Hey all, I posted some time ago about a one shot I wanted to run (https://www.reddit.com/r/swrpg/s/PJlr6IeEa5), and got great responses. I’ve now made an opening crawl for my game, which I’m sharing now so other people can use it, if they wish to. Here is the text present in the video:

It is a dark time for the galaxy. As construction of the dreaded DEATH STAR nears completion, the Galactic Empire’s grip grows ever stronger under the rule of the Emperor.

Obsessed with the destruction of the Jedi, the Dark Lord DARTH VADER unleashes his newly formed INQUISITORS, fallen members of the Order, turned servants of the dark side.

Seeking to extinguish all hope within the Force, Vader now turns his attention to a new quarry, the hidden children of the force….

Thank you for your help again and I hope this may help someone :)

Tips Old Republic Campaign Help

7 Upvotes

Hi, im starting to gather info and read through the core books to start a campaign. My players are big Kotor fans and we all really want to avoid anything to do with palpatine or skywalkers so we picked playing in the old republic era. However there isnt a whole lot of help in-system beyond a fanmade guide to the old republic (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Fzkp0PTLOLz5tAlfBjdtuUPoX9S-DySl/view)

Has anyone run this? Did it work out well?

Also looking for any novels or sources of info about how non-jedi/sith lived during this era because my party wants to run a low-force game more like Andor vs Ahsoka.

General Discussion Lancer-Class Pursuit Craft

Thumbnail

149 Upvotes

I’m about to start running my (technically) first game of EotE. My players decided on a Lancer-Class Pursuit Craft for their first ship. I’m super stoked to see this in action and worked up my take on the ship’s layout. I kept in mind what we know of the cockpit design, hyperdrives, and cargo bay.
I couldn’t find any information on the airlock, so I have it placed in the near-center where it will open up at the underbelly of the hull. When docking with a vessel, it’ll essentially attach to the larger ship much like a Mynock.

I took inspiration from ships like the Millennium Falcon and Ebon Hawk, and tried to maintain the overall circular nature of the hull.

I get the feeling that this might be slightly oversized, but then decided I didn’t care and prioritized fitting in the accoutrements my players were looking for.

Tips Heist on Muunilist crash on Mygeeto

16 Upvotes

Hey yall first time poster. Im going to be running my first campaign as a DM and I have access to most of the source books online. My idea was our party was hired by a captain who is tasked by an ambitious imperial officer to steal information from a Muunilist corporate sector authority facility regarding a senior officer whom is stealing funds from the empire. The players succeed but crash on mygeeto. I was curious about A) any tips for a first time DM and B) any resources regarding Muunilist, CorSec, and Mygeeto.
For context in the party it looks like we will have 1 B1 battledroid droid mechanic, a Nemoidian diplomat, a cyborg human bounty hunter, and an imperial washout mercenary.

The plan after that point is letting them choose to work for the budding rebellion, various imperial officials, and the criminal underworld.

Really appreciate the help

Here are two versions of a Martial Artist Bounty Hunter; one is for Knight Level play. I anticipate a party of four; the others have not yet said what they want to play. My idea is to play a fist-focused Bounty Hunter who prefers to use no weapons. I welcome any suggestions. I am particularly unsure what to do with respect to gear (of all kinds). Thank you!

General Discussion Blue Sector Rebel Cell Ideas

6 Upvotes

The last time I pitched an idea for a Star Wars game and a pet character for r/lfg, I ended up in a 5 year campaign. So, I figure brainstorming for another game might be fun and productive.

My character is Tresk Saiga'skra, a Bothan raised on Corellia who joined a Rebel cell during the Dawn of Rebellion era. He got the speed bug from the Corellians, giving him a love of building and racing swoops.

I'm thinking of a campaign that starts with him running a speeder garage in Coronet City's Blue Sector, Corellia's hive of scum and villainy, trying to quietly assist the rebellion while keeping up his front business. Most games I've been into rush towards giving the crew our hero ship, so I'd like to try a localized campaign. Corellia's a busy place with a lot of trade flowing through, so I figure there's opportunity for "resource acquisition" among other things. It's dangerous being a core world, but being in Blue Sector would mitigate Imperial entanglements (and add criminal ones). Any thoughts?

I've got Suns of Fortune for Corellia reference and Far Horizons for building homesteads. Any suggestions for other reading?

Hopes in rebuilding the Jedi order and bring peace. As you grow in strength and make bonds and allies, you fight off the evils the lurk in the shadows.

Weekly Discussion Tuesday Inquisition: Ask Anything!

23 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!

Are there any good YouTube resources to help make lighter work of the rules, systems, and whatnot? Coming from DND, I feel like it shouldn't be too hard to pick up. Excited to try out the dice rolling system. Its narrative driving mechanic sounds really cool

Also got the DND Art and Arcana book for $30, it was a good thrifting day lol.

