alright. thanks for saving me from a mistake.

Perfect...

Would continuously dodging attack after attack be god modding or power housing? I just need to clear that up.

[Nikose Tyris]

the terms are pretty much interchangable... powerhousing, your stronger than you shuold be, but occasionally you can get hit and you acknolwedge some things are stronger than you. GodModding, you are the ultimate example of life, and can destroy anything you encounter by looking at it balefully.

I would say NEVER landing a hit would be Godmodding.

Ok well i have my own opinion on this(and yes im sure lots will disagree). But actually PMing people to join an rp i see as inishative. and well its a heck of alot faster way for people to know about your current/upcomming rp and it save space if not needing to make an actual sign up thread. for then people can just PM you back and say yes, no, or im thinking about it and might join up at some time. I actually have always appreceated someone thinking enouigh of me to PM me about their up comming rp.

I do not think this is an act of desperation unless you take your time to PM every single person that rps on the member list thats just a waste of time and thought power. But email those select indaviduals that you think might add to your rp is smart thinking.


As for the godmod thing yep dogging attacks continuasly is definatly a good example. also if you "hit" the other person with out allowing them to actually try and doge attack would be cnsidered god modding.

of course there is a very fine line in the whole always dodge and always hits senario. eg someone is rping really bad and say always making long distance attacks could possibly always be dodgable. same for if you are about to hit a person and your always 3 inches away from the other chara unless its an act of God there is almost no way you would be able to dodge an attack.

But as nikose said as a general rule you cannot and should not doge all the time one needs to take a hit every now and then(even the most veteran rpers).

Danath: to the former, I hate you. so very, very much. to the latter, that's a good set of points.

I was wondering about the star wars roleplaying game. If you want to play a campaign four thousand years before the battle of yavin, what differences would there be. I have already decided that laser cannons will only deal d6 damage, and that pulse cannons will deal d8 damage. I also will restrict the species ewok, gammorean, noghri, and gungan.

[Dante]

That's mostly up to you, honestly. You could make blaster weapons bigger, more expensive and/or do less damage. Make slugthrowers more common, perhaps. Racial restriction is a good idea too.

You might want to look into some of the events surrounding one Exar Kun, since his story takes place around the same time. Lightsabers were definitely around then, at least.

I've practically memorized the srory of Exar Kun, Ulic Qel Droma, and Nomi Sunrider, as well as the redemption of Ulic after he turns to the dark side. I've also read about the events on that one planet that I can't remember. The whole thing where the sith regroup and fight an army of light. So I'd say I'm fairly up to date.
