Hello There!

We have a new Actual Play starting tomorrow night, August 13th at 7pm EDT. It is a story set directly after Return of the Jedi, the Empire is crumbling, and a new threat begins to emerge in the Outer Rim.

This is our 2nd campaign, and our follow up to DARK UNDERWORLD. Our goal with our APs is to tell cool and interesting stories, with compelling characters, with as high of a production quality as we possibly can between microphones, cameras, audio design, editing, and cutting out the long pauses and similar moments that can bog down the watching/listening experience.

We will have live premieres for new episodes each Thursday night starting at 7pm EDT. During the Live Premieres we also have Ads disabled so we can all watch and live chat together without people getting stuck on ad breaks. We hope to see you there!

Our next stream will be on September 1st at 7pm EDT, where we will be chatting about Episodes 1-3. We would love to see you drop in and say hi!

Hello There! My name is Nate and I have a channel called Tabletop Empire on YouTube. I mostly make content on the other narrative dice game from FFG/EDGE. But I have some stuff for Genesys, with 2 Live Plays, an upcoming actual play campaign that blends the other game with a fair bit of Genesys, GM'd by Jeff aka Joress from RPGSessions.

On top of those, a few years ago I started a Beginner's Guide Series for Genesys, but I didn't get very far. That said, some people have been sharing those videos lately, but I have been planning on starting the series over now for about a year, for a few reasons:

- Making some improvements as a whole for both the Script and Editing.

- Removing the gross AI green screen background

With me finally starting to write out some scripts, and planning on videos to start on it this month, what are some things you would like to see this time around? What did you like or not like? I want to create a great resource to introduce new players and GMs to the game, and I would love to get some community feedback to take into consideration. I start filming the first video Wednesday 🫡

Thanks in advance for reading and your input!

Last year my friends and I ran a 30 episode campaign of Star Wars Edge of the Empire.

A Human, Twi’lek, Wookiee, and Toydarian navigate the criminal underworld of Coruscant in the aftermath of Return of the Jedi. It’s an anti-hero style adventure where the four chase clues of a mysterious artifact, fight for a seat of power against the other syndicates, and deal with the demons from their past that refuse to stay buried.

Our next campaign THE UNNATURALS begins in 4 weeks, and that will be using primarily Force and Destiny, with a little bit of Genesys mixed in.

Hello There! My name is Nate and I am the creator of the SWRPG YouTube channel Tabletop Empire. It has always been my goal to try to create fun, helpful, and quality SWRPG content. I have a ton of videos to help new players learn the game, most notably the Beginners Guide Series.

Throughout 2025 we ran and produced our first Actual Play Campaign titled DARK UNDERWORLD, an Edge of the Empire story set in the the criminal underworld of Coruscant just after Return of the Jedi. It’s an anti-hero style adventure where the four chase clues of a mysterious artifact, fight for a seat of power against the other syndicates, and deal with the demons from their past.

One of the goals was to create a Star Wars RPG Actual Play with as high of a production quality as we could, while simultaneously telling a great story with compelling characters. We learned a lot from our first campaign, and now we are getting ready to start recording our 2nd, THE UNNATURALS.

Premise:

As Imperial rule across the galaxy begins to crumble, something long dormant awakens in the Outer Rim. A new threat rises from a self-imposed slumber. A Human, Togruta, Kyuzo, and Nautolan-Pantoran are brought together by destiny, but will they rise to confront this growing threat, or allow the galaxy to fall into unnatural chaos?

System:

Force & Destiny, with a few Genesys-inspired changes this time around.

Our Cast & Crew:

Jeff (aka Joress), who played Kiinon last time, will be the GM this time around. He is one of the 3 great minds behind RPGSessions. He also has run games for FFG/EDGE at cons like GenCon, and has over a decade of experience running the FFG Narrative Dice systems.

My friend Simon is once again handling the cutting down of the footage, removing the fluff and silences that can bog down an AP.

I am stepping down from the GM chair to play a Togruta named Mira. I'll also still be handling much of the behind-the-scenes work: coordinating the players, creating overlays and visual assets, adding music and sound effects, providing a final pass for cutting out fluff, or anything else needed on the post-production side of things.

Noah, who previously played Ragro, will be playing a Human named Kaden. Lacey, who played Shay, will be playing a Nautolan-Pantoran named Rinni. Joe, who played Mott, will be playing a Kyuzo named Con.

We also commissioned artwork for the characters and backgrounds from Maggie Nizich. She hand-drew everything, except the channel logo SVG, and she was incredible to work with.

All of the people who come together to create these campaigns make them far better than anything I could accomplish on my own, and I'm incredibly grateful for every one of them.

So, now getting to the main reason for this post:

We start recording next week, and there are a good number of things we will be trying to improve upon for our next go around. However I would love to hear from you! Before our first campaign, I asked you all for some input before we started, and your input actually made a huge difference in how the AP was approached for the better. So once again, I am looking for some feedback.

If you watched DARK UNDERWORLD, what did you like or dislike? What would you like to see changed, or remain the same, or improved upon? If you never got around to watching, what are some things you wish other APs would do or change? And as always, if you have any questions for me, I am happy to try and answer. Thanks for reading, I look forward to your responses!

So its not a perfect arrangement (Absolomb is actually really hard to sing and play at the same time for like post-chorus 1 lol), I am not really a singer and I know I am not great at it, just a fan who is a little more than mildly obsessed with Absolomb and Lune, and would cry if I heard either song during the Fall tour during the show, or stripped. This video is my humble petition for either or both songs.

If you are more talented than me, here is the chord chart I pieced together using Open E chords. I would love to hear someone better than me take a stab at it.

Song Ranking: Each tier is organized by album release, and song order on album. For example, Lune, Reptile, and Smiles would be at the top if it was ordered.

Album Ranking: ordered, Left to Right: Best to Worst. For Example, P3 > P5 > Jugg

Just my opinions, I already know Imma catch Hell Below for my opinion of Froggin' Bullfish. I love you love it, idk why it just has never fully clicked with me as much.

I could see any or all of these songs on APWD bumping up a tier over time. I just don't know if I can quite yet put any of them on par with Lune, Smiles, Reptile, Satellites, or any others in Eargasmic tier. But hey at one point Satellites was probably in "good" tier for me, before it just clicked. The beauty of periphery songs is they always have a chance of just clicking with the brain out of nowhere and going from good to WOW.
