Hello All
I recently got hold of a new Star Wars Edge of Empire pre written adventure module and am actually finding the time this week to read some of the core rulebook (yay!)
Would anyone like to give this a go? At first glance it looks like about 6 sessions worth of gaming (although I'll be able to estimate better when I've read more) for 3 to 5 players.
I'd plan to run it on a Monday night - possibly alternately with the end of Stephen's D&D game?
It might be a good opportunity to learn the rules and game before launching into a longer campaign?
Here's the plotline (roll yellow text on black background plus fanfare music):
Amid a backdrop of galactic civil war, a huge space
station know as the WHEEL is one of the few places
still beyond the Emperor's reach, attracting low-lifes,
fortune-seekers, and refugees alike.
Meanwhile, a derelict message pod discovered by an
illicit tech company on the Wheel gives new life to
old smugglers' stories about a long-lost Separatist
treasury ship, the SA NALAOR. The wreck lies at the
edge of WILD SPACE, waiting to be found by those
brave or crazy enough to look........
(Finally - shameless plug for the other RPG session I'm planning to run - a pathfinder game on 13th October - see the RPG section of the message board for details)

I'd be interested in this, and I've finally managed to get hold of some of the dice to go with my rulebook.

Great stuff. I've got some dice too and I think Damon has two sets? (assuming I've remembered correctly and assuming he would like to play! )

So, let me get his straight
A "free" space station just on the edge of Empire controlled space
A long-lost treasure ship (possibly) belonging to a group of separatists
And a somewhat less than legal tech company claiming salvage rights
Add in smugglers, pirates, bounty hunters and other assorted low-lifes (plus, of course, the inevitable Imperial complications) and I think I'm going to need a bigger gun
Count me in

Great that's at least 3 players  I'll bring the books down tonight but would suggest we have a proper character gen session on the 7th October (by which point I'll have read the adventure and more of the rules). |

Please put me down for first reserve for this if anyone falls by the way side. I have been waiting for the first person to blink and agree to run a game... I look away for half a minute and there has been a massive burst of activity !

Hi Martyn
Will do of course. Meanwhile, as I read through I'll think about whether it might work with six or indeed, with one more person, we might have enough for two groups? (With another gm)
I suspect it's the kind of game that works best with smaller numbers of players. Let's see how many are interested and go from there.
Chris

I've already done some thinking and working out of the character I'm thinking of playing.
So just thought I'd post some stuff up here so everyone can see roughly what at last one member of the groups likely to be before we do character creation next week.
I'm looking at playing a Human Explorer whose got a piloting focus, both Space and Planetary, plus astrogation (Navigation, hyper-jumping etc), and a little bit in quite a few other skills, including negotiation. Not much of a fighter, but some skill with blaster pistols.
The idea is he's some kind of finder/courier type guy. Takes on jobs to find or get stuff that people want. Would make a good pilot, or co-pilot if someone else wants to play a character where being the one at the helm of ship is their big thing.
I'm looking at a family obligation, with an extra debt obligation (for getting the family out of a hole) for some extra money for gear.
Haven't worked out all the details yet, have some ideas for how I'd like the obligations and motivations to work out, but want to wait to fully flesh that out until I've got some idea of what everyone else wants to do.

Hi all Unexpected things have eaten into my prep time this weekend and I'm afraid I'm not quite ready to begin our game  I'd sooner not start a new game under prepared but will have everything ready for the next slot on the 4th November Apologies for the delay! I will however be down tomorrow and will bring a board game or two Chris |

OK Chris, no problem
Actually, not too upset about this as I still haven't gotten around to writing my character background (my bad) and this gives me an extra fortnight to get it done
See you all tonight folks
