A little over a year ago I found myself a member of the Dark Jedi Brotherhood, a free to join, online Star Wars Club that offers quite a bit to its members. I was fresh out of high school and looking for something to do with my summer. As an avid gamer and Star Wars fan I happened to stumble across the site by accident, when going through wiki’s and websites in search of Star Wars lore. The club is relatively small, with a few hundred members, but it is a family that I am happy to be a part of.
The club offers its members various activities; a member creates a fictional character and can engage in these activities to earn fictional credits, unlocking various items and gear for their character. If fiction is not your thing, there are also gaming and art societies. The gaming society allows you to earn fictional credits through playing approved games with members, but don’t let this restrict you, feel free to use the club as a way to find players for games not approved for club use, just focus on having a good time and enjoying yourself.
I’m not much of an artist unfortunately, and have only done a little work with the graphics/art society. Similar to the gaming and fiction societies, competitions will be held in which a member can participate to earn fictional credits.
Another thing worth noting about the club is the organization present. The club is split into 7 clans each having anywhere from 29-51 members. Each clan is based around a theme or idea from Star Wars; examples including Clan Naga Shadow as an Ancient Sith Empire and Clan Vizsla as a group of Mandalorian bounty hunters. Regardless of clan, the people within the Brotherhood form a community which encourages individual and creative thought through its various societies, and offer an enjoyable experience to those who give the club a chance.
Personally, I have had a wonderful experience with the Brotherhood and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys Star Wars media, or is looking for a great group of people to game, write, and create art with.
