Wookie monsters [D5, LE]

Layne was bored. Today had been fairly exhausting, mentally more so than physically. She needed something to unwind with. Her mind wandered as she thought of something to do, then she remembered the weird email that Captain Alderaan had sent her. She'd only skimmed the book he'd attached. It was some sort of game? It was bizarre, even more so because it seemed so out of character for the guy. And she could've sworn she saw a rather lengthy chapter on wookie mating rituals in there. And maybe specific rules for it too.

"Fuck it..."

She loaded a ship terminal into the local holonet, and started searching channels for anything to do with this game. Maybe other people were already playing it.

♥Stab: Anyonez hear about this Wookie game? I think it's a game where you play roles? Is there a game on?

Jax was laying on his bed on the Midnight surfing the holonet trying to relax a bit after the craziness of the mission earlier. He planned on visiting Lelia in medical but until then he figured he would see if anything interesting was going. He too thought about that odd e-mail that came from someone pretending to be Niall. It was a good prank and Jax appreciated it but now he was curious about checking it out to kill time if nothing else. He saw someone asking about the game and gave them a reply

2Fly: I don't know much about it but I've seen the rulebook and stuff. Never played might be interested.

While winding down in the evening, Niall had kinda-sorta been keeping an eye on the chat. And, seeing someone in need, he was all too willing to help.

TheRealCA: Always is. Check it out here:


A link was helpfully provided

TheRealCA: do you already have a character?

♥Stab: I'm thinking I could play a Wookie doctor maybe. I don't know. I was wondering if there was like an actual game already running, or if the captain was going to start one.


And then came the reply, or it may have come first and she missed it.

♥Stab: Oh. Have they been playing long? I don't know, isn't it better to start off at the beginning?

Niall sighed. This was a strange way to spend the evening. But, having helped once, he felt an obligation to be more helpful...

TheRealCA: You can do both. There's an overarching plot, and then smaller ones happening all the time
TheRealCA: Maybe you can find one just starting up
TheRealCA: I don't know, I'm pretty new, too

♥Stab: That CA wouldn't happen to stand for Captain Alderaan would it? I thought he was the one who wanted to start one up.

Niall cleared his throat, glad that the person he was chatting with couldn't see him reddening.

TheRealCA: It's just a username


Damnit, why was it so hard to lie even when typing?

TheRealCA: Anyway, if you're interested, check it out. It uses the standard Rrakktor and Kashyyyk system

It was time.

Not time for the important thing. That would come later.

It had read the book file. It knew anonymity was a thing. Just not how to do it properly.

Unity: Online.

A new person joined the fray

Mekkalekku: Someone is making a game? What expansions are allowed?

Vitamin-D: So what if I don't like wookiees, can I be like... anything but a wookiee? You know what scratch that I want to be a sexy wookiee, I want maximum sexy scores.

Unity: Unity has perused the rulebook and found most effective way to construct a combat wookiee.

♥Stab: I don't know, it all seems a bit daunting. I only got this book like yesterday. I don't really know all the rules yet. Running with veterans seems intimidating. Maybe someone here could run a starter game?

Well, if Commander Malcolm thought this chat room might be relevant to operational security, Tethys should probably check it out. Intelligence gathering isn't her area of expertise, but how hard can it be to simply observe?

She's already skimmed the 'rule book' carefully from end to end, with some perplexity at parts. So it's something like an especially complicated variant of Dejarik? But you also have to write a sort of holodrama script to go with it? And... everyone is a Wookiee? So she'll need a Wookiee name... lucky thing she took that Shyriiwook intensive a few years ago.

Well, it's worth a look, at least. Though after lurking for a while, her confusion hasn't really abated.

Graawwar: This is the Wookiee server, isn't it?
Graawwar: The rule book describes the Chieftain and Sub-Chieftain ranks, but there is no rule for 'Captains'.
Graawwar: ??

Vitamin-D: Starter game? I came here for serious role play, already started my novel of a background. Sexy-baca is going to be lit.

Unity: Specialising in Bowcaster at level one is mandatory for continued survival and effectiveness in combat.

♥Stab: Sexy-baca? So... that section on mating stuff is like... relevant?

Expansions? Jeez this thing went deep.

2Fly: Uhh I have only glanced at the rulebook a little bit but I guess like a wookie brawler would be really cool. Dont really know where to start with it though. :?

Blast. From his limited experience observing, there were usually experienced people online to give guidance. But it seemed like they were all gone.

He'd perused the rulebook, back when he thought it contained intelligence information. Niall sighed.

TheRealCA: Fine, okay. I'll run the introductory adventure. Base book only
TheRealCA: Does everyone have a character made? If not, you can use one of the premades


He ignored the bit about the non-wookiee, or sexy wookiee.

Unity: The premade characters are not built optimally.

♥Stab: I have a Wookie doctor, but he's not really a doctor he just like punches people lol. And maybe plays doctor if that section is used. Don't know if the math checks out though.

Jax raised an eyebrow this vitamin-D guy was interesting Jax wondered how serious he was or if he was just trolling.

2Fly: I have a build for a brawler don't know how well he'll do with all the bowcasters and blasters about but that's half the fun!

Unity: Send the file to Unity. Can check maths in a nanosecond.

"Unity" got a file sent over that probably had a few minor mistakes on it, and had a very bare bones amount of fluff to it. It did not have a name yet.

♥Stab: What's the premise of the started game?

Niall's lips quirked. He was pretty sure he could figure out who Unity was.

TheRealCA: Unity, can you check the math on all the sheets, and then send them to me?
TheRealCA: Once that's done, we can see about getting started
TheRealCA: The game is set on Kashyyyk, you will all be members of the Grrobahrr clan. Or at least very good friends, if you want to belong to one of the other allied clans
