Rapora War (OOC Discussion)

[Stellar_Magic]

Just a general notice Kaja, you'll find we're are very...very...serious in this RPG and your character better not screw up our whole perception of the Rapora because if it does, I'll kill you!!!

 

Also Kaja if you want your character ever to be promoted you're going to have to cut back on his less then serious actions. If you don't his superiors may feel obliged to reprimand him.

 

Tuvax should regroup his forces and start attacking the GFFA compound itself. You'll be facing a hodgepodge of enemy forces. Tuvax will not participate in Kyp's demise.

[kaja]

You're right. I'll edit my post, before any one else posts.

[Mad78]

Time to resurect the RPG.

SM could i bring in a few of those Gorathian ships to kinda of prolong the battle i am in with Kaja?

[Stellar_Magic]

Bad news guys, tomorrow I'm leaving for New Mexico. Remember Mad the battle with Kaja is supposed to be a feint, don't bring in your heavy stuff yet.

[Mad78]

New Mexico!!!

How long till you are going to be back?

[Stellar_Magic]

A week.

[BadSamaritan]

Ok, I posted. Stellar, you gonna ignoe Hirotek again? His last pst was several days ago, but he was about to engage Vagaari forces in his attempts to turn them against the Repora.

[AdmiralToguroAni]

I suppose its too late to get in on this game? It sounds interesting.

[Eko]

Yeah, me too, although it would probably have to wait until after July as i'm away three weeks out of four...

[BadSamaritan]

I thnk it may be far to late to enter this one. Its basically on life support, and fading fast.

[AdmiralToguroAni]

Pity. Maybe I should try running one, with a humorous element. Palpy's a pretty funny guy when you think about it....

[kaja]

Yeah, I agree with Toguro, (And yes I've seen the show with the Toguro brothers in it)

 

Maybe we should make an RPG with a humorous element in it.

[Eko]

I thnk it may be far to late to enter this one. Its basically on life support, and fading fast.

 

Dang, well i'll be sure to get involved in the next one.

[AdmiralToguroAni]

It might be pretty fun. Assuming Palpy was 60 or so in episode one, he'd have to be about 90 by the time ANH takes place, and nearly 100 by the time ROTJ occurs. We know the Dark Side eats away at his body, so why not his mind? We could make a nice Infinities story about a Palpy who is a little senile and a Darth Vader who never really got over his whininess as Anakin. Throw in some whiney Luke, the droids, and some other characters (maybe a middle aged Jar-Jar?) and we've got a good backdrop. Players could assume the roles of a character in the Empire, Alliance, or just be neutral. Of course, just for fun we can say that the SWG changes have also affected this universe, meaning that the Jedi characters can talk about their brave experience grinding on Kreetles and Quenkers 8 hours a day for a year! And the real power behind the throne is Admiral Piett....

[Stellar_Magic]

Its basically on life support, and fading fast.

 

BS, I believe that once we pull our characters clear of the Ord Mantell quagmire the RPG may go through a spawn cycle (A bunch of sideplots instead of one main plot that is constantly being bogged down.)

 

I'll restart the Vaathkree affair once that occurs as well... So, everything not currently involved with the battle for Ord Mantell and the distraction over Adumar will cease for now. Hirotek and Athien will get a spin off...

[Eko]

Ok, i'll sign up but I have a few questions about it all:

 

What are the main rules about characters, in particular Jedi?

 

How limited are we with referenece to the story?

 

Rules for posting?

 

What should I read, all the Rapora Stuff or is there a simple explanation of the story somewhere, I guess the Encyclopedia is a must but the 55 page RPG?

 

Which stories can and can't I join?

 

Basically Stellar...what should I do?

[BadSamaritan]

She is showing life doctor!! Its a miracle!!!

 

But anyways....

 

So we have three stories now? ne about the Vathkree, one involving the Vagaari, and the main story?

 

This is getting big. We better watch ou step, lest we cause the whole thing to implode in on us...

[Stellar_Magic]

Well I was thinking of calling the Main RPG good and cutting it off after Ord Mantell. I'll break it down into several theaters of operations...

 

Breaking the Vagaari (Unknown Regions Campaign): Will the Vagaari be able to break free of their alliance with the Rapora or are the bonds to strong to be broken by the forces of the UDA and GFFA.

