Death Troopers

DarthTractus — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 04:38:44 GMT

Hey, Ok. I just finished reading the "Death Troopers" book. If you want to read a Star Wars book, with an added twist that you'd never expect in Star Wars, as well as bone chilling suspense and creepiness, read this book, or better yet, listen to the Audiobook of it. I listened to the Audiobook. It adds a much larger amount of horror to the book with the sounds and everything else it uses. Everything from unique dialogue voices for individual characters, Star Wars music to ...

Couple of Suggestions

The Lich King — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 08:49:42 GMT

1) Something similar to this: In Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, the player can find a Rakatan Band which has a description that reads: "This simple device improves the wearer's ability to perceive the reality of their surroundings. The origin behind the item's name is unknown, but rumor has it that these bands were constructed as a defense against an ancient species of alien deceivers, who made absurd claims of dominance concerning their role in the galaxy. ...

Story Behind the Ghost Ship

DarthTractus — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 09:11:29 GMT

Holy crap! O.O I think I found the story behind the ghost ship. EIther it's a massive coincidence, or this book is the story behind it! If it is, shouldn't it be a Star Destroyer and not a small frigate? lol. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Death_Troopers Then again...it must be a coincidence! This book was only released on Oct 13! O.O That...is one awesome coincidence!

Logic errors?

RP generator?

Vella — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 03:00:11 GMT

Just a thought, and I know there are more ideas than just this bumping around out there.. if its possible a mess hall/conference room at the Yavin 4 station would be a good gathering spot/RP generator.

The MetaGame Problem

TheGunman — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 20:56:10 GMT

Alright, hello everyone. I would just like to start off with saying as I joined the server I pressed into my journal and read the rules, and I read down and I see, there is to be no metagaming of ANY kind. And yet, as I watch the players in the server, I begin to find an extreme amount of metagaming. Now as I see it the holo-transmitters were an AMAZING form of just having to go along with random encounters. 1) USE IT 2) If you can't use it and you are DEAD, really, please don't start sending ...

Invisible Cloaks

Baby-Blue-Eyes — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 07:44:42 GMT

I dont remember if this was posted elsewhere or not, if so my apologies. Until the tailoring models are made to craft design cloaks (provided its a planned addition) You can use a speeder or whatnot to make your cloak invisible. Mount it and then dismount, the cloak should then be invisible.

Your starting planet and you.

Alright, look, I really, really hate to do this guys, but frankly someone has to say it. We need a new set of DM's. Why, you say? Lemme' level with ya': One half blatantly favours the imperials, the other half blatantly favour the Rebels. This leads to conflict and bitching. The DM's are hardly ever around, and when they do come along, only certain groups seem to actualy get any attention at all, I find this pretty counter productive. This server is great, you guys've ...

How we can help.

NightShadow — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 17:34:02 GMT

Right now the server appears to be having a bit of a downtime. Not as many players are on as I remember. However, we needn't wait for the DM's to start playing, we can create the plots and events just through our own creativity. So, while we wait for old DM's to come back and new DM's to be selected, let's think of some plotlines. Everyone, what I ask of you is that you create new factions, subfactions, plotlines, events, etc. to bring in new players, bring back old players, and bring on a whole ...

Just something that i thought would be common courtisey but it seems i'll have to bring up. Don't bring up topics from before the last time the server had a break when it was accompanied by a flame war. My mood has been utterly destroyed today because of it, so please don't do it again. I was almost thinking i could go for a week without one of these annoying disputes but i was mistaken. So, veterans, Don't bring these things up, especially with people on the opposing side of the PvP ...

A couple of suggestions regarding these forums

NightShadow — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 10:59:26 GMT

A few suggestions which I think would make things go much more smoothly and make these forums much more organized. A subforum under the roleplay forum has Roleplay Discussion. This would be used to give people tips on how to roleplay, and things such as the 'Philosophies of Evil' and 'Roleplaying low stats and alignment' threads could be put here. This works very well on the Ravenloft server, and over there was an excellent source of info for players new to RP. A suggestion forum, where ...

Hooray for Irony!

AurumRosario — Sat, 19 Sep 2009 14:12:07 GMT

Yes, kinda Ironic that I've noticed. We all love our PvP encounters and everyone likes to win and more often then not we get these little corpse kicking emotes xD.

Wow, lots of corpse Kicking Lawful Nuetral people out there, lol
[Edit: ~points at the Teras Kasi duelists~ ]

Discuss it now. I just think it's hilarious xD

Best weapon: Pistol, Dual Pistol, Blaster rifle

velensnowdrop — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 05:45:06 GMT

Ok, people in the server have directed me to the blaster rifle, but it uses a handgun animation that looks awfull. :S

So I was wondering if people could rate each of the three 'types' of gun on the server in terms of what they think of them style wise, useability wise and effectiveness wise.

Or even better, tell me how to get the blaster rifle using rifle animations!

This is for a Twi'lek Scout that'll probably be going Scout/Scoundrel...

Various Suggestions dealing with Space

NightShadow — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 06:33:42 GMT

Hello, first of all, I ask that we keep things civil, feel free to disagree, but please, constructive criticism, not jackassery. I've noticed many things which I personally find (I don't know about everyone else's opinions on this) ruins the RP potential of space. Whenever a rebel sees me, he goes into hyperspace or docks on a planet, this is especially frustrating because my character is a pilot, not so much an infantry. I am not saying to remove hyperspace, however, I am saying that it ...

An LV within an SV?

Worship Cthulhu — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 01:38:21 GMT

I'm sure this idea will get shot down by you SV lovers, but what if: All characters start at lvl 30, which elminates: 1. Grinding, freeing up time for more RP. 2. Low lvls being unable to participate in events(cause they die so quick). Of course lvl 30 gear going along with this would be great, but I think I've pushed it far enough with the starting at lvl 30. If you are going to post against this, please give reasons instead of just saying "that's retarded" or ...

This really didn't apply anywhere but here, so I'm hoping to garner some advice from the rest of the server. I'm currently dorming with my two best friends from college. We have the sweet, sweet arrangement of paying the usual price for dorms but with a bathroom that we are to keep clean or be penalized over. (All other dorms lack this bathroom!) However, the money-grubbing college has decided to give us a fourth roommate in a very cramped space. The funny thing is? We were given until ...

Okay peeps, here is the way i play Pazaak on NWN: The Opening stage includes drawing your "hand": Firstly, name 5 cards you want to be your "hand". These can range from -6 to +6, and you can have Double Cards, like +-2. Once you have chosen five of these cards, they become your hand. Now, the Rounds begin: Each Round, the players roll 1d8 to determine what Yellow Card they get. Now, with each Player recording their number, they both take turns to ...
