If that was 10 minutes without CPR. If those minutes she was under assisted breathing it's a different story.
Given that she was on an airplane, she likely was getting that assistant.

Not saying she's fine, but she's got much better chances than someone who was without aid and stopped breathing for an extended period of time.

The dumb thing was limiting it to just two in the whole fucking galaxy. I can get behind sith always being in two's cause more than that always devolves into a backstabbing clusterfuck. A galaxy filled with sith duos running around doing crazy shit is infinitely more interesting to me.
>>
>>50849356
Blame Bane, he killed all the other Sith then made the Rule of Two.
>>
>>50849356
See - even with multiple sets with Sith, it's almost guaranteed that they'd start fighting each other and some would build alliances against others.

Effectively, your version of the Rule of Two doesn't really make them any better off than they were before Bane, only instead of an entire army they have just a small number scattered around the galaxy.

The Rule of Two as it exists in canon and Legends works because it allows focus without infighting.

>>50849386
Technically with Legends you can trace the blame all the way back to Revan.

And in canon, Bane didn't kill off all the other Sith, he was just the last known survivor.
>>
>>50849408
How do you know he didn't kill some of them?
And what did Revan do besides get amnesia and become a good man again before Darth Traya's jedi purge?
>>
>>50849324
>>50848939
WAS THAT SOMETHING NEW? NO, NO IT WASN'T, SO SHUT UP UNLESS YOU HAVE SOME NEWS SOURCED TO CARRIE HERSELF OR HER FAMILY.
>>
>>50849446
Revan was the one who came up with the original idea of limiting the Sith numbers, Bane is the one who implemented it.

There's nothing saying that Bane didn't kill other Sith in canon, but we know that he was the last known survivor as the Jedi hunted down and killed many of the other Sith during the war.
>>
>>50849408
I'm honestly fine with that kind of situation. It's all about what's interesting, and pairs of sith running around, scheming and dealing, forging temporary(what other kind would they ever make) alliances and setting up the inevitable betrayal while preparing for the same is more awesome to me. I want a small number scattered around the galaxy wreaking havoc while trying to make the galaxy conform to their vision, and theirs alone.
>>
>>50849483
So Revan was about equal in intelligence to Bane about how the Sith were supposed to be, except he didn't implement it.
>>
>>50849268

>>50849646
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA FUNNY! haha, no seriously made me chuckle.
>>
>>50849561
As long as each apprentice is the one to take out their master, it ensures that each successive master is stronger than the last. Apprentices that fail to do it are eventually replaced by one that can.
Of course, if an outside agency takes them out, the entire system falls apart, since there's no guarantee that the apprentice suddenly thrust into the master position is actually stronger than the guy who just got killed. But even then, the apprentice managed to survive whatever killed the master, which counts for something as long as the death wasn't boring shit like mundane diseases or old age.
>>
>>50849692
It was rarely if ever outside forces because they kept themselves hidden from the galaxy at large.

>>50849615
I like it but its narrativist leaning and unique dice scare some people away

if those 2 things don't deter you, get your hands on a beginner box and get some friends
>>
>>50849844
Yeah those dice are funky looking, do they take some time to get used to? Do they work well or would regular dice just be better?
>>
>>50849855
The dice do take some time to get used to, but it's really just adding up symbols. The same symbols appear on different dice in different amounts, some good, some bad, some adding extra (good or bad) bits onto the result.
There's a conversion chart for using regular dice, but it's a pain in the ass to use it, imo.
>>
>>50849956
Do the dice cost a lot?
>>
>>50850002
they can be.

the best way to get them imo is through the beginner boxes, since each one comes with a set.

there are apps for it though
>>
>>50849523
>except he didn't implement it.
Because he knew better
>>
>>50850130
Knew better than who? Bane's strategy lasted for over 1000 years, it only failed because one of his descendants was a power hungry, genre savvy, fuckhead who purged almost all the jedi except for the Chosen One and some Masters in exile.
>>
>>50850173
>Knew better than who? Bane's strategy lasted for over 1000 years,
Imagine the two only Sith in the galaxy are in a spaceship. Shapechip goes boom.
No more Sith.
Ever.

Kind of an all eggs in the same basket kind of thing.
Especially risky with eggs that want to kill each other.
>>
>>50850225
Yeah but the other strategies weren't working very well either, and Bane's was certainly the most effective continuously for the longest stretch of time, outside of the original Sith Empire on Korriban before they acquired space travel.
>>
>>50850270
Dunno. It seems to me a tribal approach or a cabal thing would have worked too. A small group of individuals work together to amass power and teach each other in order to dominate another group of people.
That way your entire philosophy doesn't die out if you and your apprentice get caught in a natural disaster.
>>
>>50850307
>working together

Again, not really something the Sith do well in the long term. Even before the Brotherhood, the Sith were a bunch of backstabbing dicks whose only real value was their rad outfits.
>>
>>50850307
Issue is that can create factionism and infighting. With the Rule of Two, if there's infighting, one comes out on top, and is the new Sith Lord. Pretty cut and dry.

It's an unhealthy dynamic, but it's one created to address an incredibly unhealthy ideology and way of life.
>>
>>50850307
True, but that scenario never happened, and while there are many ways it could have failed it only failed because the last Sith was stupid enough to keep the Jedi's Chosen One alive and take him as an apprentice.
>>
>>50849474
Not wanting to be a huge dickhole but if someone truly has cardiopulmonary arrest that is tough on your body. CPR is the best we have but it is nowhere near as effective as your heart and long term arrests can have severe effects on brain function.

Guy joining my EotE system wants to play a force sensitive using FaD classes, which I'm fine with.

But should I just use Morality for him? Or just Obligation? Or both? Not sure how to proceed here.

