My Star Wars Role Playing Game, An Intro

My name is Jake, and I am a big fan of the Star Wars Role Playing Game. I have been ever since I was eleven or twelve, when I found a Star Wars RPG guide put out by WEG in my basement. Since then I have ran countless games. Over time, these games have become heavily story focus, and I am ashamed to think about how many hours I have devoted to thinking of realistic character motivations, story pacing, and stylistic elements that would further enhance the play.

The main game I run is a solo game. The only player is my girlfriend, Steph. The game has been running for two years and has followed many twists and turns, taking her aspiring Bounty Hunter, Cecellia, and making her a Jedi Knight thrust into the middle of a war. She's lost friends, made enemies, found family she never thought she had, and constantly does the thankless job of protecting an ungrateful galaxy.

This blog will be intended to detail the campaign, it's ins and outs, twists and turns both past and present, and force me to write for the sake of writing. Also, if anyone is ever actually interested in this, maybe it can serve as inspiration for their own games.
