Watching the new star wars movies made me want to run a SW game. What are you guy's favorites?
>>44378368
Imperial Assault was fun, but we don't play it much anymore.
>inb4 the thread gets covered in X-wing player spunk
>>44378368
i'll be bloody honest....see below
>>44379263
you. i like you. but what i'm about to say might piss you off.
here's my Favorites:
--West End RPG. it was off center, but in those days, it was what we had...and, we made LEGENDS with that shit.
--the Decipher round1 card game...the one where each card was a force point.
--X-Wing, but i have to say, you gotta fix obstacles rules, and only play with Big Ships if on a 8x6 table or something with 12' deep deploy zones...
--D20 star wars needed mods, we modded it a lot
--the WotC plastic mini's game was evil...fuck, was it evil.... at least it had the only Basilisk War-Droid Models in the universe.
--i haven't played a lot of the new shit, post 2010-ish.
there has never been a perfect Star Wars game.
i guess all the real star wars game talk is over in the Star Wars General...
know where to find it?
>>44378368
I'd like to play a game were we're all ex-Imperials during the new movie's time. Like, we're the senior staff of a Star Destroyer that has told the First Oder "fuck off, we're not interested", and we're just surviving on the rim.
>>44378368
>you will never see an entire game devoted to TR-8R tier stormtroopers and their merciless ass kicking during imperial campaigns
>>44381689
awwwww, man, now i have to go make this a thing...
>>44381421
I like it.
>>44381689
Can you not shit up yet another thread?
>>44381421
I wanted to play a game set more during the prequel's time. Maybe not during the Clone wars but before.
An idea I had for a character once would have been a Jedi that was taught outside the temple. Mystics of a race that were force sensitive. One line being taught by a Jedi that had left the order some time ago and began a direct line of teacher to students of the force.
I'm about to join my first Star Wars D20 game, anyone have character art I could use for inspiration?
>>44384809
Would my GM flip his shit If I'd show up with a furry weaboo midget as my next character?
I heard that the universe has several furry races so It won't be a stretch, right?
I just want to play a sassy, furry, cute skillmonkey
>>44386985
>Would my GM flip his shit
How the fuck should we know you pathetic fuck?
>>44378368
I have used GURPS and it worked pretty well. The powers are pretty easy to do since they all exist in some form or another in the books, though if you want something that handles some sort of Light/Dark or Law/Chaos balance within the system itself I wouldn't do it.
We did a game of a six man Imperial Commando squadwith a Sith adjacent set back during the old republic. Went pretty well until they accidentally the whole ship.
>>44384163
what, anon? that was actually a good idea.
Has anyone tried running a Star Wars game with FATE? I'm toying with an idea of making a four-player all Jedi campaign, I'd like as little crunch as possible, and I've run a succesfull soft SF game with FATE before.
>>44386985
> furry weaboo midget
The way you're presenting it doesn't sound hopeful. Drop the weeaboo, and you might be in with a chance, depends on your GM.
>sassy, furry, cute skillmonkey
Much better.
>>44381421
Amazing idea! What would the greater plot be though? Take down the FO? Or destroy the new republic and re-claim the mantle?
Pazaak was actually pretty fun.
>>44379378
Trying to improve D20 systems is a waste of time. They are all shit.
GURPS, WEG D6 or Edge of the Empire all work very well and need no additional work.
Someone post the TRAITOR fight.
>>44384809
Oookay, I guess this is the SW image dump thread then
>>44388704
I've playdd a Smugglers and Bounty Hunters game with FATE and it worked perfectly. Don't know about Jedi, but it can work I think.

Good ole WEG's "Star Wars D6". You might want to mod it a bit, especially if you want a Jedi-centric campaign, but it's still the best SW RPG out there.

They live their lives following the same routines they would follow If the Empire was still up.
They know they don't really have to but subconciously they are still always ready to salute and give full report at any point of any given day. They think in mental journals.
Whenever they encounter a problem they are automatically informing their superior (or whoever that can even vaguely fit the criteria) about It before attempting to solve It
For example, an ex-Imperial is using a public transport
>Driver, Sir! It appears that the window here is not airtight enough!
>I'm sorry, sir. I know this is not the best transporter around. We usually cover the thing with that cloth there
>Sir! Permission to use the cloth!
>Geeze, guy, stop yelling, please
>SIR YES SIRBasically you want Sousuke Sagara

We had one.It was a major show of incompetence
Highlights of the game included sergeant failing at reading the map, resulting in the squad breaking in the local bounty hunter guild via demolition charges instead of the cantina where the rebs were supposed to be hiding (14 bodybags including one player), shooting an escaping rebel transport with a one-in-a-million-years shot, sending it to crash into the local marketplace (~150 bodybags), and failing to prevent the rebel cell from stealing the power core of the ancient superweapon; said superweapon being instable once its power source is removed, we lost the excavation site (9 bodybags - 5 rebel elite commandos and the full party). It was still considered an imperial victory since we were actually pretty good at digging intel and exposing traitors outside of combat, and rooted out a good chunk of the Alliance network on the planet. Except that time when we executed a pair of undercover ISB agents.
Try it, it's easy to do an imperial Edge of the Empire/Age of Rebellion game
>>44378515
They just released a new campaign box for Imperial Assault. It's called Return to Hoth.
3 new heroes, including a Mon Calamari sniper (pic related) and droid medic.
Snowtroopers, Wampas, HK Assassin Droids and other new enemies.
Bigger and better missions, from the looks of things.
If campaign mode isn't your thing, there is lots of new skirmish content, including 4-player rules. There is one four-player free-for-all mission and one two-vs-two mission. FFG also recently errataed (read: nerfed) the figures that were causing a stale skirmish meta.

