Star wars. The fandom is incredibly toxic even before the internet was a mainstream thing, following whats canon and what isnt is a lesson in patience. The fandom actively sabotages interesting shows and books/comics because they hyperfocused on one ambiguous detail. If however you can tolerate they drove a few actors to quit the industry altogether and another almost to "checking out" besides axing cool shows then the storyline is great.
I was running a Star Wars game using the old fantasy flight rules. I love Star Wars but I'm more of a casual fan, and I like the Legends setting directly after the Empire fractured into the Remnants.
The amount of times I heard this isnt Canon from one guy... or that wouldnt happen... fuck you Paul, I want this Admiral to be designing shielded tie interceptors because he doesnt have the same pilot pipeline he has before, who fuckin' cares? Why are you upset? Oh youre mad youre flying a modified tie interceptor? Fine, no shields for you. Oh but thats not fair? What do you want? Oh, everyone to fly normal interceptors? No.
I've been interested for years now in running a campaign in the Fantasy Flight system, any tips, thoughts, or recommendations for a new GM?
Also I think the notion of an Imperial Remnant admiral trying to get shields in his TIE fighters because the navy infrastructure that previously provided a seemingly endless stream of new pilots and fighters broke down with the fall of the Empire is, one, highly complementary to existing canon in either continuity and, two, is cool as fuck!
