Dapper Dog Q&A

[Remmington Thalalas]

Thanks once again for all your hard work with this game. I know it can be trying to deal with so many players on your own. Though now that I mention it, I am surprised that you didn't have any other GM help this time.

Was that a conscious choice? Or just no one really interested/had the time to do it?

Once Nekoinu decided she wanted to play, I just figured I would just roll forward, it wasn't a hard decision really.

Thank you for running the game, and putting up with the Skip Tracer depth of once per sessions. I really loved the unnamed Duros informant. It felt like these two had known each other for some time, even without having much screen time.

I enjoyed duros informant dude, if a game gives you a fun ability might as well lean into it.

I also wanted to jump in here and say that you did an amazing job with this game Dapper, I felt engaged the whole time and am already chomping at the bit for Alderaan XD.

Were there any unexpected challenges to GMing one of these games alone? Or were you pretty ready for it? Because honestly you make it look easy when I know it's not.

The usual stuff really, just making sure I had enough hooks out there and a variety of stories to hook into, staring at odd requests trying to see how doable they were or going Nope, not gonna happen. The players are inventive and as always can keep you on your toes. One of the things I wanted to do more of this game was showing people being in charge as these characters are important people and should hopefully feel importantish.

Oh that reminds me. Thanks for introducing that Sidekick mechanic into the game. It certainly made things more interesting and made our characters seem more important too. Though that may have given you more headaches.

[Alister Dravvad]

Thanks for the game Dapper, and also introducing Alister to the cleverman. Alister will enjoy killing all the force users.

[Lord Jo'ren Rath]

Thank you for another great game! I was glad I didn't get cut off completely during field work and the conference, although I definitely had to drop a bunch of stuff I was planning to follow up on (Massassi queen, Nova Station, Zash, Major Nox).

Hope we weren't too annoying given you did all of the cat-herding yourself this game . Always nice to see a few familiar faces like Kalen and the Cleverman.

In a way I would have liked to see Malgus succeed. I remember enjoying his stuff in SWTOR. But this player driven story is even cooler imho. I'm looking forward to seeing where you take it from here, I love this alternate Star Wars universe you've created

Huzzah for another game completed!

Now that end game is here, I am curious to see what the remaining Aspirant events would have been like.

[Remmington Thalalas]

I'm kinda curious as to what would have happened with the other outcomes of the end poll.

The events would have been more role play focused for the Dark Council event, you would have a general idea of who seemed undecided who was against you and was for you modified by play and choice and then three chances to try and make appeals or speeches or whatever to maybe change their opinion of the Coucilor.

Then it would have been the last day and there would have been duels for any ties in the top three or four depending on results since Hofu was out of the race. Then the two winners would decide on the fate of the others, which is awful but again choices.

I'm kinda curious as to what would have happened with the other outcomes of the end poll.

If the Emperor won, status quo, game continued on Malgus would the Emperor's power would have been absolute an unassailable during the next two games at least and he would probably do the kill most people on Ziost thing and other words at some point.

There was an option to make the Emperor basically unbeatable but that required a lot of Night of Terror usage.

If the Dark Council won there would have been a brief freeze on the race while they assessed the situation and then a follow up poll on if they rule as a council or if one tries to rise up and be Emperor, which could have ended in a disastrous multi sided civil war or a new Emperor.

If Malgus won, well he would have made good on is promises freed slaves, integrated aliens, abolished dark council and set himself up as the absolute ruler. There could have been an option for Shaisha to be Empress but again she did not give in to Valkorian enough for that to open up.
