Played yesterday, used my updated encounters in space spreadsheet. Game went well. "Slaver's Chains" is complete and the Rebellion has a new CR-90 on Entooine.

As with tradition, we ran a game last Saturday which is when we typically play, the third Saturday of the month. The game went extremely well. The new player decided to take some initiative and capture a native droid from the planet Quockra-4 in the Minos cluster. Naturally she got the party into trouble. The party got her out of trouble. I was most pleased to see the new player taking such initiative. She enjoyed herself and so did the party. I think she’s going to work out after all. Back to work. I am presently reading the Han Solo Adventures again, looking for some good ideas. Brian Charles Daley never disappoints.

Every Sunday is Star Wars D6 at my place. I am the GM. My group was doing DnD but then a break up happened in the group, so there was a desire to change the setting.

My girlfriend told the group "Here is how we pitch it to Dare, say we want to play Star Wars" And I instantly switched. Playing 11 ABY, most legends inspired, and a campaign setting I always idly work on throughout the years.

Lots of the people in my group were even new to Dnd, but when we switched over they really seem to love the system. It seemed a little overwhelming to them at first, but once they started playing they realized the basics are very simple. Roll D6s, add them up. They also really like that you can tailor your character to really any of your desire. That there aren't levels and you have a lot of agency over what your character can do or is good at.

We have

An Ewok, that is Force Sensitive and a Scout/Doctor
A Duros Ace Pilot and Captain of their ship.
A Zeltron, that is force sensitive, the face of the group, and has connections to the New Republic
An Echani, that is also force sensitive, was homeless, and just snuck onto their ship and so they took him in.
Then Finally a Jawa, that haha is also force sensitive, and the go to Tech guru.

In the realm of
"Don't put it on the map, if you don't want the players to go there..."

Yeah - me the GM, for several sessions;
"all clues lead to this location"

Players - "hey, what is over there - lets go check that out..."

GM: Sigh.... figures out a way to believable move information and NPCs to new location....

Players gonna do, what players gonna do...

(at least we had a lot of fun roleplaying some unexpected encounters and they eventually got the information they needed.....but yeah).

My campaign will wrap up this Saturday. We're taking a break for the summer and not sure if we'll pick it up afterwards. I know I'm losing another player so if we do continue, we're down to 3 players.

I'm currently running one, but scheduling is hard. We're doing it once a month, and even then we've had to skip April entirely, and we're not able to get everyone together again until the last weekend of May.

Scheduling is rough.

I have run two games in the past year or so. One imploded for about 10 months because two out of the four players have kids and they're getting to that age where the parents are crazy busy with them. One of the two is back now and the other has committed to playing out the endgame of his character's arc, though.

The other one was pretty consistent: we had a group of about 8 players, and I set a requirement for needing at least 3 to play, so we often play with 3-5. Even then, it was usually once a month, and occasionally twice.

I just got diagnosed a few weeks ago with major depressive disorder and I've been dealing with that, which has derailed both, but we're hoping to restart once I'm in a better place.
