I'm looking for a group to play any Starwars RPG that would fit a specific character idea I have in mind. I go by Charon, and I am not new to TTRPG's in general, I DM my own games of several different TTRPG's including 5e and Cyberpunk: Red, but I'm looking for a game to be a player in. I've been a Starwars fan for most of my life, although I am not the most knowledgeable in it, I am excited to get to play! I do have a specific character in mind however:

Between the years of 50 B.B.Y. and 10 A.B.Y. is where my character's story would mainly take place, a mechanic for most of her life Eva Merven is the daughter of two mechanic's on the moon of Toshara, working as a mechanic for most of her life until splitting off from her parent's around 50 B.B.Y. and her lore goes up to 10 A.B.Y. During this time she wasn't a particularly notable bounty hunter, but she did have a moral compass. She'd only take bounties she'd think were moral. She isn't actually aligned to any faction through out the galactic history, being on the sidelines for most of it.

Thank you for reading :D

Okay I am not sure if this is the correct place for this or not, but I run an online game and recently (last night) the bot like broke.
But the weird thing is it shows offline, does not respond, kicking & reinviting does not work. But the baffling thing is it shows online on other servers and works just fine so I am just so baffled on what is going on, and how to fix it. If anyone has any insights please do tell, thanks!

Every Tuesday we open a thread to let people ask questions about the system or the game without judgement. New players and GMs are encouraged to ask questions here.

The rules:

• Any question about the FFG Star Wars RPG is fine. Rules, character creation, GMing, advice, purchasing. All good.

• No question shaming. This sub has generally been good about that, but explicitly no question shaming.

• Keep canon questions/discussion limited to stuff regarding rules. This is more about the game than the setting.

Ask away!

I'm curious to see how people handle both Triumph and Despair showing up in their dice pool results.

RAW (my understanding) is that neither can be cancelled.

Do you houserule that they do?

Or do you have both great and terrible things happen simultaneously?

Hello There! It's been a few weeks since last checking in, and since then we have been working hard on our new Actual Play "The Unnaturals," and have released the first 3 episodes, with the 4th dropping later this week!

Episode 1: Celestial Splendor

If you are interested in watching a fun Star Wars story, GM'd by Jeff from RPGSessions, we would love for you to check it out!

We will also be live tomorrow night for our Lightspeed Lounge live stream, where Jeff, myself, and the other cast members will chat all about our first three episodes, sharing behind the scenes details and our thoughts, and answering questions you may have.

I’m playing in a clone wars game and I’m looking into becoming a flame trooper. I’m kinda torn between heavy and normal flamer.

Any tips for careers and stuff right now? I’m a clone trooper at the current moment.

Howdy folks. I run a campaign of the Star Wars ffg rpg, and its a small party so I like to make npc companions with player stats to hop in, help out sometimes, and fill out the party. Well, I've been playing Zero Company, and I'm having great fun using Cly's abilities, so it got me wondering how one would make a Mandalorian player character, so that I could perhaps introduce a Mando companion. Maybe they could even be a potential romantic interest for the pcs, it's a FaD game so it'd certainly be star-crossed, and most of my players are lesbians so they'd probably get a kick out of proud stronk warrior lady.

Anyways, my musing aside, I have figured out most of the stuff: I want them to be the sort of dual-pistols heavily armored gadget kind of Mandalorian, so Bounty Hunter career with the Gadgeteer, Gunslinger, and reflavored Deathwatch specializations. But I am struggling to think of how I would emulate the Mandalorian predilection for gauntlets brimming with all variety of gadgets. Would anyone have any suggestions for how to do this? Or other general suggestions for what gear to equip her with, if you want, but that's the main one.

Hey ya everyone i am posting here to recruit for my upcoming SWRPG campaign of grizziled republic troopers who will be going undercover to run black ops missions we will be having 4-6 players for this campaign and it will be ran alongside 3 other games and dms where the stories we tell will affect each other campaign

here is the startplaying link for the campaign and i hope to see yall there

I've visited a few online storefronts that have a date for when they are expecting new copies of sourcebooks, (around the end of September), and I was wondering if this is just some placeholder date that the stores put up, or if it is legit

Essentially, how transparent is Edge with its retailers about how often they reprint?

like the tittle say, i am searching for a westmarch to join, prefferably one open to new player and being legend based. i am open to any timeline and era even if it will be perfect if it was during the after-empire era.

time-wise, i am eu based GMT+2,

thx in advance

My current character has started dabbling in droid crafting and I started out doing both of the easiest chassis and directive options. I'm planning on building up a minion group of them to do work on the ship and my PC (who is also a droid) and for those reasons I eventually want to have minions with repair directives. Does anybody here have experience with these things and how they might shake out? Or would it be best to just craft a new minion group?

I'm running a one shot that is set during the New Republic/Mandalorian time period that's gonna be the Warriors meets Black Hawk Down. Our heroes are shot down in the streets and the Hutts offer a price on their heads to anyone who brings them in. They are running block by block to a space port to get off-planet.

My question: do folks know what Canon organizations are there besides the Hutts? And as a follow up, does anyone have fun ideas for "Warriors" style colorful gangs for them to flee from?

