Kothra Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) I kind of want to co-host the Star Wars thing, but I don't know how well that would really turn out. I did almost nothing every other time I co-hosted something, but I don't even know if that means anything.Though I do have a fairly decent knowledge of Star Wars stuff (even though most of it's Rebellion Era or later), and haven't really kept up with any of it in a few years.I dunno, I'd like to try if you'll let me but if not that's fine.

Alex Humva Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 How exactly do you have an eldritch pit of blood? What exactly makes the pit of blood eldritch? Is an elder god bathing in it? Are we going to disturb the poor sod's privacy?Ahem. Back to topic.I feel it must be pointed out both here and in the eventually draft that in the Runic RPG, there will be risks. If you tinker too fast and too careless with the arcane, you're going get your digits blown off or worse. If you attempt to seize power and fail, your head is probably going to emulate the King of France's. There is no galactic reset button, decisions have consequences... really basic stuff, but I don't see a lot of it in RPGs.

Havelock Vetinari Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Yep. Around 8 years before Naboo.

Alex Humva Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I am perfectly alright with Jar Jar Binks dying a horrific and cruel death, so long as that epic battle with Maul at the end isn't interfered with.That brings me to wonder; how will players with special skills like what Maul possessed be handled? My thought is that the double bladed lightsaber is absurdly impractical unless you're the right species and very in tune with the Force, but I'm sure there's other stuff in the SW universe that works similarly on the cool but impractical unless you're x y and z.

The thing that lets them deflect blaster bolts so quickly? The force. Without it they'd be gently steaming meat.

Havelock Vetinari Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Kind of. The design wasn't around till the prequels.

HeavyMetalSunshineSister Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 The final battle with Darth Maul was an excellent example of terrible choreography. Remember kids, aim for your opponent's blade, otherwise someone might get hurt! If he's fallen and needs time to get up, swing your sword at the floor like a moron! Above all else, jump around like a jackrabbit on meth, accomplishing nothing so you can look kind of cool.But yeah, lightsaber minus Force=bad.

Havelock Vetinari Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 The way it's looking now, most of the southern Outer Rim will be open for play no matter the circumstances. It's a bit more then I intended, but it'll make it so getting more then fifty million credits together isn't almost impossible. More planets, more resources etc.Xom: Hock it to the highest bidder.

Xomeron Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Rover, the idea was that he's looking for the highest bidder; no one will buy it legitimately, because the implications of a lightsaber without a Jedi to go with it are...bad, to say the least.

HeavyMetalSunshineSister Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I was referring more to someone who isn't a Force-user and trained in use of a lightsaber trying to use a lightsaber - the reasons why fencing one would be difficult are quite different.

Xomeron Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Closed sector, just one.
