One of my role-playing games has faltered and died, and I'm starting
a new one because of this. I'm going to use the old game's carcass as
a site to create the characters and make sure all the players know
the rules of the board before I create the actual game site, so
please if you think you're interested subscribevia email:

or visit the group and join the list of players:
Let me tell you about the setting before you decide it isn't worth
your time. The game is D20 D&D 3rd Edition. The setting is neither
totally Science Fiction, nor totally Fantasy. It is actually a mix of
Future and Fantasy. The setting is a creation of my own. As is, it is
an "in progress" setting and I am testing it under the name Void-9.
Immediately you are thinking about space, and a good deal of it takes
place in space and futuristic worlds. I admit, technology is a big
part of the game, but Magical spells, Psychic powers, and Divine
faith are also extremely important aspects.
The Terran Galactic System has been torn asunder by a vast civil war.
The stability of the Terran Galactic System, though no longer a
unified front, is not in question. The Terran Galactic Senate still
has maintained power. The Amtessian Confederate Systems who have
broken away however are a loose, disorganized faction opposed to the
Senate's strict union of planets, which they believe enslaves all
planets in submission to the command and power of the Terran race.
The Amtessian Confederate Systems are viewed as little more than an
ever-present nuisance to the Terran Galactic System, but
confrontations have proven even a nuisance, if not taken seriously,
can be a powerful enemy. Even so, the Terran Galactic Senate fails to
recognize them as a free entity, seperate from the whole, and
maintains the true threat is from the unknown beyond the Galactic
boundaries of known space. Due to this refusal, the military of the
Terran Galactic System has taken the initiative on recognizing the
threat and, while the standing order from the Senate is "hold your
fire, weapons on stun," the Military orders tend to come into
conflict with the Senate with commands ranging from "fire at will"
to "eliminate with extreme prejudice."
Fortunately, the civil war at large doesn't affect the populaces of
the various galactic homeworlds. However, crime is still a prevalent
factor. Galactically, the universe is divided; globally, the world is
divided or fractured depending on how you see it. On some planets,
entire races take to war against each other; on others street gangs
and triads dominate the major threats to the civilized populace. In
truth, everyone has an enemy, and anyone can become a target, but
when you become one... Will you fight or falter?
I'm using an augmented list of classes and an extended list of races.
There are two sides to the coin and neither side is wholly evil,
merely politically opposed to the beliefs of the enemy. Evil PCs, as
long as they aren't completely evil backstabbing cutthroats, are
limited, but allowed. A person can be morally evil and still be
ethical and honorable, or in other words, Chaotic Evil alignments are
prohibited, and Neutral Evil aligned characters must adhere to DM set
limits on their ethical neutrality. For Lawful Evil I have a defined
honor system I adhere to, and expect Lawful Evil characters to adhere
to as well. But enough about Evil, you're going to be good guys
right!? ^_^ Right... lol
I'm planning on the game being playable by all ages, but I'm not
gonna tell you what you can and can't pout in your posts, just try to
adhere to the Yahoogroups Terms of service guidelines, or I'll delete
the post before Yahoogroups can delete my group. Okay I think that
about covers everything.
Okay, now you know a bit about it, I'll give you time to decide if
you're interested. Try to be subscribed or email me an answer by
September 22 so I can begin Character Creation with the group and
make my invitation list for the group site. To subscribe, email:
SWRPG-FF-subscribe@... or visit:
and join from the site.
Remember, this is only the site where character creation will take
place. SWRPG is going to be deleted when the new group site is
complete and the game is underway.
Thank you,
Juel Valor