Frownius Maximus challenges you to a drag race.
>>44378368
I'm not really up to date on the new lore, but in the old one my favorite idea would be to play as Imperials not long after Endor. Do you go independent, hook up with other warlords or stay loyal to the retarded regime on Coruscant? (assuming it develops anything like in EU)
In my mind you would play as members of a Star Destroyer on outer rim patrol, with players taking up different roles, as the Captain, the on board ISB/gestapo political officer, TIE wing commander, Stormtrooper commandant, and so on. Shit would be cash.

What is the hottest star wars race and why is it lethan Twi'leks?
>>44391078
>Hottest Star Wars race
>Tentacle Head-ed wierdos with multiple stomachs.
I'll take Zeltrons over Twi'leks any day of the week. I guess I just like a luxurious mane of silky hair too much.
>>44391265
The fact that they are also the best lovers in the galaxy because they can feel what you're feeling and vice versa, doesn't hurt either.

I want to be darth Talon's sith apprentice. And also her sex apprentice.

When did Swamp Thing become a part of the Star Wars universe?
>>44388756
>eek out a living in the outer rim
>Considered deserters by first order
>Hunted as war criminals by resistance
>distrusted by criminals and smugglers since ex empire
>not really welcome anywhere
>too well armed for any of this to get in your way
>>44389131
Ha, nicely done
>>44390592
Post-Endor I would probably not go for a Star Destroyer. A Carrack or the Assault Carrier that FFG just released for X-Wing would be plenty big, and you would still need to be careful around other Imperials who *do* have Star Destroyers.
>>44386985
There is no Nippon in a galaxy far far away.
You could always be a Bothan.
>>44392335
About those Bothans...
Always wanted to play something set in the old republic era, mostly so I can play an imperial agent and be the only thing scarier to an officer then a with lord
Anyone messed with Edge of the Empire/Force and Destiny by Fantasy Flight? I've heard some decent reviews and was thinking of trying them for a game sometime.
>>44392335
Or a Squib.

There are four armed giants who spend their childhood and teenage years as six legged wolves, and I've seen races in some of the graphic novels that look like they were pulled straight of of Furafinity, not to mention some races are literally just cat people.
Make up a new race, Star Wars is huge enough for you to make up a new species for your character, and it lets you come up with your culture on your own.
>>44389888
Cuckome to le /tg/, where epixk memes cum 2 die!!!
*snaggarinos a fedorino'n'tips*
m'anon!!!
Fuck off to reddit you retard-o machine and go jerk off to the prequels
So I'll ask here since I don't want to create another Star Wars topic.
Would a Jedi raised outside the temple through say traditions similar to such come into conflict with the Temple/Council? Would they ignore him as long as he didn't skirt too close to the line to the dark side or try to bring him in?
>>44392509
Wouldn't "many Bothans dying" alert the Empire to prepare for the rebel's impending attack. And if they didn't prepare, wouldn't that sort of alert the rebels of a trap?
>>44393448
Considering the Emperor allowed the location of the DT2 to leak but concealed its readiness, the trap was well laid.
Which is more than I might say for many of the people in this thread...
>>44393324
He would probably be considered a well trained Force Adept. The Jedi are rather jealous of their title and status. If they concluded that he was not Dark Side, they might leave him mostly alone.
>>44389239
>best Star Wars RPG out there
That's not how you spell FFG Star Wars though
>>44393324
If he was raised through traditional methods and stayed on the light side they probably wouldn't bug him more than they'd bug whoever was training him.
The council is sort of famous about being super picky about shit and would probably consider any Jedi trained outside the temple as potentially having a higher risk of failing, whether that was the case or not.
>>44392556
Yes.
Did a mixed Rebellion-era game with it back when AoR was still in beta, now currently in a KOTOR-era game using it.
It's the shit. Characters are balanced regardless of whether they're smugglers or soldiers or Jedi, the system is a great change from a simple "you succeed/you fail" approach to dice rolling.
The only real downsides are space/vehicle combat can get lethal and feels a bit off if you're used to having shields actually soak up damage, and if you want to do something set in a different era from Rebellion/early New Republic/Clone Wars you need to do some homebrewing and reskinning.
>>44393710
Using Emperor Norton's shield houserule really helps with the vehicles being too lethal.
The link should be somewhere in the general.
>>44393577
That's my point though. The Empire secretly knew the rebels were going to attack, but given that many spies had died in the process of gaining info on DS2, shouldn't the rebels have realized that the Empire probably knows the they will strike, and therefore the fact that the DS2 has been left undefended is probably a trap?
And why the hell didn't Darth Vader just capture shuttle Tydirium in a tractor beam like he was going to do with the Millenium Falcon in ESB?