>play a force sensitive using FaD classes

You shouldn't.

But if it doesn't bother you, then you can use Morality just for him. Keep track of his Emotional Strength and Weakness, and mark a spot on the Obligation chart for him, so you can roll a situation for either of his emotional issues to come up. Either that, or just provide situations and and provide morality gains (or losses) based on how he acts in those situations.

But again, you shouldn't. Playing Force Sensitives is what the Exile and Emergent are for. Playing Jedi, or the closest thing to it, is what the F&D classes are for - which often lead to players wanting lightsabers.
>>
>>50850544
>You shouldn't
Why? Force Sensitive Exile seems like a really disappointing XP sink, the F&D classes at least look appealing. I admit I haven't looked into it heavily though, I've always had mundane parties.

>>50850558
>Why?

Some of the F&D Spec's are designed to fit what F&D is - that you are NOT jedi, but are instead whatever survived past Order 66 - maybe younglings who escaped the temple but have so far grown up with an understanding of the Force, but no Jedi teachings.

But at the same time, thats also what the Exile and Emergent are.

Again its up to you, but if you want your campaign to focus on what Edge of the Empire is about, you should stay away from Force or Jedi plots (and anything that goes with them) at all costs.

>>50850564
Wanting something doesn't mean you should have it. If a campaign is about smuggling, bounty hunting, and other space outer rim scum things, a Lightsaber is the quickest way to kill that campaign.
>>
>>50850544
If one of my players wanted a lightsaber I'd let them pursue that, as long as they're willing to recognise that it's a difficult process, and could get some really nasty heat on them if word gets around.

Everyone, from each player to the GM, should all be aware that a campaign could go to shit from force shenanigans drawing the empire - because its massively selfish for one player to want a shiny stick and causing a party to get killed by drawing inquisitors like flies, especially if the rest of the party isn't down for that kind of action, and would rather do scum things instead. Therefore, the GM, and the rest of the players, should all agree on that kind of thing.

>>50850614
>This is not.

Its just my opinion. I speak from experience, as both a player and a GM - I've seen it happen multiple times.

All it takes is a party of non-combat characters, with maybe one guy whose a hired gun, trying to do outer rim things, and one selfish player who wants something that could get everyone into trouble, and no self-control to stop himself from doing stupid shit in front of the wrong people - multiple times - when he should be discreet.

Not all of us have the luxury of who we have in our groups - and not all of us have the luxury of treating shit players like shit, considering these people may have been friends for a long time, and might be perfectly fine in every other situation.

As for "good dm'ing 101" - the goal is to create soft barriers so you aren't shutting a player down completly. There are ways to do this - my suggestion was to limit a player from taking obviously jedi stuff and keep the campaign focused on EotE - my second suggestion was to make sure everyone is ok with the fact that a campaign might go pear shaped when the plot goes into obvious force use.

In my campaigns, my group works together to make characters that compliment each other, without deciding "im going to do x" and potentially ruining the fun of someone else. We consider this good manners, and it makes the game better for everyone involved,

It should not be up to the GM to salvage shit from a terribly made party of characters, made by players who dont give a shit about anyone but themselves

I rather like that the SW universe doesn't change technology on a dime. Most of human history has been slow, methodical adoption of technology, and SW overall shows that reasonably well I think.

I like that the SW universe is old as hell, and they've been repeating this same Empire/Republic song and dance for thousands of years now. It's poetry.

>>50847303
It will be great filler. Base ship with TRCs should be enough, I think. Gives the Imps a good small ship that isn't crap like the raider or non-Demolisher glads.

>>50849663
Take Yavaris. I ended up getting fifth at a regionals with it and Rieekan aces. It was so scary that my opponents ignored my MC30 with H9s, to their extreme detriment.

In a super-competitive meta I'd feel no compulsion against net-listing.

I mostly do that with Armada since I don't get nearly enough practice in with it to become a prodigy, like I am with X-wing.

>>50850173
Seriously. Anakin was the culmination of the Sith; corrupting the chosen one towards its own ends. He was perfect for it, just not perfect for one Chancellor Palpatine.

He didn't have the good graces to die and hand over his empire to his apprentice, so he ended up dooming the whole affair.

Of course Anakin couldn't understand when he was being outwitted on Mustafar, so who knows.

>I hope this was sarcasm he was in fact created by the Force.

Its not sarcasm. Rogue One has given me a theory on what the force is, and if you look at it from this perspective, the force is both an energy field that jedi can tap into and use, as well as manipulable destiny on a galatic scale.

Its a religion that only the Jedi are a very small minority of, and are more like D&D clerics in that sense - while everyone else believes that the force is a part of their lives, and when it is with them, will cause fate to change for the better for them.

But this theory only really works if you look at star wars from the core of canon media.

As well, if you believe that the force can make things happen, that the dark side can do this as well.

Ergo, Anakin was made by the Force, but the Dark Side - because his rise gave rise to the Dark Side, and set into motion a grander swirl in the war between the Light and the Dark.

But again, this is just my theory. Feel free to say I;m full of shit

Fighter squadrons are an intrinsic part of Armada. Most good lists at this point use them at least somewhat.

I rather like the squadron combat in Armada because it is exceptionally brutal.

I enjoy it immensely myself, but it really isn't for everyone. I'd recommend you find someone who has it and play a few games before purchasing.

I mean, Anakin being the being of prophecy doesn't also stop him from being the culmination of the rule of two. At full power he absolutely had the raw power of seizing the galaxy. It's just the Force had other ideas in mind.

Kreia was right?
>>
>>50850981
The Rule of Two wasn't a prophecy. it was a rule that there can only be two Sith at a time nothing more nothing less and Kreia was the ever spiteful Chris Avellone's mouthpiece and was completely wrong about the force according to LucasArts Studios, it made her a fine antagonist but a shitty character in general.

