What's the best way to field a squadron-heavy "carrier"-feeling fleet in Armada?
>>46513932
As a complete casual I'll say that a Neb-B Escort with the Yavaris title can be amazing so long as you keep it from being focused by a cap ship.
Nothing tickles the nuts on an ISD like a double-tap from Keyan Farlander and friends.
>>46513932
There really isn't unless you run Imp SD or MC80 Command Ship with expanded hangar bays.
And in general with Armada's rules, you're not supposed to have more than one-third of your points dedicated to fighters.
Most people I play with don't clamp down hard on the rules, but just be aware some might.
Imps can field the most fighters since they're cheap as shit, but they do work wonders against enemy squadrons with all the SWARM rerolls.
Rebels can have Adar Tallon, who resets the activation on any squadron you activate. Also, MC80s can take Independence title, which lets squadrons move up to distance 4, which is great to get your B-wings into position and combined with >>46514099, can be pretty deadly pretty fast.
So long as they don't get tied up in a swarm of TIEs.
>>46513371
Alright so in my current EotE/FaD game my character's love interest has just been shot and jettisoned on a life pod to the planet Sluis Van. The party is split, with the three heavy characters (me - Jedi Guardian, bro 1 - armored lizard, new guy - angry togruta) heading to rescue her while the tactician and bounty hunter are carrying out plans on another planet.
I don't want to keep the party split, but the waifu and another very important NPC have been caught up in this. The issue is we're delaying an attack on an Imperial station because of the three of us zipping across the galaxy to save them.
What do?
>>46514594
Does the station move? If not it will be there toorrow.
BE ADVISED

"If you leave now, help them you could, but you would destroy all for which they have fought and suffered."
Holy shit. We just watch the newest Star Wars movie for the first time. I was two years old when the first movie came out, but I remember seeing it in the theater with my Mom and Grandma when I was maybe 5?
This movie brought back memories and feelings from 35 years ago. I am not an emotional guy, but watching it did something to me.
The movie itself was fantastic. So many similarities, the humor, set, references. I dont think they could have done a better job than this. Just incredible.
>>46513371
Anyone else disappointed by wave 3?
I feel they aren't putting a lot of creative energy into Armada.
>>46515015
Theres a professional (paid) lewd writing anon in the Tolkien manchild thread. You might be able to summon him there.
>>46515273
Pretty disappointed Han Solo died though.
>>46515015
Shit, I actually know a guy who draws porno. I could get him, no problem, if there was an actual commission in the offering
>>46515339
HAN SOLO DID WHAT!>
>>46515273
>I liked it because they mirrored A New Hope wherever they could
The new movie lost me completely somewhere around the part where they dropped the plot, the tone, EVERYTHING just to make sure the entire second half was a Death Star arc parallel. Between that and J.J.'s utter lack of finesse when it comes to directing in a sci-fi setting, I just couldn't get into it after a while.
But if it brought back good memories, that's a perfectly valid reason to enjoy it.
>>46515296
Yeah, it's pretty lame and unlike X wing they don't seem to know or care about list balance or the meta.
>>46515296
>Anyone else disappointed by wave 3?
Fuck, yesssss. Like, they're interesting at least, but jesus christ guys, two fucking packs? I want some longevity in releases, sure, but I don't want things -that- slow.
>I feel they aren't putting a lot of creative energy into Armada.
I'm less worried about that, and more worried that FFG and their money-hungry (and stupid) overlords will try to drag out releases as much as possible.
The Wave 3 sets -are- creative... but only fucking two of them? God damn.
>>46515582
>Agent Kallus.
>Don't have a fucking Ghost yet.
Damn it all, FFG. You could have just done a Rebels-themed wave, and done good.
FFG vs D20 vs D6 how do you choose an SW RPG?
>>46515662
By choosing D6.
>>46515662
1. Disregard d20.
2. Answer the question, "Do I like narrative dice mechanics?"
If yes, FFG
If no, d6.
>>46515662
D20 and Saga both aren't great. D6 is my personal system of choice, but FFG is lots of fun. I'd recommend D6 just because the mechanics are so streamlined, not to mention the breadth of material available for it.
Hey guys.
I came here to... I guess brag. My Star Wars D6 game is on its 14th weekly session, and going strong. It's the first time one of my campaigns has really gone off as planned.
Anyone else have a campaign currently going? What mischief are your PCs up to?
>>46515772

I'm being torn apart. I want to be free of this pain.why did you post that, anon?
>>46515662
>>46515783
Because it's beautiful, and not enough have seen what could have been.
>>46513845
Joshua Viers, It says right in the corner.
>>46515895
Fix't.
>>46515956
The artist is obvious, I more meant WHERE is it from? What was it made for? Or was it just art for art's sake?
>>46514831
It does not move... BUT
>>46515087
The small Rebel cell who want this done have mustered what resources they can and need to move ASAP so they are not discovered.
>>46515257
And this was the exact quote that sprang to mind when the quandary came up. We've already gone to check the distress signal from the ship that was attacked, and now we know that the life pods are headed to Sluis Van.
It should only take a couple of hours to check if there are any survivors, and base the decision on that.
I hope...
>>46516081
I'm not that last guy you were talking to, but this came up when I googled "Joshua Viers Star Wars":

>>46514594
This is my game at the moment, but to break it down (and some people have probably seen me posting in threads before)...
