In this thread, we will discuss the joint SWC New Jedi Trials and Acolyte of Darkness RPG that I would like to get going. I don't want to discuss any specific storyline things. We're not using this thread to plan the game from start to finish. I'll get a co-gm for that later. I'll probably be looking for a co-gm from the AoD, so if anyone is interested, let me know. However, I would like to use this thread to set a firm foundation on where you would like it set, the state of the galaxy, etc etc. I'll leave this discussion pretty open for now, so if you have any thoughts, please post them up. :) Also, if you could state if you are interested in playing or not, that is acceptable as well. |

I'm afraid I'm not going for that state of the galaxy. The Jedi and Sith need to be on equal footing, with their own Temples that are strong enough to repel attack. I won't be giving any order such unequal advantages. A war could work. I'll have to think about that. At any rate, this RPG should focus on the temples, of course. It'll probably be a pretty open game in some regards, while still following an overall story. Let's see........ I think I'll be ready to start it up, actually, If I can get a little more AoD interest and a Co-Gm from the AoD who can head up that order. |

I'm not sure of the scale you want here, but how about just the Sith invading the Jedi Temple?(Either Yavin 4 or Coruscant.) That would keep it nice and simple. |

That would work I we were simply doing a Jedi and Sith RP. However, I feel that since we are basing this RP on two pre-existing orders within the JC, they both need equal representation within the game. Both temple need to play a major part, and all interactions between the orders will need to be done outside of the temples. It's a valid point, but I don't think it best. And, besides, I don't like simply stories. :p

:p How about a Sith artifact on one of those mysterious planets far away, and both the Jedi and the Sith are racing to find it. :mischief: Or both sides could launch attacks on the other's temple at the same time :silly: |

lol. Yes, that second scenario is going to make for an interesting story. *Sith Side* We've entered the temple! Now, Die Jedi Scu....... um......... it's empty....... *Jedi Side* We've entered the Temple! Now, prepare to be...... uh....... where are they all? :p Actually, what little conversation we've had here has given me a general storyline, so right now I just need to know if I will have enough players to pull this game off. |

:p Cool, I didn't know I was that inspiring. :thinking: From past experience I know that as soon as I say I'm gonna be here, something will happen and I won't be able to. :cry: So I'm not sure what to say. :tired: |

The time period that it could take place would probably be either before the Clone Wars, or after the destruction of the second Death Star. Any time period between would have the Jedi as a stronger force than the Sith, which is what you don't want. I say that we should go for after the destruction of the second Death Star, probably a hundred or so more because it leaves all current canon characters out of boundaries and lets us play from a fresh start. Futhermore, the state of the Galaxy could possibly be peaceful, with the Jedi holding some sort of peace over it, but with small appearances of the Sith and deaths of several Padawan/Master teams. This would cause panic throughout the Jedi Order and it could lead to a war between the Jedi and the Sith in order to wipe the other out. The other possibility is that the state of the Galaxy could be balanced, with the Sith staying in their part while the Jedi stay in their part. The Sith could possibly have a couple people in the Senate, and the Galaxy could be sectored off depending on which planet is a Sith planet, and which one is a Jedi planet. Obviously, this means that Coruscant would be neutral, Korriban(sp?) would be Sith and Yavin 4 would be Jedi, due to continuity. That's what I have to say, and I would be willing to be the applications director or some other type of benefactor, as role playing games are what I do most of my time :) |

Very good ideas, and they are certianly worht considering. However, i was thinking more along the lines of complete AU... branching from the destruction of the second Death Star. The Emperor and Vader died, but so did Luke and Leia. Nemisis rose to power, while the Jedi were reformed by chukles. The Rebels lost many of their main leaders in the destruction following the battle of Endor, and they pulled out to the outer rims. The Empire, weakened by the most recent battles, pullled into the core worlds where Nemisis is reforming the Empire. Both sides are now settled and are begining to advance upon the other. There would be many nuetral planets that would be the battlegrounds for the RP. Anyways, basic story overview. Ideas? |

That would work :). So, everyone from the movies dies? Maybe Luke had lost against Vader, and the death of his son meant redemption. He kills Palpatine and himself, while Leia and Han die on Endor as the base blows up? The clones could also play some role in this, but IDK. |

Pretty much everyone from the movies would die... al the major people, at any rate. This would probably be set about ten years after Endor. |

Maybe the Jedi and the Sith could be forced to work together on something? |

Possibly... it has potential, but that would be something that I would want to work into the story, so I would keep anything like that under-wraps throughout the game. I'll have to think about that..... |

Chukles38, I have an idea where your thoughts could be ideal. Though I was thinking of putting it together when I could, but right now I can not. Here it is: After the war the galaxy turned against ALL force users. Destroying all the temples that could be found. No Jedi Temples, except Yavin4 for the Jedi, and Korriban for the Sith. These though have been made into museums. (ms) There is now a "Special" Police force that has taken all surviving force users to Myrkr as a penial colony. For over 100 years that is where they were. The starting age is about 10-15 years, for they must grow in the force to become actually force users. It can co-inside with other goals too. Each person must decide how there life goes or preceeds. There is no set time line, or set goals other than stop a new Dark Lord from taking over. I was going to start it 100 years after Darth Krayt, for the "Special forces" to have the right equipment. |

That is a very intriguing idea. I'll have to think on it. Thanks Killroak. |

If you have any questions just ask. If you want, I can put it on here, and send it to you. It is a long role playing game, with many side plots as they grow up. Like I said, it can put the "training" of the Jedi and Sith in a game. Yes I know that people will come and go, but that is why we have "Side Plots". ;) I will type it up for you to see on black and white, then you can see the whole thing. |

I'm very interested in this game Chuckles. But i didn't know this thread was here!! You should post it in the Trials! I have NEVER RP'd before so I have no idea how to do it. But I think it's a good idea to set it in a period of time where we can be free to make things up without being toorestricted by existing SW canon. Especially since I am far behind on my EU reading. Is there anywhere I can read up on protocol/rules/hints on how to play RPG?? |

If you're after a RPF-specific guide, there's this thread that was put together as an intro to RPing. It's a bit comprehensive, but don't worry, the basic training section is all you need to get started. I'll be happy to answer questions about RPing, too, if you like.
