What era should the RPG take place in?

[Chickenman 9]

Bleh.

[Radioactive Isotope 29]

definitely OR. and if we got bored, eventually we could lead into the Clone Wars.

[Drake 53]

I say OR...but I could also do Clone Wars or post-NJO.

[Mara 29]

OR, before the prequels.

[Andy 60]

Well I went for OR.

Not really intrested in doing Sith Era. KotOR spoiled that era. lol

GCW is overdone so much.

Nobody else is interested in NR era.

Already done NJO RP, and post-NJO.

So that leaves just OR or CW.

[Mara 29]

Well, it looks like OR has already been decided on.

So, really....all that needs to be decided is begining of OR (before prequels), during OR (prequels), or end of OR (Clone Wars).

[Princess 35]

I said NR just because that's what I'm most familiar with, but I'm sure I can fudge my way through an OR RPG

[Drake 53]

Before prequels.

[GI_Admiral 2]

NR, OR, GCW...

[Mara 29]

Before prequels.

I agree.

1). Anakin is annoying.

2). It's more easier to have drama and relationships and such, without a war going on.

3). Doesn't have to be very technical.

4). Easier for non readers of the EU to join, not much has been done in that era....as far as I remember.

[Andy 60]

4). Easier for non readers of the EU to join, not much has been done in that era....as far as I remember.

Yup, there is a massive gap in EU between about 45 BBY and 1000 BBY. filled only with bits and peices mentioned as things that happened in the past in later books.

See....so......I think Pre-prequel OR works.

All in favor, say "aye."

AYE!

[Drake 53]

Eh? Oh right...aye. :p

Think we should do it somewhat closer to BY...but you know...I like structure...

Go pre 1K BY if you guys feel like starting from near scratch lol

[Andy 60]

by going between 5k to 1k BY, we would limit our creativity by having Sith around the place... Possibly.

[Drake 53]

I'm looking at 500-400 BY...the Chu'unthor could be a good setting for some plotlines. We could also do stuff with the Wookiee/Trandoshan conflicts.

[Chickenman 9]

Mara, that means your rpg would be at 194 or so.

[Mara 29]

*shrugs*

And actually, I think it would be better to go closer to 100, than 1000.

But no matter what era we choose, we should make our own adventure, so like.....not using Chu'unthor or Zonoma or whatever. There is no reason to use something already existing, then we're constricted on what we can do.

We just need some generic type plotline......something for everyone to get into (and not necessarily as one big group).

The only reason the events on the timeline would be needed is if the characters need to go to Coruscant or something like that...and the politics and leaders at the time would be needed.

[Drake 53]

I didn't say that we should live on the Chu'unthor or anything...just that it would be cool to stop by once and a while. It's a travelling training ship...we could run into it from time to time.

Whatever, lol.

[Mara 29]

Just sayin'.

What would civilians have to with a Jedi training ship?

[Drake 53]

Who said we're all going to be civilians? My character is a Jedi.

[Chickenman 9]

I'd probably be a jedi or merc.

[Andy 60]

I might go for a non-Jedi, too. I don't make to mny non-Jedi. lol

Maybe a slicer/g33k. :p