Nar Shaddaa gone to utter shit from an internal power struggle.
My PC lived there, hiding from the Empire. The other PCs (Selonian BH, Ssi'Ru warrior, Sluissi mechanic) were all under the employ of the brother Hutts who used to rule the moon.
They get asked to come back and begin a subtle gang war to shift the balance of power away from the human gang, the twi'lek + other xenos gang and the mysterious third party who seems to know more than anyone else.
So we meet when the Hutts seize my character's bar and force him into work, not knowing he's an ex-Jedi. The Bounty Hunter is working for them to escape a death sentence from a rival Hutt, and the Ssi'ru has severe amnesia. The Sluissi was an ex weapons designer for the CIS, turned humanitarian (sort of...)
Two sessions in and two big things happen.
One - a Trandoshan slaver and his crew attack the party, knocking my character out (they knew one another from back when) and running into a crowded street. Rather than play it safe, the Sluissi takes a shot with an explosive weapon and kills a whole bunch of innocent people.
Two - on the back of that, as we ran through the streets to evade the sector ranger blockade coming in on the area, we are attacked by a red lightsaber wielding woman. She butchers our speeder and has us crash through the plate between levels.
So rather than a subtle gang war with no implications on the Hutts, we have a full on planetary battle erupt and an Inquisitor hunting the party.
>>46516203
Get the fuck off nar shadda. Go deep underground, full innawoods. There's plenty of worlds out in the deep dark rim where y'all could land in hundreds of miles from civilization, build a log cabin near your freighter, fly into town on the next planet over for supplies and just disappear from the next 3-10 years
>>46516303
Too late bro. The plot has thickened quicker than one quarter-portion in a bowl of water.
I can story time if anyone would like it?
>>46516203
Shoot captain collateral and disappear, that's the best advice I can give
>>46516203
Fun.
My campaign is a re-imagining of the Star Wars saga, with two changes:
1. R2-D2 caught a turbolaser shot to the dome in The Phantom Menace, and it was a different droid (G8-R3, aka "Gator") that fixed the Queen's blockade runner and became the heroic astromech droid.
2. The PCs exist, and get in the way.
The PCs are a wookiee bounty hunter, his Ithorian first mate who bumbles his way into fixing things, and their "passenger," a man who claims to be a Jedi and follows the Jedi code (but actually isn't one - though he has recently touched the Force).
Some highlights:
>The "Jedi" finds Gator in the Tatooine desert first, and distracts him from his mission of finding Obi-Wan Kenobi. He claims to be a Jedi and to know where the Rebels are, and so off we go to Anchorhead.
>The ship is much slower than the Millennium Falcon, so the PCs arrive in the Alderaan system late. The Death Star has already left, but the Imperial Fleet is here to begin quarantining the area!
>The PCs flee into the debris field/Graveyard of Alderaan and hide inside an asteroid. Their sensors pick up strange signals from the asteroid, and so they find the remnants of an old Clone Wars-era bunker (made of molecularly-reinforced duracrete and stabilized with anti-concussion fields) inside, which has been repurposed as a Rebel base. PCs download encrypted Rebel data.
>The Empire, not knowing where the Rebels are, destroy Chandrila.
>The PCs are attacked in space by Bossk, who they manage to kill. They take, refurbish, repaint, and rename twice his freighter.
>PCs are commissioned into the Rebellion by Mon Mothma herself after delivering Gator.
>PCs destroy a giant wrecker droid on a junkyard planet. Pic related.
>PCs are now in the midst of an operation to raid THE most heavily fortified location on Coruscant (other than the Imperial Palace) to maybe get data on where the Death Star currently is. It's gonna be great.

>>46516645
First off, let's introduce the characters!
"Captain" Kanu - roguish Selonian Bounty Hunter and pilot of The Lost Cause, a heavily modified YT-2400 freighter he stole from a prison facility after breaking some key people out. Great at stealth, flying things and using ranged weapons to take down bounties. Sometimes he just cannot climb down things though. Sometimes far too nice.
Ssuri'wekk - a hulking red Ssi'ru warrior lizard, recently clad in PX-11 Battlement armor. Was in the aforementioned prison until the day he decided to walk out of his cell by bending the bars with his brute strength. Met Kanu and imprinted on him as a leader figure. Suffered from severe amnesia until recently. Loyal to a fault, though keen to place people's souls into his weapons and armor.
Jayrien - a holier than thou Chiss strategist in the vein of Thrawn, only on a much smaller scale in that he works for a Hutt and organizes the gang of Nikto and Klatooinians that work for said Hutt. Thinks he is better than everyone, and loves pitting his wits against anyone who he thinks is a challenge. Recently jousted verbally with an alluring Falleen female, which led to tsundere of extreme levels.
"Swine" (real name not given) - a Togruta missing a horn who harbours one hell of a mean streak. Force Sensitive, though only three people in the current campaign know this. Loves big guns and getting answers from people in ways that are not exactly legal. Appreciates pragmatism.
Carrus Avinn - my PC. A Corellian former Jedi Guardian who barely survived Order 66. He hung out with some other Jedi for a while, before an Inquisitor named Lanius hunted and killed them all, torturing Carrus in an attempt to turn him. When that didn't work, he left him alive to lead him to other Jedi, so instead he went and hid out on Nar Shaddaa, opening a bar and doing quite well out of it.

