Now THAT's a nice way to spend the night! Great choice of dreams, Akari. Maybe I could make a guest appearance in the next one? 8)

Just as an aside, I tend to keep my Star Wars games PG-13... just like the movies.

I once had a player drop an F-bomb in character. To which I responded: "You can't say F*** in STAR WARS!!!" which got a big laugh (yes, even I chuckled) but the point was made.

To me, Star Wars is about epic battles of good vs. evil (both internal and external). If two players/characters want to jump each other's bones, go play World of Darkness or something.

Just my 2 creds.

PS - I'd be lying if I said I didn't have one of those Twi'lek dancing girl fantasies, tho. Wink

For any game it can be as serious and real as the characters and the GM want it to be. My old character saved a fellow hunter from being murdered (both trandoshans) and got married with the kids. Now as far as she was concered (npc), she was out of the picture till the husband died. And now that her hatchlings are older she is out looking for justice against the one she blames for the wrong death of her husband. Which was a fellow PC at the time. If she dies at some point I might make a kid, it could be fun to play the next generation. I have another character that fell in love with a high cost prostitute. He freed her from the slavery in which she was forced to live and almost leveled a city and a certain notrious hutt to do it. And no descriptions where ever made about the sex or what we did; only that we did. Needless to save it can give you a chance to use skills that aren't normally used such as persuasion or specialization in Flirt.

I sense something... a presence I have not felt since... OH! My thread is active again!

See, I never allow anything explicit to be stated in game. But sex and pregnancy happened in the Star Wars movies and ya know what, turned out to be a significant plot point. What are the odds she'd have twins and their different lives would affect the galaxy so much... oh man, I've figured it out. Star Wars is a Sci-Fi version of The Parent Trap!

As for the dream you had, Akari... I and some of my friends have dreams like that. I don't roll on the pregnancy chart if an event like that happens in game, of coure. Laughing

I let my players say and do whatever they want. The games tend to be more graphically violent than the movies were, but that's the way my players want it. Plus, I don't expect them to talk differently than they normally do.

As far as the sex stuff goes, I don't go into a lot of detail with it. I just assume they do their business and move on. I do roll for pregnancies depending on the circumstances.

My group started out with Shadowrun: There is blood, there is violence, there is sex. I tried to run the Star Wars RPG in a different way, but it didn't work out. I think we are just your creepy, bad example of what roleplaying does to promising young men.

Reluctant as I am to revive this thread yet again, I do have a relevant question that I don't think quite deserves its own thread:

How does promiscuity affect a Force-sensitive character?

From one point of view, it's bad- the character is giving in to base emotions and urges (lust, to be specific). It's not that different from giving in to fear, hate, greed, or thirst for power, and those are all clear paths to the dark side. "I want this, so I'll just take it," is the basic mentality of the dark side, and promiscuity fits into that pretty cleanly.

Then again, there's a case to be made that it's just fine. Attachment, as we learn in Episode 2, is what's forbidden to Jedi. Promiscuity is completely attachment-free. If the character is being careful, not only in terms of pregnancy and STDs, but also in considering the emotional well-being of a partner, where's the harm?

The best I've been able to come up with yet, is: "It depends on the specifics. In general, this won't give you DSPs, but it'll slow you down if you're trying to get rid of them."

Does anyone else have ideas about this?

I don't view Jedi as necessarily celibate. Nomi Sunrider was the wife of a Jedi before she became one. Luke married Mara Jade. Committed relationships in themselves aren't a problem, it seems, as long as one is capable of maintaining them.
I also wouldn't equate promiscuity with "I want this, so I'll just take it." That sounds more like rape, and is certainly DSP worthy. Promiscuity just means you like to screw a lot, it doesn't mean you force yourself on people. If the hypothetical promiscuous Jedi is careful to not hurt anyone emotionally, I see no problem with it whatsoever.
The Jedi are often portrayed in a fashion analogous to Eastern ascetic mystics, meditating in silence, remaining celibate, etc. While that is a useful meme to adopt, I don't see a problem with having a Jedi who is more like an Eastern tantric, who have no problem with the more "earthly" pleasures, and in fact use them the same way the ascetic uses stillness and abstention.

I can't imagine the prequel-Jedi Order (1000BBY-19BBY) to allow it. The masters were basically monks sitting in an err...ivoranium tower. I don't know about the lower ranks, but this would be something the big-cheeses wouldn't want, because this could lead to acquisitiveness=>vanity=>anger=>hate=>death - you know the deal. There were exceptions being made for species. Ki-Adi Mundi was allowed to have a big family with multiple wives and kids. I think it was because the Cereans were dying out, but I'm not sure where I read that - prolly Wookiepedia.

Before Ruusan and after Endor things like a celibate for Jedi are unheard of. I also have the impression, that the tradition of taking force-sensitive babies away from their families was discontinued and I think I've read it was only started after the Ruusan reformation.

For a force-user it would definetly be ok to try to get it on. There's nothing inherently wrong with that.