Jedha changes that, considering it swarmed with force religions who successfully lobbied the empire to not destroy one of the last jedi temples

---

Anyway, to explain my theory a bit more
One of the big aspects of star wars that, heretofore, has made little to no sense, is that "May the Force be With You" is a saying amongst non-jedi, yet the Jedi are the only ones who can use the Force. That "The Force is Strong" without a real understanding of what this means, besides a general thought that it means your "better at space magic" - that there are force religions of people who are not force sensitive and worship the force, despite the fact that all we've ever learned about is what are a very small group of people (the jedi and the sith).

I think even the idea of Force Sensitivity is completely wrong, and using FFG as an example, it is, considering a person can buy into a force spec for a force rating, at any time in the campaign (previous to star wars d20 which required the feat at chargen).

But as I said, it only really holds up when applied to the Movies, specifically ANH, TFA, and Rogue One, with ESB a bit.

I'm literally a player who's running a FaD Jedi class in an EotE campaign.

I went through a ton of trouble to put together a lightsaber and I only used it two times in the last ten sessions, and that was against beasties in wilderness areas because no word would get around.

Going full Obi-wan in every urban/cantina battle would probably get us hunted down by some awful Imperial shit judging by what the GM's hinted.
>>
>>50851037
The Phantom Menace alone calls Anakin the Chosen One, you know, the high Midi-chlorian count thing, it's reinforced in Clone Wars and Revenge, and brought to it's completeion in Return Of The Jedi, which i think refers not to luke but to Anakin's return to the light, and from the legends books on Palpatine's master Darth Plagueis which are at least partially canon now that they were referenced in disney material he was trying to do that with the Dark side and failed then his apprentice killed him, the force itself made Anakin there is no doubt on this he turned to the Dark, yes, but in the end he came back to the Light, where he belonged, and there are numerous things throughout legends and in the OT that hint he never fully fell any way.

>One of the big aspects of star wars that, heretofore, has made little to no sense...

To finish was I was saying because I forgot to write my conclusion...
Is that, for normal people, the Force is fate. Saying "May the Force be with you" is saying "may fate be with you, may fate be on your side". When you say "the force is strong" it could be taken to mean " the force is taking an active hand in my destiny"

>>50851058

Thats still something like 16 to 20 years of the Empire allowing force hippies to do whatever they wanted. And even then, they didn't even cop to the fact that they were the ones who destroyed Jedha

But really, the most interesting part of that, is that force religions DO exist, and they effect a greater number of the galactic population then the Jedi do, when everything we've seen up to this point says that the force is meaningless if your NOT a Jedi, without a proper explanation for singular cases like the rebellion saying "may the force be with us"

>>50851092
There is a quote in TFA, that talks about "the war between the light and the dark" - and in my theory, if the force manipulates fate (either for people or because of people) then the dark side does this as well - And it can be explained that Anakin's fall was engineered by the Dark Side either from his birth or after - its all part of a cosmic push and pull between two forces, and the saga of Anakin and Luke are thrust and counter-thrust between the Light and the Dark

If you're asking the question then I'd say go for it. You can always sell it on e-bay if you hate it.

Keep in mind though that the core battles are paltry compared to a full 400-point slugfest. Also the X-wings the rebel player gets are crucial to taking down the Victory in 200-point games. You will know whether you like Armada's take on squadrons out of the gate.
>>
>>50851118
Maybe it is it was never fully explained anyway.
>>50851116
Yeah the constant war between the Force and it's cancer the Dark Side, which is the content creators original interpretation, I prefer to one that The Clone Wars TV series put forth that the Dark and the Light both have to exist for the Force and by extension the universe to be in balance, the origins of the Jedi and Dark jedai were as Balance Keepers known as Jeedai on a planet extremely sensitive to force imbalances, too much of either and massive force storms happened, so everyone worked to be as balanced as they could, eventually Light and Dark split the order, conflict arose and in the end Light won they became the Jedi, with the exiled loser being known as Dark Jedi until one day a group of Dark Jedi Landed on Korriban, and were introduced to the natives known as the Sith.
>>
>>50851119
Oh I wasn't talking about squadrons and whether or not I liked them, I was talking about how I was interested in Aramada but NOT interested in X-Wing at all. What's the ship to ship combat like in armada? Similar to BFG or the old star wars miniatures game?

>You were the chosen one! It was said that you would destroy the Sith, not join them, bring balance to the force, not leave it in darkness.

For the past several thousand years the Jedi have ruled supreme in a relatively peaceful era within the Republic. If Anakin was supposed to bring balance to the force, doesn't it make sense that he would join the dark side? You know, to BALANCE the force?
>>

Yeah and then destroy the Sith, the Prophecy may have been misinterpreted, as we saw in all 6 original films, I think it was a prophecy form when the Jedai were Jeedai on the planet of the orders origin.

I honestly like that a lot.
In my new headcanon\theory, it makes a bit more sense as to why the Light and Dark side are at war, because the "balance keepers" fucked up.

Also, my interpretation of the dark side has always been different. Specifically, that the Dark Side is a natural part of the force, because if the force is created by all living things, then evil is something that exists naturally - whether its predators eating each other, or sentients murdering each other - the dark side is born from that side of things.
>>
>>50851079

I really feel like a Lightsaber wielder would have to be extraordinarily reckless to really bring the Empire's wrath in their heads. How many of the wanted criminals who frequent average Outer Rim Cantinas are really going to go to the authorities and risk imprisonment because they saw Obi-wan pull his sword in a bar fight? I mean, shit, when Obi-wan pulled his sword in the Cantina Darth Vader's personal Stormtrooper legion were in the city and nobody informed them. Vader didn't even hear about the incident of the ship that shot its way out of the spaceport vs those very same stormtroopers until it showed up on the Death Star's door!

