Jedi Padawan Quest 001
You've been a student at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant since you were very, very young. Longer than you can remember; you can't recall what either of your parents looked like. But you're not bitter. You've been raised well by the Jedi at the Temple.
Now you're nearly thirteen years old, and your first step towards Jedi Knighthood will come soon. Soon you'll have to participate in your Initiate trials, and from there a Knight or Master will take you on as a Padawan learner.
You're not particularly worried about passing the Initiate trials. You've been trained well. Your only real worry is who you'll be apprenticed to. You know that the judgment of the Council will be wise, but you haven't been able to stop yourself from wondering who, exactly, will be your mentor.
These thoughts have been clouding your mind lately. You sit in quiet meditation, attempting to clear your mind.
As you get deeper into meditation, you take some time to reflect on yourself. You are a...
>Male or Female
>Human, Twi'lek, or Nautolan
... who is named...
>Pick a name.
Rules:
Dice rolls will always be the best of 3 rolls, and will almost always be a d20 roll.
The most popular choice after 15 minutes will be used.
If 15 minutes pass and no one has voted, I will bump the thread.
I will only bump once per thread.
If votes are tied between two opposing choices at 15 minutes, an additional 10 minutes will be allowed for voting.
If votes are still tied after the additional 10 minutes, the decision goes to coin toss.

The entire late-war Zeon Army is on a planet invaded by a single mid-sized Space Marine Legion. Orbital bombardment is prohibited because of blah blah precious archaeotech.
Who wins?
>>46551213
>a single mid-sized Space Marine Legion
So, what, several tens of thousands of space marines and their various serfs, vehicles, and wargear?
Yeah, SM.
Space Marines, easily.
The best Zeon stuff is meant to be used in space, not on planet.

Are there any good tabletop podcasts like Acquisitions Inc? I'd like to follow a campaign from start to finish. I'm surprised they aren't more popular.

Check out Rollplay. Their Stars Without Number campaign Swan Song and their Shadowrun game are really great.

By and large, what color has the bestbadguys?
The best Magic villain remains Konda.
It's a shame, because if his set hadn't followed Mirrodin, he would have cost 5.
Green is mean.

Are we strictly talking lore or are we talking color pie?
'Cause I do love Ra's al Ghul
You are Tsukuda Ryouta, a Shinigami of the 12th Division with the unique position of an investigator of abnormal occurrences.
Even as an investigator, you've had to fight your share of Hollows, Shinigami, even Quincies and humans with bizarre spiritual powers. None of those battles were easy. You got by not by personal prowess, but through your skill of turning every fight into an unfair one. There is nothing to be ashamed of there. Most Shinigami - at least the ones who intend to live - have to rely on the same means to survive.
But with this next enemy, no matter what you do, you won't be able to turn the fight into an unfair one. Even with the cold-eyed prodigy of the First Division by your side, even with the two of you against a lone enemy, this still isn't fair. And of course, those odds are not in your favor.
The Menos Grande is about to appear. A black monolith of immense power. A type of Hollow so distant from the rest of its kind that it warranted its own classification.
That giant is about to erupt through the cracked sky, and if unstopped, will lay waste to the entire city. A pair of Shinigami that aren't even close to Lieutenant level obviously can't stop it. Even if backup were to arrive now, what would they do? This kind of foe requires a special force, with specialized equipment and training. Even a dozen-strong squad of common soldiers wouldn't accomplish anything here. And if the two you were to make a last stand here on your own, if you were to throw your lives away for the sake of not even defeating, but merely delaying that thing's advance, you don't think you would hold back the inevitable by even a minute.
(1/2)
>>46543829
And despite all that, here you are, waiting for its arrival. You came upon a miraculous chance to turn this fight into an unfair one, and you've decided to take it. Miura Kentaro, a human Fullbringer, claims that he possesses an ability that allows him to bring spiritual beings down to his level. According to him, a single shot from his 9mm pistol will turn the phenomenon known as the Menos Grande into something that even the two of you could cut. His claims are difficult to believe, but there is some semblance of evidence to back his statement - a Shinigami had been killed by that same weapon.
The plan is incredibly simple. You'll wait for the Menos to come out, and that's when Kentaro will shoot him. You and Takenaka Hanae will charge in and slash it from the leg up until you reach the head. If Kentaro's claim turns out to be wrong, you'll flee in different directions. A plan of ambushing the Menos was proposed, but Kentaro refused for the following reasons: he can't flee from the top of a rooftop as quick as he would like if the plan was to go awry, he has no means of communicating with you if you left him on the ground while you hid, and the gunshot would be enough of a giveaway to any sort of surprise in the first place.
The thin, cracked fabric of this world's reality is strained to its limit. The Menos should appear any minute now. Even so, it may not be too late to change your mind.
...
>Go on with the plan.
>Try to convince Hanae to withdraw.
>Other. (Write-in).

