Roll to Dodge Emperor Palpatine (OOC and Character Roster)
« on: September 16, 2023, 05:34:17 pm »

Inspired by games like Roll to Dodge Princess Celestia and Los Cazadores...

A blinding flash, a brilliant light, and then you arrive in a galaxy far, far away. The tyrannical Galactic Empire, headed by former Republic Chancellor and Sith Lord Sheev Palpatine, controls the known universe with an iron fist. Enforced by his army of Imperial Stormtroopers, the hunters of the mystic known as the Inquisitors, and his black right hand known only as "Darth Vader," the traitorous Darth Sidious has attained unlimited power, backed by a universal "Force", an energy that binds all life together.

You have arrived here, or perhaps have lived here for some time, with one goal in mind. Free the Galaxy. On your journey, you will face not just the Empire, but random encounters across the multiverse, your personal demons, and even yourselves. Between bouts, you may relax and strategize, but your goal shall remain the same.

Palpatine and Darth Vader must be removed, killed, erased, or impeached. Tyranny cannot survive in this blackest sea.


That description makes it sound a lot more serious than I'm sure it will be. Welcome to yet another RPG by me! In this game, you will be playing as a set of characters from across established franchises, and fighting and roleplaying across the Star Wars galaxy in an attempt to defeat the entire Galactic Empire!

Naturally, I'll suggest V1 from Ultrakill.

...But failing that, Gordon Freeman is fine.

Odo Nobunaga is from "actual history".
I don't know for sure, but if my memory of Zero Punctuation serves me right, Kazuma Kiryu is from the actual video game "Yakuza", and I would guess the other guy is too.

I don't know any of these franchises but I'll be Rando Calrissian because I found that funny. And also because I have a well-documented love of going charisma build and being useless.

Had a feeling that some of them might have been from that game, makes me wonder why there are two random historical figures in the list now.

I wanted a wide range of characters from essentially all over to give as much choice as possible, but I had literally been on and off the OP so long that I just wanted to get it out the door. I'll add more TF2 characters, other characters, and historical figures later on.

In any case, any colors in mind for Egan's V1, King Zultan's Predator, and Spin's Lando?

I'll take Yellow.

Also the way this game is set up with all the random characters reminds me of a game you did quite a while back.

PTW i guess, seems like a cool idea. It'd be fun to drop a character like Ori into another world and see what happens (the only reason i'd join). Shame it's an RTD though, as i've pretty much resolved to never play an RTD again—I don't like the excessive randomness.
