wars music by Samuel Kim Music https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9PLUrw0CbcSx6jZ5sO1W8wY_P0QsiVkb&si=wYZWsopRccgEcRVP

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.
View Profile →Character creation
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 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 realm. 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
Just having your character sheet and all the sources on the SW5e website will be enough to jump right in on our discord server where all the necessary channels and tools will be present. Even a private channel with a direct one-to-one means with the GM. 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 to dive into the realm far, far away. The discord server is 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 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 lend 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.
Homebrew rules
So for this campaign specifically it's going to turn a few things on its head, droids are now enchanted constructs made out of wood and or stone, very rarely metal. Lightsabers are rune inscribed glowing swords, blasters are magically embedded weaponry. So on, so on. I'm sure you get the picture. It's the events of Star Wars prequels but in a high fantasy medieval blend. It'll still look and sound like Star Wars, but with a twist.

How SideQuestNPC creates a safe table
I will take the time to discuss the player's wishes and goals, ideas for character, and learn more about the setting. Each week, I chat and get a chance to check up on everyone in the group. This is also an excellent opportunity to reflect on any player's wishes for the rest of the campaign.
