This is where any question about swrpg and how we will play should go.

Also for now this can be where you disscuse with other people what you want to do about your pc.

I know one of the questions i keep seeing is can we join up as partners on a ship...

Right now i don't have any plans to make a game that you can use your ships in.

Now before everyone screams at me, they will becomeing, i think it would be best if we learn the game on the ground first.

So my suggeston is don't worry about a ship right now, your pc will make money during the game, and they could buy a ship in the game (or they may even find a ship they can have in the game...)

How should we post our pc stats? Should we just make a list that goes down the left side?

Name: *****
Blah:*****
Blah**
Blah******

Like that? Also, what program do you have to use to open a pdf document? I can't figure out how to look at the pc sheet. (It might answer some of my many questions)

ypu can find alot of weapons off of the "bothan spy network" just search for it and go to weapons, but you have to download it.

Anyways, this is turne based, no? How are we going to accomplish that on-line?

Yes it is kind of turned based. Whoever has the higher initiative goes first. The GM will probably roll up the initiative to see who goes first.
BTW thrawn12786 also has the SWRPG book so he can answer some questions if wraith or me are not on ;)

I can open the character sheet, but I have no clue what I'm supposed to do with it. (What a suprise, huh? ;) ) Since I have a lot of time now, I'll fill out the sheet as soon as I get an explaination.

Ok, I've made a simple explanation of what skills and abilities are. It's real simple so I'm sorry if you don't understand it. Pm, thrawn12786 or me if you don't understand what something does. (Pm thrawn first though ;) )
BTW The brief description on how Skills and Abilities work are here (http://www.angelfire.com/ca7/jahkris/Skills.html)

word from Chris...

First: No new names, when we play we play with the names we have now, it will get hard to moderat if everyone starts to get new names.

Secound: Chris says that he will set up a place for us to play as soon as we get about 25 people who want to play.

Thanks Chris you are the man!!!

OK people here is the deal...

Myself and kvan are going to start working with everyone one on one to get your pc's ready to go.

This may take a little time, but don't worry.

Please keep asking questions, posting your pc's, and getting others to join up.

We will be going mainly of the list of people that have emailed me with what they would like.

And yes i know someone can't email me don't worry i know you are their (i just can remeber who you are right now)

If you havn't emailed me your pc stuff, please do so, so that we can try to get everyone setup.

Thank you for your timeone other thing and i know you may not like this, I have told kvan no ships for right now.

You will get the ships you want a little later in the game, but i am not going to make a space mission right away, and i think you could spend your money better.

like i said don't worry if you want a ship, you will get a ship during the game somethime.

Um...are we gonna roll virtual dice or something? I don't get how that will work.

Also, what dictates when you wil come to a river, is their some sort of map, or board? We don't have either on the net.

Ok, I've managed to find some info on the Ubese on the web, including a template. Now I just got to think of a name, class, and choose my preferred weapon and post it all on the PC thread.

I'd like to be a bounty hunter eventually, what starting class would suit that? From the descriptions it sounds like the scoundrel, fringer, or scout classes might fit the bill.

Anyone know where I can find a list of basic weapons from the core rulebook online with stats?

Nilaar is the Template from D6 or the D20 game?
If you plan on being a Bounty Hunter I'd go with either being a Soldier or Fringer, but any class can be a Bounty Hunter :)

It's from the D20 game. I'll be a Fringer, fits in good with the Ubese background. I've even thought of a name. Now I just got to get myself a weapon....

Is the Repeater Gun from the Jedi Knight computer game an actual weapon in the RPG?

An ion gun would probably be the best choise for a Jawa.

A Xerrol NightStinger? That thing is probably longer then the height of most Jawas ;)

Hey Fergie it'll cost 500 credits to mooch a room on my ship, no extra payments, just pay 500 and you can be on my ship for as long as you want.

And how much do we start off with:confused:

Way more than that most likely. if we started with 500 we wouldn't be able to buy stuff

The Xerrol Nightstinger is a highly classified imperial sniper weapon. It shoots invisible lasers, and is perfect for assassinations.

Hmm, maybe i should pick one up.

thrawn is wraith letting you have a lightsaber when you start?!
You see a disrupor in Star's End. It VERY destructive! It's also highly illegal and carrying it is a death sentence on most planets

yes wraith is letting him have a lightsaber, how would one of our only jedi look if he didn't have a lightsaber.

kvan I know what you question is, just pm me and i will tell you.

Okay does anyone have the specs on the Ion Blaster???
Also I want a good weapon besides that because you have got to admit it isn't the best weapon or even close to it. Also If there is a better version of the Jawa ion blaster I'll take it and forget the Jawa Ionizer. In other words I want a custom made model ofthe Ion Blaster...that is good.:D

True exept I think that a "lightsaber" will be kicking butt at thebegining of the game because nobody else has a good enough weapon to counter it.

though i can tell you this much thrawns lightsaber is weaker then that rifle he has, and less damage then most blasters.

Will he be using the lightsabre all that much early on? I would think that he'd need to get more skills to use it better. I have a feeling he'll end up using his charric more then the lightsabre. So I don't think the lightsabre is going to be all that unbalanced.
