RP General Discussion

A lot of what you are seeing there is indeed a result of Palpatine's subtle polarisation of the Republic, which was referenced in the opening posts in each thread (and are an essential part of the Civil War he seeks to create).

Fun as it is, I gotta go folks- all got stuff to think over, I hope!

Hah hah....

That is pretty evil and nasty though, heh.

Just a tad. But not as evil as letting Vera-Kin calm down an attacking monster. 😛

Ah dearie me, doesn't time fly? Except for the Renegade plot, which WAS flying pretty fast but then had to stop dead to wait for the Jedi to catch up. Oh well, always a risk.

Anyhoo, everyone is more or less synchronised now as we approach the final act of each storyline, each of which is definitely getting a set piece finale. Still a final act can take a little while, and there are certainly a few events to go yet, so the game isn't about to end next week or anything. But things now are approaching closure- on Newhaven, the Dark Siders know the stakes as they make their big grab-and-escape. Thier plan is coming together, but the Alpha Hunting team of the Bureau is seeking to spoil their day, and Rogan looks forwards to the Hunt.

On Spiridos, Andro and Gallagher have got their case- but how to bring prosecution in time? And is Varm just going to sit back and let them mess around? What relevance are Gallagher's worries?

On Charaeus, the final assault on the Cult's headquarters begins. How well defended the Ziggurat is, no-one yet knows. And what does the Civil War within the Cult, that Marcus and Vlad have discovered, portend?

On Rekiarius, Xeth's maddening hunt of his own is finally coming to an end. On this ice world of no comfort, can Xeth's group discern the purpose of the Union, and their relations of Charaues? Can one of these Union operations finally be prevented?

And on Cassilis, a depairing Roan watches as war comes to the midst of the Republic, and he knows not his enemy or the stakes that are bing played for. His visions lead him on to a path of violence that he seems to be in the midst of; is this really the only fate possible for Cassilis- and if so, why?

Time for resolution and revelation (especially, obviously enough, in the Jedi thread), so let's make the final reel a blast!

Huzzah! 😄

I see you updated the weapons in the Core Rules. Sniper rifles, wooo. Galder might even consider an armored jacket, after seeing the rules for them.

GALDER might? That would reduce his Lightsabre rating!

Yup, work on the Core Rules continues; everything is going in over the next few days.

Sheesh, Rex, make Galder suck again? 😛

Awesome! Can we start making our characters for the Empire era game?

Yes, I'll try and get the Imperial Templates up tonight. Basically, I had my breakfast, thought "I'll just quickly type all that up," and then suddenly it was 6pm and I'd only got the Rebels done and my life was disappearing...

So much for my weekend off. Admittedly I had breakfast at midday though.

Hmph. No complaining, it's midday here and I've been up for six hours already and just got back from work.

I think I shall go force my attention span to cooperate long enough to read that stuff now.....

...

(complains anyway)

Hurray complaining!

Free Trader is looking good...but Primitive Warrior looks like fun too!

I woke up like 2 hours ago. Yeah, I sleep till 11 on Saturdays and Sundays, cause I work from 6-12, then college from 12-5. Then sleepy time from 11 to 6.

Andro is HOPING Varm tries to stop him. But not 'till after he ties Mirani into the smugglimg/murders. Also, had a though about making the arrests, when we get that far. Do we just say We're Jedi, you're coming with me, and haul of the survivors of the ensuing battle? Or do we call in someone to take them away? Are the Jedi the jailers as well as the police? I guess what I mean is do we take them away ourselves, or who does that?

Yeah, and I'm looking forward to the OT game. Always wanted to play a smuggler type SW character. That, and exploring the start of the rebellion should be fun. Although I have no problems at all with the PT game, it is admittedly kind of depressing, and I know that's the point.

Especially now, as we edge closer to AOTC and ROTS. Only six years, you know! 😉

I thought you might ask that in thread, but I can handle it here.

You can signal to the Order to move in when you see fit. They actually have a small blockade ready to come and ensure no-one can leave, but it will take a while to get there. Proving your authority might be difficult before anyone arrives to confirm it, but legally, yes, yo have the power to detain also. One thing you cannot do is rely on local security.

Thanks, it occured to me only recently that we'd better know that in advance of announcing ourselves. I figured that the locals would be of no help, found that out already.

You can get a message out to the Jedi to tell them to get prepped and ready to come in, but then you are on a timer to actually solve the case before anyone notices.

This choosing bit really blows.

I want to be on the winning side, since the Dark Jedi are all going to die 🙁

But at the same time, I want to be able to threaten people!

Phew! That's nearly all the new rules done- though as should be obvious from the Pilot Tricks, there is still the Starship system to come.

Still, got most of the work done today.

Thanks Ush, that's really alot of work in one day! Can't wait to see those starship rules, though. But there's plenty to do 'till then. Got to write my backstory, and merge it with Xeth's. I'm in sick all weekend it looks like, this is better than piloting the couch the whole time.