What's a doom shuttle?
>>46517690
cheap shuttle w/ vader. Roll up, get as many shots as you can with the shuttle, and vader after every one for that sweet guaranteed damage.
>>46517672
What up Kiwi bro!
>>46517678
Former PCs:
Kira Lamat (deceased) - A Weequay mercenary pirate who was also one hell of a good cook. She traveled with the party to Cholganna before heading off to start her own crew. When helping the party save a shipment of slaves, she sacrificed herself by crashing her HWK-1000 into a Star Destroyer at lightspeed in order to let the transports get away.
Lavintas - the Falleen mentioned in Jay's paragraph. A double and sometimes triple agent for all sides since the Clone Wars, Lavintas is firmly against the oppression brought about by the Empire and has thrown her lot in with the Rebels. Crafty, cunning and not against using her sexuality to get what she wants, she has been working to free slaves the last little while (PC turned NPC).
Nesaib - a Sluissi weapons designer for the CIS turned "humanitarian" when he realized his creations had killed millions. He was trying to amend his ways, but ended up hotting a street full of civilians and getting the party on the wanted list in a big way. Eventually he managed to sneak off Nar Shaddaa, to the relief of the crew.
Tura Jin - Nautolan engineer with a lot of cybernetics. Not a bad kid, but grew up in a bad place. His most recent cybernetic seems to be having a negative effect on him, making him rather evil. He started a small workshop on Ord Mantell, partnering with a kindly old Junk Dealer (and father of Soontir Fel in this canon).
Next post starts the session summaries.
>>46517724
First session on Nar Shaddaa:
The party (Kanu, Ssuri, Nesaib) are invited to a banquet at the palace of a pair of Hutts, brothers who they have saved from one thing and another.
Carrus is there, having been informed his bar is now owned by the Hutts. He is amicable enough, but already looking for a way to get out of this.
He recognizes Kanu as the winner of the Ord Mantell Classic (an underground swoop race) and they bond over things that go fast.
The Hutts put forward a business proposition, claiming that if the party do the job of starting a gang war to undermine the power bases on Nar Shaddaa they will be rewarded mightily. Carrus disputes being rewarded with something he already owns, but is already feeling the Force tying him up with the other PC (conveniently).
Kanu wants to clear a death mark on his head to another Hutt, Ssuri wants to find the ship he came to this part of the galaxy in and Nesaib wants money.
The three other crime lords that run the moon are all targets, and it's up to the party to decide what to do.
Carrus meets Elise, a Twi'lek "entertainer", who is actually a practicing doctor in bondage to the Hutts. They flirt a little, finding commonalities in certain things.
The next day sees the arrival of Dago, the Italian themed speeder pilot who would be their taxi when they needed it. About 30 minutes of hilarity ensued when Kanu's player pointed out Dago is a racial slur against Italians. The poor GM had no idea.
They go to investigate a merchant who has been trafficking high end arms to only one of the crime families, and are attacked by some thugs. Carrus is already regretting getting caught up in this, and wonders if he has enough cash on hand to book it off planet.
They manage to capture one of the very anti-xeno humans, and pump him for information before dropping him off at the local Chevin brothel, and take some photos of him in compromising positions for insurance that he won't tell anyone they were prying.
>>46517789
Following his information, they head to a lower level and find an arms deal going down with some Trandoshan slavers, one of whom, a brute named Khrom, recognizes Carrus. He shoots him and drops him immediately, then takes off while the other Trannies fight the rest of the party.
This is where is starts to get interesting...
Nesaib follows Khrom on a chase through the surrounding tenement housing, before stopping on a balcony overlooking a crowded street. He takes aim, and the GM advises the shot will be incredibly risky, but the "humanitarian" Sluissi decides to pull the trigger.
Fourteen dead and countless maimed, wounded, crying and screaming civilians later and Kanu is picking Carrus up and telling him they need to run, fast. Carrus can sense a lot of death, and doesn't know what's happening, so decides running is a good idea.
GM-sama at that point is in fits. He never planned for anything like that so he just rolls with it.
Sector police start piling in, cordoning off the area. A Twi'lek that Kanu and Ssuri had met on Ord Mantell guides them into a cantina, which is a front for the Rebellion on Nar Shaddaa. He informs them that a slave shipment is due, and he wants to disrupt it to free them.
Carrus is still wondering what the fuck happened in the alley, and is getting increasingly mad he isn't somewhere not full of gunfire.
They leave the cantina, a local policeman stopping Nesaib as some witnesses reported seeing a "snake like creature" with a gun at the scene. They bluff their way through it and get the fuck out of there, heading to an infochant meeting the Hutts had scheduled.
Kanu notices a dark robed figure flitting around in the shadows at the end of the alley, and they decide to move the meeting to another location. They call Dago, who picks them up and tries to get them out of the area, but checkpoints have been set up by this time.
>>46517853
A short round of questioning by said checkpoint authorities later has the party sprinting out of a small police station and leaping into Dago's speeder screaming at him to floor it.
They make it about 3 feet before the dark robed figure steps into their path, and in the glow of her ignited red lightsaber, Carrus notices she was one of his best friends back int he Jedi temple.
