Play by post?
« on: January 01, 2019, 06:09:13 pm »
I would like to play Saga Edition again.  I haven't in quite some time.  Would anyone be interested in playing?  I may try to run it here or I might try something new and run it on discord.

Alastor, some specifics may help you attract people.  What level would this game start at?  What is the focus of the campaign?  Are there limiations on races or classes?

Hello there!

PbP is pretty easy in most places, just depends on how you want to run it. Some GM's (like sienn) are ok with Out of Character (OoC) talk in the posts themselves, while others usually have a separate channel for that. Discord works pretty good this way too. And you can even get bots for rolling dice if you wanna go that route.

Do share more details. I'm sure there's several folks who could jump in on the game. Although, it being the holidays, it's been pretty slow around these parts.
PM me for my link to a huge Saga Repository!``

Honestly I am not sure yet.  I haven't run a game since around 2008ish but I have all the books.  I don't imagine anyone would want to play Dawn of Defiance, right?

  • Dark or Light? Why choose when neither is right?

I'm guessing there are some who would but you do run into at least two things when you do.  One is that it's pretty easy to find and while some people can be good about "following along" even if they know the story some may try to "take advantage of things" unless you change up a good number of things.  The other is that it's such a long storyline it may be hard to run from start to finish as it's written.

What I would like to do I think is a Jedi/Republic oriented games set in the Old Republic.  Same concept as the MMO but with some changes to the story.  I don't like what they did with Revan for example.

I'd be interested (though I'm always interested :) ).  And I'm cool with either PbP or Discord (though Discord might be more difficult if we are in different time zones).

If the game is set during the MMO, will you be doing an original story or something parallel to that story?  (Because I'd still be interested regardless, but I would ask for an original story away from the primary storyline if possible.  My brother is doing a d20 game based off of a tv series and is following the plotline rather closely, which bothers me because I feel like a passenger in the tv series, rather than doing some original adventure).

I'm sorry I didn't see the response of people interested until just now.  If I were to run a game I think it would have to be play by post and it would be based on the concept of Star Wars: The Old Republic.  The key figures would be the same but the story would be our own.  I may rework some ideas from the game but it would not be the same.  That being said I don't have as much time as I hoped, I can probably post once every day but even then sometimes things come up.

I think we all feel like we never have enough time  ;)

Well, feel free to post whatever details you would want to get started with, and that may draw the interest of others besides timcrall and myself.
