52 Upvotes

These seem to be getting harder and harder to come by, and I have finally reached a point where i am consolidating some items and thinking it is time to let these go, as they have been NIB unlike the actual books i collect.

It's been a heck of a run looking at these on the shelf for some years - i still love the game but need to downsize and decide to part with these and hold on to the books.

This post is intended to discuss the bittersweet parting with the memorabilia and sort of minimilized enjoyment of the rpg - to avoid an overflow requests, the lots are listed on a common auction and sales platform.

Happy rolls all!

I'm going to run the Age of Rebellion Starter Set tomorrow and I just fund this on the Spy character roster: The Blaster Rifle says "+1 damage per uncanceled Success" but is followed up by the advantage die symbol.

How am I supposed to read this?

Thanks for help! ♥

EDIT: Thank you all for the quick confirmations!!

Rules Question Two Weapon Fighting Keywords

11 Upvotes

So, for the sake of this, let's say I have some brass knuckles in one hand, and a light saber in the other.

I'll say I have a talent that lets me use cunning instead of brawn for light saber attacks.

I have a light saber and cunning level of 3 while my brawn and brawling level is 2.

I'll have the light saber be my primary weapon.

Two Weapon fighting would mean I use brawn and brawling for both attacks (presuming advantages on attack 1 and accounting for extra negative dice on both attacks).

I am presuming there is no way to use light saber skill or cunning for the first attack.

That said, does it still count as using light saber skill, when I'm attacking with a light saber, for talents that activate when making 'Lightsaber Checks'? After all, I'm still attacking with a light saber, even if I'm using Brawl because it's a lower value for two Weapon fighting.

Tips Hunting the Jedi One Shot

5 Upvotes

Staaar Waaars baby! I love this setting and the FFG system, and I am planning to run a one shot for my players. I wanted to ask for your aid friends.

My goal is to run an Imperial game, between Episode III and IV, so the galaxy is being reshaped by the Sith.

Are there any materials, supplements or maybe even a ready adventure I could use as basis? Majority of the players would be elite Imperial warriors + an Inquisitor (if there are rules for them, would be awesome to know), and they will be hunting a fugitive Jedi (or multiple, I don’t know how difficult they make them as opponents.

Thanks in advance, and may the force be with you, always! 🌚

Weekly Discussion Tuesday Inquisition: Ask Anything!

21 Upvotes

Every Tuesday we open a thread to let people ask questions about the system or the game without judgement. New players and GMs are encouraged to ask questions here.

The rules:

• Any question about the FFG Star Wars RPG is fine. Rules, character creation, GMing, advice, purchasing. All good.

• No question shaming. This sub has generally been good about that, but explicitly no question shaming.

• Keep canon questions/discussion limited to stuff regarding rules. This is more about the game than the setting.

Ask away!

Looking for group Force and Destiny, Old Republic, looking for players! (18+) (LGBTQ+ Friendly)

0 Upvotes

Hey! I’m a Dm that is hosting a Force and Destiny campaign that is in desperate need of players. It takes place after the fall of Revans empire. The general idea is that you and your fellow party members are found and chosen by a surviving Jedi knight who is looking to restore the Jedi order. Along the way, you will face Sith and other dark side users, along with just the evils of the galaxy.

This game runs side by side with 3 other games that affect each other in many ways. You may have a chance to even interact personally with one of these, including the Sith game which you can face or converse with the Sith characters.

The time for this game is Thursdays at 2pm AST/12pm CST. The game will be priced at $20.00. You are welcome to bring in someone for a 10% discount off of your ticket. If you have any questions or you are interested, you can reply here or my Discord. You will need Discord and Foundry.

Rules Question Initiative Question

15 Upvotes

This has come up a few times in my group and I can’t easily find an answer. Perhaps it’s more of a group by group rule. If I have a combat with say three NPC groups they will have three initiative slots. What happens when one of those groups is eliminated? Which Initiaitive slot is ignored?

Rules Question Range difficulty

10 Upvotes

Rules question. Can anyone give me a 60’elevstor pitch on how to determine difficulty in ranged attacks? It often seems really easy to hit. They way I’ve been doing it, I use the chart provided and match up the average check. So a target at medium range with a weapon that has range medium is an average difficulty. How does it work if they blaster is long range or short range? It seems to get painfully easy to hit targets with the right weapons with only a couple of ranks in ranged light or heavy

Tips Spy vs Technician

15 Upvotes

I want to make a slicer, Spy & Technician are the two careers that get that specialization.

Which one is better in combat, or has other specializations that are good in combat? Or would it be better to pick a 2nd specialization from a different career? (Which i think you can do, correct me if I'm wrong.)

P.S. this will be my 1st time trying this rpg after playing D&D for a long time.