The saber is hurled into the speeder, which manages to crash spectacularly into the plate and through it, causing the party to dangle hundreds of meters in the air from destroyed plasteel and duracrete.
Dago, unconscious, falls from the speeder and the rest of the party decide they can't let him die, and voluntarily jump. This was also in reaction to Rienne (our Inquisitor friend) arriving.
Through an absolutely miraculous set of rolls and a conveniently placed church with a thick bed of flowers in the bottom (thank you Triumphs and Destiny Points spent to sway the GM via one of his face games) we survive the fall but are now in a darker part of the city.
They manage to sneak through the slum area and arrive just in time to meet the infochant, who gives them a repository of knowledge on the other gangs. Deciding it best to lay low for a while, Ssuri takes the unconscious Dago with Nesaib to find a new speeder, while Kanu and Carrus find a bar to discuss their next move.
Shortly afterward, a dark robed woman enters and sits down at a table, waiting for Carrus to talk to her. He obliges, and he and Rienne have a very curt and awkward conversation where she intimates that he has to go with her, or Kanu will die at his bar stool.
Motioning to Kanu that he'll be ok, Carrus accepts that fact an Inquisitor has finally caught up with him after a decade of hiding, and he walks out with her to ensure Kanu won't be murdered like his Jedi friends back in the days of yore.
A short walk through some alleys brings them to an Imperial shuttle, where a massive figure stands waiting...
>>46517916
A second Inquisitor, this one much less amicable. He informs Carrus that he is now subject to Imperial law, and will either be executed or can offer his services to the Empire.
Carrus, being the cocky bastard he is when faced with two Inquisitors, one who he really doesn't want to fight or kill, decides to be glib.
Lucky for him, a blur of motion comes flying out of the night and crashes into Rienne, in the form of a young human woman armed with a staff. They being fighting, Carrus and the other Inquisitor surprised when the human girl goes toe to toe with a lightsaber.
Seizing the moment, Carrus grabs his own lightsaber, cunningly hidden as part of his flute, and begins duelling the larger Inquisitor.
The combat is short and brutal, the unknown human knocking Rienne (who is a Cathar btw, forgot to mention) out in short order, and Carrus scoring a hit on the Zabrak, who has been identified as one when his cloak fell back from his spiky head.
Playtime was over then, however, as the Zabrak held out his hands, lightning leaping from them to incapacitate both the ex-Jedi and the strange girl. Just as that happened, heroic Captain Kanu came flying in on a new speeder, rammed the Zabrak and grabbed both the unconscious humans before zooming off into the sky and away from any more lightning.
Just as a by the by... All of this has happened in a 24 hour period.
First day on Nar Shaddaa for most of the crew. A decade of living there for Carrus without incident until then...
>>46517706
Does Vader deal crits through shields? I was planning to put him on a decimator but it's good to know he works in the shuttle too
>>46518004
No, he does not.
The idea is (with any luck,) your shuttle shot will strip shields then Vader comes on with the FORCE CRUSH
>>46515296
>>46515592
The numbering suggests there's still at least two more sets yet to be released.
The new packs are SWM18 and SWM19, but they don't have anything for SWM16 or 17. Yet.

>>46519608
One of the pictures you quoted shows the X-Wing hangar from Yavin, man.
>>46519630
Yeah, avoid trailers means not looking at the stills. As such, I didn't open them. Thanks for kind of answering my question, though!
Hey /set/, I posted a homebrew question in the last thread and no one responded, so I wanted to try and post in the New thread and see if anyone has some suggestions.
Basically, me and my group are gonna be running a FaD post RotJ in the future and my GM has okayed me playing a homebrewed Miraluka, so me and him have been working on stating one out for FaD. Over the past few days we've worked out several components to the race. We basically just using the human racial stats as well as starting experience. We've also laid out advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages: Any Miraluka start with one rank in Force Sense.
Disadvantages: additional difficulty on checks involving droids or other being not connected to the Force.
Additional difficulty on checks involving computer or mechanical systems not designed to accommodate blind individuals.
My GM is fine with me running this race as we've initially, but this is our first time with the system and I wanted to see if anyone here who has run the system if there's anything you would suggest to add or remove from the race.
>>46513371
Is there a story behind the op image?
Is it just me being jaded or was the teaser trailer kinda meh?
>>46519859
>Is it just me being jaded or was the teaser trailer kinda meh?
Maybe we all are? But that's how I feel too.
>>46519859
Yeah, I thought so too. It overused the nostalgia piano which people are getting wise to, and was overall more trailer than teaser.
It obviously didn't have the years long quiet hype train that force awakens had either.
Still I'll watch it, makes me think of an EotE or AoR campaign.
>>46518881
Might be alright. Shame that it has to be stuck with the "Rogue One" title, though.
>>46519859
Nah, I'm with you on that too. Though for me at least it could just be this >>46519917 meaning that no matter what the movie accomplishes it will never fully escape that feeling of missed potential.
>>46518881
JYN ERSOJan Ors?
>>46519859
It was everything I'd thought it was going to be after they announced the plot and that people connected to Zero Dark Thirty would be involved. Instead of a movie about Kyle Katarn or rebel operators operating, it's a 90's antihero with great modern war movie tropes such as having a disinterested look while gazing out of the window of an armored vehicle, and horrified look in slow motion while there is an explosion very close by.
