Star Wars
Episode 6.5
After the destruction of the second Death Star and the death of Lord Palpatine,
a new Republic was formed and prospered. Unfortunately, the remnants of the
imperial forces gathered under Lord Shadowspawn and disrupted the peace.
His forces committed several acts Piracy and terrorism throughout the galaxy.
Several planets fell before his onslaught, so the Republic assembled a team of 6
to take him down...
This is an RTD based on the star wars universe. There will be 6 players who are to use all the tools at their disposal to liberate several planets from Lord Shadowspawn and destroy him. All general action rolls will be a d-8 with successes ranging from an absolute fail (1) to total success (7) to overshoot (8 ). Combat will be represented with several duels with each character rolling a d-6. The one with the higher roll will take the difference of health away from the other character. Modifiers can add or subtract to the rolls. A modifier will not, however, trigger an overshoot unless the actual dice roll was an 8. Please ask if anything is unclear. Role playing is highly encouraged

Player 1: Name:PI-07
Species:Class 4 assassin droid
Gender:Droid
Age:10
Description:Has the outward appearance of one of the widespread protocol droids, though is custom build on the inside. Has a dull grey outer shell. He has a compartement in his right leg that pops out to reveal a pistol holster, and a similar pop out compartement that can hold a knife or similar small item.
Inventory:Blaser pistol, Vibroknife.
Abilities:
-Enhanced targeting parameters: Enhanced targetting software helps in placing fast and precise shots.
-protocol programs: programs for translation and etiquette, to better pose as a real protocol droid
-Advanced Engineering: Every respectable droid should know how to stuff works. Be that repairing a car, himself, or "repairing" the toaster oven to electrocute your target.
-Hacking programs: Can connect to terminals to hack into systems
-Basic driving: Has knowledge on how to drive many kinds of vehicles
Backstory: A custom order by a crime lord, the first order it received was to eliminate all threats to the crime lord's operations. So it had a nice few years, killing off the rivals of his master. When it had to be quick and dirty, a long ranged blaster bolt between the eyes always did the trick. Posing as a protocol droid to get into hotels when they had meetings was also a favourite tactic. People truly underestimate the effectiveness of a sabotaged elevator. Or sabotaged escalator, in one rather messy instance. But after the biggest threats were gone, they started using it as an actual protocol droid, the nerve!
One day it saw his master making a deal with some drug smugglers, buying a large amount of drugs for himself. Surely, squandering money on a filthy drug habit would harm the operation, no?
-Assasin droid, recently masterless, for hire-
Player 2: Name: Wes Faltro
Species: Human
Gender: M
Age: 42
Description: Tan-skinned with a midly muscular military build. Mantains both a shaved head as well as shaved facial hair. Is missing an eye, wearing a discreet eyepatch, but his other eye is brown.
Inventory: Blaster pistol, comlink, light combat armour.
Abilities: Is versed in battlefield tactics, especially those used by the Empire; Knows how to handle interaction with nobles and other highborn of the galaxy; Is an apt interrogator, being able to discern lies more often than not.
Backstory: Formerly an officer in the Imperial army, Wes found himself on the wrong end of a blaster rifle when the troops under his command turned on him. The troopers, demoralized by the destruction of the Death Star and taking part of an already-stressful mission, turned on him after one order too many. Taking a shot to the eye and being left for dead, he woke several hours later in enemy territory and alone. He doesn't know whether or not the troopers went on to complete the mission without him, but he knew the consequences waiting for him if he ever went back to the Empire. Thus he deserted and now fights on the opposite side. The rebellion may not trust him and the feeling is mutual, but he has little choice otherwise.
Player 3: Name: Alexander Raman
Species: Human
Gender:Male
Age: 17
Description: A boy of average height and build, with long brown hair. They have tanned skin. Their eyes are a dark brown.
Inventory: Vibrosword, slugthrower rifle
Abilities:Force sensitive, if that counts. slughthrowers.
Backstory: born out of the way of Jedi, Alexander never got noticed as a force sensitive. He learned basic things, and never had much trouble. That all changed when the fire nation attacked when the Empire was coming into power. Accused of being force sensitive, he was going to be executed. He was saved by others he knew. He wasn't acknowledged as force sensetive unti the rebellion retook the planet. He was put as part of the team due to the fact he was force sensetive and had capability in rather rare slugthrowers.
Player 4: Name: Serion
Species: Human
Gender: Gelding (Formerly Male)
Age: 35
Description: Serion is a large man with jet black hair and turquoise eyes. His facial complexion seems to constantly radiate mild disapproval, but he has been known to show emotion occasionally. However, his main claim to (moderate) fame is only apparent when someone scans him for the force. There is nothing. No, less than nothing. He is the opposite of the force. To put it in analogy form, if the force is radiation, he is lead. If the force is light, he is a black hole. Interestingly, if something is soaked in his blood or other bodily fluids (and a few other parts of his body, if it makes sense), it too becomes force-dead. The effect wears off after a few weeks, however.
Inventory: Force-Dead Mark III Exosuit (contains several any-tech ports (filled with Space Magic nanobots to allow the suit to add any piece of technology to itself), it is made out of the same stuff as vibrostaves) (it currently holds a small fusion reactor, a blood replicator, and "Lucy")
"Lucy" (Imagine a square, "Lucy" simultaneously fires a shot from each corner and the center of the square, to prevent deflection. It can fire individual shots or a continuous beam.)
Backup Clone (stored on Kamino, was given to him in exchange for being allowed to test the properties of his blood)
2000 Credits
Abilities: Force-Dead
Proficient in Blasters and His Exosuit.
Backstory: Needless to say, Sirion is a mercenary who specializes in destroying renegade force-users. He doesn't hate force-users unless he has a reason to, however. Sirion usually works for the Jedi Council. He occasionally does work for outside buyers, though, but only if he feels that the target should be killed. He doesn't like to talk about his past much.
Player 5: Ijiraat, modkilled: replaced by Fillipk.
Player 6: Peradon
Waitlist
If someone dies during a planet liberation, after the planet is safe, waitlisted players will replace the dead comerades for next mission.

