Because I miss RPs, blast it. And the more people there are, the more character interactions and the less plot required (which means more fun for you and less work for me!)

Wheeeek? *general weird squeaky-noise of curiosity*
Star Wars RPG = yes, very yes, and total yes
I have no idea what this pre-existing RPG you're referring to in the poll is, but any excuse for me to be able to pick from one of a plethora of characters of mine that live in that era is groovy by me.

Yay for people who love the Jed Academy era! There's just something about the ruins as a setting that's so great...
PitD has its own ProBoard, but it...died. We didn't have enough members, we didn't have many good members, we really didn't need a new forum; I just wanted it because it was shiny and new. It had a lot of potential though.

Haha...I think one of the reasons I like it so much is that it was the furthest point the EU timeline was at when I first got into Star Wars, so I seem to have psychologically entrenched myself in it as the "present" of the SW universe (before the Vong came and everything got all wonky).
Hey, nothing inherently wrong with shiny and and new.
If you need any help with it, let me know. I'm sometimes halfway decent with plot-type shenanigans.

Well, I joined up to take part in a new Star Wars RP, so of course I'm up for it! Although I'm more partial to the Old Republic/Rise of the Empire eras. I'm up fer anything though!

Welcome, demarion! I'm Nemonus on dA. ^_^ Ok, I'll mark you down for another era and we'll see what happens.
Hmm...trying to remember where the SW universe was when I first got into it is peering into the mists of time. XD I remember reading one of the Zahn books, and I don't think it was the first one, and being very confused. And then I read the Jedi Academy trilogy, which I loved to death--I could really see movie!Luke turning into that Luke, so that made more sense to me. I think the canon was actually up to NJO, though, at that time. Sar Sha (she's got an account on here) was reading those, so I got really into them too. But JA is better. XD Less...trying to tear everything apart.
I may very well take you up on that plot offer if I hit a low spot. But I'm gonna try and make this character-based; I'll be playing a student and maybe an antagonist instead of Luke like I did in PitD--he's hard to work into a plot about students. I was once in a really good RP where there wasn't much plot, more character interaction, where some people figured out they had connections in their pasts and things.

I know...NJO seemed to take everything we knew and loved about the galaxy and sent them through a paper shredder, one by one, as we were forced to sit and watch, our eyelids taped open.
And yet I still like the Vong. (Why is this I have no idea.)
Character-based is cool, I'm definitely up for that. It would be a lot of fun. I'm just trying to decide which of my characters I ought to use--depends on what year you're basing this in, I guess.

Ahh, Clockwork Orange much?! Yeah, I felt that they were really going for shock value, with Chewie and Star by Star especially. But the Yuuzhan Vong were a very unique race with a very strong point of view (and mad creepy to boot). They do color any situation. XD
I'm not sure I'll go so far as to specify year. Long enough after the JA (Jedi Academy, not Jedi Apprentice...blasted acronyms) trilogy that Luke is securely ensconced as Grand Master, with some other masters, i.e. Tionne and Kam Solusar, beneath him.
That's not to say that I wouldn't enjoy, say, a KotOR-era game running too. But I wouldn't wanna give the brain power to running two, not during school.

Haha...all righty then, I'll see what I can cook up by doing some rough estimation of how old the characters might be (and where they might be) at that time. Maybe I'll play this one character I haven't introduced yet, just to get a better handle on her personality. I dunno. It's all so up in the air right now. My brain is focused more on lunch at the moment.

I haven't read many books in the later eras (Legacy, etc), so if we do it there, I'll kinda be playing by ear. I've been working on a character to use, no matter which era though. xD

Post by Cy Skywalker on Nov 9, 2009 17:40:21 GMT -5
It won't be Legacy. I don't like those eras enough/know enough about them myself. It'll most likely be JA or pre-TPM.

Post by surfersquid on Nov 9, 2009 18:05:57 GMT -5
Yeah, I'm hopelessly behind on my Legacy too (plus it's not my favorite of eras).
I think I can work with pre-TPM too. Actually, that might give me a chance to use a character who would otherwise be relegated to the dusty archives of one-shots... *schemes*
Oh, and welcome to the board, demarion! Sorry I was a little late on that.

Would it be a bad idea to have two running at once?

Post by Demarion on Nov 9, 2009 19:14:25 GMT -5
I am sorry to admit I don't know what "TPM" is standing for. :x
I would love to do a Clone Wars based one, actually. But again, I'm new, and I'm not picky. xD
And thank you! (I thought I had done an uppercase on my name, but I guess I didn't. Hm, bothersome.)

The Phantom Menace.
I think there's a way to change your display name, in your control panel or something like that.
I wouldn't mind two running at once. I'm bored enough to be able to handle that.

Post by Demarion on Nov 9, 2009 19:36:43 GMT -5
Ah ha ha, duh.
I could do two of them as well.
What themes are usually played here? Liiiiike, romance, action, etc?

Don't worry about it, I've been stumped by far more obvious acronyms.
I'm new here myself, so I wouldn't know...but Cy's the Grand Master of Forumosity, so she can definitely tell you.

Oh okay.
Just so you know my characters all tend to lean toward sexual relationships so... they have to strictly be told NOT to do that before something starts. xD
