Starting Over
If we start playing Star Wars again, I want to start over. I am really struggling with a group of characters with very loose connections to each other. It's very difficult for me to put a story around it and it's difficult to keep the interests of all characters in mind and still keep the group together. Especially since Star Wars is our secondary game, I think it would be beneficial to have a very defined sense of purpose for the group. Some examples of the type of group I would like to see:
- Cohesive military unit - Starfighter pilots, special forces, etc.
- Elite intelligence unit - Imperial or Republic
- Group of smugglers or pirates
- Group of Jedi
- Team of assassins - sort of copying the Grass Spiders concept but it'd be equally cool in Star Wars
I also want to re-examine the time period. I much prefer post-ROTJ as opposed to prequel era Star Wars. I don't know if it's the inferior quality of the prequels and the Clone Wars movie or what, but after playing for a few months in the post-Thrawn era of SWC, I'm just loving that time period. If there's a strong preference to stay pre-episode-I then I will oblige, but I urge reconsideration.
I'm also going to shift to a one-session-resolution type of style, no ongoing campaign or extended mission, since we could go months at a time between sessions.
Thoughts?
