Another week, another game of Star Wars. The adventure rolls on with a special flashback episode. Last week, our band of heroes learned of 32 Belasco Division E-company (aka the Early Birds), an Old Republic Army advance assault unit that went missing on Toprawa during the Great Sith War. This week, we'll be playing soldiers in the Early Birds, allowing us to learn first hand what happened to the division.
It's a cool idea, and one we talked about before heading into the campaign. One of our goals with our Knights of the Old Republic game is to get to play characters at low, mid and high levels. To accomplish that, we're going to occasionally jump the campaign forward a few years/levels, and then run one-shots (or multi-shots) to fill in the resulting time gaps.
For example, when the Mandalorian Wars finally arrive, we'll stop the regular campaign and jump into the skins of Mandolorian Neocrusaders invading the Republic. When we've played through their assault on some frontier world, we'll jump back into our newly-leveled up main characters, and react to the invasion.
