The Pitch
Some of you may be familiar, way back in 2007, a fellow by the name of @Horseshoe started a Star Wars game (here) using the d20 Saga rules that were fresh and shiny at the time. It was one of the best games I've ever had the honor of participating in and I still think about the unexpected and crazy direction that game went in. Sadly the story never got finished.
I share the backstory only because I'd like to use Fantasy Flight's wonderful new game to launch a new campaign, an homage to some of the best gaming I've ever done. I've been playing F&D at the table, I've done my homework, and I'm confident I can run an exciting campaign that we will all be enjoying for awhile.
What I'm looking for are two (yes, only two for now) players who are willing to take on the role of a Jedi Master and their first Padawan learner on the verge of knighthood. The Clone Wars are fresh upon the galaxy and the Jedi are still coming to grips with their roles as generals over peacekeepers.
Mechanical Bits
Because the default assumption is that Force & Destiny characters are trying to avoid detection by the Empire and training is scattered and play-it-by-ear there will be some tweaks to character generation. Each character will be made differently; here are the changes in brief:
Jedi Master - One additional free rank in Negotiation or Charm, Education, Discipline, and your choice of a Knowledge (Outer Rim, Core Worlds, Lore) after choosing career. 180 bonus xp (cannot be spent on characteristics). One free additional specialization awarded from any Force & Destiny career. Three Force Power unlocks chosen between Enhance, Foresee, Influence, Misdirect, Move, Seek and Sense. You will, of course, be starting with a basic Lightsaber with the opportunity for upgrading later.
Jedi Apprentice - One additional free rank in Education. You may also choose two of your Master's career skills; they are career skills for you. 150 bonus xp. Two Force Power unlocks chosen between Enhance, Foresee, Influence, Misdirect, Move, Seek and Sense. You gain the benefit of the Mentor discount, meaning any basic Force Powers you learn down the road are 5 xp cheaper. You will also be starting with a basic Lightsaber.
** Morality **
These options will be ignored at character generation. The Jedi Knights have no need for money and Morality will change and grow in play based on our actions, and I've already baked in a lot of "free" xp into my alterations above. That said, you're welcome to start +/- 10 Morality at character generation (or anywhere within that range) to represent the fact that you've been on some adventures already. Even better if you can come up with some background on what made you lose/gain Morality.
There are no hard-and-fast rules other than those above to how you go about generating your characters, only to keep in mind that you're a teacher-student pair who've been together for a bit of time. The only other recommendation I'd make is if you want to use the Force on a regular basis, +1 Force Rating is a good place to aim.
With all that out of the way, I open recruitment. I don't have a hard and fast rule on when I'll be closing recruitment for the game; I would hold off on making a character until we actually confirm who's playing since there needs to be a little collaboration between our two heroes.

Also I dunno if @Fuselage would be down
What is your bidding, Master?
(It's a PbP so it shouldn't be too hard to keep up with, and I can get my hands on the rules. We have a lively community around here.)
Can our characters be brothers? As the older, I, of course, would be the Master, imparting my wisdom to my younger brother @Fuselage
I'll never forgive you for that ice you threw at my face, you monster!
That's what drove me to being a Grey Jedi.
Ok....not!
My gut instinct is Starfighter Ace, but if we're mostly going to be on foot then I might go Consular
I hadn't noticed that part.
So we'll be fighting in the Clone Wars?
I'm just saying, it's got room for two!
edit: Would you have a time in the evening to get on vent or something with @Fuselage and me (or just me if his kids are being kids) to hash out character stuff?
I also use OG dudes characterr creator and have copied all of the talents into the files, so if you use that I can give you my copy of the files. I own all the books and have uh.... well, lets just say you should pm me for the rest of that conversation.
Glad you're rebooting this format.
i'll keep a session open though
@ArcanisTheImpotent Jensen Mornay doesn't have an Astrogation skill?
While we wait, @belligerent care to regale us with some stories from your games?
I like to imagine that we flew out looking for ship wrecks to salvage/recover. My guy would pilot and seek the wrecks, and @Fuselage would use his computer skills and mechanic skills to fix it up and determine if it was an accident or intentional. If intentional we'd go bust some heads, in a non-Sith way.
