War! The Republic is crumbling under attacks by the ruthless darklord, Count Dooku. There are heroes on both sides. Evil is everywhere. (You know, because it's Ravenloft.)
In a stunning move, Count Dooku has delved into the secret archives of the heretical Sith and summoned Sidious, the archdevil at the heart of their cult.
As Dooku and his fiendish patron play both sides of the war against one another, a group of heavily armed transients must decide how best to tip the scales...
Yes, we are kicking off Star Wars Summer with COUNT DOOKU! Topics discussed include:
- The animated shorts you need to watch if you have no idea why we thought Sneery McSneers-A-Lot would make for a compelling darklord, and a summary of them if you don't have time to check them out;
- The D&D versions of the droid and clone armies (no, the clones don't involve the clone spell, although we did think about it);
- An AU if you would rather make Dooku the center of a paranoid political conspiracy thriller than a war story;
- Our greatest challenge yet for incorporating the older material;
- and more!
