What can a new player expect?
As stated on the Game Details, the campaign will be set during the early years of the Empire's Rise and Dark Times and lead into the Rebellion Era. The campaign will take place in the Brak sector, an area loaded with competing interests, each providing opportunities for adventures. Whether the characters are smugglers working for a local crimeboss, scouts looking for a big score, or Rebel heroes bravely fighting the Empire, there is room for them in Brak Sector - presenting an area of space where characters can make a real difference, making them the heroes of the sector.. I'm hoping for a fast and intense game steeped in the traditions of the Star Wars we all love. My aim is to encourage PC free-will and give ample opportunities for PCs to make their own meaningful choices so that the player can pursue their own goals and agendas.
My intent is to encourage relationships, whether with other PCs or NPCs that will develop the game unto itself both for and against your desires - making interactions the key. To aide and encourage in the development of relationships, I intend to keep the player group small in number (at least initially to perhaps 4).
I want to see originality in character creation. Fantasy Flight Games offers many unique talents, specializations, and careers at your disposal, so bring out that fascinating character concept you have been sitting on. I want characters that the players are passionate about - leave it to me to figure out a way to work you into the story of the game.
Player Requirements:
You Must be able to Post Daily (Weekdays). I will expect replies to all posts within a 24 hour time period at least 4 times a week (meaning I expect little activity during the weekend) and no more than 5 times a week (meaning more shorter posts may occur during combat or high action moments in the story). Please do not apply if you know or feel this to daunting of a task.
You Must Commit to a Quality Post. Meaning no one-liners or a 5 page rehash of what everyone else has posted. We are running the game in written form so grammar and spelling are important and should be readable. That being said, it is a game and not a novel …I’m not concerned about the post being perfect and with the posting schedule you will have your good days and bad. The content of your post is what is important not the length. Look at the information provided in the post through your characters eyes and the length will look after yourself. Make your post entertaining and enjoyable, not just informative, by getting in character. All posts should have direction, and a beginning – middle – and end. Reference or paraphrase other PC dialogue wherever possible, I’d like to see minimal quoting. Basically I want to know what is happening from your character’s point of view – what he/she is thinking and feeling, what he/she is seeing. Good role-play will be rewarded, whether by extra XP or other forms.
I will be using Fantasy Flight Games Star Wars game line rules, most likely with some variant rules – that as they arise will be posted to the Campaign Wiki that is on the game boards.
Knowledge of the setting and even access to the books would be helpful. If you are genuinely interested and are sure that you can meet all the commitments PM me or email to soccerseus@gmail.com and we will certainly work something out.
These commitments I realize are asking for a lot, and will not go without being rewarded. Rewards may come in the form of additional Experience Points, Destiny Points, or perhaps story awards. For example, perhaps you decide that your character wants to make unique 'improvements' to his armor and personalize it to his specs, build his own droid/ship, or train/use a unique weapon or fighting style. Clues and steps towards accomplishing these goals can be another means of reward.
Most importantly …HAVE FUN!!
Character Requirements: There are very few limitations on what characters will be accepted. Ideally, I would hope that the majority of players will choose to play Fringe (Edge of the Empire) or Rebel characters, though there certainly will be opportunities for characters to explore the Force and will be handled on a case by case basis - though not in these early 'episodes' as we build the setting of the Brak Sector and introduce key characters and events but certainly by the time we get to the 'main' lengthy Rebellion Era campaign.
The important thing is to focus on a UNIQUE character concept that you are passionate about. It is my hope that I see all types of characters from all the careers and specializations offered and that it is a character you can develop and love.
Apply via the sites "Request to Join" feature, Private Message, or barring that email to soccerseus@gmail.com and include a bit about yourself, why you are interested in joining.
I will respond either inviting you to continue your application or declining. When you send me a concept that will fit the campaign I will ask you to develop the personality/background. We will work on refining that together and get you into the game.
The process may seem long and patience will be required. As I intend to run this campaign for a long time, patience works for me and I think you will find a more meaningful character in the end.
