Shield the Youngling

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…

“It’s the Jedi! Blast ’em!”
“Roger, roger.”

When the Separatists invaded Epluma, the parents of 8-year-old Malza Kerpatto took him with them on the evacuation shuttle…except they didn’t. Instead, Malza unwittingly used his Force powers to deceive them and hide in their castle-like home.

When the Republic’s Jedi and Clone Army landed to take the planet back, the Separatists’ Battle Droids couldn’t withstand them. The remaining assortment of droids has fled…to that same castle…

What will the battle droids do when it comes time to protect the child?

This is a weekly West Marches-style campaign of Protect the Child (https://mint-rabbit.itch.io/protect-the-child-playtest), a game about monsters caring for a young human — but here, the setting involves Battle Droids protecting a young Force-capable alien child in the Star Wars universe.

Familiarity with the prequel Star Wars movies or the Clone Wars TV shows is highly preferred. Tone will be similar to those properties — action, violence, some comedy, and some intense emotions.

Pregens will be provided, no knowledge of the game required.

Each session will be a standalone episode/story, but they will be strung together in a larger narrative. Feel free to switch up your pregen in different sessions! You’ll get more out of it if you can commit to more than one session, but it’s not required.

The Community Code of Conduct will be in force. We will use Lines & Veils and X-Card.
