No. It was for a Star Wars roleplay but not a video game. It started life in the newsgroup de.rec.sf.starwars

Ah, ok, nice! Was that the old D6 version, or the newer D20 one?

and I played the role of Emperor.

You dark person you! ๐Ÿ˜œ

No set rules, just goofing around. When we got too annoying for the rest of the newsgroup we moved to a mailing list and met up in real life a bunch of times.

First time my father flew me there in a small sports plane. They had gotten the permission to greet me on the air field with a limousine blasting the Force Commander remix of the Imperial March and a black carpet. All the Jedi, Sith and in-betweens were waving Emperor-flags and greeted me as was befitting a man of my status.

Did I mention that I was 14 at the time and everyone else about 30?

Good times.