If Obiwan can pull his sword in a city full of Vader's own stormtroopers and word not get back to Vader about it, I really feel like your level of Lightsaber discretion doesn't have to be all that high, at least out in the sticks of the Outer Rim.

>I prefer to one that The Clone Wars TV series put forth that the Dark and the Light both have to exist for the Force and by extension the universe to be in balance
The way I understood it - cause by the end of the story arc it was apparent that the father was wrong all along - was that there really is no light or dark side.
It's all just the Force.
The dogmatism of the Sith and the Jedi at that time was ill conceived.
Which is why in Episode III we got this whole stick about how the Jedi have become corrupt and lost their way yadda yadda.

Imagine your ability to use the force was a muscle. Stringent adherence to the old Jedi code is governed by a an arbitrary set of rules that dictate what belongs into your diet and when to work out. This is not necessarily harmful, but strictly speaking not even necessary. Then you got the Dark Side which is like shooting up with steroids. You'll see faster results, but it'll fuck you up in the long terms.
Best not to follow any strict dogma, but exist in harmony with the Force, i.e. do what feels natural (for your muscle).

Maybe that's a terrible explanation, but it's the best I can think of atm.

I really don't agree that The Clone War's message about the Force in that episode was that Light and Dark have to exist and be in balance in the universe. I thought the message of the Mortis trilogy was pretty clearly that Darkness is something that has to be chosen, and it is the duty of those who are strong enough not to choose it to contain it. The Father and Daughter both have dialogue that make it clear that the Son may have been naturally inclined to evil, but he still had to CHOOSE to indulge in the Dark Side of the force and use it to feed those negative emotions. Also that there was still much good in him despite his lust for power. To me all of that says the moral is the same that George always said about the Force: Evil the an aberration, even if it is an inevitable one, and balance means Evil being checked, not evil being equal to good.
>>
>>50851213

I think the father as literally the Personification of Balance in the Force was right and reminding you the show came after Revenge not before so yeah your interpretation is kind of what the father said all along, that anakin was his next form and if he refuses his destiny well anakin would have to fall to the dark and then balance it all out in the end
Here's something fun from the Legends continuity.

There is no ignorance, there is knowledge.
There is no fear; there is power.

Wasn't the point of Anakin making this accusation to show how completely insane he'd driven himself? He choked his pregnant wife to apparent death moments before he said it, the woman he'd murdered a bunch of children to save not hours earlier. And suddenly "From my point of view the Jedi are evil?" Based on what Anakin?

The idea that the Jedi were corrupt and had lost their way was a crock of shit, typical dark side dissembling and self-deception. At absolute worst they were misguided in allowing themselves to compromise themselves by taking up the burden of leading the army in the prosecution of the Clone Wars. But them being in that situation was part of the Sith's trap to begin with, so its hardly to be laid at the feet of their order being corrupt.

Based on what Anakin?

Nah that's not what I mean.
I mean the discussion between Yoda and Mace Windu how the order had become complacent and the Jedi had lost their way.

The whole thing with Anakin saying the Jedi are evil kinda makes sense if you take into account that he killed Dooku beforehand in a similar way. He knew it was wrong then and did it anyway. Then he saw Windu intent on doing it too and prevented him from doing so.
On top of that Windu was a guy who openly stated he didn't trust Anakin, a fellow member of the Order which essentially was his family at that, trying to kill the only other friend Anakin had.
If you take into account the dogmatic view on feelings, how repressed the Jedi were in general as opposed to compassionate, which is something he in particular struggled with due to being a slave and losing his mother and all that jazz it kind of makes sense that the slights, mistrust and resentment
he felt in the Jedi Order ended in that conviction. He felt betrayed.

Of course on screen that came off as stilted and incredibly awkward piece of dialogue. The films in general could have used some fine tuning for dialogue and relationship stuff imo.

>>50851309

I just don't agree with that interpretation. I mean, look at what actually happened to the Je'daii. The reason their was a schism between those who favored light and those who favored dark is because they were attacked by an all-dark Force civilization, and the Light users saw how dangerous Dark can be if it gets out of control while the Dark users saw how powerful they could become if they moved away from the light. When they saw the atrocities the Dark was capable of unleashing, one side reacted with horror and the other side reacted with greed. If that's not a banner reading "choosing the dark is bad," I don't know what is.

Even in Mortis, Father and Daughter were working TOGETHER to contain Son. Daughter wasn't trying to leave and spread Light across the Galaxy. She was devoted to making sure her brother didn't spread Darkness. Father said he was keeping his children in balance, but clearly that balance was being tipped by Son's use of the Dark Side. Look at Father's dialogue:

>You have done what is forbidden. You have chosen the dark side and allowed it to feed your anger and desire for power.

>Do not do this, son. Do not become what you should not. Be strong, I implore you, or else I will be forced to contain you.

Now, to be clear, its pretty obvious that the official JEDI ORDER DOCTRINE of keep yourself completely pure of anything that might lead to ANY Dark Side is wrongheaded and goes too far. That's removing choice entirely, which doesn't help anything. But I'd still say the message "Dark side bad, Light side containing it is what balance means," is pretty clear.

I don't think that holds up. Anakin's dialogue in that scene is not indicative of him having learned a lesson from Dooku's death. He makes a couple of half-baked arguments that its clear from his tone he doesn't even believe himself for sparing Sidious, and then he gives his real reason: I need him. Also, its worth noting that Windu DID try to arrest Palpatine before he unleashed Force Lightning and started spewing bullshit about Jedi coups and how weak and defenseless he was that you would have to be an idiot to believe given what was happening right in front of your eyes and everything that had happened before.

