Edge of the Empire: Its a saga. An awkward confusing saga.
Hello!
So, as some of you are aware, I, am a massive geek, and the geekiest thing I do is lead 5 people through an adventure of their own imaginations in the Star Wars universe.
Seriously its fun, you should do it. I can help.
This is known as an RPG, and I’m the GM, or Game Master, if you like using whole words. The most popular RPG is Dungeons and Dragons, but this is a star wars version, known as Edge of The Empire. The players control characters and I control the environment, and dice make decisions on anything uncertain which is known as skill checks. So, a bunch of smugglers, bounty hunters, and a droid, are in this particular game. They each have their own elaborate backstory, motivations and obligations that they MUST abide by, and complete the objective of the adventure. If they want to do anything in secret, the players communicate with me over facebook.
I’ve recorded the last 2 sessions, but the first session needs some explanation:
The initial player characters:
Kith – Played by Vicki, a bothan bounty hunter and owner of the ship.
Nate Draan – Played by Dave Luke, a human smuggler
R5-T16 – Played by Ryan, An astromech droid with a few… modifications.
These 3 characters met in the first episode and managed to get a mission from a Twi-lek called Reom to hunt down a lost Seperatist ship from the end of the Clone wars, believed crashed in the outer rim. They were forced to flee the station they got the mission from after some entanglements with other treasure hunters, but did obtain the Droid they needed to find the location of the ship.
Characters introduced:
Chenni – played by Gerard, a Wookie, An angry wookie.
Valo – played by Matt, A Chiss Bounty Hunter.

There’ll be another session soon….
