Do you think players would enjoy a game where all of their characters were clones?

No because they want to be speshul snowflakes

Yes

Republic clones used to be different from one to another.

Some of them even went rogue and betrayed the republic.

Could be a nice twist in Paranoia.

Have you seen how much Veeky Forums wanks over the Death Korps of Krieg?

Stop posting this thread.

do they have snake powers as all clones do?

We already had this thread. The answer was 'it depends on the players, the setting, and what kind of clones'.

there would be a fight over who gets to bang the cute Jedi girl

Star wars clones would be kickass. Alternatively, they are all facets of a wizard's personality that accidentally broke apart from him after some crazy magic accident.

Do you mean just Star Wars clonetroopers, or clones in general? Because Paranoia is a thing...

And Friend Computer would like to remind you that not liking Paranoia makes you commie traitor

Every month till you love it.

exactly

All hail Friend Computer.
I wish to report the clone known as (OP) for treason in that he has either:
a) provided cloning technology to traitors and/or commies (evidenced by his post not specifically referencing Friend Computer's rightful ownership and use of that technology)
or
b) treasonably suggested that inferior commie cloning techniques are a match for those perfected by Friend Computer.

I would

>Implying they wouldn't just each use a hole
Come on man

Friendly reminder that clones are little more than artificially inseminated identical twins, and therefore not the same person.

Friendly reminder that, as much as the Star Wars prequels suck, RedLetterMedia's comment about how the Storm Troopers can't all be clones because they have small talk makes no sense.

Friendly reminder that sci-fi routinely botches the concept of clones and therefore generates a massive scare around what isn't scary at all.

it depends on the players, the setting, and what kind of clones

Episode 3 was good though

Friendly reminder that rlm is shit and practically all clones were gone from the Imperial military by the time of a new hope

None of the prequels were good. The least bad was Phantom Menace, but it still isn't good by any measure.

Is that some EU stuff? If so, care to explain why that happened? Why move away from clones when they're cheaper and easier to justify than "real" human deaths? Clones are effectively an unpaid warrior caste nobody cares about, right?

Its both EU and Canon.
EU = Kamino tried to rebel with a clone trooper army and was had it's facilities destoyed. Stormtrooper corps opened up for volouteers as the clones got older.

Canon = Stormtrooper corps opened up for volouteers as the clones got older. You don't get more of an explanation, buy our rebels merch.

according to BF2 the 501st was still serving up until Hoth

Does that mean they all have the same statline?

For as callous as the Empire was, it always saw them more as a caste of dedicated soldiers whose condition of rapid aging was an unfortunate sacrifice they had to make in order to be active in time for the CW. Clones got to retire and were presumably treated like any other human - certainly better than non-human species, at any rate.

Not sure on EU, but it's certainly canon now. Case and point, Star Wars rebels has stormtrooper training facilities full of normal recruits from the populace of various worlds.

And really, ensuring that your populace has investment in the survival of your empire by ensuring a lot of young men are working for you is good, and is also easier to spin for propaganda when they lose. Clones require a lot of money to make and are seen as disposable, so the Empire using those would just displace all of those young men who would ordinarily join the army, and also make people care less when the empire loses a battle.

As others have said, being a clone doesn't necessarily mean the same personality or even the same physique (unless everyone's a flash-clone brought up in the same environment or rapid-aged / suddenly-created in the same manner, you could have one 'clone' be fairly skinny and frail and another a brick shit house, depending on various matters).

That said, if everyone's character was a clone I would imagine it ties heavily into the story in some way and so "Would the players enjoy it" depends very much on "How good is the DM at story telling" as the game is going to be defined less by interesting encounters or rule mastery and more thematics.

Probably the same base statline with a few points to throw at something else to indicate training

practically all clones =/= absolutely all

that is the smallest panty slip I've ever seen. still, nice white panties on that jedi

I know nothing of expanded lore, but the Empire would be foolish to still use clone soldiers at all. Or, at least, use them openly.

It's part of the psychology of consolidating power and maintaining a dictatorship: you engineer a new, better social and political class for those most loyal to the ruling body, often incorporating compulsory military service if subjects want to receive the full benefits citizenship. Even if someone would start off not being super into it, their life will at least seemingly begin to be improved while they're also constantly congratulated for being part of what their government insists is the morally superior and inherently better group of people. After enough time they forget what it's like to live outside of that, becoming basically institutionalized.

Additionally the Clone Army were a tool of the crooked and weak past leadership of the Republic, and more to the point of the treasonous Jedi Order.

hell yeah they would!

Generic clones? No way.
ARC Troopers and Clone Commandos? Try and stop us clanker scum.

Nice pantsu spot.

>The Clone Wars animations with a dubious relationship to SW canon are objectively better than the prequel movies
Why is this allowed?

Kriegs ain't clones, they're test tube babies.

Excellent work citizen. Unfortunately, OP's treasonous behavior is Code PURPLE intelligence which you do not have clearance for. Now that you have finished your report, please report to the nearest euthanasia booth

All of the remaining clones were serving under Vader in the 501. Kamino and it's technology were destroyed by the Emperor, to prevent anyone from doing to HIM what he did to the Republic. Furthermore, a citizen army would be more effective in making the populace loyal and dependent on the Empire
