About the adventure
The war is over! Word has just reached the Jedi Temple: Master Kenobi has slain General Grievous on Utapau, days after Count Dooku fell to Anakin Skywalker's blade. For the first time in three years, the halls fill with laughter. Padawans trade rumors that their Masters will soon come home, and younglings chase each other through the corridors. Only the Council members, grim-faced, do not seem to celebrate. That night, the Temple burns. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Tales of the Dark Times is a short campaign about survival against a power far too strong to fight. You won't defeat the Empire or save the Jedi Order. Your goal is to get out alive, stay alive, and disappear into a galaxy that now hunts people like you. The story follows your group from the burning Temple, through the depths of Coruscant, and out into the Outer Rim. The tone is tense and personal, and often desperate. Hiding is usually smarter than fighting, and running is better than both. Every lightsaber you ignite leaves a trail.

About me
Hello there! I'm Pablo and I've been playing RPGs since I was a kid, and running games for more than 20 years. I have experience with D&D (3.5e & 5e), Pathfinder (1e & 2e), World of Darkness, Mutants and Masterminds, Star Wars FFG and more. I specialize in customizing pre-written adventures turning them into unique and memorable experiences. I bring the story for you make it yours! What my Players say about me: "...extremely collaborative to the point that I believe he spends more out of game hours each working with the players than game hours GMing a session (and he definitely isn't shorting our sessions)..." "...amazing with everything, one shots, full campaigns, including all the wacky and serious ideas we have..." "Couldn't ask for a better guy to run my game." "Friendly, polite, and very helpful." "...one of the best Gamemasters I have gotten to play with, ensuring everyone is having fun..." "What's nice about playing with Pablo is that he doesn't make you feel embarrassed if you mess up or forget something. I'm shy but I feel comfortable asking questions and trying things." I run games both in English and Spanish.
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Who you are: a Padawan or a newly knighted Jedi who was inside the Temple when the attack began. Your Master is probably at the front with the clone armies, and you don't know if they are still alive. Career: every character uses the Jedi career. F&D career: each player also chooses one Force and Destiny career (Consular, Guardian, Mystic, Seeker, Sentinel or Warrior). That career's specializations count as career specializations for you. Starting specialization: either Padawan or one specialization from your chosen Force and Destiny career. Morality is in play. The dark side is closer than it has ever been, and fear and anger are easy to find. Think about: why you were at the Temple and not in the field, who your Master is, and which one thing you grabbed before you ran.
