The Last Gathering

About the adventure

The plot to kidnap Chancellor Palpatine has failed. Count Dooku is dead. General Grievous is on the run. Droid armies continue to hold out but the Separatist war effort is falling apart. It's the the final days of the Clone Wars and its ending will restore peace to the Galaxy... A group of younglings, unaffected by the greater conflict, are about to become jedi padiwans. The younglings have arrived on the hidden jedi planet of Ilum for the Gathering. It is the first step on the path to building their own lightsaber. They await Master Yoda, who is detained by the conflict on Kashyyyk. Unbeknownst to the younglings, Order 66 has been given. May the force be with them...

Additional Details

How to prepare

This campaign is inspired by stories told in the Clone Wars and Bad Batch animated television shows. Specifically for Clone Wars, the 4 episode arc in session 5 that starts with Episode 6 "The Gathering". More info can be found here: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/The_Gathering_(episode) Players can watch those Clone Wars episodes and watch both shows to get a sense of the type of story we're going to tell.

What I provide

We'll be using Alchemy as our VTT (with roll20 as a backup). Alchemy will also be our voice/video support (with discord and zoom on backup). This will be a narrative first game. We'll tell a compelling story and allow the rules of the game to help us get there. We'll talk about mechanics and figure out whether they make sense for the stories we're going to tell. I have extensive experience running the system and a love of all things Star Wars. My hope is to tell stories in the universe that fit within the canon of the movies and tv shows without being confined by them.

Gameplay details

We'll start with a Session 0, where we'll discuss safety tools like building a lines and veils doc. An X card will be used during the sessions. Open door policy means that you are free to step away and leave at any time, if anything doesn't feel right.
