The Jedi Iroh
So- here’s the idea:
West Marches style Star Wars 5e game in the Chaos timeline.
This way, there’s a multitude of DMs, flexible and non-set schedules, as well as environment we all know really, really well.
Why Star Wars 5e? Why not insert other system here? It’s free, easily accessible, easy to add to and modify, and uses 5e, which has a really low entry barrier for people, and more people are fairly knowledgeable about that system than others.
I’m thinking probably Discord voice for this- we could make a separate server easily enough. And if people wanted, they could branch out into other things like Foundry or Tabletop Simulator, what have you.
Obviously, our timeline is fairly long, but we could pretty easily pick an era based on one of the maps and do that, or just do the present. Flexible!
What about our characters? I’d say start at level 1 and we develop over time (which may be more conducive to an earlier era in Chaos history?) because even our padawan characters and civilians would probably break a game system for balance. They could be different timeline versions of our characters, or as NPCs used with/by their respective writers.
Factions, there’s some stuff in the system for those, and we could get our DMs and game experts to work out something mechanics wise to improve it. Maybe even it offer it to the main SW5E team if we get it working well.
Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions? Interests?