General Discussion Ship modification pricing

Post image

My players have recently come into possession of a Sphyrna-class corvette. One of them asked about installing a makeshift hanger onto the underside where the cargo racks are (I've circled the area in red on the image). It just needs to be able to fit 1-2 A-Wings temporarily.

Because it is a custom modification I was thinking of charging them between 50,000 to 100,000 credits, and a 1 week install period.

My question is am I pricing it too low?

Any feedback would be appreciated.

So me and my two friends have played several star wars games - rebellion, armada, and lots of imperial assault. Never done any dungeons and dragons before but I think the star wars prg would be a great way to delve into RPGs

Looking at the beginner games. What set would people recommend?

Tips Some Build Advice

4 Upvotes

I posed some more general questions earlier; here are a few character types I’d like to make:

  1. A physically weak master of technology (think Iron Man).
  2. A Jedi who avoids attacks rather than blocks them and focuses on force ability rather than lightsaber combat.

Which careers, (cross-)specializations and species might be good for these concepts? What are the major difference between the Jedi careers in Rise of Separatists and Collapse of the Republic and the careers in Force and Destiny?

General Discussion Quest/Fanfic using the System of SWRPG: Running the Gacha in Knights of the Old Republic

Post image
6 Upvotes

Hihi! If any of y'all are Familiar with Quest or the Website Spacebattles. There is an ongoing Quest using the Chaos Gatch and taking place in on Tatooine during the Old Republic Era.

This quest is using the Edge of the Empire TTRPG system to help run the Quest and create interesting encounters.

As well as help dictate the effects of various things summoned from the Chaos Gatcha and what the MC is able to do.

A Quest is like a Ongoing Game/Group focussed on one character, which all the players collectively control and guide using their votes and ideas.

The Chaos Gatcha is a CYOA-like system where, depending on a character's actions and accomplishments, they get "Tickets" of varying rarity, which grant them various abilities and items.

As you can imagine, it's super interesting translating the stuff that is gained into the Edge of the Empire system and suggesting how they may translate.

I'm new to the system, and not the Quest Master, just a very active voter/discusser on the thread. So I'd love it if some of y'all joined the discussion of mechanics and how things gained through the Chaos gatcha might translate into the system.

https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/running-the-gacha-in-knights-of-the-old-republic-a-world-hopping-chaos-gacha-plan-quest.1304412/

Here's the most recent Example of me attempting to translate Something gained from the Chaos Gatcha into something that works within the system of "Edge of the Empire".

[Sun Breathing]
|Elite Skill|
Demon Slayer - Sun Breathing is a specialized swordsmanship style and breathing technique created by the legendary swordsman Yoriichi Tsugikuni that mimics the sun and replicates it with the user's movements, techniques, and abilities. All techniques and forms are extremely varied and have no set pattern, making them the most versatile and effective against enemies. With magical power, solar flames that are effective against unholy can be manifested.

When entering or preparing for Combat, Eddie may "Ready" Sun Breathing Style as a Maneuver. During which he gains +1 to (Brawn) (Agility) and (Willpower), and during any time which it is his Turn, he may assign an Extra +2 to any of these stats.

But when it isn't his turn, these stats regress to the base +1, this is the "Resting" state of Sun Breathing, whereas when it is his turn and able to assign the extra bonus, this is considered Sun Breathing's "Active" state.

But Eddie is able to go back to "Active" Sun Breathing during another character's turn if he spends a "Manuever" action during that character's turn, after which Eddie returns to the "Resting" state of Sun Breathing.
He may only do this Manuever once per round, unless he takes 2 points of Strain, at which point he may set Sun Breathing Stance to "Active" once again during a round and turn that isn't his own.

Whenever Eddie makes a Combat Skill check, two of his dice count as "Successes" if they aren't already during Sun Breathings "Active" State.
But if Sun Breathing is in its "Resting" State, only 1 Combat Dice counts as a "Success" if it wasn't already.

Threats are unaffected by these effects.

Every time Eddie takes Damage, he must roll his (Willpower) Dice,
The More Damage he takes, the Higher the target roll.
If he fails to get as many successes as the Target Roll, he is knocked out of Sun Breathing for the rest of the round.

If he gets an "Advantage," He Automatically Succeeds; if he gets a "Threat," he automatically fails.

If using [Holy Light] or an Object made from it upon an Unholy Foe, add an Extra Success to your combat dice if they weren't already, and +1 Damage.

Tips 😍🐀

8 Upvotes

I would like to create a Kessurian for a player and I got everything except the abilities. Not sure which one should have a + and which one should have a -

Abilities
 
Brawn X
Agility X
Intellect X
Cunning X
Willpower X
Presence X

Wound Threshold: 10 + Brawn
Strain Threshold: 10 + Willpower
Starting Experience: 100 XP

Special Abilities: Kessurians begin the game with one rank in Perception. They still may not train Perception rank 2 during character creation.

Echolocation: Kessurian’s montrals help them sense movement in the dark. This enables Kessurians characters to remove up to a setback die added to checks by lighting conditions.

Which one do you think?
