    Step into a galaxy under occupation where heroism is punished and survival is a way of life.

    A decade after Order 66, the Empire has had time to settle in. Not just with armies, but with laws, checkpoints, informants, and fear. Systems are occupied “for their safety.” Industry is nationalized. Dissidents vanish. Whole worlds are taxed into oblivion, and those in power prosper.

    Shipping lanes are plagued by patrols.
    Bureaucrats seize cargo with a signature.
    People can disappear into the system.
    And what power you believed you had over your own life is gone…
    unless you learn how to move quietly.

    This is an 18+ story-first roleplaying game. Write the stories you want—action, intrigue, romance, slice-of-life, and long arcs—built on consent, collaboration, and respect.

  • Conversations and questions about current, upcoming, and advertised games and the hobby as a whole.

    Try to keep the scene moving,

    Please. Please keep things moving. I’ve been in GM’d scenes where we haven’t even finished “posing in” and have already hit the 1 hour mark.

    I know this is a few days ago, but this irks me so bad. It is why in the last few years that I was GMing for people, I instituted a rule that if you had not posed after 5-10 minutes when it was your run and not responded OOC your turn would be skipped.

    But scenes moving so slowly that I’d lose all focus on them, is a big reason why I stopped GMing and RPing altogether.

    @Gashlycrumb Also, chances are most of the people you (general not specific) have a problem with have a similar opinion of you so 1) Why would they care? 2) Why would they be surprised? People are allowed to avoid games because of Staff (whether your own issue or in support of someone else) so it seems hypocritical to not allow Staff the same option especially when they’re the one putting in the effort to run the game.

    @tsar I am replying here to get your attention for no reason related to past posts in this thread.

    I just want to say I both appreciate and 😄 over the 🐌 facts I see when I peek at Crimson Compass’s site.

    . You really can’t say staff is refusing to interact with a player because the player is a chore when there was never a period when they did actually interact with that player.

    A lot of people don’t realize they’ve become a chore until well after the fact. We’re not often conscious of annoying social behaviors because we’re used to acting a specific way, even in an online text form.

    I mean this very nearly literally. Not ‘over time Abelard became tiresome to AwesomeStaffer and Abelard didn’t know it’ which certainly does happen, but ‘AwesomeStaffer has not responded to Abelard since they approved him.’ Awesome has no bad experience of Abelard. Little ways Abelard is annoying haven’t built up over time.

    Yeah, I can’t say I was psyched ot see it was 5E but it’s not a deal breaker either. It’s weird because we live in a great time for IP-based RPGs(Transformers, GI Joe, Power Rangers, and now Thundercats), but I’m not a huge fan of any of the systems behind them. The exception being Star Trek. I do like the 2D20 system.