You stretch leisurely in your office chair, groaning as your spine crinkles and pops alarmingly. You're used to being far more active during your daily work - even more than you tend to be on base, chasing around psychotic little ship-dog-things - so this desk jockey thing doesn't come natural.
It's not because you're getting older by the second. No sir.
Glancing at your computer, you see it's almost noon. Turning your wrist over, you see it's actually half-past one, because Windows is a blight upon humanity. You'd think the Navy would've learned after a blue-screen bricked an entire *ship,* but alas, the spirit of BeauOrds lives on in the wretched halls of IT. At least The War wiped out the budget limitations - every Burke in the fleet finally had their old mainframes ripped out and COTS servers crammed into them many months ago. A single tear was wept as the crews waved goodbye to the elderly COBOL programmers, riding into the sunset for the last time.
Thirty seconds of wandering thoughts. Yep, you're getting old. You heave a miserable sigh and kick your desk chair back - it's time for some goddamned lunch.

first for hate needs to fuck yams
Instead of rousting a pair of bored-looking MPs or setting yourself up for another hour of long, sarcastic sipping sounds from Hamp, you just call Hate to pick you up. You pin your phone against your ear to enjoy his running monologue of bitching, a whole chorus of corgis offering soulful counterpoint to his smooth jazz griping for the entire short drive across base. After helping you clear a spot on the passenger seat (which consists of frantically shoveling a constant stream of corgis out of the open space till you manage to squeeze in,) he screams towards the officer's mess with his typical grace. This time, however, he pulls to the curb as the pretty flashing lights in your rearview alert you to trouble. Hate yawns as the MP slowly approaches the SUV, a dour look and a citation book in his hand. He reaches the driver's window and promptly recoils before he's lost to view behind a solid wall of frantically barking dogs. Hate just tips his cover down, letting the brim shield his eyes from the whapwhapwhap of several little tails at high WPM.

Things can only go downhill from here.
Say you knew how to do actual magic - not just "probability manipulation" bullshit, but like actually creating fireballs and shit - and you could teach others if you chose to. Would you? Why or why not?
I would teach everyone and then Geas them to teach at least two more people who they would Geas to do the same
Why?
WIZARD!
>>46543500
I'm more interested in the pros and cons of teaching others, not what you would do with powers.
>>46543414
>like actually creating fireballs and shit
You can do that with probability manipulation though.

Junk Disney's recent horseshit, bring the classic EU to the forefront
Have FFG do sourcebooks like WEG did for certain periods in the setting, like Tales of the Jedi/KOTOR, the years post ROTJ, etc
>>46545616
Not knowing much about the RPG system, WEG or FFG, I can't speak much for mechanics, though people do get incredibly butthurt about having to use FFG dice, though there are conversion tables for regular dice results.
That said, for fluff I'd just chop anything before A New Hope, and amputate a whole lot of the festering Legends canon. Lucas himself seems to have completely broken every rule from FFG's style guide for Star Wars (which is good advice for fucking every setting) when he went and made the prequels, and it's painful; wrapped up in the grandioseness of its own franchise. Rogue One might be an exception to this, but I'd have to wait and see if it's even possible for a Star Wars prequel to be pretty good.
>>46545760
>Junk Disney's recent horseshit, bring the classic EU to the forefront
I suppose it's as much a matter of opinion as anything else, but there's shit like Crystal Star and Jedi Prince jammed up in the EU, with a whole lot of other shit. The WEG styleguide was actually created almost as a reaction to what was the forefront of what "classic EU" dredged up.
I agree with you on one thing, though, Tales of the Jedi would be pretty fucking amazing as a period of the setting.
The Alpha zombie, Brute, Mimic, Puker and Stalker have escaped a facility that was holding them. They have killed and reanimated the employees and staff and now stand in the yard surrounded by forest.

