So, being a fan of Star Wars, namely the stuff going on during the clone wars timeline (not talking about a show or anything. the actual war.), i wanted to try and find a game of it going on on RPoL; and if that wasn't possible, find someone willing to run one. However i've run into the issue of not knowing what system/etc it would use...


What i'm looking for:
-Clone Wars. Hey, i want to play as a clone and shoot up some droids, alright?

-To see what system(s) is available for running it; join a game using one that's most viable

-Find a GM who's willing to put up with newbie ignorance. I'm a fast learner, at least.

Ok I'm half asleep so I'm not going to type up a lot tonight. That said this is the kind of game I would like to run. Probably using saga or starwarsd20. The new fantasy flight system does not allow for mass slaughter as much.

There are a few game systems I've wanted to test out, I might be persuaded to run a Clone Wars based thing with them. Specifically, I wanted to try Wushu for Star Wars since I read it (I don't want to count how many years ago that is); Fate: Accelerated Edition seems like it would be a fantastic fit as well. Both of those systems would handle clone trooper PCs alongside Jedi PCs of any power level without blinking an eye (if it comes to that). Re-skinning 3:16 to do clone troopers might be interesting as well now that I think about it, though that would probably leave out Jedi.

Now, my approach would be to have a (relatively) short-run game, with a very specific direction--for one, I've come to realize that even a very simple "one-shot" on pbp format will take quite a while, simply because of the speed of interaction. I also don't want to get into a big commitment with something I haven't run before and am just trying out. I'd want a reasonably high posting rate, because I'm honestly going to lose focus/interest if we don't (I'd like to say daily but there are always those bad days...). If we finish the game (a goal, but a rarity online) and we're all hungry for some more then we take it from there.

I have to admit, I haven't especially kept up with Star Wars lore lately, I'd just be working with the very broad strokes of the setting. I'm happy to consider specific details the players want, but I can in no way guarantee I won't contradict anything (actually, it might be best to assume I will). Not that the various materials out there don't contradict themselves already.

Anyway, if that's something you want to try let me know and we'll see if we can make it work. I am aware that the game systems I've mentioned skew to the light and narrative end of the spectrum, and that's on purpose--it's not that I'll only play those games, those are just the ones I haven't and would like to test out. If that's not what you're after then cool, no judgement.

Wushu http://danielbayn.com/wushu/
FAE https://fate-srd.com/fate-accelerated/get-started
3:16 http://gregorhutton.com/boxninja/threesixteen/ (I have the game itself)

I'm willing to start a new FFG Force and Destiny game, with up to 4 players, on a Clone Wars premise. The ground rules -

Choose a Jedi Knight from the Clone Wars. You are this Knight's Padawan Learner. Any Jedi Knight in good standing is eligible for your Master or Mistress, including Anakin Skywalker or the recently knighted Asoka Tano.

Play will be Knight Level play, starting at 150 XP.

Once play begins, we will be going 'off canon'. Don't expect the game to adhere to existing Star Wars continuity.

Both Morality and Duty (to the Galactic Republic) will be used.

For morality options, the 29 Morality option will not be allowed, and the +2,500 credit option is that of a front line Jedi Commander who is well equipped but hasn't had as much time for training. The +5 XP/+1,000 is for a Padawan Learner who is front line but who has an attentive Master, and the +10 option is someone who has recently spent much time at the temple or is a Padawan who serves under a master who serves as a diplomat or investigator (some of whom still perform traditional peacetime duties).

All PCs will start with a basic Lightsaber with an Ilum crystal, and will presume to have made the pilgrimage to Ilum.

The time frame will be immediateky before the siege of Coruscant.

Let me know what you think.

I was actually more hoping to play as a clone.

I allowed for that in my set up.

Is that game still happening?

I know that way up above Spectator mentioned re-skinning 3:16 Carnage Among The Stars to fit into the Clone Wars. I've been thinking about it and it really could be a great fit, with the clones slowly becoming more disillusioned with their situation with an end-game setting itself around Order 66 and possibly Operation Knightfall. The weapons and vehicles given in the game can easily be re-skinned into more Star Wars friendly terms.

For some background, I own 3:16 and have run a game of it here on RPOL some time ago. I've been away for a while and am trying to make a comeback. I love the Clone Wars (all versions/types of it) and would love to break this system in for a use like this!

In reply to Samus Aran (msg # 10):

I've had no updates so i assume not.
