SWC SWC Jedi Draft/Starfighter Draft plans! This Is Happening!

I'm good with that. If someone has a great argument for mixing light and dark, I say let them.

I'm also curious the other mechanic/wrinkle you want to suggest, add I've got one as well.

 

Depa Billaba, Foul Moudama, Nahdar Vebb, Roron Corobb, Saesee Tiin, Tsui Choi, Voolvif Monn and Zett Jukassa aren't in the pick 2 for the light side, but all of the other PT Jedi are, except for a few really good ones.

I'm loving the pick 2 lists. That dark side one could make some great teams.

 

i'd say make it just a straight pick 2 list, that if you want to do something silly you can. just my personal opinion. and i like the only winners make it through things as well.

 

Good heavens, man! You've left Kyp Durron off the list! I know I ragged on him a bit, but he doesn't deserve that.

 

I know they're pretty new, but maybe we should put Kanan Jarrus and The Inquisitor on the list.

Evil.

 

what do we really know about them at this point?

 

Nothing. The only feat they have is fighting each other. But it could be a good risk for someone to take if they chose them, as they their feats could get really impressive as the show goes on. I know there's a rule about not using any feats that characters have after the draft starts, but you could make an exception for those two.

 

since we have no idea about relative power levels... i'd lean towards no right now.

 

I think those two are late rounders at best anyway. Wasn't Kanan just a Padawan? The Inquisitor might be better since he was a "Jedi Hunter," but I agree we need to see more.

 

Ah yes. So, I've been thinking about locations and the idea of home field advantage. My thought was:

Each GM can draft a "home field" location with a single character (or pair) with the following guidelines:

Location must be selected when character(s) is drafted.
Max one character with an attached location per GM/team (I.e. you cannot trade for a second character with an attached location).
Commish must approve all locations, and any add/drop involving locations.
No location can be drafted twice.
Each round still has an announced location. This location is used in the following situations: neither character has an attached location, both characters have an attached location, all team battles. A trump is allowed home field advantage.

Benefit to this? Certain characters could become MUCH more variable, and could be drafted much earlier. It changes some arguments, and gives the veteran GM a new strategy to play with.

 

I think we already have more than enough variables to deal with.

 

i disagree. it's become rather stale overall at this point hasn't it? i mean... if we could come up with something like that for the starfighter draft, that'd be really, really nice. i'd be very for having the "home field" advantage thing.

 

well, i'm not saying that kind of thing would really work in the SFD, just that it needs SOMETHING to spice it up again.

personally i'm of the opinion that none of those changes is really huge enough to really make it very confusing or anything. they're all pretty clear to me.

 

I think the SFD just needs a new crop of pilots spice things up, like incorporating pilots from different universes.

As for the location idea, I love it. This could drastically benefit characters who thrive in different environments. Like putting Kit Fisto underwater, or putting Plo Koon in an atmosphere he doesn't need the breathing devices in.

Evil.

 

or kar vastor in the haruun kal jungle?

 

Exactly.

But what happens when two environments clash?


Evil.

 

So, I do understand the concern that it would simply be to many changes for a single draft. But, as pointed out, Plo Koon would not completely freaking suck.

I also think it's a change better suited to comic books, but has plenty of use here, too.

 

i suppose i could always judge again.

 

I think that a Jedi and a Sith could take advantage of any Force rich environment, like a Force nexus for example. The only real advantage we're talking about would be in the physical environment. Say, a person having already fought there? I'm not a fan of the home field idea It doesn't add that much. If it makes a low rounder a more powerful pick than a mid rounder that's obviously better, than I think we're screwing with this too much.