Windu did say that he didn't trust Anakin, but Windu also took Anakin at his word that Palpatine was a Sith, and basically implied "If this pans out you will have saved the Jedi order, and I'll be in your corner going forward. I'm asking you to stay out of it for YOUR good, not mine." Also Anakin's requests to join the party to arrest Palpy were clearly just because he wanted to make sure he survived the arrest for his personal reasons, and he wasn't thinking about any greater good. Which is the clouded judgement Windu sensed and exactly why he wanted Anakin on the sidelines. It wasn't warm and fuzzy, but Windu WAS looking out for Skywalker. A lot more than his "friend," Sheev who had been lying and manipulating him for a decade. If Anakin couldn't see that it had to be because he CHOSE not to see it.
>>
>>50851335
Yeah you got that right.
>>50851420
Yeah maybe Yoda and Mace were right, but again it was part of a sith trap true it's not hard to see why Anakin felt that way but he was delusional at the time and later regretted it all.
>>50851441
And that's basically what the Je'daii did, contained the Dark with the light, and they didn't stray too far into the light they kept to the center which is what the Father did he wanted his Son to succeed him, but he fell to the light while his daughter became a paragon of light and virtue and not balanced like him, Anakin was supposed to be his destined successor supplied directly by the force but Anakin had free will and chose differently. Yeah the Je'daii ended thanks to the Rakatan Infinite Empire, but that was just bad luck, and the Rakatan were the origin of Lightsabers being associated with jedi as well. Yeah thats the message of the Je'daii as well Balance not too much Light or Dark, have both but keep them in check, Father may well have been one at some point.

It's how it works in RAW though.

I like this dude's system, although it's still not immune to lazy GMing. Basically, makes emotional stress cause you to take on conflict, and doing good things takes away conflict. More focus on emotional duress leading people to the darkside than doing evil shit.

Yeah. I mean this doesn't happen in a vacuum. Sidious whispered in Anakin's ear all the time, TCW also has a few epsiodes where Palpatine tries to force a choice between him and the Jedi Order's rules.

This is true too, but the films also mention that Anakin feels slighted by the Council and like they were holding him back. Here you got this guy who openly says 'I don't trust you, but you have to trust me', do you really think he'd just go for that?

As I said the films handle that not quite as elegantly as another film maker might have, but the constellation of characters and their relationships makes a lot of sense on paper.

About Carrie Fisher
>>
Me and my friends have a debate going. Since FFG doesn't have grappling rules, do you think Grappling is better represented under Brawl or by athletics? I say the later because Brawl is a combat skill and since grappling won't do any damage due to lack of any rules for it, it should be expressed by non-combat skills.

Obviously this isn't taking into account something like the Pin talent, this is just speaking in general terms of your character wants to take someone down without having to shoot/stun them. It may also be relevant to make a distinction between combat grappling and non-combat RP grappling. I've also been wondering if it might make sense to use the Coordination skill in concert with athletics OR brawl to maintain grappling once its started.

Thoughts?

It's Brawl. If I remember correctly, they talked briefly about grappling under the Brawl section in the skill chapter.

Briefly as in "fuck making rules for this thing just roll and do whatever makes sense"

So I really liked Rogue One. I think I especially liked the Space battle, it was fucking fantastic THEY CUT A STAR DESTROYER IN HALF OH MY GOD

But the ground combat definitely seemed frantic and chaotic, and that vague sense of just general hopelessness pervading everything right up until Princess Leia was well done.

>>50852162

Well, I checked F&D at least and it makes no direct mention of grappling in the Brawl description.

I'm still not convinced, especially since I also checked the Pin talent again and it's specifically an opposed Athletics check. I still say it makes more sense to use non-combat skills for it because it does no damage, at least in situations where you'r playing out a scene and not in official-roll-initiative combat.

We've been talking about Rogue One sense it came out. We're still going to talk about it.

Generally, I roll Brawl in with various martial arts, wrestling, throws and trips as something like a grapple is a combat activity. People don't generally want to get grabbed!
Plus, it lets people apply any talents, gear, armour and so forth into their defence and the attacker can do likewise with theirs if they have them + any situation modifiers like jumping out of the shadows, falling on people or you're trying to wrestle a Rancor
Where I do wander into houseruling though is if the attacker wishes to pin someone down with Brawl, they can chose to do strain damage or just hold them ie: choke them out, lock an ankle, pop a shoulder and all those fun things.

With regards to the 'Pin' talent that exists in Enter the Unknown, I let it work as per rules, but it deals no damage, they're just stuck there for however long the opposed check goes on, plus its a 25xp talent so it should be fairly good.

Sorry, man, I'm just tired of people in this thread jumping down my throat because they want to discuss a tragedy that happened to an actress. One we all love dearly, who portrayed a character we all love just as much if not more than her actress. She doesn't live in the Star Wars universe however, so it isn't relevant and only serves to depress those who already know. If you don't know looking through the beginning few posts of the thread will let you know. Sorry for being so hostile though, didn't mean to be.

As for your question I did enjoy it, it seems Disney is putting competent people behind the camera, and hiring directors with vision if not editors.

>>50852487
I think that's one of the things that made the scenes in R1 superior to TFA. The team clearly had a whole back story laid out for each world and it really showed through.

No need to be sorry anon, you weren't really malicious and your right in that mindless repeating is annoying af.

There a modules for Armada on both tabletop simulator and vassal, and getting either of those running is cheaper than buying in.

I think part of the reason Armada grows so much slower than X-wing is the starting cost - here in canuckistan a core set will run you more than $100 easily. Most of the people in my area have only gotten that far in, and a bunch of them want to play the CC campaign that just came out, even though each player is supposed to bring a 400 point fleet and most of them can barely manage half that.

