Play Time - Check Calendar for Conversion - Saturday July 18th, 6:00pm US Mountain Daylight Time (GMT-6). Runs for approx. 4 hours.
Genre - SciFi - Star Wars!
Ruleset/Setting - StarWars: Edge of the Empire (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?24151-Star-Wars-Edge-of-the-Empire-Age-of-Rebellion-Force-and-Destiny-v2-ruleset)

Calendar sign up and time-check here (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/calendar/index.xcp?id=1524).

Make sure you know what the time is in your time zone - the Game Calendar will convert the time to your local time *if* you have the time zone set correctly in your FG website profile (including to update for daylight savings if appropriate).

This session will run for 3-5 players – no experience with Star Wars:Edge of the Empire RPG is required. Pre-Gens will be provided.

Communications: We will be using the Fantasy Grounds community TeamSpeak server (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?17071-Voicechat!-Community-TeamSpeak3-Server) for voice communications and in-game background music/SFX. You must have a good quality headset with built in microphone to enable good communication with no feedback. I run a came where voice communications are part of the game - please don't sign-up if you aren't comfortable with this or prefer text because you play in a noisy environment.

Sign up on the game calendar (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/calendar/index.xcp?id=1524) and also post in this thread below:

Your experience with Fantasy Grounds
Your experience with the FFG Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG system
If you have played any of my previous Fantasy Grounds Star Wars scenarios - if so, please try and remember which one and let me know.

I won't accept you until you have communicated in this thread. Make sure you check this thread and your FG PMs (private messages) as I will be sending further info/confirming attendance. If you don't response within a reasonable timeframe I'll remove you from the game - sorry, but I need to know that all of the players are ready, will turn up at the right time and will have their IT "stuff" sorted out. :o

I also reserve the right to select specific people who apply - please don't be offended if the game is over subscribed and I don't accept you. This is a semi first-served basis, but some friends I've invited might jump above those who've already applied. I will finalize the listing on Friday evening.

Noobs are completely welcome for this game. However, if you're unfamiliar with either the RPG or the FG ruleset, please spend a bit of time looking through the following two resources:

For people unfamiliar with the Star Wars:Edge of the Empire RPG, there are quickstart rules available for free download here: https://images-cdn.fantasyflightgames.com/filer_public/18/ff/18ff8afe-bf19-47a3-97e5-a313ded3d6b3/under_a_black_sun_lores.pdf

For those unfamiliar with the Star Wars:Edge of the Empire Fantasy Grounds ruleset, there are some videos available in the ruleset thread here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?24151-Star-Wars-Edge-of-the-Empire-Age-of-Rebellion-Force-and-Destiny-v2-ruleset

I signed up.

Experience with FG: 5 years of meddling with it, mostly as a GM.
Experience with the rules: I started reading them recently... Never played with them.
Never participated in a FG scenario for this system.

But I am eager to try it.

Wow, I am totally the wrong timezone, but I have a vacation so I am IN!

1. I have been GMing with it since 2.0, mostly 3.5 and pathfinder.
2. I have both played and GM'd in the FFG Star Wars games. (Played and GM'd EotE, GM'd AoR) Just fiddling around with the rules set, so not much here...
3. This would be my first time!

I am stoked for this!

At present we have 5 people interested. I'm waiting on a couple of friends before confirming players (one who did a lot of work on the ruleset, so deserves a spot). If you've been accepted on the game calendar you're in, if you're showing pending then please wait just a little longer. Once I have the responses from the players I've invited I'll fill up the remaining spots in the order people posted in this thread. Thanks for the interest, one way or another, I won't keep you waiting long...

Oh... I was just going to confirm you for the game and saw you weren't on the game calendar anymore. I thought I might have deleted you by accident. If you dropped because I hadn't confirmed you yet, the spot is yours - just let me know. Otherwise hope to catch you next time...

Space for one more...

If you have room I can play, it had looked as though you were bringing on new guys to play, and didn't want to eat a spot if there were people who hadn't been graced by this amazing SW ruleset yet.

I'm running it for whoever wants to play. I was delaying to offer some places to people who'd been involved with the ruleset development - to give them a chance to play the results of their hard work. I also copied some of the text from my FGDaze event, which was more aimed at new players - sorry it came across as if I was prioritising new folks.

You're more than welcome to play - it would be good to have you. :)

OK - game full! :)

I'll send out more info tomorrow about the game, pregens, etc..

To get you in the mood, here's the intro crawl:

Sorry, been super busy the last couple of days. Connection details in the game calendar entry, we'll be using the FG Community TeamSpeak server (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?17071-Voicechat!-Community-TeamSpeak3-Server) - look for a Star Wars - Fringers 1 sub-channel.

Pregens available:

Matwe: Human Smuggler (Scoundrel).
CH-1: Droid Bounty Hunter (Gadgeteer).
Tray-Essek: Trandoshan Hired Gun (Marauder).
Sinoca: Rodian Explorer (Trader).
Jovel Nial: Bothan Technician (Slicer).
Grabow - Wookiee Colonist (Doctor).

These are the ones available on the FFG Wesbite, see the "Player Resources" section here: https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/products/star-wars-edge-of-the-empire/ I've tweeked the skills slightly, but they're essentially these pregens.

If anyone has a preference list it here, with a second choice. Otherwise it will be first-come, first-served at game time...

I would like to play Matwe or CH-1. Prefer the smuggler as I've played the 'gunman' in the past.

I am going to have to cancel my participation. My pain condition is making my life miserable right now. I had hoped it would clear up a bit, but it doesn't seem to be the case, so I will go rest and hope that I can participate another time. Sorry for the late cancellation, but I have no control over this condition or when it triggers. It sucks.

I hope you have a very pleasant time.

Thanks for a fun game yesterday. Good to meet a with a couple of FG veterans I hadn't played with before, and always good to game with the Hauber brothers.

We really enjoyed trying the system.

Looking forward to meeting over a few beers in Indy next week!!!

After having quite a few failed tries, mostly becuase i saved the file in the *.flv format I have the first part of this up. The sound is not great (mostly my mic that is maybe a bit high) and I think i could have presented it better, but what is done is done.


For those of you who expect to play this oneshot with Trenloe might find spoilers here in!

Off screen fixes... I'm sure the money from their slugthrowers could pay for it.

Cool - thanks so much for doing this. :)

It is my pleasure. I was recording it as an experiment, having seen others do this stuff. And I learned some stuff. :) I hear myself "dude"ing a lot... Not very Star Warsy...

Here is the third part btw.

And here is the last part of it. It is a very short clip, if i had paid any attention to the editing other then just making shorter parts, i would have left this at the end of part 3. Oh well.

Here comes the last part. And if i have not warned you before (I am very sure I have), THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS
