Welcome!

Your Jedi looks cool -- make sure you add a species page later on... If you don't know how, don't hesitate to ask.

PS. Please don't add a signature to your jedi account -- they tend to break up the flow of the conversations as far as I have seen.

I have a question: are you aware that this is a Star Wars themed game?

Personally, I don't like things like Tricorders and Phaser (to stun), as they are clearly not Star Wars but Star Trek themed items. I'm sure that there are some types of items that have the same function but fit better in a Star Wars setting.

I will of course defer to the judgement of admin on these things. As I'm not certain how such things should be handled.


On an unrelated note: your Jedi still has to be approved by admin. Since T'Sal has an unknown race I can't say anything about the amount of attributes or skill points.

Hi,

I have asked the admin about the Star trek items.
There isn't a list with equiment that exist in this world so I went with what I knew.
It is all high tech so I though it would be possibly to mix a few things.
It might be better to give them another name (functions) to make ik more Star wars themed.

I have now made a page for the race. Didn't have the time yesterday.
Admin will check things tonight.

Don't worry too much about the theming, that is all fixable. Getting the theme right is something that adds to the atmosphere, and good atmosphere adds to the roleplaying experience.

By the way, you can pull almost any kind of list from Wookiepedia.

There is no set list of equipment mainly because there is just to much crap in the universe to list it all; and most equipment won't give you a bonus either it's just assumed that you have the tools of your trade with you.

Jedi are too cool for most equipment anyway, they don't need to batman their way through life -- they have the Force :D

Blaster weapons can be set to a variety of intensities, including stun and you even have specialised Stun Blasters. Alternatives might include a stun-baton. Regarding Tricorders, using a 'scanner' would fit very well in the Star Wars setting. That's a minor name change that probably helps alleviate some objections.

The rest of the setting will do a lot to fix stuff. An ignited lightsaber gives a very distinct image to a character even if they also carry a tricorder ^_^

Btw, T'Sal and the Hiocan are approved. We haven't got formal legislation for Minor Worlds in the Union yet, but I'll be fixing that up soon. In the meanwhile, happy roleplaying!

I'm confused.

Slightly off-topic (@admin: split at your own leisure): Weren't minor worlds the worlds that had no economy on intergalactic scale, but still have a vote in the Union? Or am I confusing two types of worlds now, and are minor worlds those that are part of the Union protectorate, but have no further political effects?

This question was prompted by the OP's indication that she wanted to play a Jedi only (in the first post).

This is exactly the reason why things need to be established properly. As I understand it Stuiter wishes to play a Jedi first, but with her own world which may at some point play a role in the Union. Let's give it some time to develop ^_^
