“Kid, I’ve flown from one side of this galaxy to the other. I’ve seen a lot of strange stuff, but I’ve never seen anything to make me believe there’s some all-powerful force controlling everything. There’s no mystical energy field that controls my destiny.” ~ Han Solo ~
It is a dark time for those strong in the Force. Lacking the Jedi Order to guide them, Force-sensitives wander the galaxy, persecuted by the Empire and vulnerable to the lure of the dark side, searching for the remnants of Jedi teaching that are scattered across the stars. In Chronicles of the Gatekeeper, the holocron of a mysterious, vanished Jedi Knight surfaces. Its Gatekeeper offers to instruct you in an incredible Force power, if you’re willing to follow where the holocron leads. But great power is always a double-edged blade, and this power is great enough to corrupt even the most stalwart soul.
Chronicles of the Gatekeeper launches players on an interstellar quest with the promise of being able to see into the future and predict not only events, but even the specific actions and decisions of other sentients. But throughout the adventure you encounter the dark shadows of the past. You may visit a derelict and remote Jedi sanctuary, abandoned for decades and flooded with seawater. A man given temporary power in the time of the Republic eventually oppressed and harmed the people he was meant to protect, so that they still live in fear. A once lush and verdant planet is now devoid of life and natural resources, permanently ravaged by millennia of reckless consumption and ruthless destruction.
You will also encounter the lingering traces of the Clone Wars. A city that was hotly contested during those years still bears battle scars. The districts that saw the worst fighting are now abandoned and left to ruin. Aging Clone Troopers who once fought alongside Jedi now serve the Empire. Battle droids and armored droidekas from the Clone Wars are still operational and still lethal, able to unleash tremendous salvos of blaster fire and instantaneously deal critical hits at long range. Supremely well-aimed shots and masterful lightsaber work are the only ways to defeat these deadly machines.
This beautifully illustrated sourcebook introduces locations throughout the Star Wars galaxy, a new playable species, and a wide range of adversaries from local matriarchs and Clone Wars-era droids to sadistic criminals and vicious wild beasts. Designed to be used with the Force and Destiny Roleplaying Game, Chronicles of the Gatekeeper can also easily be integrated into an Age of Rebellion or Edge of the Empire campaign so that players can explore the theme of the Force, or so that Force-sensitive characters can develop their abilities.