Now you're showing you don't know shit.

That's Pablo Hidalgo. One of the four members of the LucasFilm Story Group and basically the public face for it. He is also responsible for creating a large portion of content and media for Star Wars in the past.
>>
>>50853073
I've looked at the lore itself, not who used to, or maybe still does, oversee it, you don't necessarily need to know who wrote any of the books, although if you didn't i'd be genuinely surprised. Explain to me why someone who doesn't use twitter, rarely uses facebook, and occasionally lurks on 4chan and just generally prefers face to face human interaction to following an editor on twitter, know who he is offhand? I asked a simple question and the evident answer is that he was relevant at one point, and may or may not be anymore and why he is/was relevant. You didn't need to be rude, and project an attitude of superiority. We're all nerds here, and not all of us care about the name of every content creator and editor, ever employed by LucasArts/Film/StoryGroup. I'm sure he's legendary in his own right but I doubt more than 5% of the fanbase knows or cares who he is. So exactly what the FUCK is your problem?
>>
>>50853180
Half of /swg/ doesn't use twitter or facebook either. But you come in here and show your ignorance of basic facts about /swg/ and bitching about being off-topic when half of its history has been Top Gear and JoJo memes, with Ace Combat and Metal Gear sprinkled in liberally.

/swg/ is not 95% of the Star Wars fanbase.

Your posting style is pretty much the same as the guy who came in last night bitching about stuf outside of the games not being on topic, when /swg/ is only on topic about half the time to begin with.

/swg/ has intimate familiarity with Pablo, and even made jokes about his twin Paul (who doesn't exist) because one anon accidentally called Pablo Paul.

And all it would have taken for you to figure out who Pablo was would have been to look at the filename, and five seconds of google.

Depends on if she's in a proper coma or what.

If she is, and she doesn't recover in the next say 30ish hours, her chance of recovery drops drastically, continuing to go down until you're under a 15% chance of even partial recovery after four months.

If she was shockable, and her heart's pumping now of it's own accord (we dunno shit), her chances are high(er).

Gotcha. It's kind of its own thing, really. Like a lot of FFG creations. Combat is quick and very brutal, with many of the large ships being capable of one-shotting the small ones with even modest rolls. But ISDs and Mon Cals are themselves far from impervious, and can also be taken down surprisingly quickly.

The game is big into maneuvering your ships into ideal firing positions, while denying them to your opponent.

Also each game is different because you will always be playing one of 24 (with Corellian Campaign) objectives which can drastically change the field of battle.

Let's post more Star Destroyers!

The Victory-I class Star Destroyers were slow, but heavily armed, with eighty concussion missile tubes. That's as many as four time twenty, and that's a metric fuck ton of firepower. I suspect they were originally designed to fill the cruiser gap for the Republic-soon-to-be-Empire, to step into the shoes empty between the Venator and Acclamator classes.

Intended to be replaced by the Imperial-classes, following the eruption of the Galactic Civil War into a full-scale armed conflict, the Victory-classes were retained in service to fill the gaps left in the Imperial Fleet by Imperial-Is and -IIs on the sharp end of the stabby-implement.
>>
>>50855684

I kinda like victory star destroyers. I liked using them with Venators in Empire At War as back up to my destroyers. Useful to plug gaps so I didnt have to have my Allegiance-class waste shots on smaller rebel ships like corvettes

Start with Sheev's death.

Rumors hit the 6th Expeditionary Line, 102nd Fleet, about 72 hours later. Your Admiral holoconferences with his captains, instructing them to gently break the news to their men - but remind them all that they're still proud members of the Imperial Navy and that they will continue their service with excellence.

Then kick the ass of any rebel scum that dares celebrate on the planets you visit.

Have one or two pleasant twists, like a large number planets staying strongly loyal and lots of folk buying the narrative of a cowardly assassination instead of a military defeat.

At the same time it's important that people feel the shift of insurrection to full-out civil war. A good moment to encapsulate this would be the first time they go up against an Alliance Star Destroyer, no ones keeps calling them the Rebels after that point.
>>
>>50855157
You need to start before endor to make the shift come across. Before the war is going the empires way, the real issue is finding the rebels, and then getting them to stand and fight. Whenever they do, shit goes right. The only real enemy is internal bickering and boredom.
Then endor. Suddenly your supplies dry up. You gotta make deals with the devil to keep on going. Orders to recall your ships coreward, giving a clear path to the rebel. Accept, abandoning imperial citizens, or go independent. Or try to make yourself useful and find a way to stick around. Or aim straight for Coruscant and try to take the throne.

Take a look over the wikipedia on the Imperial Civil war for inspiration.
Then, turn to history.
I would suggest reading The Fall of the West, The Slow death of a Roman Superpower by adrian goldsworthy. Or just read on the wiki. Take inspiration from the fall of the western empire, focus on the infighting, then add the 20 years of anarchy from the byzantine empire. Toss in a good measure of french revolution and the afghan civil war.

And most importantly, don't forget to give DARK GREETINGS

Agreeing with this.
They just took a star destroyer, scaled it down and added some batter.
On one hand it's pretty nice that they make some more uniformal ships for the empire, but then on the other it's just a star destroyer with some tumor on the bridge and some miniature wings on the sides.

Also, empire at war best.

This is going to seem like a silly question, but how exactly do you join the rebellion? It seems quite risky finding a way to them unless you happen to be from a rebel world like the calamari

>>50856824
You start fighting. If you make enough noise without getting yourself killed and without going too far in terms of things like civilian deaths or other moral issues that the main rebel alliance has, they'll find a way to get in touch with you and make an offer.

