Re: GM Questions
Am I correct from reading the timeline here that Kamda was 9 BBY, and this game is 8 BBY?

Re: GM Questions
Questions that are slightly personal to Korvin, but nothing terribly sensitive and answers might be useful to some other characters:
1. I'm assuming that Korvin's parents have essentially a townhouse-style place that's nice for the Middle City, but hardly "fancy" or up to how the "rich" people are living in the Upper City high-rises and such. Is that consistent with the socio-economics of the city?
2. Is there any kind of standard or example of how neighborhoods are named in Capitol City? I'd like to be able to say things like "My parents place is nice for the Middle City -- I mean, it is in ___ -- but it's nothing real special." And to be able to say "Yeah, I live in ___, so it's not far from here." Any thoughts/suggestions/guidelines?
3. Petra said that racing involves "hanging around with money," and I have the impression that there's definitely more to the racing scene than street races. Does that mean there's like a racing track or stadium in town somewhere, or just a place that's known to be where the racers and their attendant gamblers all meet at regular times?
Thanks so much!

Re: GM Questions
1.) You don't need to be living in a high rise to live in the upper city, but it is the more/most affluent area which seems to match best with what you've been aiming for with the Hikkarin family on my read.
2.) Unfortunately not, go with whatever feels best.
3.) That was more about the Hikarrin family name being shared than racing, though technically it would be true for racing too.

Re: GM Questions
Are we using the pocket money rules, and is it only for session 1, or all sessions?
Figured I might as well ask here since people often forget about it.

Starting Morality.
I know we're not using Morality Chargen rules, but do we have some leeway on stating our starting morality?

At base: you can choose between being Lightside or Darkside for the basis of where you derive your connection to the force.Sholua Tempes wrote: ↑Mon May 03, 2021 8:05 pmStarting Morality.

Beyond that I don't have another good way to alter starting morality to mind yet so I'll say probably not for now but that could possibly change if I get a good idea for it.

For the arriving thread - does it take up the whole timeslot? Aka as 5 people before me posted, does this mean the whole morning is gone? It's fine if it is, just wanted to make sure

Is there a Scavenging rule/appropriate area, where we can try to repurpose scrap for crafting?

Lower Areas are pretty good for getting some scrap, though that comes with its own problems.Solork Tan wrote: ↑Tue May 04, 2021 1:31 pmIs there a Scavenging rule/appropriate area, where we can try to repurpose scrap for crafting?

Re: GM Questions
Not sure whether Triumphs in the 'Welcome to Bellionas' event have any effect (making things easier for others, maybe?), but just in case they do...

Re: GM Questions
Assuming you'll not do anything stupid while being detained by Imperials, you should be okay. I mean, if you do, we can just retcon those other scenes, but I presume you won't shout the word "bomb" or give a "The Reason You Suck" Speech while in their custody.
