Re: Intersystems Academy (Character Creation)
Suddenly came down with a cold, too! So it looks like I might not get full character tables out until the weekend. In the meantime, since we're beginning with 4.5k, I suggest everyone do the following: 1. Roll HD, just once for your current level mustering out. All HD are d6. Jedi who are twin-class...

Re: Intersystems Academy (Character Creation)
I hoped to get more character information up tonight but I've had to prep for class a lot more than expected, so it'll have to wait.

Re: Intersystems Academy (Character Creation)
I am having a hard time reading the dwarf section. What level do they max at? They max at 6, Myrmidon. Here's what I have on them: [page 3.] If they [the players] choose to be magic-users or fighting men they have the additional option of playing as Elves or dwarves. Elves find secret doors easier,...

Re: Intersystems Academy (Character Creation)
Interesting suggestion! I can readily accommodate either way, so I think we just might. It will also give us a stronger idea of how Chainmail combat scales with the game right off the bat, instead of having to wait around forever until characters finally start fighting as 2 or 3 men apiece. It also ...

Re: Intersystems Academy (Character Creation)
Cool! So we've got an elf, dwarf, and cleric. Ogre Mage forgot about going on holiday so he'll jump in when he's back. Dicey, you'll have to decide whether to begin as a fighter or magic-user: the fighter side maxes out at level 4 (5000xp) and magic-user at level 8 (60,000xp), so unless you really w...

Re: Intersystems Academy (Character Creation)
I think the elf is a good fit this way. Sort of like Luke was a fighter when we first encounter him and light saber training completes that. Then he slowly transitions to full Jedi (utilizing force powers, ie. MU). Good point. In fact, rereading the opening page about the races, I don't think you e...

Re: Intersystems Academy (Character Creation)
FYI, based on my reading, it sounds like elves are meant to pick which class to advance in first, then they switch over after maxing out. In other words, a Jedi Bendu character will begin play at first level in both classes, but must choose which class to advance in first: fighting man (up to 4th le...

GP[3d6]=6Int[3d6]=8Cun[3d6]=14Str[3d6]=12Health[3d6]=11App[3d6]=10 Giving these rolls, I will try Soont Waldas a Human Dai Ashla (Lawful Cleric) Sound choice.

Re: Intersystems Academy (Character Creation)
Regarding ability score swapping: After reading pages 4-6 and the note on page 3 about dwarves, this is how I think I'm reading ability score generation. I'm on the fence though, and I'm willing to be nudged to a different interpretation: It's 3d6 down the line. Technically I roll for you, but what...

Re: Intersystems Academy (Character Creation)
Ability Scores (pp. 4-6) These are generated with 3d6 as usual, for these factors: Gold Pieces, Intelligence, Cunning, Strength, Health, and Appearance. Cunning and Health seem to correspond directly to Wisdom and Constitution, but Appearance is only the dashing sex appeal aspect of Charisma; other...

Re: Proto-Star Wars OD&D game
We have a forum now: viewforum.php?f=1550
I'll keep this open for a while longer to see if there is any more interest. Hopefully I'll be able to get everyone added and a character creation thread started this weekend.

Re: Proto-Star Wars OD&D game
they adapted it in a comic mini series a few years ago - VERY different from screen version - a lot changed after Lucas consulted Joseph Campbell called The Star Wars That was a cool adaptation, I thought that was really cool of Dark Horse to make that their last send off project before handing the...

Re: Proto-Star Wars OD&D game
I would be willing to give this a try, if you'd have me. It sounds wildly intriguing to my old-school sensibilities. :D I am in! Looking forward to some very old school fun! Great, so it looks we have three if Dicey is still interested. The draft seems pretty interesting. About 80% of it looks iden...
