    Step into a galaxy under occupation where heroism is punished and survival is a way of life.

    A decade after Order 66, the Empire has had time to settle in. Not just with armies, but with laws, checkpoints, informants, and fear. Systems are occupied “for their safety.” Industry is nationalized. Dissidents vanish. Whole worlds are taxed into oblivion, and those in power prosper.

    Shipping lanes are plagued by patrols.
    Bureaucrats seize cargo with a signature.
    People can disappear into the system.
    And what power you believed you had over your own life is gone…
    unless you learn how to move quietly.

    This is an 18+ story-first roleplaying game. Write the stories you want—action, intrigue, romance, slice-of-life, and long arcs—built on consent, collaboration, and respect.

  • Conversations and questions about current, upcoming, and advertised games and the hobby as a whole.

    @Third-Eye said in Brainstorming Game Ideas:

    The only thing that will motivate someone to create and put the hard work into starting a game long-term is to build what YOU want, to some degree with no eye toward whether it might be popular or not. That doesn’t mean ignoring advice, though frankly sometimes it does.

    This. Also you’d maybe be surprised how much fun you can have with a handful of really passionate players.

    @Gashlycrumb Also, chances are most of the people you (general not specific) have a problem with have a similar opinion of you so 1) Why would they care? 2) Why would they be surprised? People are allowed to avoid games because of Staff (whether your own issue or in support of someone else) so it seems hypocritical to not allow Staff the same option especially when they’re the one putting in the effort to run the game.

    @tsar I am replying here to get your attention for no reason related to past posts in this thread.

    @xCroaker said in MU Peeves Thread:

    I agree 100%, so staff enjoys playing, and wants to keep games open, and wants to continue playing and running games.

    I agree as well, which brings up another peeve for me.

    When players complain about staff having PCs. Yes, in some cases, it’s warranted, especially in games where a staffer’s personal PCs seem to get the focus in 100% of plot 100% of the time. But in the majority of cases, it’s the staffer in question taking some time to enjoy some RP for themselves, and some player somewhere is offended that the staffer is not actively working on requests or builds or fixing code bugs or running plots or whatever. Sometimes they even claim the staffers are ignoring their duties to the game, which usually isn’t the case.

    Yeah, I can’t say I was psyched ot see it was 5E but it’s not a deal breaker either. It’s weird because we live in a great time for IP-based RPGs(Transformers, GI Joe, Power Rangers, and now Thundercats), but I’m not a huge fan of any of the systems behind them. The exception being Star Trek. I do like the 2D20 system.
