An interesting challenge was brought to my attention via our newest player, Jeremy.
Basically, I was going to write a Star Wars story in a Highlander-style, mapping out consequences in the modern-day Main Arc from the choices made in this prequel Side Arc.
With the character concept given by my player, and he being a brand-new player, I’ve found myself truly in my element: teaching tabletop gaming. If I can help a player understand what they’re capable of, and get them comfortable with describing what they want to do, I consider that a victory.
The new player has proven himself to be smart in both important aspects for gaming: he asked questions and explained his strategies. He was introduced to “consequential campaigns” rather quickly, having defenestrated someone in broad daylight.
Everyone does it at least once in their first campaign.
I’ll be making my notes and mapping out how his decisions will affect the Main Arc campaign (he’s starting at 5BBY, while the Main Arc is almost at 2ABY), and I can already see several points just from his first session that will have strong influences on the “future”. It’s turning out to be a lot of fun to write.
Stay safe out there, readers!

Welcome to the game, Jeremy. I look forward to our paths crossing and to reading your part of the story.
