Is there a dress code for the Imperial mixer? And if so, how does an obvious droid fit in?

would it be hard to get clothes that would be elegant for the upper city? Would I just subtract some credits from my wallet or do I need to make a shopping thread?

Also clothing related: Resplendent Robes seem likely to be appropriate. I'm going to guess that the "draw attention to self and help allies" element there is a bit of pain in the ass to handle in an event like this?

Wearing them regardless, vs picking up new fancy duds. ^^

Reading the event rules just now and I'm not sure I got something correctly - we can roll one or up to all of the skills for part 1, right? So... we get three attempts, but we can only get one attempt per skill (so one Core Worlds, one Outer Rim, one Streetwise)? Or could we try to find three people from the same area if we want to?

Cheers!

One attempt per skill but you can attempt all three skills.

If you succeed multiple you have more "choices/opportunities."

For the most part, the first two work in tandem for the choices that are open to you for the rest of the event. While you'd need to succeed the Underworld to pick one of the Criminal choices.

Do note the third skill is Knowledge: Underworld and not Streetwise!

[I believe that covers everything, don't hesitate to point out if I missed part of the question! :D]

Actually just making my private answer public for posterity.

GM Destiny in the event: We flip it when we chose to apply it?

Answer: Yep.

Putting my stamp on the above!

It'll help save me the nightmare of having to remember to check through it/what's already been accounted for, thank you!

Yea, if anything for the goals here drawing attention away from the others would actually be a detriment!

You can assume you have or have the ability to get at least one nice bit of formal wear.

Formal, naturally.

Beyond that is up to you! Probably not super well but you can still manage to catch an ear potentially.

Assuming whatever it is won't have room for a utility arm, and definitely no weapons?

I'll second the question about weapons. I'm guessing imperial officers get to wear their sidearms, but would civilians be allowed to open carry, concealed carry, or "Just don't, cuz they're gonna scan you before you go in"?

Just noticed I'm confused about something else about the Mixer event:

Part 3 reads: "These checks are made at a difficulty corresponding to 5 - the difficulty dice of the previous difficulty.
If you failed Step 1, this check is always Hard with Two Setbacks."

So... if you failed Step 1 for all three checks (or those you tried at least), you can still choose one of the options here and try at Hard with 2 Setbacks?
But if you fail step 2 you cannot try it - is that it?

Or is this supposed to be "if you Failed step 2 you roll Hard with 2 Setbacks" instead? (So if you fail all checks in Step 1 you get nothing, but if you fail Step 2 for the contact you get in Step 1 you still have a shot, but at Hard with 2 Setbacks?)
