Rex's Star Wars Game- Retrospection

As all of you know, Ushgarak has been providing KMC with non-stop roleplaying action in that far away Galaxy known as the Star Wars Universe. He has introduced several highly-developed characters (ranging from the charismatic and deadly Larios Kuylen to the lovably oafish Vasilik) and a variety of horrible twists that keep us coming back for more. Out of his games we've spawned highly-developed characters of our own and formed friendships (and rivalries!).

However, we've run out of plot. Before we play the games, Ush and his brother, Brith, painstaking write the story up before putting themselves through it. They've been doing that for over six years. How they do it, I have no idea. But they, like us, are only human. If we expected them to lock themselves in a dark room with tons of paper and dice until the games were finished, we'd only be half-right.

Because Ush and Brith aren't super-computers that jot down roleplaying plots at every second of the day, we'd be getting a very half-baked Episode IV for the Prequel Trilogy Era, and there is no Episode II for the Original Trilogy Era as of yet.

And so, in the vein of Ushgarak's Prince of Persia games on Lana's board, I proposed to host a series of shorter games to get an in-depth look at each of the characters that we've been playing for years. They all have a story to tell.

Please voice your interest if you wish to participate. Ush has allowed me to offer a small prize at the end of each game which will carry over into his games.

POST-SCRIPTS

COMING SOON...

RULES

For the purposes of gameplay, we will be using the newest dice system that Ushgarak has running with his games, dubbed the 'Lego' system due to its intended simple-to-use nature.

UPDATE- Ush has updated the rules to account for new changes, and this is what we'll be using.

REWARDS

Playing Retrospection mini-games is all fun and games, but everyone knows the real reason you try hard to complete games... experience points! As part of Ush's mythos, he has deemed it allowable to dole out xp for completed Retro games.

COMPLETED GAME = 2xp

A small reward, but every point counts!

However, I do not want the Retrospection games to be abused as a source of experience. If one of Ush's episodes is worth a Blade Schtick or two Force Powers- a total of 12xp- then that is the limit of what you can earn from playing.

EARNING LIMIT = 12xp

Xp earned can also only be spent on the character you earned it with. If you played a PT character, for example, you cannot spend it on an OT character!

If this is incorrect, or if your character is not listed and they should be, let me know.

Well, as I mentioned, this is great idea, and I am happy to go with it.

I wonder why Zink is playing Wraith, though, not Rand.

You went for the least descriptive description possible there, didn't you 😛

Man I can not wait for this 😱

Me neither, this'll be fun and a good way to keep up Star Wars while waiting for PT to be ready.

Hey, Rex, remember, there's gotta be a Psycho Brigade one at some point 😛

Yes PB taking people down 😄

And I love this because this gets me a chance to get some more character development for Xavier for the next game.

I'd like to express my interest here too.

Looks good.

Also demanding a Psycho Brigade game. It'll be fun, insane, and amusingly violent all at the same time! 😱

Four-fourths of the Psycho Brigade agree that a Psycho Brigade story is needed.

Trickster, who would you like to play? Tanic Starguard or Lyle Crett?

If you feel up to a Roan Trilanger game...
But no pressure.

No problem.

Also, Ush, if you wanted to participate, I would be glad to write up something for you. I can't guarantee the craftsmanship that you put into your games, of course.

Whichever you feel would work best with your existing stories, Rex, though I'd like to get back to Tanic soon (and it seems to be that the jedi vibe is going strong so far).

We'll go with Tanic, then.

Seconded! I was thinking it might be a treat for us and a break for Ush. (thik how confusing that sentence would sound if said by a drunk person...) Anyway, it'd be cool to see the Player side of Ush, even if it were just small cameos. Maybe even Brith too, since he has an even more-behind-the-scenes roll in all this.

I absolutely agree. If Ush and Brith can take the time to play, it'd be great to see them making the idiotic mistakes for once. 😄

Fourthing that idea 😄
