House rules:

For combat: Initiative only counts for the first round of combat to determine who acts before the NPCs. After that, players and NPCs will alternate turns. Everyone has 24 hrs to post after I make my post, and players can post in any order. If you can't post, I'll move for you (you can let me know basically what you want to do), or you can designate someone to take your turn for you. This way, we don't get bogged down waiting for one person to act. You move your own piece on the battle map.

Vital transfer cannot heal damage caused by vital transfer. Any other healing options still work, including force trance.

You get an attack as part of the fighting defensively standard action.

Tie advanced have 4 laser cannons. All other stats remain the same.

Fractional BAB is in effect.

Destiny Points are not in use.

Player killing is allowed on a case by case basis - all current players (not just those involved in the PK) must agree in each case.

Dark side characters do not become npcs. There is no maximum number of dark side points you can accumulate, though there are ig responses to racking up an exceedingly high score.

Dropping a held item is a free action, not swift.

Drain energy only works on unattended objects.
Using Combat Expertise at -2 or more counts as fighting defensively.

Healing options:

Spoiler

Show

If you're really injured, you can use second wind to heal 1/4 of your hps 1/day, even when you're out of combat.

If you can find someone to give you long-term care for 8 hours, you can recover another 1x your level every day (that's an automatic 2x your level every day). They don't even need to be trained in treat injury.

If someone is trained in treat injury and has a surgery kit, they can hit a DC 20 treat injury check in an hour to heal you (con modifier x level), but failing does damage threshold, so get a few people together so they can aid the surgeon until you get up in levels. As far as I know, this is unlimited use. If someone takes the Surgical Expertise feat, they can do it every 10 minutes.

Also, this is where a force user (or two) could come in handy, since they can use vital transfer to heal others of damage, and force trance to heal themselves (level per hour).

This doesn't count equipment you can use to heal yourself (like medical droids). It might be a good idea to invest in keeping yourselves patched up. A standard 2-1B medical droid costs 4,515 (with license) and has +13 treat injury, cybernetic surgery, and surgical expertise. That equals an automatic (con modifier x level) every 10 minutes.

Original Big 16:

Show

Level 1-5: Starting near the end of the clone wars, the players are relatively new recruits when order 66 happens and the republic becomes the Empire. They are then sent to pacify some hold out systems and deal with the last remnants of the separatist resistance.
Level 6-11
As the Empire consolidates power, they are reassigned to vice-admiral thrawn’s task force and sent to extend the empire’s control of the unknown territories, by exploring and then either unifying or subduing the various competing civilizations there, either by alliance, subterfuge, coercion, or outright military conquest.
Level 12+
After carving an empire out of the the unknown regions, the task force receives word the empire has fallen, and grand admiral thrawn returns to unify the imperial remnants and put the rebels down once and for all. The players decide where their loyalties lie.

Anyone interested?

Edit: That's enough interest, let's get this show on the road. Character submission is now open, new applicants welcome.

Big 16:

1. What game system are you running (D&D, Call of Cthulu, Palladium, GURPS, etc.), and if applicable what edition (Original, Classic, Revised, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 10th, etc.)?
Star Wars Saga Edition. The game starts towards the end of the Clone Wars.

2. What 'type' or variant of game will it be (i.e. "Shadow Chasers" or "Agents of Psi" for d20 Modern)? What is the setting for the game (eg. historic period, published or homebrewed campaign setting, alternate reality, modern world, etc.)? See above.

3. How many Players are you looking for? Will you be taking alternates, and if so, how many?
4-5 players, with room for alternates.

4. What's the gaming medium (OOTS, chat, e-mail etc.)?
These Forums, Play by Post. Mythweavers for character sheets. I might use discord to answer questions faster.

5. What is the characters' starting status (i.e. experience level)?
Level 1. We will not use XP, instead advancing as the story progresses.

6. How much gold or other starting funds will the characters begin with?
Per RAW. License costs for starting equipment are paid by the Republic, anything after that uses the standard rules for acquiring licenses or purchasing on the black market. At chargen, stick to military grade or less (no illegal items).

