Clan Vizsla RP

Members of Clan Vizsla-

As I mentioned in my last report, I am moving forward with utilizing RP as a way to drive out clan storylines.

Zed approached me with an awesome plan of action for implementing this.

With that, I’ll turn this over to Zed!

Hello Viszla,

Starting in May I will be putting forward a regular monthly RP event. Being a new creation it might evolve over time based on success, feedback, and new ideas but the initial iteration will be:

1. Months will alternate between story based loose adventure RP and simple chat RP

2. Some months might not observe these rules for seasonal fun, stay tuned for spooky Halloween inspired events

3. The targeted session dates will be a day in the last week of the month but maybe the second last week if work or life mess with that plan

4. For the adventure RP sessions we will use a loose Blades in the Dark dice mechanic to keep it fun and inject some “yes and” shenanigans.

• Roll 1d6 (given how successful or terrible things are going , advantage/disadvantage might be used.) *6 Critical Success
• 5 or 4 Complicated Success but never tell you the odds
• 2 or 3 Failure, you’ll have a bad feeling about it
• 1 Critical Failure

Character Sheet Screenshots will not be needed, primary focus is fun but don’t go too far outside the boundaries. We want to embrace the “more like guideline” mentality so chats don’t get side tracked with rule analysis. If people unfairly overreach or take advantage, this could change. If you want to bring a screenshot to be as accurate RP as possible, feel free.

Storyline RP Method

I want people to have some collaboration input in the RP session, so I will send out a Discord vote sometime in the first 2 weeks of the month to help pick the story arch. The first RP session will be the end of May so I will share the upcoming vote as an example of some RP story ideas:

• Option 1 - An enemy ship has entered Vizsla space. The space defense system has immobilized it, and it is now up to you and your boarding party to figure out who they are and what they want. You will RP the boarding party event.

• Option 2 - Vizsla has been informed of a new community of false Mandolrians setting up a camp on Zsoldos. You will RP the incursion and reclaiming of familial armor.

• Option 3 - Bring them in warm or cold. A bounty has been submitted and it is up to you to retrieve them. You will RP the capture of the mark and how you want to do it.

Once an idea is picked it will go on cooldown for a couple months or so. If people really like adventure vs chat, or chat over adventure we can throttle occurrences accordingly but that will take some months to get participation data.

Non Storyline RP

RP ideas for a chat session (cough, like June, cough) will be:

• Option 1 - Simple post battle/bounty bar debrief and libations at Saga.
• Option 2 - Vizsla Combative Tournament. Anyone who wants to challenge another chat member can perform a best of 3 roll off, aka rollies. Those who know, know.

Other chat members can gamble and talk about the battles.

• Option 3 - Everyone has that friend who disappears at the bar. You're at a shady casino on Nar Shaddda, spent your credits, and ready to leave but someone is missing. Do you just wait, ask around, or leave without them? The dice mechanic could be introduced depending on where people take it.

My goal will be to paint you a picture of the setting and let you explore and have fun in that environment. Dice will only be utilized when as DM I can't make a clear call or narrative statement for the situation. It isn't D&D but it is more than just chatting. Sessions will be scheduled for probably 3 hours at first but can be altered based on participation. People can leave early or join late. Keep your eyes open for the initial vote post in Discord and the notification for the session date and time.

I hope you all are as excited to get this started as I am. Be on the lookout for the first event in May!

This is the Way.

-Dracpool, out.