The Toxic, Armoured and Feral zombie are also playable characters. Rolls will be made on a D100, combat rolls will be made with 2 D100, the first for your attack and the 2nd for how well you defend during the assault. Pick a character and jump in!

Perhaps it's only appropriate that human problems should be solved by human hands – but are these really human problems?
Perhaps not, since it was the Seer, one of two remaining members of the ancient discipline of sorcery, that set this terrible machine in motion. Even if he worked through intermediaries and agents, it was his mind that set up the pieces of this great game. No, this cannot be dismissed as a mere “human problem”, even if men are the ones who will pay the price for what is coming. For his role in this, the Mentor must play his part in setting things right. Yet, every indication he has given you seems to say that he is willing to stand by and do nothing, even as war consumes the land.
No, not quite nothing. He can summon the will to curse and bemoan his fate. The Mentor – the one who you once trusted above all over men – seems happy to languish in his own self-imposed powerlessness.
Unforgivable. Now of all times, when the Emperor's soldiers have the Nameless Temple surrounded, he cannot be allowed to distance himself from the world.
>>46540751
Forget the issue of whether he is willing to act, you tell the Mentor coldly, forget about issues of will and intention. You've got one simple question for him – could he make the soldiers outside leave? Does he have any power at all that might banish them from this place?
“I could do it, without question,” a hint of stubborn pride dances around the edges of the Mentor's voice, as if your implications have wounded the shreds of his dignity, “Mere words would be enough to see them away, and to ensure that they never return.”
Then why, you ask, hasn't he done a damn thing about it?
“Take a man, Ira, a man who has sworn off all worldly desires and indulgences. Take this man, and place him in a room with as much wine and food as he can stomach,” the old man slips easily back into his role as teacher, even if you're not in the mood for a lecture, “Do you think this man will drink in moderation? Or would he glut himself on the rich pleasures available to him? I could unleash the power that I have spent so many generations denying... but I fear what would happen next. Men are weak, Ira, and that is one frailty that I retain.”
So that's it, is it? It all comes down to a simple lack of self-control on his part – or even just the fear of that lack?
“There are other factors to consider,” he insists, “Say I used sorcery to defeat our enemies. It would just make enemies of all the gods, and any men who recognise what they have witnessed. Perhaps we would be safe for today, but we would destroy our place in society. Would you turn to the greatest of sins in order to turn away a few armed men?”
And if what Selene told you is true, acts of sorcery led to Makai's destruction. Can you really risk unleashing that power again, in your home of all places?
>I see no other choice. We must use sorcery
>I'll speak with the soldiers outside. I can make them see reason
>For now, we should wait and see what happens

>>46540759
>>I'll speak with the soldiers outside. I can make them see reason
I won't rule out using sorcery but I think it should be a last resort.

>I'll speak with the soldiers outside. I can make them see reason
Are there any traditional games that you could literally play anywhere?
Cards, chess and draughts with dirt and rocks, you can invent a basic rpg on a desert island with as little as a knucklebone die and some wet sand to keep notes on.
With a survival knife you can carve your own gamepieces out of wood and pay whatever wherever.

damn anon, 2deep
You're Brin Wabien, at this point you should consider yourself to be a fully fledged student of the Sigil School and Research Castle in Broting. The way you became one is... Interesting needless to say, but for now, you have other things to worry about.
Your day was started off with a test of your talent, apparently you're one of a kind because not only can you see what's a real sigil. But you're also capable of reading them no matter how hard age tarnished the writing, with perfect accentuation and pronunciation. Even if you don't actually understand what exactly you're saying. On top of that, you've been told that there's an organization called The Slanes, originating from the country up in the north, the Rusada Kingdom. And apparently, they're very much interested in your gift, sadly, not in a way that'd be beneficial to both parties, to say the least. Anyway, right now you have just finished your dinner. Getting yourself clean you begin to wonder.
There's an awful lack of students. In fact, you're not even sure if there's more people than you've met so far, minus the private army soldiers on post.
