Finally back up and running an older game. I am now running a West End Games Star Wars campaign.

First the rules: They actually are not as bad as I remembered. I can still see that they will get horribly bloated as characters become more powerful but I plan on being fairly stingy with development points to counter this. For now I am sticking with the rule that either everyone is a Jedi or no one is. I have a lot of experience with this rule set, I ran a four year long campaign during high school.

The first game in the campaign took place during Episode 3. The PCs are Jedi Knights working under Master Windu. He has expressed doubts to them about some of the decisions that Yoda has been making recently and is frustrated by Yoda's strict adherence to a prophecy. He feels that the whole order could be in great danger.

Windu decides to send the three Jedi on a mission far out on the Rim. They are sent to the planet Crrl, home of the giraffe like, force sensitive Crrl herd people. One hundred years ago a dark Jedi conquered Crrl and enslaved the herds. After 25 years the herds banded together and overcame him. The Crrl do not believe in violence and have no death penalty. The subjected him to a mind wipe (one of their force powers) and accepted him to the herd.

The Jedi did not learn of this incident until after the Clone Wars had started and have not had a chance to pursue the issue.

Windu tasks the Jedi with investigating the mind wiped dark Jedi. They are to determine if he still carries any memories of his turn to the dark side or if his mind has been truely wiped. The Master Herd of Crrl has given them permission to execute Gin Galla (the former dark Jedi) if they feel there is a chance he could revert.

Master Windu entrusts the young Jedi with a special crystal pyramid that is an ancient Jedi artifact. Little is known about how it works except that it allows a Jedi to delve into another's memories.

Gin Galla, now known as hum'Crrl, seems to be fully integrated into Crrl society when the meet him. They decide to use the crystal pyramid. My channeling the Force through the pyramid into Gin Galla the Jedi and the target both collapse into a dream-like state. The Jedi find themeselves inside Gin Galla's mind. They also find that they can exit by concentrating on themselves through the crystal pyramid inside this dream-like world.

Gin Galla's mind seems to be an open plain. As they investigated further they discovered a large ziggurat on the plain.

While investigating the ziggurat they found a temple in the center, there was a floating eye with dozens of tentacles floating in the temple. When they entered the temple the floating eyeball attacked. They were able to hold it off long enough to use the pyramid to escape back to the real world.

Once back on Crrl they used the Galactic Net to discover that the ziggurat that they saw was of the type that the Sith had built. They were unable to get in contact with the Jedi Temple through their normal channels.

They decided to go back into Gin Galla's mind and take him with them this time. They had him concentrate on himself through the crystal pyramid and then entered his mind. They took him to the temple to face the floating eye. He cowered in fear while the eye tossed them around like ragdolls. Even when they did manage to damage it, it quickly regenerated. They fled outside the ziggurat and began to climb to the top, the eye in pursuit.

When they reached the top of the ziggurat they determined that they still could not defeat the eye and began to use the crystal pyramid to leave. When one Jedi and Gin Galla were left the Jedi decided to use the crystal pyramid to try to delve into Gin Galla here in the dreamworld.

He found himself looking through Gin Galla's eyes while the eye whipped him with its tentacles. He used the pyramid again to jump from Gin Galla to the eye itself. Once there he found that he could control the eye and stopped attacking.

Gin Galla ordered the eye (the Jedi) to begin tearing down the ziggurat. The Jedi complied and Gin Galla used the pyramid to exit to the real world.

Once back in the real world they found that the one Jedi was still in a dreamlike state and used the pyramid to jump into his mind. Here they found a ghost image of him swining a hammer against a large rock. He told them that he had chosen to remian inside Gin Galla and control the eye to tear down the evil Sith temple.

Once back in the real world they placed the Jedi's body in stasis and attempted to contact the Jedi Temple. They recieved Yoda's warning that they should go to ground due to Order 66.
