Shadows of Bankor

I really enjoyed Qareme! She was great to have very different characters interact with (which is maybe why you felt she was like an NPC?). I think you said you don't plan to bring her back for another game. What do you think is a fitting epilogue for her? Becoming one with the force in some dramatic...

Besides the Star Wars rogue/wraith books, what fiction (or nonfiction) do you think of when you think of fighter jock stories?

(A slightly self absorbed question because I may some day overcome my ignorance of the ffg vehicle rules by trying to run a game that focuses on them)

Vaya detected the incoming Verse and quickly if clumsily tried to make a path for her to one of the lounge’s couches. She almost knocked several things to the floor in the process, only to realize she’d all that frantic effort had been to clear Verse the seat with the best view of the Board. “Gentle...

Vaya found her practical, logistical, expedition-planner mode easy to drop in to for her answer. That saved her from having to react on the spot from a more emotional level to having her declaration of abandonment met with not only equanimity but generosity. “Thank you, General, but I don’t think th...

" RAAAAAARGH !" Dacen game his trademark yell as he rushed at Elgin... "He did the yell! Drink!" "You can't defeat me!" He said, spreading his arms wide. "I have the Warrior's Heart and the First Mandalore's essence! "They said the, uh, the title! Drink!" "Wait, if he absorbs the First Mandalore's ...

Oh hey, we both were radicalized by the attack on the Anzuri! I really liked the very unique angle on Rebellion -- even as SW media and FFG materials have included more prequel nods, including ex-CIS now-rebels, he really stood out to me for the combination of background, personality, methods, voice...

The call to drink was greeted with a raised eyebrow, but he poured himself some more bourbon and took a drink. "I think the Doctor here is trying to get us drunk Ria'la."

"More importantly, I'm trying to get me drunk," she said. "Have you seen this show?"

Vaya didn't know if she was the first back to the ship. A highly necessary bathroom break and a slightly wavy route from the beachside showing of Warrior's Heart had left plenty of time for anyone else who was there to beat her home -- if they had gone at all. She thanked her earlier self for having...

"I'm..." Not cut out to be an insurgent, abandoning you to help the Jedi that I know you don't like very well, not interrogation-resistant enough to know all your secrets, ideologically hollow, in the middle of a spiritual crisis "... in debt to Vandil. I traded her for some information -- that's wh...

Well, there that is. Vaya had spent some time imagining how to have this conversation, and still hadn't really settled on an approach. "No," said Vaya, maybe surprised as anyone that she'd taken the rip-the-synthflesh-off approach. "General, I've got to leave. I can't stay here anymore." She shook ...

Jenna was a big part of Vaya's Bankor, obviously, so thank you for that! From a sometimes-GM perspective, I'm curious how you worked out your stuff with Vandil and Tidiol, particularly around the fatal call. How much was worked out before/during/mid-game, what was an agreed-upon part vs where did Da...

I really enjoyed reading Floats! I don't know why, but I feel like I came across amusing bits from her at an above-average rate, given that I didn't have a lot of time to read threads I wasn't in. She cross-pollinated in my head with a period piece I watched while playing this game, so I now have in...

I only did a drive-by question earlier because I was using limited posting time for the game, so I didn't yet say, this was awesome! I have a smaller sample size for these sorts of games so I don't have as many points of comparison as other players, but, I had a tremendous amount of fun. I'm glad th...

Astin took the flask and sniffed it before taking a nip and passing it back. "She had some that said she's forty five, checked em the last time she came by." Astin lied with a casual shrug. Vaya nodded, her lips pursed judiciously. "Checks out. She's clearly in an advanced state of decrepitude." "I...

''It is a worthy tradition'' he admitted ''Did any of you seen Jabber since yesterday? I have a search and rescue party doing sweeps around the region'' "I was talking with some of his Jawa friends," said Vaya. "Don't worry about him, I think he's waist-deep in some rather good scrap, eh wot." Vaya...

1 to 10, how annoying/despair inducing was Verse's cunning 1 antics to Vaya? 8-) She managed to never actually ruin anything, so definitely less than 5. :D Her cunning 1 was less of a problem than general typical Padawan getting-in-over-your-headness. As you might have picked up, Vaya eventually ju...

Thank you from that boost for the final push on the CIS ship out of nowhere. Sad I wasn't there to interact and help at that point, but it is nice having things interact like that. :) Yeah! Like I said, Valuable Facts was fun, it gave me an into a lot of different scenes, so I got to interact with ...

Vaya, wrapped in a thermal cloak and other cold-weather gear, trudged into the command room from the access hallway. "I, uh, talked to the Sargeant," she said. "He said he'd find some volunteers among the V2's to be powered down and partially disassembled for storage. "It'll be a tight fit, but you'...

Vaya! <3 Was fun to read the sneaksy Balosar archaeologist who was also an excellent crook. ;) I think this is also my first time seeing a Balosar in a game, so that was pretty great too! Your posts were also very well written and an absolute joy to read. Particularly our scene together, but I'm pr...

She gave Dredgen a tired look. General exhaustion, or pointedly tired of something or some one, was difficult to tell. "Unless you've got a couple of star cruisers of your own you haven't told us about," she jabbed a finger at the holotank again, "it doesn't matter where we're going. Anything worth ...

Vaya threw open her camp chair and tossed it down next to where Verse had set Ria'la. She smirked as Astin handed her a drink. "Did you remember to ask her for her scandocs? I'm not sure she's old enough." She pulled out her own flask of Rygor cactus moonshine and took a nip before holding it out in...

Vaya listened, her face still but her antennapalps twitching. She wasn't sure whether, or how much, of the speech was directed her way, or Dredgen's, or both; how much was strategic, and how much-heart felt. She raised her hand to tap her cheek, her usual thoughtful tic, but found her arm was too ti...

I don't think we'll need these, so I'll flip one-third of our remaining light side destiny...

Vaya leaned into Bowze, as if conferring, but spoke loud enough for Huk to hear, and for them both to judge his reaction. "How do you think this compares to the incident on Clabron?" She'd been cramming on military history and tactics, and the CIS-linked assassination attempt was a case study in har...

As Dredgen spoke to Bowze, Vaya at last found it safe to look at him. She watched him speaking, willing some sign of truth or untruth to shine clearly through, or better yet drop to the floor, where she could pick it up, feel it in her hands, and show to others.
