OOC The ABYverse Resource Thread - Now discussing the aftermath of Legacy: War!

Excellent. It's a plot we can pull up later on. I can always assign an old NPC to Emperor Fel, after all.

 

I also have something small in the works, which should come to fruition shortly.

 

I was going to do a role call on that. Thoughts, everyone?

 

I'm at a loss of what to do with 129 ABY. Generally it's gone the same way as 41 ABY. I'm tempted to push 129 ABY for that 'final battle' I've mentioned to you, Sirak , and just leave the plotlines introduced into it for other games to pick up. 41 ABY is/was very close.

I'm thinking that small-scale RPGs are the best thing to do, nowadays. Because I maybe don't have the time/there aren't the players/I've lost the knack/there are too many games or something. So... disheartened, somewhat.

But I intend to throw something out, at some point, but Sith knows what.

 

I don't think it's an issue, myself. Kol needs to be more assertive, no doubt of that. He was too busy to be assertive in 128 ABY, and when he gets back to Coruscant he puts his foot down and sorts everything out. The only reason the Daala mark II situation happened at all, was because Kol was not around. It's not as if Kol handed the galaxy to a trio of mad Triumvr's because of a complicated situation; he was outflanked.

Luke handed the galaxy to Daala, it could be argued.

I think your characterisation is perfect.

 

Sounds good to me!

 

Cool!

Tales from the ABYverse

The ABYverse covers RPGs that run as far back as 200 BBY, referencing games and events as far back as 30,000 BBY, and as far forward as 600 ABY. The continuity is immense. But the sandbox does not make for easy playing. Many games find themselves dipping heavily into the past, be it a few decades earlier, or even a few millennia.

This thread is designed to enable players to knit together offshoot plotlines, dabble in backstories, and maybe even add a few pages to the overall story. The intention is to enable users and posters to go further than the main plotline may allow for, and to even throw together their own direction apart from the larger games such as 128 ABY and 129 ABY, or the more focused stories such as those set in 41 ABY and 133 ABY. If a player wanted to roleplay out a scene between their character and another in 145 ABY, but none of the current games covered that era, or play around with some ancestors set in 188 BBY which they couldn?t include in the main story too well? this is the place for you.

There will be no overall GM of the thread, just co-GMs, running their various sections and games. The thread belongs to the franchise, the body corporate, of which the leading directors could be said to be various ever-changing individuals. The administrator is the Executive Co-GM, which itself has his/her/its headquarters in the resource thread dedicated to the ABYverse.

A few important rules to the Tales thread.

1. The ToS still applies, no matter what.

2. The Executive Co-GM does not control the thread, their role is largely to administrate, and to make sure that issues and plotlines stay distinct. PM them to request an entry into the Tales thread. It is largely down to them as to whether the thread can take anymore weight.

3. An addition to the posting precedent, beyond the IC, TAG and other obvious pieces, is the year of your entry, or, where possible, a story tag. For example, a story/entry entitled ?Death Duel? should be referred to by each of the posters taking part in it, so as to avoid confusion.

4. While this thread will not obvious count towards the Co-GMs total of running games, it is advisable not to overtax yourselves, Co-GMs. The thread is designed to alleviate the desire to take a plot idea and turn it into a short-lived thread which doesn?t have the infrastructure to support it.

5. And most importantly; have fun.

This would be an individual thread, sitting on its lonesome and treated, for all intents and purposes, as the ABYverse game. It is not a replacement for existing games such as 129 ABY or 41 ABY, nor planned games, nor old games. But the 145 ABY episode convinced me that these smaller is better. 100 ABY, at one point, ended up with less than four players in it, which was a real difficulty because the plot had already expanded enough that 20 characters had plenty to do; it struggled to work. But a game designed for four players? That's a different thing altogether...

Thoughts? Issues? I shall be posting up the first thread, but hopefully it will be a concept which some of us will take advantage of.
