Tax Refund

So, I was going over some things with one of our players the discussion went to why they don't get huge lumps of cash.

Talon Journal Entry for 5-4-12

After some thought we decide to perform another jump to a random force signature.  A few uneventful days go by as we sail through hyperspace and upon exiting we spy a massive derelict ship.  The ship definitely looks like it has had better days.  With difficulty we find and land in a docking bay, without the aid of a tractor beam or docking lights even!

NPC Spotlight: Master Sigma

Master Sigma is one of the best known tacticians around. When it comes to traps, none are better.

Smash TV

More money, more prizes. That's the name of the game.

NPC Spotlight: Knight Koosh

The first member of the new Jedi that the players met, Koosh is responsible for the safety of the crew in their early days in the universe.

NPC Spotlight: Dog Officer Ruff

This week we take a bit of a different direction and will explore the personality and quirks of one of the few people to stand out in this universe despite not being trained in the force.

NPC Spotlight: Darth Blaze

A mystery figure, as little is known about her. There is even question as to whether she's still alive or not currently. However there is a lot to her, and dead or alive, she is still important to the future of some ships.

NPC Spotlight: Knight Kyla

Today's entry is more of a bit character so far, but will hopefully have more use in the future.

NPC Spotlight: Master Grod

And now in this corner the master of pain, one of the strongest hand to hand combatants alive, and pretty tough with force powers. Master Grod, the Wookiee master of the force.

Act II

We're almost to Act II. We've been getting ready by earning experience and getting new ships to aid in the fight. However we have a bit of a struggle as we're learning that despite a lot of people willing to help, not many people will jump into a fight for no reason.

NPC Spotlight: Jedi Mebsuta

A minor player in the game but still fairly important. If not for himself, but for who he works for.

Abilities

So I am adding a few new abilities to the game to help out the players and add some more detail to the setting. These will be helpful to add a few more setting based abilities. More will hopefully come later.

Talon Journal Entry for 3-9-12

After a long, hard and sweaty training session with the apprentice, Knight Kyla pulls me aside. She tells me that she trusts me and reveals a real Jedi Holocron. Both Fae and Kyla know that the current traditions are wrong since they draw their power from emotion and hatred and want to follow the true Jedi traditions. I offer any assistance I can since I am well versed in both Jedi and Sith traditions. I'm very excited since this is my chance to rebuild the Jedi Order! I also ask her about the force blades and learn that they pull energies from the user rather than a battery.

NPC Spotlight: Darth Cyan

This week we're covering a fairly new NPC to the campaign, but one of the most helpful we've seen. Her ship is the ISD Verde, an ISD with the front end replaced with a bigger docking ring creating a space for open trade.

Getting Into It

Finally we're seeing some action in Star Wars. Not that it hasn't been exiting up until this point, but in the new timeline and the new era, the progress has been slow.

Talon Journal Entry for 3-2-12

We're met by a uniformed twi'lek and after a brief conversation we learn that the year is 329 of the New Galactic Calendar. He then leads us to a great chamber where their commander sits high up on a throne. It looks like a small furry creature wearing robes, the dialect it speaks is just as foreign as this place. Much to our relief the twi'lek translates for us. Right away we learn that they have no concept of planets as all were destroyed in the war between the Jedi and Sith. According to him the Jedi eradicated all of the remaining Sith at the end of the war. If that's so, what is this lingering dark side presence I feel? Much of the old technology has been lost and ships are entirely dependent on Jedi for long distance travel as nav computers are a relic of the past. Our interpreter reveals the race of our host, an Ewok. After a few more questions he walks down to get a closer look at us.

NPC Spotlight: Knight Koosh

Saturday seems like as good of day as any to drop this new feature. I started it on Monday to fill in and it's been getting a lot of traffic. For this installment we're going to get away from the major characters and fill in a bit of the background, starting with Knight Koosh.

NPC Spotlight: The Prophet

Filling in for Black Iniquity, as he is taking the weekend off. So I'm introducing the most useful resource for my players this yet. Hopefully this will also be useful for other Game Masters out there to help build NPCs as well.
First up, we're going to cover the most essential non-player character in the campaign, the mastermind behind it all, The Prophet.

Total Paradigm Shift

So my players wrote me a blank check to mess with their heads by going into the future. So far we're just exploring the world without getting to heavy into the plot (yet). I want them to know some of the characters before getting to far involved.

Talon Recap Beginning to 1-27-12

 This is a look into what got Talon to where he is. A blast from the past and a not so quick recap. I hope you all enjoy reading it as much as Black Iniquity and I have enjoyed getting him there.
