It's been a while since I've posted, just letting you know the Star Wars Campaign did die when I came back home. Gaming over the internet is cool if you have a computer, but computer troubles and other things have killed the flame. Maybe when I'm off my mission I'll start it up again.
It's been a few months, so I have some new updates. I have created a superhero game which I am going to write up rules for and (who knows?) maybe even try to have published. I may also be working in tandem with two friends to create a comic book series based on our adventures.
I've been playing 4th Edition, and I must say it's an entirely different game. I like it quite a bit because it's ease of play, but will still be running 1st and 3rd edition games.
Also, back at home I am running a Monday night game and my friend is running a Tuesday night game. I just finished the Superhero game and am moving on to a World of Darkness game. On Tuesday my friend is running a 4th Edition game, where I am a dwarven Cleric. Well, more on that WoD game as it develops.

Last Day Travelling
Quick update: I'm staying at my sister's until tomorrow morning, and then I'm going home! I'll be back in town tomorrow night, rest on Wednesday, go see Iron Man Thursday night (excellent!) and then try to get a job somewhere in there. The solution I had for the internet problem hasn't panned out, I'll probably just end up getting dial-up. Also, I'll be starting up a campaign back with my gaming group back home, but I may not DM, so more on that later, or maybe not.
The update for the Star Wars Campaign may take until Sunday, so anybody that was there can check that and remind me of anything I missed. Can't wait to get out of this heat.

Oops! I lied.
Turns out the guy who plays Kin Dorin didn't leave until a few hours ago, so last night we threw a big double session. It's a pretty long one, so it may take me a few days to get it all up here.
I may have a solution to the internet problem, but I'm not sure, also, I've got a new player who joined up yesterday, so I'm pretty anxious to get started as soon as possible.

Star Wars Campaign: Hiatus
Hey, due to the hustle and bustle of finals, this Saturday's session has been canceled. Unfortunately, due to my moving back to a location where internet is not readily accessible, I am afraid I must place the entire campaign on hiatus until further notice. Now, other campaigns may start and continue during this time, and those will continue to be updated, however because the Star Wars group will be living in 3 different states by the end of next week, I need to work some stuff out before it continues.
Sorry for the bad news, hopefully it won't be too long before the game is up and running again.

Lots of Posts for Today
Just an administrative note, I've chopped the 2nd Star Wars campaign session review into 3 more easily digested chunks. There is still a full version out there, but I think I will start doing this more often, that is I'm going to start blogging my session reviews in smaller pieces.
Hopefully it will make it easier to enjoy.

Star Wars Campaign: Session 2, part 3
While Dorin unloaded the airspeeder with Cray's help, Kin and Deeni hit the local cantina. They showed a picture of Haisha to the bartender, who mentioned she had come in here to pick up a man named Derek and a few thugs of his. They asked the bartender about Derek and discovered he was a failed bounty hunter who had started up a protection agency because of his way with people. While Derek never goes on a job personally, when his men are employed he is never seen around. No one knows what happens to him while he's on the job. Kin and Deeni tried to find more information on Derek, but couldn't find anything useful. They made their way back to the docking bay where the airspeeder was ready to go.
They flew to the small farming outpost, parking their airspeeder on the outskirts of town since Kin was unwilling to pay the hangar fee to park it in town. Deeni locked it down mechanically while Kin froze the controls on the computer and all three headed to Gina's.
At the door they were greeted by three thugs, who asked them what they were doing. Kin said they were looking for ship parts, and the man agreed to let them in, but only after they surrendered their weapons. They all gave their weapons up, except for Deeni, who carried a concealed weapon under his arm. They were all frisked, but the blaster was left undetected.
They then headed into the store, determined to find Haisha and get paid.

Star Wars Campaign: Session 2, part 2
The group headed to docking bay 13-C, easily bypassing the door with the security card. Closing the door, but leaving Cray as lookout, Kin and Deeni made their way to her ship, a small light freighter of a make and model unknown to the group. Deeni attempted to hotwire the door open, but failed, almost fusing the door shut. Kin, however, managed to slice the controls and get the door open. The ship successfully broken into, Kin and Deeni searched further in, finding Haisha's personal quarters. Everything was gone and the computer's memory had been wiped clean. Kin managed to recover her user registry, uploading it on their linked data pads. Cray, still guarding the door, noticed that it looked like she had transferred money from several accounts established under fake names into one account and then made several purchases. Having had experience in illicit activities, Cray was able to recognize several war droid manufacturing firms and illegal protection agencies, estimating she had spent most of her savings to hire thugs, bodyguards, and war droids.
Kin and Deeni headed further into the ship were their suspicions were confirmed. In the cabin were 2 war droids. Kin and Deeni made short work of them, but not before Deeni was shot in the arm. After the fight Kin and Deeni inspected the holo-map in the middle of the room. The control panel had been ripped open and several blaster shots fired into the wiring, but it wasn't anything Deeni couldn't fix with parts from the burnt out droids. However, even with functionality restored, Kin couldn't extract any information beyond that Haisha had been searching for cybernetics shops before she left, and he found a list of 200 cybernetics shops. Kin inspected the droids, finding they had sent a failed transmission. It was heavily encrypted, but he could tell by the signal strength it was meant for someone outside of Tauriana.
They moved into the cockpit next, where Kin had a bit of luck. Sitting in the Captain's seat, he accidentally hit a secret lever revealing a datapad. Deeni also found that the navicomputer had been completely removed. Having hit paydirt, Kin and Deeni made a brief visit to the engine room before picking up Cray and heading out.
They went and talked to the dockmaster and gave him back the security card, telling him he had dropped it earlier. They then mentioned that he may want to start scrapping the ship, because even if she was going to flee the planet she was going to be on a different ship, mentioning the blasted out holo-map and the missing navicomputer.
The group sent the information on the datapad to Dorin, asking him what he thought. When he asked what it was about, they realized that in the excitement of finding it, none of them had thought to read it. Talking it back to the ship, where Kin patched up Deeni's arm in the med bay, they read it together with Dorin, finding, among other things, a reference to Gina's Cybernetics and Garage, a small cybernetics shop in a town miles away from Tauriana. Agreeing that this information fit with the droid transmissions on the ship, they decided to check it out.
