Star Wars RPG FFG: Rising Rebelion

Creating your character

Character creation will be conducted during session 0. We will go over premise, lore, and character creation guide lines. For newer players I will assist them during this time as well.

What Thomas Jarvis brings to the table

In my games, I focus on creating a cinematic and immersive experience where players feel like they are part of a Star Wars story rather than simply rolling dice. Players can expect a narrative-driven campaign with meaningful character choices, strong roleplay opportunities, and tactical combat that reflects the chaos and danger of the galaxy under Imperial rule. I embrace the Rule of Cool when it enhances the story, while still respecting the mechanics that make the Fantasy Flight Games system shine. I make extensive use of ambient music, thematic soundtracks, and visual scenes through Foundry VTT to help bring each location and encounter to life. Combat encounters are dynamic and cinematic, with enemies that react intelligently and environments that matter. Every character in the group will have opportunities to shine. I work closely with players to weave their backstories into the campaign, ensuring that personal motivations, rivalries, and relationships become part of the unfolding story. My table is welcoming to both new and experienced players. If you are new to the FFG Star Wars system, I will happily help guide you through the mechanics so you can focus on enjoying the adventure. You can expect: • Cinematic storytelling inspired by Star Wars films and shows • Tactical and narrative combat encounters • Immersive music and visual scenes • Character-driven storytelling and personal story arcs • A respectful and collaborative table environment Whether you are a seasoned smuggler, a rebel freedom fighter, or someone just beginning their journey in the galaxy, my goal is to make every session feel like another chapter in a living Star Wars story.

Homebrew rules

Stimpack / Healing Action Adjustment Characters may still use a maneuver to apply a stimpack as normal. However, a character may also spend their action to perform a Medicine check (Difficulty 2) to provide additional medical treatment. This represents taking time to properly treat wounds rather than relying only on quick stimpack use. Story / Mission Based XP Experience is awarded at the completion of missions or major story milestones rather than strictly at the end of each session. Some missions may take multiple sessions to complete. XP is granted once the objective or narrative arc is resolved. Narrative Dice Contributions Players are encouraged to suggest outcomes for Advantage, Threat, Triumph, and Despair when appropriate. Final interpretation rests with the GM to maintain pacing and narrative consistency.

How Thomas Jarvis creates a safe table

Table Safety Creating a safe, respectful, and welcoming table environment is important to me. Before the campaign begins, we will discuss expectations during Session 0, including tone, themes, and player comfort levels. I use Lines and Veils to establish clear boundaries for content players may want to avoid or keep off-screen. These can be shared privately if players prefer. During play, players are always free to speak up if something becomes uncomfortable. We can pause, adjust the scene, or move past content without disrupting the flow of the game. My table emphasizes mutual respect and collaboration. Harassment, discrimination, or disruptive behavior is not tolerated. The goal is for everyone at the table to feel comfortable contributing, roleplaying, and enjoying the story together.
