KMC Forums - Ush's game episode II- "Revenge"- gumf archive

Here are some rules and pointers for the new game

1. The format is the same as before. For the new guys, this means you should be more interested in influencing events rather than spontaneously creating new things in the world. Everything you post is subject to my approval; if it is too disruptive to the game it will be edited. Please, feel free to ask me- in thread or by PM- anything you are unclear about, or anything you are not sure whether you can or cannot do.

2. The game is called Revenge because that is the predominant theme. The Dark Siders are trying to have it, the Light Siders are trying to prevent it, in plots that intertwine. Many of the characters who played the last game have vengeful feelings of their own to deal with as well. Luke�s quest for revenge over the death of his father was a heavy theme in Star Wars, and so it is here

3. This is a game played when you guys are, basically, in isolation. Once you get fully into the plot you will have only each other to rely on; you will be in hostile territory with no backup forces, or ships, or anything like that to come down and help you. There will be bad guys that hate you both and both sides will have to deal with each other, of course. This game is very focussed on the players

4. It will take you time to complete your objectives- once they are done the game is over. You can�t just walk in to where you want to go and announce you have done it; there are many obstacles in the way. I expect this game to be shorter than the one before, but try not to rush it.

5. The Dark Siders have been working with fellow Dark Jedi controlled by me from the start; this time the Light Siders have some Jedi friends as well. These people will help you as best they can but they won�t do the game for you; that is your job. They will also be used by me at times to advance the plot, especially if things are getting behind.

A note to everyone that has not done so- you should read the 'Epligoues' at the end of the old game threads, if you played in that game. The Post Scripts are also interesting reading, especially the 'Advancment' one which requires feedback from you guys.

Actually... very little.

First of all, there are no Jedi energy bolts in the film (guess you jumped the gun there, yerss).

Second, lightning is now no longer Palpatine only, but obviously still reserved for the very powerful. Furthermore, it can be blocked by sabres (and/or powerful force users). Thus making it not quite the ultimate weapon we assumed it to be. So rather more likely to make an appearance.

Thirdly, there is no mention made in the film of the Dark Side being better able to predict the futute than the Light, but the power of the Dark Side to cloud the perception of the Jedi is made very clear. It might be a Sith only thing, but I'll be inclined to let the Dark Siders stay one step ahead of the good guys based on that, as they need a lot of breaks with the whole galaxy hostile to them.

And lastly never shoot at Mace Windu; you'll only piss him off.

I'll wait til Vader comes around, then get it in good with him. wink

and I stand to my point! that ball IS there! They just cut it in the UK version to get a good grading ... I hope...

anywayz... if not, that power can still be there, just not in the movies, so still allowed?

Nope! Jedi using ball-zaps seems rather silly to me and with it not being in the films it stays out. Far too much like magic.

isn't the Force like magic?

No, it has obvious limits.

"I do not aproof this" roll eyes (sarcastic)

I know.

I'm sorry, but I DO like to stick to the films as much as possble. Letting you guys having non-film coloured sabres is favour enough!

and here am I with my nice blue one roll eyes (sarcastic)

soooooooooooooooooooo... I have a blue one, can I have the Force Ball as MY EU thingie?

ok... let me rephrase that...

since I don't have a sabre, can't I have that power?

Let me answer for you Ush.

NOPE!

like I would ever listen to you!

every second you waste with not searching the DJ's, is a second the Dark Side consumes me more and more!

Wouldn't a kind of zap attack be just like an extremely mild Force Lightning?

So, will the DJ ever deal with Dooku?

You never know.

Which is to say, the chances of Dooku not being in one of my games is ZERO. He's too damn cool. But you might want to think carelfull of what the circumsatnces might be.

The number 0 is a really low number. At least it's not negative 5 chance.

so he is in it, but will we see OB1 or Anakin???

Very possibly, though unlikely to be in an extended sense. Bad guys are easier to put in than good guys, on the whole.
