Saga Edition

[Darth_Variable]

Ok, so who besides myself have been keeping up with the new Saga edition previews on WOTC site?  Is anyone interested in picking up the new book(s).  I know Todd was talking about getting an RPG group together on the weekend and playing at someones house.  However, I don't know if that would really be practical for me.  I think anything that I do would probably have to be done down at the store.  Maybe a session later in the afternoon on Sundays or something like that.  If anyone is interested let me know.  I plan on picking up the new corebooks next month when they are supposed to be released.

i have also been looking at the new saga edition previews as well. i have never played the game before but i will be getting the saga edition book.

Oh good...then maybe we can stumble through some scenarios together.

I was thinking of instead of doing one large RPG campaign, to setup several missions along a single story line.  Preferably missions that could be accomplished in one or two sessions which ultimately link together and lead you to a final goal.

Like for instance (not that I would use this) getting the death star plans to the rebels.  Each "chapter" in the journey would be a session or two as the plans move from place to place.

I've already started working on a Story line, I can break it down into chapters and then craft RPG sessions around those chapters.

sounds good. i got to get the new RPG book when it comes out so i will be able to help you out with scenarios. 

[Darth_Variable]

I'm pretty sure I can adapt the story line for RPG play.  The only issue I expect to have is with the mechanics of character generation and actually running the scenario, rolling and ruling and stuff like that.  I want to start breaking the story line down into chapters and then laying them out from a RPG standpoint with background character genreations and adaptations to existing maps and see where I go from there.

Ideally I don't want to run just 'shoot em up' type styles of RPGs.  I'd like some thinking, some mystery, some diaglog, and of course lots of action

when does the new RPG book come out.

[Darth_Variable]

Last I heard it was slated to come out around the same time as the new minis set.  So some time mid to late next month I think.

when does the new RPG book come out.

[Darth_Vessero]

Yea I look forward to getting it too. You guys think we can get a group together or something??

[Darth_Variable]

I'd love to get a game together.  nothing too hard core at first.  Maybe just something to get everyone comfortable with the game and build the characters up a bit.

I'm working hard outlining the story line now and then we can go from there to fill in the blanks.

Uh DV,  that is a campaign.  A short one, but still it fits the definition.

[Darth_Variable]

See Wake...it's times like this that I'm glad to have you around

This is just a clear example of how uninitiated I am to the whole RPG thing.  Which is why I'd much rather see it run by a more experienced person at first so I can at least get me feet wet.

I don't have the time right now, I also don't have the in depth geek knowledge of the SW universe that I think you guys would require.  When is it going to be printed and available?

[Darth_Variable]

Well it was worth a try...can't blame a guy for trying

When is what going to be printed?  You mean the new RPG book?

Of course the new RPG book.  Weren't we discussing the campaign you are going to run?

[Darth_Variable]

Well the new RPG book is supposed to be released some time next month if it's still on schedule.