>>46519997

-"Hacksaw": gunner, fire control, tactician, engine upgrade. Fly around, get fuckers double stressed if you miss them at range 2, engine keeps you mobile.
-"Sniper": Adv Sensors, HLC, 1-2 merc co-pilots. Stay back and, well, snipe.
-"Baffalo": baffles, tactician, fire control. 25 points, disregard reds, acquire kills.
Shuttles are fucking great.

>>46520461
IIRC the sheriff of the town steps off the train and asks three outlaws for help where in this artist's re-imagining we have Vader getting assistance from what looks like bounty hunters and a rebel pilot
>>46520536
Never get tired of the harmonica in that soundtrack. Morricone is awesome.
>>46520578
>>46520536
Interesting, though i don't think that's vader. It looks like all four characters are meant to resemble real characters. From left to right, zuckuss, boba fett, bossk, and vader. Three of the bounty hunters vader commissioned in the original trilogy.
They also appear to be on not!tattooine.
>>46520693
the tie advanced with the ruined wing makes it seem like him, though
>>46520077
Yeah, you really hit on it. I guess I'd so expected the movie to be about operators or Rogue SQUADRON that I'd canonized it in my mind. Even so, it looks like it has potential. You can tell they're leaving out critical plot elements, and some of the scenes were really hype(like that AT-AT beach scene). Plus, the characters are cool, and Jan is going to be a much more rounded charcter than Rey was.
Just wait and see. They're doing something different from both the movies and what fans expected, that's not a bad thing.
>>46520723
I think that's the point, it's fantastic. I really love the outfit not!boba fett is wearing, that jetpack is swish.
>>46519608
Yeah, I'm still waiting for the phantom menace that was in the trailers. And my Thrawn movie.
>>46520726
I have some hope that it will be able to stand on its own and bring its own unique quality to the franchise that the 'trilogy' films can't and shouldn't.
But deep down I just want muh easy going X-Wing fighter jockey flick with lots of beauty shots of all kinds of starships.
>>46520726
They're not really doing anything different though. This is the third/fourth story about the stealing of the plans for the death star. It's boring and been done to death.
The AT-AT beach clip is cool yes, but it also shits all over the idea that before the rebels blew up the death star they weren't really considered a threat.
>>46519445
That's clearly a subway station.
>>46521063
You need to watch ANH again.
Everyone considered the Rebellion a threat. It was only BECAUSE the DS was finished that the Imperial officers in the briefing room thought the threat was over. Even then General Tagge still kept pushing that the Rebellion was a massive threat and even Motti claimed the Rebellion was a threat to the entire Imperial Navy.
Only the Emperor failed to ever consider them a threat
>>46518881
It looks like an AoR campaign.
>>46520100
Please give me Kyle Katarn in a movie. My favorite star wars character by far.
Just re-watched TFA due to blu-ray release. Anyone speculate on upcoming XWM releases?
What would you like from say a Finn crew card or Snap Wexley pilot card?
Sup /swg/ I'm new to Xwing, and I made a list and am buying ships now.
But I realized now that I don't have enough cards included.
I need to get 2 Adaptability, 1 Gunner, 1 Darth Vader, 1 Tactician, and 1 Engine Upgrade.
I went on Ebay and it's $10 for one engine upgrade there, whereas the Falcon (which has 2 engine upgrades in it) is just $20.
Is there a cheaper place to buy single cards? Is there a swap system for /swg/?
>>46521233
I can see Finn being a gunner.
>>46521147
This. Pretty much every career military officer we see considered the Rebellion a threat, correctly realizing how fucking fast this little armed rebellion could get out of control. Palpatine and his cronies were still running off his high of finally wiping out the Jedi and destroying the Republic, and didn't give a shit.
>>46521147
Fair enough, the impression I got from that scene in ANH was that Tarkin and Vader considered Motti and Tagge to be over reacting and the others present shared that opinion. I'm also under the impression that committing AT-ATs to something would require approval from a Moff or similarly high ranking individual.
>>46521264
Engine Upgrades are gold dust. I was gifted a YT-1300 for play without those cards, it took another person buying me an additional freighter for the cards.
So if you're set on only playing Imperial ships you might have to just pay through the nose for the cards.
>>46521233
I don't really see how a janitor is going to contribute to a starship fight.
>>46521336
Did you not see the Grand Admiral in the teaser?
>>46518996
Grand admiral, or ISB like that guy on the death star. Maybe a grand moff.
>>46521289
My thoughts exactly, but I can't come up with anything unique for him.
>>46521349
He shot down a TIE fighter that one time!
Plus he apparently nerded out over tech manuals and shit. "Fly low! It'll confuse their targeting sensors" or whatever it was.
>>46519014
New kind of trooper? I dig the sleek menacing helmet.
>>46521233
>Just re-watched TFA due to blu-ray release. Anyone speculate on upcoming XWM releases?
I don't know about X-Wing, but I wouldn't mind the new SD for Armada.
>>46521380
Shadow Troopers?
>>46521350
Steal Plans from Grand Admiral > mad as fuck > kills everyone with AT-ATs
Makes sense I guess
>>46519316

>I recognize that mountain!
Does /swg/ hold games with each other?
>>46521422
Thats pretty much the Empire SOP
>>46521233
Well, the Special Forces TIE would be an obvious choice.
