Session III: THE FORCE WITHIN

So this session began with a merging of universes. Turk and D'wook's players were present to join the new group.

The last session ended on the cliffhanger with the party having been captured by the pirates they freed from Captain Needa's Star Destroyer.

But rather than opening with the whole group brought to Jabba to be sentenced, I decided that that's something that just happened between sessions, so we opened the session with the skiff traveling towards the sarlaac with Jabba’s pleasure barge leading the way, with a large group of spectators.

Opening Crawl:

Tragedy! The band of heroic rebels have been captured by pirates and taken to the vile gangster Jabba the Hutt for a hefty bounty. 

The empire is now the least of their worries because Jabba has sentenced them to death in the belly of the Sarlaac, where they will know a new definition of pain and suffering as they are slowly digested over a thousand years. 

Jabba’s sail barge sails over the Dune Sea toward the pit of Carkoon, with the prisoners in tow... 

Yikes!

Retcons and retools

Hey, you weren't there!

Well I've started up again after a long hiatus. I assembled a new group to come out and play this game, because only two from the previous group seemed to be the slightest bit interested. And since so much effort has been put into the first introductory adventure where the party has a critical role in the Battle of Yavin, it only really made sense for us to start from the very beginning. I'm actually pretty proud of the plot I devised to have the party tangentially related to what's happening in the movie, so naturally I wanted to give the players a feeling like they are just as important to the Death Star's destruction as Luke Skywalker is. That's fun.

Session II: THE ENEMY OF MY ENEMY....

Note: The title of this session was originally "The Force Within," but the force wasn't really "within" anything for two reasons. First, two of the group members canceled on short notice, which means I had to rework what I had planned. Next, one of the group members was quite late, meaning we ran out of time before what was supposed to be the big climax. (Meaning we probably are going to start the next session with said climax.)

 

Opening Crawl:

The Death Star is no more. REBEL command is planning to evacuate their no-longer hidden base on Yavin IV.

Distress calls from IMPERIAL survivors have been intercepted. They originate from deep within the Yavinian Jungles, because where else would they be when the entire planet/moon thingy has only one biome, like all inhabitable planets in the galaxy.

Special Agent Arnette Sterling Turk, in his first mission as a newly-minted rebel sergeant, has been ordered to lead a team disguised as Imperials to “rescue” this band of survivors and silence any further communication they might have with the Empire...

Session I: SPICE AND SECRETS

Well alright! I've started a new blog for this, because I love the Star Wars D6 roleplaying game and I want my gaming sessions to live forever. I hope that the group I GMed for a few days ago can come together and continue this story.

But for those who are interested in reading... Here are a few introductory disclaimers.
