Beyond the Rim - A Star Wars Adventure for Beginners

About the adventure

Outside of a busy spaceport, an old man approaches you after taking notice of your ship and crew. "Have you heard of the Sa Nalaor, the long-lost Separatist treasure ship? Smugglers, spacers and explorers alike have told stories of its disappearance over 20 years ago. Ahh, it was a different time then, the good ol' days of The Republic..." The old man coughs terribly, "I've fought battles alongside my brothers across countless moons, but I'm afraid the sun will be setting on me soon. I've learned of an opportunity to find this missing ship. Tales of the treasure aboard, and just what happened to it, vary from spacer to spacer. What if I told you that I know where it is? I need a ship and crew, and you look eager enough to need the credits." BEYOND THE RIM is a full-length adventure module set in the Star Wars universe. At the heart of the story is the long-lost Separatist treasury ship, the Sa Nalaor, which lies wrecked on the frontier of Wild Space. You will need to harness every skill in their arsenal to evade Imperial forces, thwart their competition, and finally explore—and survive—an uncharted world.

How to prepare

Each player should be able to use Discord for the purpose of broadcasting and receiving audio. Video is not required. The Foundry Virtual Tabletop runs on Google Chrome and will have all of your character information already filled out, it also contains a dice roller which we will be using throughout the game. Foundry VTT is a browser based gaming system that runs best on Google Chrome. The gameplay overall will not be extremely rules-critical, the focus is on fun, fast, and exciting experience.

What I provide

Foundry VTT along with the Star Wars Fantasy Flight Games RPG modules which contain all of the character sheets, rules, items, dice, maps, scene backdrops, and handouts that you will need to play. I also have access to all of the FFG Star Wars RPG sourcebooks available to provide you with the fullest extent of character creation and customization. Additionally there will be sound effects, thematic music, ambience, dynamic lighting, which combine to make an engaging tabletop experience.

Gameplay details

The game is set in the Star Wars Universe. Humans, robots, aliens, and animals may engage in combat and these characters may die in combat. Similar to the Star Wars movie there is no gore. I'd give the average game a PG-13 rating. SAFETY TOOLS - I'd ask that all players be familiar with the TTRPG Safety Tools as available here (bit.ly/ttrpgsafetytoolkit) 1. Before the game starts we will use the LINES AND VEILS to identify any possible trigger scenes in the game and either remove, adjust, or avoid them. 2. During the game if you encounter a scene that is triggering we will use the OPEN DOOR policy, you as a player can step away. If the player is comfortable they can indicate what is triggering at that time and return when the scene is over. 3. After the game ends we will use the STARS AND WISHES safety tool to look back. I will use this opportunity for feedback to improve future sessions. Keep in mind the following while playing - 1. This is meant to be a fun and friendly gaming environment. Please avoid hateful comments and other triggering interactions with players. Please don't harass the other players, or engage in gameplay that would hurt their experience. If a player (or myself) is being made uncomfortable you will be given one (1) warning. If it happens again then you will be asked to leave the session. No refunds are given for players asked to leave due to their behavior. 2. The game will start within five (5) minutes of the game start time. The game will not be held up past this point, please do not be late. 3. You must provide 24 hour notice if you can't make the session. 4. I personally choose not to use strong language. If there is any content that you are not comfortable with then please let me know immediately so I can work to accommodate.

How will character creation work

Players that are already familiar with the system can choose to create their own characters using the Edge of the Empire rules. Please send me your completed characters at least 7 days before the game session so I can load them into Foundry. New players unfamiliar with the system that want to create their own character should contact me at least 7 days in advance of the game session, we can work through the character creation process together. Pre-generated characters will be available, if needed.