>>46521380
Storm commando, more or less?
>>46521401
>>46521355
Change one primary weapon blank die to a crit, or make a second attack even if your first attack hits.
My players have ever so slightly metagamed me last game, and set a course for a world that one of them knows from a Star Wars Dark Forces (or one of those games). It's a world that's apparently a giant scrap yard and also a hotbed of crime. Would swg know the name of this planet so I can see where I've okayed them to visit?
>>46521063
The AT-AT's could be involved in some sort of invasion action to quell a world in open revolt.
>>46521401
Fuckin A, man. The resurgent is a cool design.
>>46521527
Sounds like Raxus Prime. My players spent their last handful of sessions there.
>>46521527
It might be Anoat or the Moon of Gromas
>>46521527
Probably Raxus Prime

>>46521589
Hello hivemind.
I've just found out that it's actually Nar Shadaa, or 'little coruscant'. Despite my best efforts to get away from running dark heresy, it looks like my players have gone to a hive world.
>>46521615
...
...
...Could be...
>>46521674
Nar Shaddaa is in no way famous for having a scrap yard. The hive of scum/being crime coruscant fits though.
Nar Shaddaa is a pretty fun place of adventure.
I'm wondering, at the end of the trailer, guy says something like "what will you be?" And then you see Jin in Imperial garments.
Covert op or traitor?
Traitor would be rad.
>>46521701
I think they may have mixed in...the planet from Shadows of the Empire where you fight IG-88? Whatever world that was, big train, scrap. aa
Are there any insights into city life in star wars? I've only played a few games and seen the films and I'd rather not use Episode 2 as a basis for city life.
>>46521527
Ord Mantell is occasionally depicted as a huge junkyard.
>>46521737
Yeah, that was Ord Mantell.
>>46515273
Wait 2 Weeks. That feeling will wear off and you'll start feeling disappointed.
>>46521623
>Carl
You mean Kal. What did you think was under the breastplate in his original Dark Forces art?
>>46521701
I was going to say that.
I'm positive for Nar Shadaa being a hutt crime planet in the Old republic era, but Renegade Squadron has me wondering if the scrap yard map is not Nar Shadaa.
>>46521783
>>46521759
Ord Mantell, that was it.
>>46521759
Neat.
I'm seeing that Nar Shadaa is home to a race called the Gank who seem to be enforcers for the Hutts? Will I find more information on the Hutts in EotE? I'm running Force and Destiny but it seems rebirthing the jedi into the galactic civil war has been put on hold.
>>46515895
That is a shitty chart and you know it.
>>46521615
>>46519452
>>46519436
>>46521689
He REALLY feels like Biggs with smaller lips.
>>46521527
>>46521759
>>46521737
Ord Mantell isn't ENTIRELY junkyard yet, but it's got a lot of them, one near their main spaceport.
>>46520367
...You present a compelling point.
>>46519552
Well, technically, Vader brought balance to the Force.
2 Jedis and 2 siths instead of hundreds/thousands of Jedis and 2 siths.
>>46521137
Yeah, it actually looks a lot like Canary Wharf
>>46521814
>I'm seeing that Nar Shadaa is home to a race called the Gank who seem to be enforcers for the Hutts? Will I find more information on the Hutts in EotE? I'm running Force and Destiny but it seems rebirthing the jedi into the galactic civil war has been put on hold.
Hutt space has an entire book called Lords of Nal Hutta for EotE.
>>46521846
Lucas dies a little every time someone says this. No wonder people keep repeating it despite being so very wrong.
>>46521903
Do explain, I'm all ears.
I'm even willing to stay serious and not mention midi-chlorians.
>>46521726
I got a real "emperor's hand" vibe in the last shot.
>yfw death stars destruction is retconned into some retarded long con sheev gambit to subvert the imperial burecreacy/internal rebellion (tarkin/vader) while fomenting a suitable threat that justifies a greater tightening of CONTROL
I doubt they would do that, and i hope they wont.
>>46521137
We've seen Coruscant with subways and light rail services, so why not?
>>46521935
I just don't want any more "imperial defector" bullshit. The Empire is not the boogeyman
>>46518881
I'm terribly underwhelmed.
Also, some of that dialogue was just inefficient. That whole whispered bit from the black guy lacked emotional impact entirely.
>>46521927
>>46521903
Lucas' fault for saying balance instead of harmony.
>>46521935
I thought the same about a poqsible Hand.
>mfw she's renamed by the Emperor
>"You shall be known as Mara Jade"
>>46521927
The Dark Side is an imbalance in the Force. That's all there is to it.
>>46521951
Oh come on, yes it is.
SW has always been about Black and White, GOOD ans EVHUL.
It never tried, nor should it, to be gray.
>>46521927
A balanced Force would be all Light Side, there is a reason the Jedi call it "The Force" and not "The Light Side" typically.
The Darkside itself is an imbalance in the Force that should not exist if one wants harmony and balance.
>>46521956
True indeed.
I'm happy we get another SW movie, but we already know how it ends, they get the plans, the end.
Maybe that's why I couldn't feel some real HYPE for it. I'll still go see it though, just for the tiny hope that the director go to do what he wanted, a gritty war movie.
>>46521951
But Anon, they're the baddies.
