Star wars Tri-Shot

[young fjord]

Campaign Name: How did we get here to fighting a Sith Lord again?
DM: GhostDragon
System: Homebrew, Dnd 5e/star wars 5E (just have some die, star wars 5E character sheets we'll learn/make together but otherwise just gonna be mostly roleplay and improvising/learning)
Date/Time: undetermined date as of yet just gauging interest but time will be determined roughly off when I'm awake and can do a session, which sessions will be 6-8 hours long and maximum at 3 sessions hence "Tri-shot" .
Time Zone: GMT +10/11, AEST.
Available Spots: 6
Preferred Player Experience: Any experience playing a tabletop board game and using dice may apply here, specifically through discord and theatre of the mind as that's how i'll do it.
Preferred Player Age: 20+ . 18-19 is a stretch and won't ever GM for any age younger unless you are supervised with a parental guardian who is joining as well and the other players are content with it. Rating will be somewhere between M and MA15+ roughly.
Setting: The old republic Era. Loosely based on canon around star wars knights of the old republic and the star wars old republic mmorpg setting.
Themes: Space sci-fi, criminal underworld, pew pew lasers, potentially mild horror in regards to the Sith, star wars stuff (This is a known IP by many)
Description: A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. The ancient foes of the Jedi, the Sith Empire
return from the edges of the galaxy to usher in a great galactic war that wages across the galaxy giving most that live within it a little break after just recovering from the Jedi
Civil War but good credits is to be had for those that work freelance in the galactic underworld when war brews as our intrepid space smugglers find out.

First time trying this here and depending how this goes may do actual dnd stuff down the line (think of this as a good chance to gather a bunch of buddies you know for trying out and/or getting to know each other in case down the line I post up for my dnd homebrew world.)

Ok as said, first time posting here so ask questions please and for mods do let me know if i'm not allowed to post say youtube videos here for examples of stuff etc though judging from the thing i can post some images at least and will write down what i couldn't due to word limit the fact that i don't intend for this to be railroaded but as it will be first one shot for me basically i have the start written and the expected ending point of the "tri-shot" give or take and it's just plot hooks/points in the middle of freeform whatever see how we get there. Will write least amount of spoilers below on the aforementioned starting and ending point.

(Also my DMs are closed normally to prevent spam so if your lurking and private DM usually please poke me here so I can send a message/turn on message requests for such.)

Be gentle and patient please slimelies.

Also i may not take on players if folk i know have friends already willing to group up together for this, i am just broadening and branching out.

-Enough rambling but here's the written stuff to eat a whole fried gundark with.

The player characters having just met a day or two before out at Rishi moon in the outer Rim where they've been contracted under a smuggling team in a modified XS Stock light frighter (Like Han Solos ship sort of) to Risnussu a planet between the core worlds of republic space and the rapidly expanding territories of the sith empire from the edges of the northern galaxy recently dubbed the seat of the empire.

Somehow, somewhere eventually, along the line of the mini-campaign tri-shot, our characters enraged and now are face to face in a clash with a sith lord for some reason before they can finally catch a break at the cantina or meet a grisly end.<<

-Another note that I would prefer a group of already known to each other players and fine otherwise but hope for everyone to respect each other and should mention that ideally want everyone to be honest when/if we get together in another server about boundaries, what you are fine with and what you are not fine with, in case any topics get bought up in the tri-shot. LGBTQIA+ very welcome as i am also in that umbrella of sorts.

Though it is star wars and I should avoid most topics but like i'm gonna be honest as the rating i put there's a chance of seeing Sith doing Sith things involving dark side stuff like Force lightning and all that on their baddie subordinates, (must suck working for them).

[young fjord]

some reference images i can find of some of the stuff in this setting/era i'm mostly/loosely basing on the tri-shot (Not everything is to it's canon in Tri-shot)

The Republic and Sith Empire ships controlled by Jedi of the light and dark burning the galaxy in war.

Some general splash screens and i'll leave it off for tonight.

-Clarification on times, the sessions will be 6-8 hours long maximum with breaks of 15-30 Minutes (whatever allows players a mental break, stretch and daily chores) but it is due to me not having' much experience moving along a one shot to be done within a day (only experience DMing with friends in long campaigns) and so it's extended to 3 sessions minimum.

These are not dates it would state (That will be worked out with the group) but are examples of times i may start the sessions.

<t:1684134000:t> <t:1684119600:t> <t:1684107300:t> (Later then <t:1684139700:t> will have to be 3-5 hours but again would all depend on how it goes as the tri-shot may move slower or faster then expected.)

3/6 potential tentative player slots taken so far. Welcome to apply still as discussions on time and availability haven't been sorted yet.

-A new note that a force sensitive/force user character discussion will need to be at and held on a table consensus and is the only workshop needed for background leading to character starting in the session. However, you have free reign and can ask me for help otherwise on making almost any kind of character in this setting to point of the character having resorted to working freelance and with the various underworlds of the galaxy in some shape or form.

Aim for something that fits 2 pages of paper roughly at most but you don't have to develop too much if you just want "this person used to work for ____ and has been since a freelance mercenary, smuggler or bounty hunter that is joining up with this one last job for the Hutt Cartels." As an example.

Also a note here for potential players looking i couldn't mention before on word count for how the system of play will work.

We'll probably be making character sheets via SW5R which is a free modification of 5th edition dnd and/or trying to play by typical dice rules for the most part but i should mention that I'll be homebrewing by interpreting most actions by d20 dice and combat via d4, d6, d8, d12 on whats being used in what instance. (Going off what I know already in 5E and will be learning otherwise).

Starship space stuff is something we will be doing hopefully still but if it happens to get too confusing on how to play it, as everything in this, I'm open to workshoping and simplifying it further if needed (like real simple being just a few raw d20s and modifers and stuff).

Ok will update next on post when more slots fill, dates or post closing.

@here Attention Spacers! Will be doing a session zero with players on the first of june <t:1685575800:F> , <t:1685586600:F> and <t:1685561400:F> to work out times, what the table is doing and anything added or removed, what we're comfortable with and general meeting each other etc. Handing out invites now and currently have 3/6 confirmed players possibly and another 2 tentative making rather space for one or three more depending. Using star wars 5E/dnd 5e basically mechanics.

Posting will be closed around this time!

Welcome to bring your star wars OCs reflavoured for the era and game characters from knights of the old republic/star wars the old republic as well.

@young fjord Hey! Don't know if you guys still need another player but I'd love to chit-chat with you in DMs a bit and see if I'd be a good fit. Just shoot me a private message whenever you see this if able, otherwise have fun with your games!

[young fjord]

Can't DM to you but we are currently working through characters, times and what we'll be expecting in oneshot/campaign. At presumably if no absences 5 out of 6 players.

[tame folio]

Well I'd love to fill that last slot if able. I should tell you in advance I am an 18 year old recently graduated, I leave for the military during the summer and am looking for some fun one-shots and that sort of thing to fill some time before I leave. Lots of experience with dnd back in middle school and my earlier high school years but I haven't consistently played in a while.

[young fjord]

If a slot opens by time of session zero i'll let you know before closing the posting but I wish you luck in whatever you do going forward otherwise.
