New & Nervous!

[FluxFun]

Hello,

It's been a while since I've done any sort of roleplaying, and binge-watching the last six Star Wars movies (or three if you're a purist, I guess?) has inspired some spacey writing in me. So here I am blabbering while stumbling about this new gem that popped up at the top of the google search for Star Wars Roleplaying!

Sorry if I'm mildly incoherent, I'm all jittery n' stuff. Hi! :eek:

Edit: Found the edit button.

It's also 4 am. I couldn't find the edit button.

Welcome to the site.

I just joined recently after reading a star wars novel my hubby had stored away in the closet. I've been having the itch to write something and after reading that book I went right to google and found this place the same way you did!

Let me know if you have any questions where to start!

 

[FluxFun]

Thanks for the welcome!

I think I've figured out the basics; where the rules are and I'm gonna start reading the lore after a nap n' some house cleaning (apartment desperately needs it).

Hey ho and welcome to SWRP, FLuxFun.

If you already found the post to rule all the posting, there's not much you can do wrong.

Any questions left you can drop here, there usually is a quick answer ;)

I do have a question! Is the lore up to date? Or do I need to dig around outside of the timeline for me cool things?

Welcome to the site. The lore is complicated at the moment, I'm curious about it myself.

 

[Taruna]

Not sure myself right now, but as I understood, despite being out of the loop right now is that the Rebellion and Jedi are right now on the counter offensive. I am sure, there is someone who is more up to date.. @Ral Aran

 

[FluxFun]

The lore doesn't appear to be up to date I'm guessing? I must be missing something. I HAZ A LOT OF READING TO DO!

Well apparently things can happen independently on the lore. I assume (remember, I joined VERY recently and am basing my opinion only on what I heard) there's some sort of plot line that is reset whenever it's done? I heard something implying that. Hell, I don't understand much of it.

The basic lore of this site started at about 1,000 years after the last movie. From there a lot of things have happened, mainly that the Sith are taking everything over and the New Jedi Order is scattered but present, as is the Rebellion. This Link is the main storyline thus far.

However, it has been said that sometime in December or January the admin of the site are going to completely overhaul the entire storyline and start it all over with brand new characters. Their reason for this is to make everything canon, that is based on what LucasArts deems to be true about the Star Wars timelines and lore. This Link will take you to a thread where this reset of the timeline is being discussed.

It's all a little confusing at first, but after a little reading it all makes sense!
