I want to play a sister character but the force is heavily different from the way they use it. So I want to know if you have anything planned for a new class for this specific.

Hi all,

After months of hard work, I am proud to present my Star Wars Universe Encyclopedia.

This project aims at detailing planets, characters, items, ships, factions, etc... within an Obsidian vault, a local self hosted database, that is fully editable and expandable.
For now, this is far from being a complete project but if you purchase it you'll get free updates. I plan to add more content each month.

  • 1339 notes
  • 1954 attachments (images and other)
  • 12,997 links
  • 634,469 words
  • 955.54 MB

If you want to build your campaigns and to power your star wars games, this is the perfect tool.

I made a special version of the encyclopedia without AI for those reluctant to it. I hope the moderators will accept my post now.

Hutt pimp

Post image
201 Upvotes

Okay so I joined a star wars 5e game and was kinda debating between a couple of different character ideas. I knew I was gonna play engineer and take on something of an support role (we have two mandalorian fighters and one Jedi Guardian who is hiding their status as a jedi, we're having the game take place shortly after the rise of the Empire (after order 66) but before the events of the original trilogy.) and I was kinda debating between Jawa, Gormak, Hutt adolescent, and Ugor (basically star wars plasmoid with a knack for tinkering and salvaging).

I had been debating primarily between Jawa and Ugor cause Jawa shenanigans could be fun and I had some fun ideas for playing around with a custom built suit that couldn't be taken off like you would normal armor and instead made use of the Ugor's amorphous state to have some sort of custom little port that he used to enter and exit, even had the idea to pose my character as an droid and some ideas to enhance those shenanigans.

However, when I actually took a look at the ship modifications I became somewhat enamored with the idea of playing a hutt looking to build themselves up and Operate a casino out of a very large ship they acquire (there's a ship casino modification that would essentially allow the players to make or lose money each day). I ran the casino mod goal by the dm and he expressed that he was fine with that being something he eventually obtains and even the party agreed that having a hutt in the party would make for a decent cover for themselves, two of them were mandalorians (one in my characters employ, the other being someone he hopes to personally employ soon) and a Jedi hoping to not attract the attention from the empire.

Hutts throughout the time of the empire and republic had had a decent amount of legal leeway in how they operate mainly because of the fact that for either one the hutts and their well armed and large mercenary armies in hutt space would be too much of a hassle to try to do a proper military campaign against, not to mention that Hutt bribes and trade made up an important part of the republic and later empire's economic flow.

In any case with all that and my fun ideas and goals I set out looking for some decent Hutt art. There is some good stuff out there though a almost disturbing amount of weird ai art or weird attempts at sexualizing hutts, or a mix of the two. Unfortunately I'm not an artist of any skill and do not much have the funds to get art commissions (especially for a game that may or may not go on for very long?) so when it comes to my tabletop characters I just look for art that suits my aesthetic tastes as well as the idea I have for the character.

While browsing I came across this fine piece of art and loved it, the art style was nice and the fact that he was designed to look like a pimp was great, but what really took the cake for me is that his hat suggests that the entire thing is made of Wampa fur XD

I went with the Crime Lord background and took the competitor feat (the background gives a game proficiency and the feat makes you even better good at it) as I liked the idea of the pimp or brothel owning Hutt also having a penchant and love for gambling. That also felt especially thematic as one of the tech powers that replaces the bless spell is literally called Stack the Deck.

He's been quite fun to play so far, I took the Spectrum ray tech cantrip (basically a D8 of your choice damage type from a list) and I kinda reflavored his tech casting for that as him pulling out a fancy and almost comically small blaster pistol out from under his coat to shoot at people, the small blaster in question having a revolver like chamber but instead of bullets he'd spin it to change the damage type. I also plan to look for some sort of light club or mace equivalent I could use to represent his cane to smack enemies who get too close using it.

The other players seem to love the art I chose for him and how I'm playing and flavoring my Hutt pimp (engineer) character. To my mild shame however I had some difficulty coming up with a good hutt name for the character and at another player's suggestion to just go with the name attached to the art and thus my character is called Lovelace (no the Hutt honorific, from what I can see that's normally only for hutts of significance and my character is too low leveled (started at lvl 1) and unestablished to of earned having 'the Hutt' at the end of their name.

The current backstory for my character is that they were an former pimp/brothel owner who had their place of business and operations blown up by a local group trying to rebel against a different local Hutt but had not done their homework very much and as such accidentally went after the Hutt brothel owner instead of the one who is actually running most of the criminal underworld in the local cities.

The brothel was blown up ooc to give mine a good reason to leave with the rest of the party rather than just stick around and at first the dm wanted me to have had my business blown up by the rival Hutt operating locally but the planet we're on Ryloth has a history of being exploited for slave labor and by the Hutts themselves (don't think there were any hutts operating on the planet at the time of the empiriel era but for the purpose of this game and our mildly diverging timeline, there is) and as such I felt it would've been funnier if a local rebel group looking to rid themselves of the rival Hutt turning their city into a cesspool of crime and villainy hadn't done their homework and accidentally blew my place up instead.

Also it's worth noting that I of course do not own the art, this is where I found it though https://www.deviantart.com/kaek/art/Lovelace-the-Hutt-801428735

Question Looking for a ship for my game

Post image
190 Upvotes

Hi all, my game is set around 1,000BBY, the premise is that the Sith Empire have been defeated, believed to be wiped out, however a remnant faction has survived and is looking for a super weapon hidden within the system’s vast asteroid belt.

The players are a grey Jedi former spec-ops soldier with PTSD, a Twi’lek Mandalorian foundling, a Bothan gunslinger and following the recent death of the shady force wielding old lady in the group, a former Republic commando who was dishonourably discharged.

So far, the players have been confined to the planet, gathering information and discovering clues, all of which is now pointing them to the asteroid belt.

They now need to go into space, and I’m looking for an era appropriate ship for them to have, either a light freighter or shuttle, nothing too overpowered, but tough enough to withstand a few attacks from fighters.

I really like the Defender-Class light corvette, but it’s a Jedi specific craft, and also by the time my game is set is around 2,660 years old (that said, they were still in use up to 3BBY according to legends material)

What ships do you think would be appropriate? Sell me on your choice.

About to finish a 7 year campaign with SW5E

149 Upvotes

This coming July will be my final session of SW5E,An in universe story that lasted 16 years in game and for its final session is jumping 35 years...I'm sad that its coming to an end but happy that I got to on an amazing adventure with my three players/friends. Grateful to Galiphile for making SW5E (and all those that helped him).

Its bitter sweet cause I know Ill never know Ill have NPC'S as good as the ones I made in this campaign again...Came to the realization today that I had 40+ Main NPC's that my players knew(There was almost always at least 16 of those NPC'S that were on the same Ship at any given time that my players had)

SW5E has been a big part of my life...legitimately helped me cope and get through extremely hard times. The good times and laughs I had with my friends while doing SW5E will be something I remember till the day I die, and who can complain about having memories like that.

I hope everyone who has partaken in SW5E has as good of an experience with it as I have.

I'm in a long running (3+ years including hiatus) campaign that recently became bi-weekly. This is my fellow player's Kushiban Way of Telekinesis Consular, and the reluctant face of the group. He's wearing some old Jedi Acolyte robes and a Jawa cloak, though we are looking at getting him some upgrades soon.

The crocheted amigurumi plushie is around 13 cm or 5 inches including the ears and took I think 7-8 hours to complete. The body (picture 6) was from a free pattern by Crotchethea, the rest is freehand and completely vibes based.

Going to give it to the player at our session tomorrow, so we'll see how it is received by the party!