>>50856824

>>
>>50856824
You put out feelers and hope you aren't talking to an ISB agent.
>>
>>50856824
Start up by vandalizing some posters and escalate it into acts of terror, try to avoid civilian deaths and try to survive long enough for your local rebel cell to notice you and pick you up before you get yourself killed.
Alternatively figure out a way to communicate with them and be some sorta trained expert and offer to defect into their ranks.
>>
>>50856849
>>50856854
>>50856856
These are relevant to each other.
Either you do stuff that makes them want to find you, or you go looking for them, but either way it's a crapshoot whether the "recruiter" you end up with is actually a rebel or an ISB agent.

A significant amount of rebels joined up with the Alliance by being part of a separate rebelling group that joined up as a whole.

The rebellion often does jobs of mercy around the galaxy that the Empire won't.

> It seems quite risky finding a way to them
Well yes, it is quite risky. This is a despotic, authoritarian empire we're talking about.

> unless you happen to be from a rebel world like the calamari
That is one of the main ways. Either by starting there or traveling there. A lot of rebel recruiting centers on worlds that the Empire has only nominal control over. The outer rim is full of places where people who don't like the Empire can go in order to get in touch with rebel groups on the down low. If you're on a core world, you might try to hop on a freighter heading out to the rim in order to find people who share your hatred of the Empire without having to worry as much about Imperial agents breathing down your neck.

>This is a despotic, authoritarian empire we're talking about.
Not just that, the rebels themselves can be pretty paranoid, and won't have mercy for anyone they think is an ISB.

You guys think having a totally not my self insert's waifu Emperor's Hand take over running of civilian governance for a sector after killing a Moff planning on going independent would be too much?
>>
>>50857006
The infighting will be strong with this one.

The Imperial Hierarchy may not recognize the authority of the Emperor's Hand, and many officers may want to take them down for their own Glory.

Post RotJ/Jakku Empire must have been like Game of Thrones before the New Republic finally got control.
>>
>>50857006
Most Emperor's Hands would have a non covert identity. An admiral, a general, a high ranking Intelligence agent, you name it. Within those roles, in addition to the access to clearance a Hand has, it is certainly possible.

>>50857137
I don't really care about what a coalition of autists decides is canon or isn't. I'll always have my headcanon that includes what I think is the best of Star Wars. The problem is their approach to things and how they go REEEEEEEEEEEE every time someone mentions Legends materials on retweets.

Well there's your problem Twitter is basically cancer anon I wouldn't go there held at gunpoint
>>
>>50857208
>headcanon
Sounds more like you're the autist here anon.

Face it, Legends is dead for the better. New Canon is re-incorporating what worked and what didn't.
>>
>>50857262
Yeah but that's another problem. Instead of, you know, actually saying what's canon and what isn't through publishing stories, our brave band of spergs say what is and what isn't over twitter announcements.

>>50857277
I don't care about Legends, but a Galactic Empire falling within the span of a single year. Yep, sure, that makes perfect sense, nu-canon.
>>
>>50857277
>no headcanon
>on /swg/ a site for talking about your imagination games

Wow not even really a legendsfag but you definitely came to the wrong neighborhood motherfucker
>>
>>50857295
>Galactic Empire falling within the span of a single year
It doesn't. Imperials retreat to the core and takes longer to fall, but it does.

Doesn't help that the Empire has been in bad form for nearly a generation.

>>50857311
Legendfags are literally the worst anon (not really Mandos are the worst). I admit I was a bit harsh, but for the most part they cling to something long since past and refuse to accept new material
>>
>>50857331
It literally does. Next you'll say 'KOTOR and SWTOR are Canon xD!' If we're going to ignore headcanon, then let's look at what's established. The Empire officially, 100% falls at the Battle of Jakku which happens 1 year and a few months after the Battle of Endor. Remnants flee to form the First Order, but the Empire is well and fully gone and the First Order doesn't claim to be the Empire, just takes after its ideology.
>>
>>50857331
Because legends is still perfectly good and there is no law prohibiting you from using it.
>>
>>50857331
>for the most part they cling to something long since past and refuse to accept new material

A lot like the Jedi, actually.
>>
>>50857357
This. The Empire fell pretty quickly.

That being said, given the amount of declien and support against them, I can see why they ended up losing the war
>>
>>50857331
Not the same anon, but, Battle of jakku takes place one year after endor. The empire is still in posession of most of the galaxy (Core to inner rim?), and yet they are somehow riven by war fatigue and surrender Coruscant for no fucking reason. The writing is just so mind blowingly stupid it's not even funny.
>>
>>50857429
>surrender Coruscant
I'm sure the public supported liberation and they were facing economic issues that would not allow them to support it.
>>
>>50857423
Just makes me wonder.
If empire was just so bad that it had no public support anywhere, then where did it get all its soldiers, pilots and operatives?
How come the empire didn't just dissolve with mass desertions and executions of officers?
How come no powerful admiral or moff just took control of an area and fortified it to the eleventh decree?

This is what we get for not having political scientists, military scientists nor historians writing the script, isn't it?
>>
>>50857452

No. No writing or contrived combination of circumstances can ever possibly justify the Empire completely collapsing in only one year.
>>
That door gunner scene was great, the U wing is a fun little ship.
>>
>>50857423
>>50857452
Doesn't matter how many ass-pulls you say. It's the equivalent of saying a Hitler assassination attempt succeeds in like 1941 when the Nazis were literally unbeatable and Goering just goes 'okay allies, we surrender' even though the Allies are nowhere near Berlin or even Europe for that matter outside of the British Isles.
>>
>>50857526
How good was it on a scale of Paint it black to IT AIN'T ME?
>>
>>50857494
It was collapsing from the first year anon.

