Details:
The world of Brexit, located in the eastern Expansion Region, is a world that has long been exploited by the galaxy’s major corporations for profit. Nowadays, the world is a barren waste covered in factories, mines, and refineries, and the sky is so polluted that seeing the sky is nigh impossible for those living on its surface.
You and your friends have spent the entirety of your young lives here on Brexit, knowing that if you don’t find a way to change things, you will continue to spend the entirety of your lives toiling away as a corporate slave in the dirty, dangerous factories that constantly surround you. It is time for you to seize your destiny and climb the ladder that leads to the stars!
In this campaign, players will initially take on the role of a group of friends living on a desolate, heavily exploited industrial world in the Star Wars galaxy, beginning a little over a year before the events of Episode 4: A New Hope. Not wanting to live their entire lives as corporate wage slaves in the stinking, choking fumes of the massive factories surrounding them, they will, for a variety of reasons, work towards finding a way to get off-world so they can make themselves a greater life in the stars beyond. The primary aim of the campaign is to set players up with a backstory and an origin point from which they can grow and expand upon, while offering them a relatively free-roaming experience in a sandbox setting where their choices will impact the way they interact with the world around them, and vice versa.
I would like to recruit players who will enjoy roleplaying and storytelling as the main aspects of the story, though this need not entirely exclude those who prefer not to make choices that are narratively appropriate even if they are not mechanically maximized. Tolerance for some amount of swearing is advised, and a good sense of fun and humor is encouraged - this game is mostly about having a fun time telling a communal story with each other.
Additional Notes:
- First session will be used to create characters as a group, followed by the first session of gameplay.
- Experience with the FGU software is desirable – this is my first time running a game with it, and having help from someone more experienced with it when needed would be welcome.
- Experience or knowledge of the Star Wars FFG rules is desirable but is certainly not a necessity – I can and will gladly help players new to the system get up to speed with the rules if they want to play, but it would be nice to not have to if I don’t need to.
- Players will be given a link in our Discord server for a custom-made PDF that will have many, if not most/all, of the homebrew material that will be used in the campaign. I can also provide copies of the official material to players who do not already have access to it.