>>46521870
Any place I'd be able to get ahold of a pdf for it? I have the F&D book but I'm not ready to shell out for a book when the players hopefully won't spend too long dicking about in Hutt Space.
>>46522145
...The OP?
>>46522170
My bad, didn't notice the mediafire links went deeper! Thanks anon
>>46521903
Probably shouldn't have had this dialogue then. I assume its the main thing that causes confusion as to what 'balance to the force' means.
>Obi-Wan Kenobi: With all due respect, Master, is he not the Chosen One? Is he not to destroy the Sith and bring balance to the Force?
>Mace Windu: So the prophecy says.
>Yoda: A prophecy that misread could have been.
>>46519005
Imperial army vehicle crew?
>>46522280
It LITERALLY says "Destroy the Sith"
>>46519005
I'm actually kind of disappointed the vehicle crew aren't wearing this helmet. It would've been a nice continuity nod.
>>46522312
Uh yeah, and then Yoda questions if that is what the prophecy actually is, cue people assuming that scene was meant apply the prophecy being misunderstood and balance to the force meant killing the Jedi.
>>46522360
I'm wondering why they didn't just reuse the AT-AT and AT-ST pilot costumes instead. Those seemed decent enough to serve as general-purpose vehicle crew. They also look a lot comfier for vehicle crewmen than armor plating.
>>46520507
Why not indeed?
>>46522444
I think that Rebels helmet is supposed to be the same as the AT-ST helmet from RotJ (and what Veers wears at Hoth), just with a face plate added in.
>>46521846
>there are still people who think this is what "Balance to the Force" means.
>>46521264
Unless you're going to tournies, just proxy. You'll naturally accrue cards as you play.
If you want specific cards for tournies, borrow from friends. I've been playing since wave 1 so I have everything and then some, and at tournies I'm loaning stuff out to half the players it seems.
>>46522444
For rebels it's a simple budget matter, they added a mask to the old Veers/AT-ST pilot helmet to cover up faces and save modeling and rendering budget.
I'm not really gonna complain about more uniform variety though.
>>46522083
Personally, I'm hoping it ends on a really bittersweet note with most if not all of the commando team getting killed.
Something as critical as the Death Star plans should only be obtained through a suicide mission.
>>46522398
What's more likely, the prophecy is actually well written, or George Lucas is a hack and the retarded assumption most people make is actually correct?
>>46522634
Oh I'm pretty sure the whole point of this movie is having the good guys dying by the dozen, since they're not even supposed to be in ANH.
This time they can make the Empire look scary, and stormtroopers like actual soldiers, because they'll be a much thinner plot armor and almosr an obligation to die to tie any loose end.
>>46522635
Well, the prophecy was never detailed. Word of God explicitly states that the Dark Side is an imbalance though.
I wonder whatever happened to this loser. I don't remember him getting killed.
>>46518881
>Mark Hamill's face at the post-trailer ad
my fucking sides
>>46522634
>suicide mission
>>46522756
Seriously, the frown on the Rebels stormtrooper helmet is way too exagerated. And here I was thinking the Old Republic Trooper was a bad one.
>>46521408
This. But rechristened 'Death Troopers' in the new canon.
>>46522794
Following him on twitter is actually really entertaining.
He's very active, few massive stars like him do the same.
>>46522756
He probably transfered off world because he did not want to get involved with the nonsense on Lothal
>>46522634
Hopefully, it'll end with a post-Yavin scene in which the surviving pilot(s) talk about two new guys named Skywalker and Antilles.
>>46522822
I almost wish Rebels had gone as Full-McQuarrie with the stormies as other things, just to watch people squirm.
>>46522864
Pretty sure they were both absolute no-names before the trench run.
>>46521337
Nice get. I guess I'll eventually buy a Falcon and split it into components to sell then?
>>46522576
At tournaments, how accepting would they be of printouts of cards?
My friends only have on Engine Upgrade between us, and it's basically mounted to Bossk.
>>46522878
Last one is pretty good.
I still prefer thenewstyle.
>>46522704
If they can marry a darker tone to a distinctive Star Wars style, this could be a really great spinoff. I personally would like to see the Empire as the actual threat it's played up to be.
Obviously something bad had to happen to this team. Otherwise a strung-out Senater wouldn't wind up fleeing for her life to make sure the plans they stole get to Obi-wan.
Brace yourselves though. Apparently Zack Snyder is in talks to direct one of these spinoffs.
>>46522794
These new movies completely revitalized Hamill and it's great.
>>46522925
>Zack Snyder
What about just a few silent shorts with lovely visuals, force him to do what he's good at.
>>46522887
Hence the words "Post-Yavin."
I wonder, that grand admiral/white uniformed officer could be the supposedly "legendary" but unnamed officer that shows up in the end of the Aftermath book.
>>46522925
>Brace yourselves though. Apparently Zack Snyder is in talks to direct one of these spinoffs.
No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no. This is the worst rumor I've seen today.
I do not want that comic book adapting music video director anywhere near Star Wars.
>>46522911
In causal events, like your flgs local tourney, you should be fine. Ask the TO beforehand to be sure.
At premier level events like regionals, it won't fly.
>>46523164
If he's named Thrawn or anything close I'm going to be very put out.
>>46522949
>>46523168
I have good news. I am retarded and forgot the article I read discussing Snyder's future involvement was released on, of all days, April 1st.