 

The Vaathkree Affair (Diplomatic Campaign): The Aklasp are a fearsome foe requiring the GFFA and Empire to find an equally fearsome ally. Will they be able to convince the Vaathkree to join their cause or loose another system to the enemy.

 

The Cycle of the Force (The Force Campaign): Anakin Skywalker, Zonoma Sekot, the Jedi, and the History of the Rapora. Mostly rebuilding Zonoma, covert operations, and running from the Rapora and Sith.

 

Balance of Empire (The Imperial Campaign): An agent of the empire long thought dead is returned and the gears of a plot to undo the empire begin to move as a virus spreads from within.

 

Stand Firm (The Alliance Campaign): Cal Omas draws a line in the sky and vows that the Rapora shall not cross it. Piting the forces of the Alliance against the Rapora along a thousand system front.

 

What do you think?

[AdmiralToguroAni]

sounds fun. Answer Eko's questions about how to join, as I'd like to know too

[Stellar_Magic]

Well there are very little rules, but we've managed to hold it together. It's advisable that you post your idea for a character here so we can comment on it and fit it into the frame which is the RPG. This will also keep you from screwing up the timeline.

 

We've had all sorts of things occur so far, and some of the campaigns are oriented toward one sort of combat more then another. I'd expect that new members start out with a lesser rank then the older members, acting as subordinates until they've gained enough experience to be promoted to an equal position.

 

Many times the RPGers will find themselves caught up in larger events dictated by yours truly. These events force the RPG to follow a basic plot and story, only in the Subplot RPGs are the RPGers given a large amount of freedom in their actions due to the smaller scale of the campaign.

 

I'd advise that new members to avoid becoming Forceusers right off the bat. Remember that at the start of the RPG there were only 50-60 Jedi to cover the entire Galaxy, now that number has already taken some losses. We can't have twenty more Jedi running around with all the "historical" jedi actors.

 

We've got a large number of factions for you to choose from...

 

The Galactic Federation of Free Alliances (GFFA)

The United Defense Alliance (UDA)

The Imperial Remnant

The Mandalorian Tribes

The Raporan Imperium

The Sith

The Vaathkree

The Aklasp

The Vagaari

The Chiss

 

We haven't had the Hapans yet, nore the Hutts, but those factions will probably become involved in time.

 

In terms of reference there is some things you're going to have to know... For that theres the Encyclopedia (Which needs updating). At the very least read the section on the Rapora. You can add new classes of ships and equipment if you want but to do so I ask that you post a short description of the vessel and its capabilities, don't do this too often or we'll have ten thousand different types of ships in one story.

 

I ask that you treat this RPG with seriousness and some dare I say respect. The GFFA is staring at an invasion and I intend to make it darker then anything you've ever seen.

 

You shouldn't join the Introductory RPG thread, its about to finish up. I'd suggest you join the Breaking the Vagaari thread or another campaign once I start it up.

 

You probably won't want to join the Vaathkree Affair due to the "diplomatic" nature of the Campaign. There aren't any big battles in that one.

 

Post your character and we'll see where you fit... and please somebody join the Raporan or Vagaari sides, we've got far to few of them.

[Eko]

OK, thanks very much for that, I'm away for a week and then another two at the end of July so I'll get my character sorted out and posted later, probably the second week in July. The encyclopedia seems to have little on the Vagaari as a species by the way.

 

Ok, so i'll post up a character when i'm back. PIty about the Jedi, they are cool to RP, maybe later. I just asked because (as you do) some Rps have rules about restricting both their use and power...

 

Cheers for your help and i'll get involved in a week, till then, have fun!

[BadSamaritan]

Breaking the main campeign into so many peices might actually be the best idea thus far. It will make things easier to keep track of, not to mention keep people interested.

 

Also, it will giv the RPers here who dont post very often a chance to join in, since we cant have all of them running at full speed at all times. Or can we??

 

As for me, I will have my hands full in three of the capaigns, which is more than enough for me.

[kaja]

I wish to be part of the Breaking the Vagaari, campaign.

 

With the same Character, Rimak Ardar.

[Stellar_Magic]

Okay we'll transferer him to the Breaking the Vagaari Campaign once the distraction over Adumar ceases.

[Trejiuvanat]

An interesting idea Stellar, the spinoffs also good pretty good and they can be very well tied together at the end. I like it...
