Interest Query

An old forum buddy and I (not from RS) are discussing beginning a SW RPG forum to run a single game at a time.
First game would be a Purge Era (between EPIII & EPIV) RPG based in the outer rim in the cantina I created for my stories (Called The Shaft).

I am wondering how many RS members may be interested. It would most likely be open to a set number of players (maybe a dozen), plus some "Staffers" who would run certain areas of the RPG, in order to maintain cohesion and manageability.

I thought only Sean was gifted with the ability to post in this forum!

I think it sounds like a good idea. I may or may not be able to participate, but it sounds like a good idea. The only flaw I see with it is this:

- Based on what I remember from the TZC, for most people, Jedi or Force Users are the only fun characters to play.

- This takes place shortly after the purge.

- It's hard to RPG as a dead Jedi.

Just my $.02.

i hope to have it set up so that other choices would be attractive as well...smugglers, enforcers, hiding jedi, bounty hunters....part of the challenge is in taking a character and making it work.

Participation will be limited to keep it clear. There will be sub-forums for different rooms/areas of the cantina (it has a gambling den below, as well as tunnels and a smuggler's area and the main bar).
I would need one MOd per room/area to run that space as a resident character.

Most likely it will be hosted at my website forum.

I will cast in my interest in a new SW RPG. I check back here at least a couple times a week, so I could probably post in rather frequently...

I am curious to hear what approach you wish to take on this, as TZC collapsed largely from lack of 'goals' in addition to the failing membership. Will someone provide occasional objectives, be objective-based, or largely free-roam?

I hope to provide a real enough setting and enough promptings through interaction with NPCs to keep it going.
I am an OLD school RPGer (from the pencil and 6 sided die days) and enjoy setting challenges, dropping hints at adventures to be had, and such.

Staff players would have some behind the scenes discussions in order to allow for a united front and the gathering of ideas/challenges to present to the players.

my apologies for the necropost, but this thread was "due" for deletion...

Has a decision been reached for the creation of an RP thread? Has any more thought been given to the prospect?

I am fleshing out the area on my site.
Prospective members should PM me so I do not lose their acknowledged interest.

I have perhaps 6 interested parties so far...I will likely get it set up and then just open it.

If you want to know more join up at my writer's forum and PM me your RPG interest. I will add you to the "players" group and you can see the bones of the set up.

The three main levels are The Shaft / Underside / & The Warrens. I have fan fiction posted at the site that helps set the stage and clue you in on what is what and who is who.

Still hoping to get all in order.
Got one prospective staffer and one prospective player besides myself.
Not enough, but a start.

I like the idea of the purge era. That's the most dangerous of times for jedi. Let's try it out.

An interesting part of the game can also be playing a Jedi in hiding who does not want to be recognized as a Force user and must either not do so or be so very careful.....