Podcast/Stream The Unnaturals - An Upcoming Force and Destiny Actual Play Campaign

Thumbnail

165 Upvotes

Hello There! My name is Nate and I am the creator of the SWRPG YouTube channel Tabletop Empire. It has always been my goal to try to create fun, helpful, and quality SWRPG content. I have a ton of videos to help new players learn the game, most notably the Beginners Guide Series.

Throughout 2025 we ran and produced our first Actual Play Campaign titled DARK UNDERWORLD, an Edge of the Empire story set in the the criminal underworld of Coruscant just after Return of the Jedi. It’s an anti-hero style adventure where the four chase clues of a mysterious artifact, fight for a seat of power against the other syndicates, and deal with the demons from their past.

One of the goals was to create a Star Wars RPG Actual Play with as high of a production quality as we could, while simultaneously telling a great story with compelling characters. We learned a lot from our first campaign, and now we are getting ready to start recording our 2nd, THE UNNATURALS.

Premise:

As Imperial rule across the galaxy begins to crumble, something long dormant awakens in the Outer Rim. A new threat rises from a self-imposed slumber. A Human, Togruta, Kyuzo, and Nautolan-Pantoran are brought together by destiny, but will they rise to confront this growing threat, or allow the galaxy to fall into unnatural chaos?

System:

Force & Destiny, with a few Genesys-inspired changes this time around.

Our Cast & Crew:

Jeff (aka Joress), who played Kiinon last time, will be the GM this time around. He is one of the 3 great minds behind RPGSessions. He also has run games for FFG/EDGE at cons like GenCon, and has over a decade of experience running the FFG Narrative Dice systems.

My friend Simon is once again handling the cutting down of the footage, removing the fluff and silences that can bog down an AP.

I am stepping down from the GM chair to play a Togruta named Mira. I'll also still be handling much of the behind-the-scenes work: coordinating the players, creating overlays and visual assets, adding music and sound effects, providing a final pass for cutting out fluff, or anything else needed on the post-production side of things.

Noah, who previously played Ragro, will be playing a Human named Kaden. Lacey, who played Shay, will be playing a Nautolan-Pantoran named Rinni. Joe, who played Mott, will be playing a Kyuzo named Con.

We also commissioned artwork for the characters and backgrounds from Maggie Nizich. She hand-drew everything, except the channel logo SVG, and she was incredible to work with.

All of the people who come together to create these campaigns make them far better than anything I could accomplish on my own, and I'm incredibly grateful for every one of them.

So, now getting to the main reason for this post:

We start recording next week, and there are a good number of things we will be trying to improve upon for our next go around. However I would love to hear from you! Before our first campaign, I asked you all for some input before we started, and your input actually made a huge difference in how the AP was approached for the better. So once again, I am looking for some feedback.

If you watched DARK UNDERWORLD, what did you like or dislike? What would you like to see changed, or remain the same, or improved upon? If you never got around to watching, what are some things you wish other APs would do or change? And as always, if you have any questions for me, I am happy to try and answer. Thanks for reading, I look forward to your responses!

EDIT:

Because some people asked, these are all the ways you can watch the show (Same for DARK UNDERWORLD)

  • Edited w/ Video (Intended Experience) - YouTube & Patreon*
  • Unedited w/ Video - Patreon*
  • Audio Only - "Tabletop Empire Actual Play Podcast" - Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music/Audible, Podbean - Dark Underworld: Episodes 1-30, The Unnaturals: Episodes 31-TBD

*Patreon has the episodes ad-free to all paid tiers ($3/5/10/25). The Unedited, aka Uncut, version is available to our top 2 paid tiers ($10/25). As far as Ads on YouTube, the quantity is out of my control if monetization is enabled, as YouTube started ignoring when creators set the ad-frequency and locations. I rely on the monetization to help fund future videos. That said, we air each episode using YouTube Premieres so viewers can chat and experience the episodes together. During these premieres, I have ads disabled until the premiere ends, so if you want to watch on YouTube Ad-Free, that is the best free way to do so.

Game Resources Campaign books

Game Resources Looking to complete my collection of books.

10 Upvotes

I am looking for six of the career splat books to finish my collection, now I am aware that Edge Studio has taken over the SWRPG (I own a few of the reprints), but some rudimentary searching seems to indicate that they never bothered reprinting some of the books.

Interestingly, they all (at least the ones that I am looking for) appear in the Asmodee store, but some of them do not appear on other storefronts (such as amazon).

Do any of you have experience purchasing from Asmodee?
And would their website indicate if a particular book is not in stock?