The Emperor didn't care about it and let it decline because he was lolevil.

>>50857492
They essentially brainwash you at the academy. And for most, the chance at making money for your family or just getting of your backworld planet is a chance you'll take if offered.

A lot of officers and soldiers do desert. Many of them see the atrocities post alderaan and run. Others see the brutality of the empire and turn coat. I'm sure many executions were done if they could catch anyone.
>>

>>50857569
was hitler a super powerful space wizard who controlled his subordiants though mind magic?
>>
>>50857584
>>50857492
On the other hand, you'd also get people that viewed the Empire as the lesser of two evils, what with the whole policing interstellar trade, hunting down pirates, making sure the grain ships continued to reach city-worlds like Coruscant and Taris.
>>
>>50857647
Exactly this, you would think that especially next to hut space there would be a demand for an over militarized super power keeping the borders in check.
>>
>>50857569
Hitler didn't have an entire galaxy to control, actively route for his subordinates to stab each other in the back or the plus of being an evil space wizard with an apprentice who could kill rebels by the dozens.
>>
>>50857492
even according to legends, space magic.

Storm troopers and royal guards seem oddly distant after Palp died. The cohesion of the imperial fleet collapses the instant he is killed.

Basically the empire does not work without Palp directly influencing things through the dark side. So yes, it falls apart fast when he dies.
The reason it half stays together in Legands is Ysaard is mad genius, and she was basically self destructing the entire time.
Everyone else ran off to play warlords. The empire broke up in months even in legends.
>>
>>50857719
>Everyone else ran off to play warlords. The empire broke up in months even in legends.
Try years. A peace treaty isn't signed at least until 15 years after Endor in Legends.
>>
>>50857745
that's how long it took for the Rebels to fully establish themselves as the official government that people could sign peace treaties with.

The warlords started breaking off long long before that.

Why else does Ysaard only have a handful of star destroyers? There were plenty more out there, but the person in charge of 'the empire' didn't have control of them.
>>
>>50852444
E-22 is just a rifle with linked.

>>50852444
I think it;s just A300.

>>50852080
A280CFE, A300, and according to EAfront and some of the toys Jyn's A180 are all reconfigurable weapons with multiple modes.
>>
>>50857793
Yeah, this makes sense. In Nu-Canon, the New Republic establishes itself a year after Endor and ALL of the Empire is dead within that year. No Warlords, no holdouts, no anything. All of it is D E A D except those that eventually go off to form the First Order. They flee immediately after Jakku and aren't heard of again.

I just don't like that they made their super special supercarrier.
>>
>>50857745
The Empire was still losing huge blocks of space and multiple entire fleets to Warlord defection, and even some of their "Loyal" fleets needed extensive bribery to not go warlord on their own.
>>50857793
>Why else does Ysaard only have a handful of star destroyers? There were plenty more out there, but the person in charge of 'the empire' didn't have control of them.
She had more than a Handful before she ran off to play Bacta-merchant, at that point she wasn't running the main line of the empire.

Vader was there to investigate the High Inquisitor's death and also chase off the Rebels since he was there. On the way, he happened to stumble upon two """"""jedi"""""" who were so barely at Padawan level and who he figured probably beat Inkie out of blind luck. Then he discovers Asokha, and his priority shifts to killing her. Asokha was the actual problem-an extremely powerful rogue force user trained by one of the greatest Jedi of the old order. Once she was dead he could give two shits about the two wannabes.

No asshole it was only about Carrie I simply asked who Pablo was, as I didn't know who he was, and thus why he was relevant, not exactly something hard to miss when you have a life outside of 4chan and specificaly outside of /tg/ and /swg, is it? Go ahead and talk about the creators I legitimately do not care. I only said no need to talk about Carrie because it's actually depressing and its fucking Christmas dude, atheist or not it's not a time for being depressed.

Considering the existence of both Mara Jade and Yassane Isard it's not an idea without precedent at all. Just make sure to make her cold on the outside, unbelievably determined, ruthless, and most importantly she either figuratively or literally wants to ride Sheev's necrotic dick.

>>50856139

The Empire tried to cover up the Emperor's death after Endor. In fact, everything that happened at Endor was considered a filthy rebel lie.

Opinions vary, but IMO I'd use morality and obligation. Never use obligation and duty on the same player, but morality adds on easy because it's almost entirely player tracked.

I actually don't like playing games with just morality. Not sure if I can explain it well, but I guess morality feels like it focuses on reacting to things, whereas obligation/duty are about going and acting on things.
>>
>>50861504
I totally get this. Duty and Obligation create scenarios, Morality reacts to existing ones.

>>50861146
Imperial Fleet anon from earlier, here you go, new thread here: >>50861532
>>
Just a note:

There -is- some sort of Imperial Remnant - or possibly multiple ones - after Jakku besides the First Order. It's been referenced multiple times in NuCanon. They've apparently been disarmed after the Galactic Concordance (although that's probably not as true as the NR would like to think given how easy the various corporations of the galaxy were able to skirt sanctions and arm the First Order) and are no longer actively fighting with the New Republic but they are still there and presumably in charge of their own internal affairs.

The New Republic and First Order combined are said to control only a fraction of the space controlled by Sheev's Empire and the Republic that proceeded it so that leaves a lot of territory unaccounted for and either in the hands of completely neutral factions or the remains of the old Empire. Presumably a lot of the core worlds (excluding Coruscant which was turned over to the NR after the concordance, and Chandrilla which was always rebel scum) and other human-dominated or otherwise pro-New Order regions like Tarkin's home turf or the CSA weren't really interested in joining with a bunch of terrorists and aliens and the NR cared enough about peace to just let them do their own thing as long as they weren't stepping on the greater galaxy like the Empire was under Sheev.