The crew began discussing strategy among themselves, while PI-07 (3+1=4) familiarized itself with the controls of the ship. It also found the ships condition to be completely satisfactory for flight.

GM Note: I'm going to add a mechanic for leveling up. If your character decides to practice a skill rather that perform an action, I'll roll a d8 with an 8 granting an extra plus 1 to rolls of that type. Maximum of +2. The exception will be to practicing the force. Instead, an 8 roll will unlock new abilities that gets progressively more powerful. You guys should have plenty of time on the ship to practice some stuff.
((I'm going to sign up for the wait list, I will get a character up when I'm not posting from my phone.))
Here is my character
Name: Gilgarnel Fren
Species: Chiss
Gender: Male
Age: 16 (Yes its an adult age for the species)
Description: Has the appearance of a human male, but is 2.1 meters tall (tall for his species) and has blue skin, red eyes, and jet black hair typical for his species. Outcast as an adolescent, for reasons, he wears the uniform of a new republic officer. His face is hardened by scars of battle, both old and recent.
Inventory: A heavy blaster pistol he tinkers with in his off time, Republic officer's uniform,
a vibroknife, and an incendiary grenade, 2 fragmentation grenades and a flash-bang grenade.
Abilities: He can lead troops into a suicide battle and keep most of them alive. (commanding people/tactics) and has some skill with manned turrets and gunner weapons.
Backstory: Exiled at a young age from his home planet, he joined the New Republic and was basically raised there, his mind was quickly picked out and he was sent through officer training academy, from which he graduated in record time. He was then given command of a squad that had seen him through hell and back, but was wiped out in a surprise attack by the empire. He was then selected to be part of a elite taskforce, a higher honor then a higher rank.
((Feel free to use him in a combat where one of the characters die, his backstory should be easy to fit him in.))
Turn 5
Now that a battle was imminent, Malo, Harper, Alexander, and Wes discussed who would be the one to man the turret, although none of them actually entered it. Serion (5) set Lucy to stun and managed to make some decent toast out of it. (added to inventory) It was a minor problem that the toast had a large hole in the middle. PI-07 (4+1=5) Pulled the ship out of hyperspace at an impressively close distance to the planet. The first thing PI-07 saw was the Imperial Star Destroyer fighting some ships similar sized to the Aluminum Buzzard, another glance saw Mos Eisly directly below. PI-07 did not see the two Tie-Interceptors closing in from behind, (PI-07: 3+1=4 vs Tie Interceptors: 3) But the sensors warned PI-07 and it made evasive maneuvers. PI-07 could either fly towards the planet and leave the turret to fight the Interceptors, or it could fight the Interceptors and make use of the Aluminum Buzzard's forward cannons as well.
Player Status:
All players on board the Aluminum Buzzard.