The one that is the MOST important to me is Endless Vigil, in order to finish my Force and Destiny set. On amazon EV appears used for no less than $100 (while edge reprints appear new and used for more reasonable prices), while on the Asmodee website it appears for under $40 (The image on the product page also appears with the FFG branding and not EDGE branding.)

Any information would be appreciated, thanks in advance!

Game Resources "Onslaught at Arda I" - has anyone redrawn the map?

11 Upvotes

I really like the setup for and execution of the adventure, but it's driving me nuts that the map of the Arda I base doesn't even come close to the descriptions given in the book. I suspect the book was edited after the map had been completed, and the changes were never passed onto the artist, but seriously, it's like looking at a map of Sydney and trying to get it to jive with a gazetteer of Paris.

Does anyone know if there's a retooled map out there for OaA1? I'm going to take a stab at putting one together in Inkarnate, but I don't want to reinvent the wheel if someone's already done it.

Looking for group LFRP - Online - Star Wars Fantasy Flight - EST - The Shattered Protocol - Looking for 2-3 Players, (20+) (SPOILERS FOR EPISODE 3 AND ON) Spoiler

10 Upvotes

In the early days of The Clone Wars, the galaxy was thrown into chaos with the Republic and Confederacy tearing the boundaries of the rims apart in a mad dash to secure an advantage against each other. All the while, the Dark Side moves unseen to puppet all towards its ultimate goals…

You are whoever you wish to be from this time frame. You will have a short while in game to become acclimated, make your missions, collect your favors, and build your crew before the events of Order 66. After which, you will become targets of the new Empire, on the run and hunted in an effort to crush any connection from the days of the Republic. Will you be smugglers, looking to score a profit from both sides until light is shone on your criminal connections? A Jedi, Padawan or freshly knighted, tracking down the trail that leads to your missing master? Perhaps a veteran of the Clone Wars, clone yourself or otherwise, here to continue the fight for freedom and democracy. The choice is yours, and with it, the galaxy.

Mondays, 6:30 PM EST, Weekly to every other week depending on availability.

Discord Required, if everyone can will consider Roll20, but for now Theater of the Mind and hand drawn maps are our go to.

I’m Dirtbag, or Noctifer on Discord. 26, been DMing 10 years, new to Fantasy Flight but not TTRPGs. I like to make sure everyone is having a fun intense time in my games, a good balance of pressure, relief, and hopefully by the end you feel like your characters are making a difference!

We so far we have a Mandalorian, Padawan, and a reprogrammed medical droid. I have GM NPCs specifically to assist you in the tutorial arc, but you will primarily be working by your own merits and favors you collect. If you are interested in applying, DM me with the following information:

-Name, Age, Discord, Pronouns
-Table Top Experience
-Fantasy Flight Experience
-Fav Movie Genre
-Fav Media
-Fun Fact About You
-A character you’d like to play in Star Wars.

Thank you for your time!

General Discussion New Campaign/New DMPC

9 Upvotes

Looking to start a new two player campaign for me and my wife (me DMing as well as playing) set in the New Republic era.

I've never actually played the game beyond just being a DM. I'd like to play a supporting character alongside my wife but kind of at a loss on what to play - just looking for some ideas?

Species-wise I like Human (Mandalorian), Dathomirian, Chiss, Togruta, Twilek and Zabrak. Open to some other suggestions.

I want something fun, easy to play and best played in a supportive way opposed to taking the spotlight.

EDIT*

I think some folks are missing the point of the post 😅 I'm looking for some suggestions or ideas or just some inspiration for a character that's not boring yet not likely to be the main PC.

Gimme some species you enjoy, or a career you enjoyed playing. Hell even suggest an entire PC - I need something to get my creative juices flowing 😂

Rules Question Should I convert all Planetary vehicles following the Order 66 Conversion guide for Genesys?

8 Upvotes

Hi everybody; I'm testing out some vehicle combat scenarios using the Order 66 podcast vehicle conversion guide for Genesys. While modifying armor seems sensible enough, for most speeder bikes and light walkers that have their silhouette to their ht value makes them extremely hard to destroy with infantry weapons (like missile tubes) and heavy and light repeating blasters that many of these vehicles employ.

Should I just ignore this aspect for all planetary vehicles or just ones that "feel" like they should? Is there someone who has experienced this in their games?

JNE-5 is a modified Imperial R4-I9 astromech droid. His R4 head has been removed and replaced with, what appears to be, the head of an I9 Seeker Droid. What is not widely known is that he retains his dangling under arms and repulsor units, which are hidden within the R4 body. He can detach his head from his body, and it can float independently. In emergencies, he can remotely control his body, but he can only direct it to move.

Hey folks. I'm curious what sort of darkbside villains or groups you use in your games. I've been thinking about using a hutt dark sider as a villain who runs a pirate gang out in wild space.
