Force and Destiny Campaign Concept: The Dark Age

While the Episode 1-3 era of Star Wars has never interested me as far as the Jedi were concerned, I’ve always loved the setting of the Old Republic. I’ve played a little KotOR, and some of The Old Republic MMO, but the era that really interested me is the New Sith Wars. In this era, 1000 years before Episode 1, the galaxy has been engulfed in war against the Sith for a millennia. I have multiple players interested, and while in the past I wasn’t super eager to run an all-Jedi campaign, I’m really excited to run something in this era. Of course, I wrote an opening crawl text.

STAR WARS: DARK AGE

For one thousand years the galaxy has been at war. Rising from shadows, the Sith struck with a vengeance. The collapse of the holonet and interdiction of many hyperspace lanes has silenced the galaxy. It is a new dark age.

The Republic is ruled by a Jedi Master who stands as Supreme Chancellor, while Jedi Lords have carved out small feudal societies to protect against the dying of the light.

A small army of loyal Jedi remain as the Sith continue to lure Jedi from the light. While scholars in the centuries to come would say that only two Sith remained, a master and apprentice, in this era of terrible conflict, the Sith are legion.

This era has the Sith in near total control, but their power is disjointed. They are attacking and backstabbing each other, so there’s no major singular Sith threat. The Jedi are fractured as well. There really is no central power, despite the Republic technically existing. It’s lost most of its power.

This era is super mystical, with civilization on the brink of collapse. I’m really excited to run this thing. I’ll be putting together some pages here on Dice Monkey to provide more campaign info, and I may even record it for a podcast.

If you’re local to Spokane and interested, let me know!
