Alright guys, so as you've noticed i've yet to name our campaign, but that'll come once I know what kind of campaign we'll have!
First off the following link will take you to my dropbox so you can access the needed rulebooks for your own knowledge, but primarily so you can make a character. The ultimate alien anthology hold a plethora of species throughout the star wars universe, and the core rulebook holds the more well known. Have a look and choose one that you think is interesting / fits with the personality style you want your character to have.
Star Wars Materials
After that, look at the various classes. These are found in the class sections of both the core rulebook and the hero's guide. Please look in both books, they've added some pretty cool classes in the hero's guide
Once you've decided on what you think you'd like, please shoot me a message or text to confirm that that class / species will be allowed within the timeline of our campaign (which will be sometime during the Old Republic, so Sith and Jedi abound). There really are only a few restrictions and typically because a species is too rare to really be seen, or would draw too much attention.
Next, find the code you'll need to put your stats into. Under character sheets you'll find a list of sheets. You'll need "character sheet code", "skills set" code, and "feats code". If you're going to be a force user you'll also need the force skill and force feats code. Copy and paste each part into a separate reply within one thread labeled with your character name. (For example of format see "Apolloluy's" character sheet) This thread should be posted within "New campaign" and then "Character sheets" PLEASE NOTE: Use the "PREVIEW" portion to easily edit your code, otherwise it'll be really difficult to try and see where you need to put the info: PLEASE NOTE
Then, start your character creation. We'll be using the "Random generation" method on page 17 of the core rule book. Basically you'll roll 4D6 (in the code) and then total the top three dice for your scores. You'll need to do this 6 times, then pick where you want your scores to correlate. Pages 18-19 explain what each Ability counts towards.
And then move on to skills and feats selection.
I know this seems like a lot, especially if its your first time going through a major character creation, but if you require any help I'll be here to text or we can get together and do your character together, or even over phone / skype.
And then at the end please create a character history. I'd prefer not everyone see eachothers, so either message me with your history or you can use the spoiler code. I'd prefer if you just sent it to me as people can still click on the spoiler code and see the histories. Part of the fun is to learn about everyone's backstory through the RP
Minimally I'd appreciate place of origin, how your character grew up / survived, where they grew up, what they're doing now to survive, personality, and possibly a few goals where appropriate.
If you're playing a force character outside of the order, then how did you discover and master your powers, etc.
If you're part of the order, when / how were you found. Who brought you to the jedi temple, which jedi temple did you study at. Who was your master? How did you make your first lightsaber / pass your jedi knight tests?
The histories can be as brief or long as you want. BUT, longer they are the more I can tailor the campaign at a personal level
. Have fun with it!
Lastly, read over the house rules in the new campaign section of the site. Feel free to look at how some of the other campaigns ran. Shadows of the force was the first one I ran on this site and worked a bit differently than we will. Death of the force is a lot closer to how we'll play, so keep that in mind when reading. Those can now be found on yourstarwars.proboards.com
And, finally....I'm always here to answer questions! This should be a fun thing, no stress. So PLEASE use me rather than get really frustrated haha.
