After the Fall PbP gathering players

[ShadoWarrior 403]

 

 

This game is an Infinity, the premise of which is:

 

Anakin Skywalker arrives a few seconds too late to stop Mace Windu from killing Palpatine. In his rage at the loss of what he believes is the only means by which his wife might be saved, he kills the Jedi Master by hurling him out the window using the Force. Skywalker assumes command of the Grand Army of the Republic and initiates Order 66. Consumed by the Dark Side, he and the 501st Legion then kill everyone in the Jedi Temple. Meanwhile, General Grievous kills Obi-wan Kenobi on Utapau before Order 66 is received. Grievous then escapes to continue leading the CIS. Yoda kills Skywalker in the Senate building. Bail Organa becomes Supreme Chancellor in an emergency session of the Senate.

The Separatists obliterate Tipoca City by orbital bombardment, ending clone production. Less than six months later, Coruscant falls to the ever-increasing might of the Separatist droid armies, as does Alderaan and many other worlds. Without replacement clones, the Army of the Republic cannot sustain escalating battle losses. Grievous declares himself Emperor after eliminating a couple of CIS leaders and several Republic senators. This example is not lost on outspoken senators like Mon Mothma and Garm Bel Iblis, who flee and join Bail Organa, Padme Amidala (and her twins), and the remnants of the Republic navy out in the Rim Territories. A much-reduced Jedi Order led by Yoda scatters as the Empire mercilessly hunts them down.

The Clone Wars segues directly into the Galactic Civil War, with the Alliance to Restore the Republic fighting an insurgency against the new Empire. What would normally be 19 BBY in a canon timeline becomes year zero of the Imperial Era (0 IE). The campaign begins a few months after the creation of the Empire. The galaxy remains fractured and ablaze. Many sectors continue to openly resist the Empire, and with the bulk of what used to be the Republic navy under rebel control, the Empire is far from having the iron grip on the galaxy it would have had under the rule of Sith lords.

The Rebel fleet does contain clones. On the few ships that have both Jedi and clones aboard, relations are frigid between them. While the clones hold no antipathy for surviving Jedi (the clones were just following orders), the Jedi, understandably, do not trust clones after troops that had been thought to be honorable turned on their commanders. The Jedi Order was betrayed, and most Jedi will not work with clones, viewing them as less human than a protocol droid. At least droids are loyal.

 

The game will be hosted at this board. Further details about the game, character creation rules, and sign-up can be found in the game's OOC thread.

There are two is one slot remaining to be filled:

• Pilot-owner of a light freighter (cannot be a Jedi, but may be Force-sensitive)
• A 'Face' character (can be a Jedi Padawan)

I just offered to take Face if Jereru still wants Healer

Jereru has already posted an Artisan. Besides, you're already playing the Face in one of my other games. I'm not sure that I could handle you doing it in two of my games.

[Jereru 171]

Yeah, I was engineering the PC while you posted... I already play an Artisan, but it's ok, once I took the job to do it.

I thank you anyway.

[ShadoWarrior 403]

Recruitment is now closed. Thanks to everyone here at FFG's board for making this such a great place to find players.

I cannot post to Nemesis boards. I was not aware of this problem until just a bit ago, when I discovered none of my posts were there. Not sure what to do...should I post my xml files here for you to review Shado, and then hope the problem rights itself?

 

 

Consular: Healer

Definitely an interesting experience, but I'm not entirely satisfied. If I had some more XP to play with, I think it could be more playable, but not sure about it as a starting character. Willing to give it a go of course!

 

Warrior: Shii-Cho Knight

This one feels a bit more "Wookiee-ish" to me. The main difference here is I've bought down the Heal tree a bit, and am a bit more capable with a lightsaber. He uses Heal as a means of primary healing, although he's got a physician's kit which gives him a Boost die & an Advantage to successful checks, so he can fake his way through the more simple checks. He'll be learning more about Medicine as play progresses. 

 

Are either of these okay?

Is anyone else having trouble getting onto the game forums?

[Jereru 171]

I can't get them to work as for now.

[ShadoWarrior 403]

The server for our games on freeforums.org is down, as is the server for support.freeforums.org which would be used to report problems and see what is going on. Earlier, the entire freeforums.org domain was down. Since there was a period of time several hours ago when our particular server was up but very, very slow I suspect that they've been suffering from some sort of DDOS attack. If it was just a system maintenance thing they would have tweeted a notice. Other users are reporting the same outage for their sites on freeforums.org's Facebook page.

[Jereru 171]

Probably awaypturwpn hacked the Forums to have more time to build his PC

All Freeforums, Yuku, Lefora and Forumer networks are down at this time. Our technicians are working to bring everything back online. Thank you for your patience as this issue is addressed. We apologize for the inconvenience this is causing you.

 

[Jereru 171]

I'm trying every once and then. Meanwhile, I'm working on a (boring) translation for work. If anyone wants to help, it would be appreciated

[ShadoWarrior 403]

Now the server's DNS is not resolving. Either they're in the process of bringing a new server up or their problem is growing worse.

[ColonelCommissar 1,243]

And lo, awayputurwpn's prayers were answered...

[awayputurwpn 7,720]

As I tried to explain in one of my posts that got eaten by freeforums, I've been having some internet troubles and separate (but compounding) issues with my laptop. I'm currently doing this all by phone (and have been for the majority of the last three days), so very sorry at the lack of communication from myself. It's not for want of trying.

Shado, are there specific mechanical parameters for my character that I haven't met, or something specifically wrong with both those builds? Do I need to be able to do something that either of these builds cannot accomplish?

If you'd like me to do something specific, please let me know what that is! If you just dislike the characters in general and can't put a finger on it, that's fine too. I'm happy to take another shot in the dark.

Again, my apologies for the unintentional lack of communication. I hope to have everything resolved today in the Internet/laptop arena.

Our play group is having an ongoing conversation in PM regarding your character proposals, the forums being down, and whatever else amuses us while we wait.