Well fucking played, Screenrant.
Pictured: what a Snyder Star Wars movie would almost certainly have been like.
>>46523183
Prawn. Kawn. Mawn. Gawn. It'll be something like that.
>>46523168
What, you don't want a Star Wars movie that has the opening title crawl start with han zimmer's famous musical score "BBBBWWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMM........ BBBBBWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMM..... BBBBBWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMM" at 200 decibels?
Man, they even got a Jan Dodanna lookalike if you look closely at 0:24
>>46523239
>>46521814
So I've read the chapter on Nar Shadaa. It certainly sounds like a barrel of laughs, but there is mention of an Ancient Sith academy built millennia ago. Since I'm running Force and Destiny, this seems the most apparent and available plot thread.
What do these temples tend to feature?
>>46521423
So this is autism.
>>46523340
Towers of Hanoi, terentateks, and spooky ghosts.
>>46521423
First off quirky droids are a mainstay of Star Wars.
Second, we also got rid of kyp duron, so it kind of washes out in the long run.
Disney is slowly reintroducing cool shit like immobilizers too.
I have no excuse for the heliquisitors, but Star Wars has suffered from more retardation and we all know it.
>be Ken
>Be son of three eyed mutant
>be grandson of Palpatine
>be prince of all Jedi
>Never, ever, ever, ever mentioned again.
>>46523445
There is a definite limit to how much quirk your droids can have before becoming really fucking dumb, as evidenced by the prequels.
>>46523445
>Star Wars has suffered from more retardation and we all know it.
This is actual McQuarrie concept art for RotJ.
>>46523393
So monsters, force ghosts and puzzles?
Should the temple be stone or is how the prequels show the jedi temple on coruscant the way to go? All wide open and spacious, aside from the puzzles and the ghosts and the monsters.
>>46523530
Rebels actually did a good job with their design of the Lothal Temple.
Then there's the Kyber Crystal Temple in TCW.
>>46522794
>"Oh I'm sorry I have dialogue? I'm used to just staring intently."
Crap, now my coworkers know I am slacking off. No one doing this job can express laughter as loud as I just did, and still be productive.
>>46523530
Designs will vary. The Korriban Academy from KOTOR, for instance, was brown, low-ceiling, gloomily lit, and very drab compared to the KOTOR 2 academy on Malachor. Rebels had a pyramid-shaped Sith temple. Galactic Battlegrounds used a generic spooky castle design for all Sith Temples.
>>46523501
actually that thing still made it's debut in the Ewok spin-off movie.
Yes, there is, in fact, at least one Ewok movie.
>>46519906
I like it, actually. Dem feels when the Death Star dish is installed...
>>46523585
>>46523594
In my mind I'm currently picturing a stone pyramid, Aztec-ish in construction. Perhaps at the bottom of some urban trench, perhaps in the Darklands or Dead Town. It's got shanty towns built ontop of and around it, but the mighty stone doors won't move for any unless a Force Sensitive approaches it. Or they can solve the Towers of Hanoi.
>>46523595
Two, the second of which starts off with a huge chunk of the characters from the first being brutally murdered by space orcs.
>>46520726
Yeah, everyone seems to have had that impression, even when told dozens of times it has nothing to do with Rogue Squadron.
>>46523500
See, TCW droids are literally "we need Down syndrome schooling" tier retarded. Chopper is nowhere near that bad. Even phantom menace droids weren't that bad.
>>46523595
There are two. Caravan of Courage and Battle for Endor.
>>46523667
Definitely watch Rebels to see the Sith Temple. How it opened and worked was very interesting.
Make sure to think of the code as a way to open the doors
>>46519906
I'll watch it because it's got a high chance of no jedi being in it. That alone gives me a glimmer of hope.
>>46523684
>Even phantom menace droids weren't that bad.
>Robots who need binoculars
>Three Stooges pit droids
>>46521575
My players just spent two sessions there as well. They killed a giant wrecker droid and stole an engine for a Z-95 Headhunter.
>>46523667
>Walled City of Kowloon in space, slapped on top of a Sith Temple
Sounds like a recipe for great fun, especially if you ramp up the horror.
>>46523729
There probably won't be any "Jedi", but there's at least one dark-robed guy and and several mysterious old guys.
So don't hold your breath on both "no glowsticks" and "nobody waxes mystical about the Force".On the other hand, a non-cartoon inquisitor or shadow guard would make for some very intimidating muscle for the antagonists
>>46523831
>Inquisitors
We can only hope.
>>46523853
"Dark Forces" the movie would be great, yes.
>>46523831
Let me have my dreams.
>>46523831
I heard thatVadershows up to ruin everybody's day.
>>46523735
Watch The Clone Wars 3D animated series and tell me the battle droids are not way stupider
>>46524039
He's a big part of chasing the plans. We've known this since ANH, since we literally see vader ruining the day of a bunch of people, including a little collateral damage in the form of a whole planet.
>>46524073
Really, Vader is a giant string of day-ruining. Whose day hasn't he ruined while he was Darth Vader?
>>46523718
A glass/cyber pyramid and a might stone obelisk rotater thing? Sounds pretty neat.
>>46523784
I don't necessarily want to play up any horror, but rather introduce the players to the Force. And Nar Shadaa doesn't seem like the kind of place that cultivates the Force in any positive manner.
