Star Wars Game TDM-Style

Hiya!

Its your friendly neighborhood TDM starting a new starwars game to replace the one that I was in that kerplunked. This game will follow in the traditional star wars-esque type play.

A few rules: Canon only which to me means only the movies and the books about the movies are included in this history. Anything else must be cleared through me. This keeps it simple.

Think of it more like an "alternate Star Wars universe" if it will help. The main characters from the movies are there, but we'll be moving off on adventures that happen beyond them.

The story itself is of epic proportions and will take place in two time sections. The first takes place about twenty years before the Phantom Menace. The second takes place a few months after Return of the Jedi. Its all related to each other - you don't have to have the same character for both.

This, like all of my games, will be a very grey game. Though in Star Wars there tends to be a shift to good or evil, don't depend on any clarity here. This will be more heavily on the social aspect than most games.

I will have more information on the actual plot/storyline ideas and general character suggestions coming up in future posts either tonight or tommorrow night.

Some Basic Rules:

There are only two ways of getting into this game: you're invited to participate or you apply to get a position.

I haven't decided if the characters are pregenerated or not. It would depend on the concept characters that I see once I divulge the complete locales and general history. What's important is diversity of characters.

There will be six positions. Keia, Nuke261, Catulle have 3 tentative positions. There's one open for Shalimar if she wishes. That leaves at least 2 open for general audience to apply for. I'll have more on the application process later. For now just express your interest so I have an idea of how many people are interested.

Hey, sounds like fun. I'd like to throw into the ring for consideration. I've never done one of these PbP games before, but I'd love to try one. I generally check the message boards a couple times a day, so keeping up is not an issue.
 




I might be interested, but it depends on few things:

I'm no Star Wars universe know-it-all-mastah. Watched the movies. Read couple of books.

I like gray areas. But how much more heavily on the social aspect? Like the Vampire game on the boards, which frankly scares the hell out of me...?

You're scary.

What the hell does that TDM mean? Terminator? Terror? :p

And most importantly, there aren't any b****y NPCs around, aren't there? :D

*TDM* - Tyrannical Dungeon Master of which there is only one -> KitanaVorr

(This is a quote from KitanaVorr in reply to me asking that question in the pbp ettiquite guide.)

Nice to know that I'm not the only one who was stumped by it.:)
 

I've read a trilogy of Star Wars books by Kevin Anderson, they were pretty good, but I almost put down one of them when he killed off Wedge Antilles (Wedge being my favourite character). For that reason I'm glad most books aren't being included. :D
 

Festy,

I think you got something wrong there.

Anderson wrote the "Jedi Academy"-Trilogy for Star Wars and at the end of Book 3 Wedge is still alive and kicking. In fact, he still seems to be alive in the current NJO storyline, since he has come out of retirement to act as an advisor to Gavin Darklighter of Rogue Squadron.


Folkert (who hereby denies every accusation of being a Rogue Squadron fan) :D
