The Cast

And away we go...

I've been writing pretty steadily over the last few weeks getting ready for my Edge of the Empire Campaign. I'm really excited about running and cannot wait. The title of the campaign is A Dark Black Past (DBP). Yes, Megadeth came across Pandora and I used a bit of lyrics, but it is makes for a perfect title for this campaign. The first episode titled Simple Posession and as the title suggests the episode revolves around... wait I can't exactly say just yet as I have some players that will read this.

I have about 9 people that want to play but based on past experience that is too many. I once ran a Star Wars RCR game that had 12 or 13 people and it was a nightmare. If I remember correctly they were trying to take command/control of a Star Destroyer and one combat lasted 4 hours. Needless to say that the campaign only lasted one session and was never brought back up. I'm really surprised that my players ever wanted me to GM again.

GM Holocron

Today, or yesterday rather, I've started my GM Holocron. I would like to thank GMChris and GMDave for this fabulous idea. They presented the GM Holocron on their d20radio Order 66 podcast. This idea will prove to be very very valuable in my future GM plans.

While they have a community GM Holocron, I've decided to do my own instead. I am having issues creating stuff on theirs. If one day I gain the right permissions to add pages, I'll contribute a lot of content.

Basically, a GM Holocron is a stockpile of resources designed to make the arduous task of planning and setup of a session easier. The GM Holocron is a document/folder/ file system that will contain lists of NPC's, equipment, adventures, images, ships, and encounters (called set pieces). I would normally have just used InDesign or Publisher,  but I have recently found Evernote which is perfect for what I want to do.
