About the adventure
A Republic Venator-class Star Destroyer investigating a Separatist installation in the Outer Rim transmitted a single distress signal and then went dark. You are part of a clone commando strike team that has been deployed to the board the warship, determine what happened to its crew, and secure the ship so that the Republic doesn't lose a viable asset to Separatist forces. This Star Wars one-shot is going to place you in the armor of an elite Republic special operations squad set during the time of the Clone Wars. You will board a vessel and find answers in a mission that may call for stealth, slicing into Republic systems, breaching doors, and more, while your squad completes its objectives. The game is designed to feel like an episode of The Clone Wars, expect a session that is fast-paced, cinematic, tactical, and driven by teamwork. This single session is welcoming to both new and experienced players. Five clone trooper pre-generated characters will be provided, and the dice system will be explained as we play. If you enjoy Star Wars and squad-based episodic missions, this one-shot is for you.

About me
David the Strong grew frustrated, stood up, and said, "You know what? Forget this puzzle. I'm going to break down that door!" He climbed up the stone ledge, he swung his hammer, and the door exploded with thunder magic, blasting him off the ledge and onto the puzzle on the floor, which triggered a fire trap. And with everyone at the table crying from laughter, that's how David the Strong died in a one-shot. A little about me, my name is Zaya, I'm a teacher, I've been a GM for TTRPG's for over 20 years now, and am lucky to have completed a majority of campaigns that I've helped start. You will find me running published content like Curse of Strahd, Lost Mine of Phandelver, and Star Wars EotE: Scum & Villainy, but with heavily modified story beats to shape the players background into the narrative. My campaigns typically last 1 to 2 years and they are sandbox / open world main quests that are filed with: side quests, tactical combat with boss phases, building and maintaining strongholds, relationship leveling system for recurring NPCs, music, character voices, background art, dynamic lighting, unique NPC tokens and creature types, puzzle handouts, magic items wishlists, lifestyle bonus system, downtime activities, homebrew rewards, and more. I'm just starting out on here so I'll be running a heavily modified Lost Mine of Phandelver mini-adventure. Once I get established, I would like to do some more long-form campaigns like Curse of Strahd. Be sure to check out my games list and if there's a spot open then come have a seat at the table and let's unleash our imagination together.
