Jedi Trials (Luke's Academy: Star Wars RPG)

About the adventure

The year is 14 ABY, a decade after "Return of the Jedi." Your adventure begins as force sensitives bound for Luke Skywalker's new Jedi Academy on Yavin IV. After introduction to each other, as well as the rules and setting, there will be a montage leading into the party of padawans preparing for their trials of knighthood. The characters must complete a mission that will challenge their courage, flesh, insight, skill, and spirit in order to earn the title of Jedi Knight. Afterwards, we can discuss opening the world if a continuous campaign is desired. Photo credit goes to Cade Roberts under the Unsplash License

How to prepare

A microphone or text-to-speech (TTS) software will be required. You do not need to create your own characters, but I do suggest you take at least one day to read your character sheet (especially characters focused on Force powers or gadgets) before the first game. I prefer the use of Discord for theatre of the mind, sometimes Tabletop Simulator , but no software except a Discord and PDF compatible browser is required (this covers dice, and character sheet.) Common usage of the same software does enhance the experience.

What I provide

We can use app dice, but I prefer Tabletop Simulator. If players have a specific vision for their characters it will be helpful if they provide an image or description beforehand (at least seven days before gameplay) so that I can generate a miniature.

Gameplay details

All my games use the following home rules: Golden Rule (Treat Others As You Want to be Treated), Red Rule (Mind Control Cannot Force Characters to Perform Acts That Makes Players Uncomfortable), Rule of Cool (If the Rules Do Not Support Your Actions We Can Discuss the Possibilities) Lines We Do Not Cross: Rape, Sexual Assault (These DO NOT EXIST in my universes) Veils: Sexual encounters, torture After the session I like to discuss how the game went for everyone: what you liked, and what you think could be better.

How will character creation work

Each character will need two sheets: One as a new member of the Jedi Academy (Basic character creation, using any Star Wars FFG source book), and another with 150 XP. Depending on what the party wants either I can create them beforehand using player prompts, or we can create them together at the beginning of the session.
