Interest Check - Star Wars D20 Campaign: KOTOR

I'm looking to create a new campaign soon or look for someone who can run it for me. I have a minor backstory right now that I just randomly thought of and I just want to get it out there right now before I forget it. Oh, and before anyone else asks, this is not going to run in the same sense the the actual KOTOR Saga went through, just using the time period. Think of it as an alternate universe where in this one, things happened differently. The Year is 4200 BBY, and the Dark Side is gaining more and more influence with each day. The are training more pupils and waiting for their chance to strike against the galaxy with their army, but that could be centuries away. Around this time, the Sith have organized a research team to get together and recreate the Great "Sith" race. There are still traces of the Sith in these days with the Kissai and Massassi, but they weren't going to be good enough to take over the galaxy alone. They started extracting the DNA of these Sith subraces and fine tuned it with the DNA of other races. Then they had the Dark Jedi of the Sith supercharge this DNA with the "Dark Side of the Force." They then cloned the DNA into a full person and thus, the Sith Race was reborn stronger than ever on the year of 4098 BBY. They named this Paragon of the new Sith Race, Lunaris. They started to clone Lunaris and used his DNA to make a Female equivalent to him. They named her, Shekuras. The Jedi catch wind of this experiment after the Sith boast about it's success to the far reaches of the Galaxy. However, due to the Republic's inability to attack due to insufficient manpower, they let the Sith sit undistirbed. Then, at 4000 BBY, the Great Sith War began (Just like it did in the canon story). The Sith order wanted to protect the "new" Sith race, so at the time, no Sith were sent into battle. Instead, they underwent intense training to prepare themselves for future invasions. After the war and everyone from the Sith retreated to far reaches of the Galaxy, the two Original Sith, Lunaris and Shekuras, join Darth Nihilus, Darth Sion, and Darth Traya as Sith Lords as well, Darth Lunaris and Darth Shekuras. This is when they started to mobilize the Sith Race and Organization. They spread Sith into other planets to recruit members into the Sith Empire and demonstrated their power on the Jedi Order. This age, 3955 - present, is starting to be called, The Dark Supremacy, and this is also where your story begins. You, in some way shape or form, are interested in the Sith Race. Whether you are interested in seeing it's destruction or seeing their powers is up to you. Now I know I messed up in this A LOT story-wise, but eh, I like it. Now to move on to the Sith Race. I'm debating on letting players play them, but for now I'm just gonna show you the race. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION~~~~ They have Pure Black Skin (Similar to that of a Drow in DnD), Pure Black or White Hair (Lunaris had Pure White and Shekuras had Pure Black), and Blood Red eyes with no Whites of the eye, just Red and the pupil. They aren't particular the Strongest Race ever, but they make up for that in their power in the Dark Side of the force. They are Humanoid in build andd are about the same height and shape as humans aside from a black tail that protrudes from their lower back. PERSONALITY~~~~ The Sith Race is a rather calm race, not jumping to comclusions on anything and prefering to let their subordinates and cohorts handle everything. However, they are usually twisted in the brain and when they get angry, all hell breaks loose. They are naturally great in the Leadership role, and are a very Intelligent race. The way they talk and how they try to relate with people to decieve them, they are naturally agreeable. Homeworld: Korriban Example Names: Lunaris, Shekuras, any Kissai and Massassi names. Languages: Sith and Basic SPECIES TRAITS~~~~ Ability Modifiers: +2 Wis, +2 Cha, -2 Con - The Sith are strong in both sides of the force and are natural born leaders, but are a little fragile when it comes to taking hits. Force Monsters: Sith gain Strong in the Force and Force Boon as bonus feats if they are trained in Use the Force. Conditional Bonus Feat: Sith gain Force Training as a Bonus Feat if the have the Force Sensitivity Feat. Dark Powerhouse: When you train in Force Powers with the [Dark Side] descriptor, you gain an additional use in that force power. Hated: The Sith are hated by most Jedi of the order, and most Jedi will stand at nothing when going against a Sith. Take a -3 penalty to hit and a -3 penalty on damage on opponents trained in one level of Jedi and have no points in Dark Side Score. Comments, questions, concerns? Reply below and say whatever! If you are gonna criticize me, be gentle please.
I in as a player, I got a warhammer 40k game going
I would love to play in your campaign! I'll pm you some questions.
Up to play, or run if I pick the system, own the metaphysics, and the resultant tweakage. Kudos for clarity either way.
Haven't played in this particular setting, but it's d20 so it can't be too hard to pick up. I'd be down to play for sure.
Is this the original, revised, or SAGA edition?
On what day(s) are you expecting to run the game though?
I would be interested if i can make days/time
Well this is just an idea right now. I don't have a set date or time or even full plot. I just wanted to see if anyone enjoyed the idea. We will be using the Saga Edition: Core Rulebook, The KOTOR Guide, Jedi Training Manual, and some others that I can't name right off the bat. If you guys want to go ahead and create a basic idea for your character, I prefer you use Myth Weavers character sheets.
Bump
Dante, I would love to join this campaign!! I have played starwars a lot! have exp playing starwars, DnD, Fireborn, and pretty much any white wolf game! Have been Rping now for bout 10 yrs and am a HUGE starwars GEEK! (Not an understatement, I even know what company manftcd. R2D2) I have Gmd numerous times as well an have run my own campaigns, haven't played in the KOTOR setting yet though(other than the pc and xbox games)so that sounds like fun. Like the story idea u got going, would really like to get in! Dont have a problem with char type I'm pretty flexible. Let me know please!?
Never played star wars saga but I think I'm interested. Does star wars saga allow for dark side of the force characters? If so will you allow them in the party working with the good guys if it comes down to it? (I can think of something) Also really depends on what day/time this is going to be put down on. Edit: Also looking for a very roleplay intensive game. Good combat comes naturally with good roleplaying and such.
I would be interested
Interested, but the momentum is dying panda fast. 
Holy crap, I had no idea I would have this many people interested in joining my half-baked idea for a Star Wars Campaign. I suppose if I am going to do it I may as well start the REAL work on it, eh?
Well, you have someone willing to run, plus it isn't yet another version of 'ebon 'ring sword of the dragon stone scroll rune staff crystal', then you threw in the word Star and added Wars. Chum in the water.
I suppose this has completely fallen through, hasn't it?
