Short description of the setting/campaign
The Devil's Rejects (or, Star Wars meets Firefly)

You're different. Always have been. You can do things that other folks can't. And that's why they wanted you.

The Empire, that is. You'd recognize that shiny, white armor, and those wicked black, painted helmet grins anywhere.

They ambushed you when you weren't expecting it; took you during the night. You don't even know where you are. All you know is that they've been drugging you up and pushing you through 'experiements' that make the daily routine of a laboratory rat look 'dignified'.

But, something happened yesterday. There were explosions. Troops running. Smoke. Someone (or something) grabbed you, and tossed you onto a ship. And, now that the drugs are wearing off, you're becoming increasingly aware that you might actually be a free man. Some of the other 'lab rats' are sprawled out along the deck floor with you. There's no stormtroopers in sight. No Impreial insignias on the walls. You limp to your feet, grabbing hold of a dingy bulkhead as your mind whirlwinds toward your family and friends. Are they okay? Were they captured, too?

You push the grim thoughts from your mind as the smell of breakfast wafts in from the next room over. Better go get something to eat. It could be your last meal...

Metagame Information:
The game setting takes place 5 years before Episode IV.

Each of the characters will have some form of Force power. Players can choose any non-Jedi-specific (re: Lightsaber Combat) power from any of the WEG Star Wars D6 books. It is assumed that all players are Force Sensitive.

Players can have a base knowledge of who the Jedi are/were, but no one can have any formal Jedi training, or any Jedi contacts. You can decide whether your character had any family/friends/job before their abduction, or whether they just lived alone as a hermit on some backworld. Your choice.

Otherwise, all character creation stats are as specified in the WEG Star Wars books for starting PCs.

We have need of all class types at this point.

Notes:
We'd like to have our first game at the start of September. So, c'mon! Join, already!

Sounds like a solid setup you have.

I've been contemplating using Skype as a gaming tool as well.

I'd probably roll dice using Galaxy Games Online though.

If this was 6 months ago I'd jump at the chance to participate. Sadly, my weekends have been pretty busy this past couple of months.

Allst:
Skype is freeware and pretty useful. I been using it to talk to Grimace and other Holonetizens recently. You can either do a standart text chat, or VOIP with your contacts.

I've played online with my group via Skype and it worked very well. For dice-rolling and map sharing we used OpenRPG, and I also recommend it. We tried ScreenMonkey but we couldn't get it to work with all that IP business.