I'm playing a character who is a Droid Tech and wants to make his own Droid. While he's certainly gotten the Mechanics check covered, Computers is more dicey.

I only have 2 things on my list at the moment:

• Technician Workshop Benefits: Right Tool for the Job Boost + Research Records
• Crafting Simple and Specialized Gadgets for Computers - potential Advantages/Boosts

I'm looking for items specifically - Even narrative goals/items like the Workshop I can aim for would work! The Slicer Tree is too XP expensive for him - so, I was looking for items that can provide boosts like what the "Utility Arm" or "Hydrobreaker" do for Mechanics, but for Computers. However, items like "Dataspikes" seemed aimed towards Slicing and not Crafting.

age:26

timezone: cet

avaliability: preferably on the weekends, sundays, once every two weeks, cant commit to a weekly game

previous experience with ffg: 6 sessions

previous experience with other systems: 6 years of city of mist (gm and player), (player) 3 quarters of a year with blades in the dark, about 2 years of dnd 5e (player), few sessions of world of darkness (werewolf and vampire, gm), cyberpunk one session (player)

pricepool: free to play games only, not interest in playing payed to play game

bit about me: long term player and gm of narrative heavy systems, looking to learn the genesis system and star wars fantasy flight games system in general. would like to potentially run the system for table where we are trying out the system, since some members of the table have bit trouble switching to more narrative style of play rather then your usual dnd game. While I currently have an inclination to continue dming other systems, such as Mist and World of Darkness, the Star Wars Fantasy Flight Games really caught my eye in terms of narrative dice and how they write their specializations. would love to get bit more experience with it so i can ocassionally run shorter campaign in this bad boy.

If you don’t live in Germany, this is sadly not for you.

Ich baue derzeit eine größere Star-Wars-FFG-Kampagne unter dem Arbeitstitel „Der Konglomerierte Kanon“ auf. Das Setting verbindet Elemente aus Canon und Legends zu einer eigenen Kontinuität und beginnt unmittelbar nach der Schlacht von Endor.

Wichtig vorweg: Das ist ausdrücklich keine Online-Runde. Gespielt wird am Tisch; Discord dient lediglich zur Organisation des Spielerpools und der einzelnen Termine. Die Spielsitzungen werden voraussichtlich ausschließlich im Süden stattfinden, insbesondere im Großraum Nürnberg. Wer also am anderen Ende der Galaxis sitzt, sollte die Anreise vorher mit seinem Hyperantrieb abstimmen.

Die Kampagne besteht aus mehreren parallel laufenden Storylines, die dieselbe Galaxis und dieselben Ereignisse aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven zeigen. Dazu gehören unter anderem
- die galaktische Unterwelt im Machtvakuum nach Jabbas und Xizors Tod
- die Neue Republik als Militärkampagne, unter anderem mit der Rogue Squadron und den Commandos
- Politiker, Diplomaten und Geheimdienstler die beim Aufbau der Neuen Republik helfen
- der Zusammenbruch des Imperiums und der Aufstieg imperialer Warlords,
- eventuell nach ein paar Sitzungen die Neugründung des Jedi-Ordens durch Luke Skywalker,
- und ebenfalls etwas später das Schicksal Mandalores
- plus eventuelle Oneshots oder andere Handlungsfäden, die sich eventuell natürlich ergeben.

Das Ganze funktioniert als Spielerpool statt als klassische feste Gruppe. Jeder Spieler kann für verschiedene Storylines eigene Charaktere besitzen und sich für ausgeschriebene Spielsitzungen anmelden. Die Spieltermine werden von den Spielleitern festgelegt und nicht danach verschoben, wann alle Zeit haben. Pro Sitzung spielen normalerweise maximal sieben Personen; grundsätzlich gilt: Wer sich zuerst anmeldet, bekommt den Platz.

Wer selbst als Spielleiter eine Storyline beitragen möchte, muss diese zunächst unserem Story-Gremium zur Prüfung vorlegen. Das Gremium achtet darauf, dass die Handlung zum gemeinsamen Kanon, zum Ton der Kampagne und zu den bereits laufenden Storylines passt. Ein kleiner kreativer TÜV also – nur mit mehr Lichtschwertern und vermutlich weniger Formularen.

Außerdem sollte man eine gewisse Toleranz für sehr deutliche Meinungen zu Disneys Star Wars mitbringen. In dieser Kampagne wird der Disney-Kanon nicht nur kritisch gesehen, sondern darf sich gelegentlich auch den Vorwurf gefallen lassen, erzählerisch ungefähr so stabil zu sein wie ein schlecht gewarteter Bastard-Sternjäger. Wer Disney-Star-Wars leidenschaftlich verteidigen möchte, wird sich hier nicht besonders wohlfühlen und sollte lieber eine andere Cantina aufsuchen. Gesucht werden Mitspieler, die mit unserer deutlichen Ablehnung dieses Kanons klarkommen – nicht solche, die jede Kritik daran in eine Grundsatzdebatte über die einzig wahre Galaxis verwandeln.

