What should there be more races of on JVS?

You tell.

There should be more podraces, it was one of the best bits in the Phantom Menace and I'm gonna be working on a way to do it fairly!

I totally agree and would love to pod race.

would be pretty cool.

I thought you meant species >.<

Originally yes... but.... pod races work too. >.<

That's a very confusing title... If you mean "what other races(species) should there be on JvS" .. then you probably should have put it that way. If you meant "What race should be played by more characters on JvS".. well, same as above.

I'll just answer it both ways.

Species-wise there are a few that are lacking that should probably be around much more, but then again most canon species are allowed and there are hundreds to choose from so people really have their pick. So there are probably a lot that should be here that aren't or at the very least would make an interesting storyline but aren't here to do it.

As for races, well that would be fun but difficult to write, people just don't like to lose and the winner would probably have to be predetermined because of that. Pod or swoop races would be pretty awesome, but I lean more toward swoop since they inspire swoop gangs to be created, much more interesting RP. But to me pod racing is like nascar, watching a bunch of guys going around and around a giant circle with the hope of an eventual wreck to wake you up and swoops are like drag races, it's quick, it's exciting, it holds your attention, and when it's over you don't need some adrenaline shot to keep your heart beating.

Easily solved by way of using the chat dice ;)

e.g. 10 rounds of 2/3-die rolling. If X rolls higher than Y, they move ahead. Depending on what they roll, they can move a number of places ahead; X rolls 1-3 higher = 1 space move. 4-6 = 2 spaces. 7-10 = 3 spaces. 11+ = 5 spaces.
That way leads can form and be fought back etc.
Also means not only winner can be bet on, but by how many "spaces", which in terms of RP can equate to whatever distance/time.
You can also add in things like hazards that each player rolls for outcome of; "Tuskens on the Ridge" - roll odd to avoid, roll even to lose a space.

And so on... the possibilities are endless.

You know I was gonna do a pazaak tournament in chat once, no one really signed up for it. I also thought about trying to get a sabacc game going, again no one really got on board with it.

You now this sort of thing has some actual substance to it, and we could even get some gambling going on it. IC creds of course.

I think the problem with the pazaak and sabacc idea you had was; very few people understood it, or even the premise of the game itself in canon. There was a lot to consider, and too many variables I think, which made it so confusing it put people off. Keeping it simple, on a premise that is easily understood, with randomness and defined rules, might well work better, and could serve many walks of life in terms of RP (gambling, racing, competition [a leaderboard even?], criminal underworlds......you name it).

I think just more gaming oriented things in general, like what has been mentioned above...races like podracing, blob racing, etc....more casino-atmosphere places....more things for the seedy criminal underbelly of the universe to play around with.

Anything from Rodians to Killiks are needed for PCs. If you want to play an alien, you have plenty from which to choose: . Alas the humancentricity of it all! I know, I know, it is too hard to get into the mindset of an alien, or they look gross, too hard to find a profile picture, etc. Still would love to see more aliens on JvS that don't look human.

As for species, we could use some Selkath.

As for racing... well, we could use more racing in general. lol
