Re: The High Republic

Re: Squadrons

I haven’t played Squadrons. It will probably be a long time before I get to play it. I gave up computer games when my daughter was born and all I have now is a Switch Lite. Looks really awesome though!

Re: How to Teach the SWRPG System?

Of the four Beginner Games (five if you count the Rebels one...Rancor Publishing Group did an awesome job on their Rebels content), I've found that the Edge of the Empire BG tends to get players (especially new players) to buy into the scenarios a little quicker than the others.

Re: How to Teach the SWRPG System?

It’s our lot in life.” Star Wars is fantasy in my book, mixed with Western/Samurai, replacing the horse with a spaceship, and the neighbouring town/dungeon, with a planet. But ...

Re: How to Teach the SWRPG System?

Primarily, as I had better experience running the fan-made one, and poor luck with the Age of Rebellion one. That had probably something to do with the players' mindset, being less keen on "in the midst of war!" gaming. The Edge of the Empire one has also received a lot of praise - so I d...

Re: How to Teach the SWRPG System?

I would give them a test session before they commit to making PCs - as this is wasting their time and yours.... run a In Media Res combat session against a bunch of goons chasing them down back to the ship,... with a BBEG at the space dock.. In their path place escaped beasties, belligerent jawas, ...

How to Teach the SWRPG System?

Hello all! I've been a long-time lurker on the FFG forums, but never actually played the game. I have most of the Age of Rebellion books, including the Starter Set. I'm finally working towards getting a campaign going, but first I need to figure out how to both convince my group to play a non-D20 ga...
