About the adventure
This will be a game using the Star Wars FFG system, and set just before the official declaration of the Rebellion. Though the core themes will involve fighting against and surviving the Empire and its soldiers, any type of character will fit! This includes freedom fighters, criminals and miscreants from the fringe, and former Jedi or Force-sensitives doing their best to hide.

About me
Heya! My name is Brandon, though everyone online calls me Dok. I'm a veteran of TTRPGs, both running and playing for about 15 years now. I got my start with some old 1st edition D&D books my father gave me when I was 12. Nowadays, I run all sorts of stuff on a regular basis, ranging from staples like D&D 5E to Call of Cthulhu to more obscure systems like All Flesh Must be Eaten. I fancy myself as quite personable, and I'm always LGBTQ+ friendly. My preferred method for communications is Discord, and I normally use Foundry as a VTT. Thanks for giving me a look!

Creating your character
Character creation will be handled during a free session zero. All books and other supplies will be provided, and we'll be using Foundry VTT for character sheets.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
We will be using Discord for communication, and Foundry VTT as a tabletop. other than this, you will not need any additional programs or software, just a decent-quality microphone!
What Dok brings to the table
I make heavy use of ambient music and background sounds, and I am attempting to get better at character voices! I tend to stick to rule of cool over a strict interpretation and RAW. I generally favor roleplay over combat when it comes down to it, but I like to include a healthy mix of both when possible! All books necessary will be provided, as will access to the VTT.

Safety
How Dok creates a safe table
I utilize the Lines and Veils system (decided during session 0) to determine what should be glossed over or outright avoided, along with an open door policy and X cards in the case that something should come up which makes a player uncomfortable. While prejudice and bigotry may show up in-character, I have a zero-tolerance policy for sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, etc. amongst players at the table.