7. Are there any particular character classes, professions, orders, etc. that you want... or do not want? What are your rules on 'prestige' and/or homebrewed classes?
All source Classes are open. No home brew.

8. What races, subraces, species, etc. are allowed for your game? Will you allow homebrewed races or species? 'Prestige' races or species?
All races are allowed, including droids and clones. No homebrew.

9. By what method should Players generate their attributes/ability scores and Hit Points?
Standard 25-point buy. There will be (very rare, very valuable) opportunities to permanently add extra ability points during the game, over and above what is gained through advancement.

10. Does your game use alignment? What are your restrictions, if so?
Dark Side points will be assigned for heinous acts, and Force Sensitive characters are held to a higher standard (i.e. using the Force to directly injure a living non-hostile creature). You will not lose your character for turning to the Dark Side, though you may attract unwanted attention.

11. Do you allow multi-classing, or have any particular rules in regards to it?
Yes.

12. Will you be doing all of the die rolling during the course of the game? Will die rolls be altered, or left to the honor system? If players can make die rolls, which ones do they make, how should they make the rolls, and how should they report them?
Players roll their own rolls (in spoilers), I roll my own rolls. I may also roll passive checks like perception or checks where the outcome is unknown (like checking for booby traps) in secret.

13. Are there any homebrewed or optional/variant rules that your Players should know about? If so, list and explain them, or provide relevant links to learn about these new rules.
For combat: Initiative only counts for the first round of combat to determine who acts before the NPCs. After that, players and NPCs will alternate turns. Everyone has 24 hrs to post after I make my post, and players can post in any order. If you can't post, I'll move for you (you can let me know basically what you want to do), or you can designate someone to take your turn for you. This way, we don't get bogged down waiting for one person to act. I'll try to keep to 1 round / day rate, but my schedule varies.
Vital transfer cannot heal damage caused by vital transfer. Any other healing options still work, including force trance.
You get an attack as part of the fighting defensively standard action.
Tie advanced have 4 laser cannons. All other stats remain the same.
Fractional BAB is in effect.
Destiny Points are not in use, backgrounds from the rebellion era handbook are optional.
Player killing is allowed on a case-by-case basis - all current players (not just those involved in the PK) must agree in each case.
Dark side characters do not become npcs. There is no maximum number of dark side points you can accumulate, though there are ig responses to racking up an exceedingly high score.
Dropping a held item is a free action, not swift.
Drain energy only works on unattended objects.

14. Is a character background required? If so, how big? Are you looking for anything in particular (i.e. the backgrounds all ending up with the characters in the same city)?
Use the 5-step character background:

Step 1: Write 5 background and concept elements that you feel are important to your image of the character. These can be a concept overview, a list of important life events, a physical description, a personality profile...whatever you need to get an image in your mind. 5 is just a minimum...more elements are encouraged!
Step 2: List at least two goals for the character. At least one of these goals should be one that the character has, while another should be one that you, as a player, want to see developed over the course of the game.
Step 3: List at least two secrets about your character. One is a secret the character knows, one is a secret that involves him but that he is not actually aware of yet. This will help me in creating plots that center around your character. I will also be creating a third secret which you as a player will not be aware of, so expect some surprises!
Step 4: Describe at least three people that are tied to the character. Two of them are friendly to the character, one is hostile. If you like, you can include an enemy of yours here as well, so I have an instant NPC nemesis to throw at you.
Step 5: Describe three memories, mannerisms, or quirks that your character has. They don't have to be elaborate, but they should provide some context and flavor.

15. Does your game involve a lot of hack & slash, puzzle solving, roleplaying, or a combination of the above?
Combination, but the most important aspect are player decisions. You can make bad decisions and get yourself or members of your squad killed or fail your mission and have repercussions for the next stage of the campaign. You can make good decisions and earn the favor of npc's or make encounters easier or avoid them altogether, or you can take extra risks to try and earn extra rewards / accolades.

16. Are your Players restricted to particular rulebooks and supplements, or will you be allowing access to non-standard material? What sources can Players use for their characters?
All rule books are open. Please try to keep to the time period we are playing in. If you want anything wacky from KOTOR or Legacy Era please highlight it.