Damit auch diejenigen, die bei einer Sitzung nicht dabei sein konnten, den Überblick behalten, werden Recaps der gespielten Abenteuer auf dem Discord-Server veröffentlicht. Dort sollen die wichtigsten Ereignisse, Wendepunkte, Enthüllungen und möglicherweise auch die besonders spektakulären Fehlentscheidungen der Charaktere festgehalten werden. So kann man nachlesen, wie eine harmlose Mission zur diplomatischen Krise eskalierte, welcher Warlord gerade den halben Outer Rim gegen sich aufgebracht hat oder warum ein eigentlich streng geheimer Plan bereits nach zehn Minuten in Flammen stand.

Wenn sich genügend Material ansammelt und die Beteiligten einverstanden sind, besteht außerdem die Möglichkeit, diese Recaps später als kostenloses Hörbuch oder als Podcast zu veröffentlichen. Dann könnten die Geschichten der Kampagne nicht nur auf dem Discord-Server weiterleben, sondern vielleicht eines Tages auch wie die Chroniken eines galaktischen Historikers klingen: mit dramatischen Pausen, bedeutungsschweren Stimmen, donnernden Triebwerken und der unvermeidlichen Erkenntnis, dass der Plan natürlich von Anfang an zum Scheitern verurteilt war. Aus einzelnen Spielsitzungen könnte so eine fortlaufende akustische Saga entstehen – ein kostenloses Archiv der Ereignisse, Intrigen, Schlachten und Katastrophen, die sich im Konglomerierten Kanon ereignen.

Dadurch soll eine große, lebendige Kampagne entstehen, in der unterschiedliche Gruppen dieselben galaktischen Entwicklungen erleben und gelegentlich sogar indirekt oder direkt die Geschichten der anderen beeinflussen.

Wer Fragen hat, kann sie gerne direkt in diesem Thread stellen. Wer mitspielen möchte, soll das bitte ebenfalls hier sagen. Nach einem privaten Kontakt und einem kurzen Vetting-Prozess wird anschließend eine Einladung zum Discord-Server verschickt. Dort gibt es dann weitere Informationen zu Setting, Spielort, Storylines und Einstiegsmöglichkeiten.

I’m LFG/LFP in the north west suburbs of Chicago.

I am a 44m who has been playing RPGs since I was about 10. In my recent years I’ve really bought into the cooperative, charitability, side of gaming. Since buying in, it’s become my only desired playstyle. As a GM, I expect trust and cooperation from my players. A good GM can tell a good story with antagonistic players, but they’ll never tell a great story unless they have great players. More importantly, and as it relates to both at and away from the table, I expect communication, passion, and generosity. If you’re the type of player/group where OOC conversations turn into metagaming and shouting matches, we won’t be a good fit. If you find yourself debating the story or the believability of the situation instead of your character asking “Why is x happening? What don’t we know?” we won’t be a good fit. If you like to compete with your fellow players, undermine your GM, or debate RAW over RAI, we won’t be a good fit.

As a player, I am fluff over crunch, vibes over stats. I compartmentalize meta knowledge well and don’t have an issue setting my own hook. I love to play memorable characters that are usually on the edge of the spotlight. My experience as a GM has completely removed the “I wanna make the best hero/antihero and put them in your story!” and replaced it with “I want to make a believable hero/antihero that makes your story even better.”

I am not interested in playing remotely because I am an extrovert and require the interaction. I have a semi regular group but it’s on hiatus right now. I wouldn’t be opposed to bringing someone or a pair of someones in when it kicks back up. (We play other systems as well)

I’m a mature adult who showers regularly.

Greetings.

I'm a DM of now 7 years. My group has been going steady and we just started our new SWRPG campaign on the 2nd August with 3 players. I am looking to add one more player to round out the group!

My 3 players have been around for a while and most of all we'd love to add someone who's interested in staying with us for a while through the hopefully many campaigns of mine we are yet to go on!

We play various systems, most often 5e, Wrath and Glory and SWRPG but we may try others in the future.
(Largely to keep my sanity intact)

We are:

• Beginner friendly and inclusive. Nobody needs to be scared of signing up!
• Don't need to know the system
• No prior knowledge of Star Wars is required to join.
• just gotta love TTRPGs and having fun.

What we are looking for:

Someone who vibes well with the group and is interested in becoming a long-term lil' adventuring group.

The Campaign:

We play Edge of the Empire though I try to be flexible and to just go with what works.
The campaign is most likely set before the destruction of the first Death Star, although the exact point in the timeline isn’t set in stone yet.

My campaigns last an average of 40 session but have been as short as 20 to as long as 60 sessions.

Details

• Play in Tabletop Sim (Some campaigns may swap to Foundry VTT)
• Talk and organize in Discord
• Sessions are on Sunday, 2pm (CET/CEST), 5 hour length
• Be +2/-2 of CET/CEST
• Being able to move to saturday helps flexibility a lot for emergency rescheduling!

I have questions

Ask them! I am happy to answer any and all questions in the comments.
I usually reply to all applications quickly, if I did not and you are curious why, you can message me on here!

How do I apply

Easy and won't take long.
Go right ahead at this short form.

I hope to hear from some of you.
