Ascension of the Orphan Sun: a SW Saga adventure

Game Master vonklinen

Discuss character concepts here.

Soldier Nyla Selanno reporting in. I'll be adjusting her backstory to fit with the campaign. So, around the time of the Trade Federation Blockade?

Wait a second... Weren't you trying to run a Giantslayer game at some point?

Yes. This is a great character btw. I'm honored to have her aboard. Also, I have to create a new alias for GM.

OOH, Nyla can be a Mandalorian! Cool with that? She'd have the tattoo on her left upper arm of course.

Yes. She can be Mandalorian.

I never ran a giantslayer game though. Only been playing a couple of years. I only have access to the core book and stuff that you have given me. I had a flood of ideas during my investigation of Saga system.

She'll still be Force-sensitive. She'll also get some armor once she gets enough moneys.

I hope that the others climb aboard.

Well, my wife will probably kill me for spending yet another night making a character...

But I'll have a think.

What are we doing for stats? Point buy? I'm thinking of making a droid.

Roll stats. I think that is what Nyla did, so let's stick with that. Max starting credits, droid would be fun. Welcome.

I'm here. I'm interested, and man have I forgotten how much I missed Star Wars characters.

I'm thinking I'll actually make a Jedi for this one. Are you using Warhawk's +2 to one stat for humans and automatic training in Use the Force for Jedi, or by the book?

Roll: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 6, 4) = 17 14
Roll: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 1, 4) = 13 12
Roll: 4d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 4, 5) = 14 12
Roll: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 4, 4) = 19 15
Roll: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 3, 5) = 17 14
Roll: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 6, 1) = 18 17

Edit: With those rolls, I might remake my very first Star Wars Saga character - an Acrobatic Wookie Jedi.

Yes. I will allow Warhawk's Jedi ruling as it helps the class. I chose roll stats because it is fun.

Aw, yeah, Acrobatic Wookie Jedi, coming up.

Unless no one speaks Shyriiwook, then I'll change the race. Playing a Wookie no one can understand is kind of disruptive.

Oh snap, max credits? Lemme see how much more that gives Nyla. I'd get Mandalorian-style armor, but it costs 30k more than normal armor I think.

Alright. Droids only need five stats cause they don't have con.

4d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 5, 3) = 17 14
4d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 3, 6) = 18 15
4d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 3, 4) = 10 9
4d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 6, 4) = 21 17
4d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 2, 4) = 11 9

I think I'll be able to make that work.

Ah, just found out that the Mandalorian Armors from the KOTOR Campaign Guide cost 3500 for light armor, 7000 for medium, and 15000 for heavy armors. Being a Mandalorian character waves the 30k additional cost. I'm about 1500 credits short for a Mandalorian Combat Suit (Have 1865 spent, so 1135 left over). I'll save up for that I suppose.

Just read that since Scum & Villainy came out after the KOTOR guide, Beskar'gam armor technically replaces the KOTOR armors. I'm thinking a jetpack would be nifty, but the Beskar'gam armor doesn't state that it has it.

Come to think of it, I should really just make my cool SWTOR Pink-Armored Mandalorian Bounty Hunter. I'm gonna change Nyla's portrait.

Can't find a decent white-haired human that isn't Seoni. This one will work. She's got a tattoo on her upper arm. I'll take a screenshot of my pink armored bounty hunter at some point to show you guys. Her blaster pistols shoot pink bolts, and she rides a pink speeder bike. Why pink? Because she's so Bad*** that she doesn't care, plus she likes the color.

Aw, yeah, Acrobatic Wookie Jedi, coming up.

Unless no one speaks Shyriiwook, then I'll change the race. Playing a Wookie no one can understand is kind of disruptive.

Blur of fur!

So we have :

Force sensitive soldier

Jedi Wookie

Droid -unspecified

Waiting on one more character and the finishing of the above chars and we can go to gameplay.

We will be starting in Mos Zuba inside of a cantina named the Oasis. Would you like to describe how you got there, or would you like me to just give you a reason why your character ended up there?

I'll make sure my droid speaks shyriiwook, cause wookies are awesome.

Also you may want to pick up a voxbox (20 credits)

Or if you've got the cash (which being a Jedi probably not) you could grab a personal translator.

So we have :

Force sensitive soldier

Gonna be a droid scoundrel

Hey DM holocron, I think the gameplay thread issue might be fixed. It's saying there is no gameplay thread connected where as before it had a box to add a new post.

Cool. What class of droid, astromech, protocol or security unit? If custom, please describe .

I am seeing gameplay, I just don't want to release info until characters are ready.

Bipedal junk droid. Goes by the name Bolts.

To look at B01t5 no one would know what kind of droid it was originally. Some droid experts may be able to pick out a piece here and there that they could identify as coming from different models. Cobbled together, rusting all over it's nothing much to look at. Not even B01T5 can remember where it comes from. It does have a phobia of jawas though.

This picture isn't perfect. It probably wouldn't have that massive right arm. (Or is that a shield.) instead its forearms seem to open up with different tool appendages extending and retracting.

Nice. Waiting on Souldragon I think.

I'm working on rewriting Nyla's backstory to fit her Mandalorian background.

Almost done.

These characters are great.

Updated her info.

Stats on Jedi Wookie, then SD or fourth player and we'll be off.

whoops I'm getting mixed up. Wrong campaign.

I'm really liking this droid character.

DM Holocron is it alright if Bolts has been working at The Oasis for the last couple of weeks as a serving droid? It would be getting pretty bored of the work and probably listening in to customer conversations, trying to find a new 'master' to leave with.

@BO1T5, normally I would be pretty liberal, but because of plot, no droids allowed in the Oasis. He could work down the block for Uncle Osslo, a junk dealer.

I'll have Wookie stats up today. Last night I ended up being too busy to type them up.

So, the Wookie will not be happening, as I looked at starting ages and realized that a Wookie is not considered an "Adult" until they are 300, and I could not rationalize a level 1 Jedi as being 300 years old, especially in this era when all of the Jedi are taken to the temple as infants. So, he'll be a Human, with a more scholarly bent.

Ok. That will be fun as well.

Like a spock-type character?

Not quite. By "more scholarly bent" I mean more like an eager student-turning-into-a-professor. Not a character governed by logic, but one who seeks to understand the galaxy. He's less focused on his lightsaber, and more on knowledge and negotiation.

By the way, meet Joran Gres.

Welcome aboard.

No problem.

I'm not hearing back from Souldragon. He is still invited to play, but I feel like we should have at least four PCs. Should I DMPC or recruit one player? Or do you want to roll with three?

I will leave it up to you.

I don't mind running with three. Or the DMPC option. That way if SoulDragon surfaces from RL in the next few days they can jump in if they want to. If it goes for a few weeks and SoulDragon still isn't around / isn't interested we can revisit recruiting a fourth player then. (Assuming that would fit with the story.)

Ok. I'll cook up a character that will compliment this crew and we can begin.

Hmm should I reconfigure bolts to be able to do treat injury?

Here is your fourth for now.

Hmm should I reconfigure bolts to be able to do treat injury?

Play him how you want. I'm here for fun so you'll get healing some how.

Nifty Sullustan image.. lol

The best I could find. It kind of makes me chuckle every time that I see it, but captures his personality.
