Star Wars- The Roleplaying Game
| 
May 19 14:17 UTC 1996 |
Looking for people to discuss this up and coming rpg. Its been around for
quite some time, but with the seeming rebirth of Starwars Fandom the game is
taking a sharp swing in the upwards direction.

Is this Fandom thing a change of company or just some extension of the system?
I have played Star Wars for 3/4 of a year at a role-playing club at my
college. I believe that I mentioned this before, but my character is a human
bounty hunter, also the pilot of a peacekeeper class stardestroyer which has
been taken over by the rebillion - all I can say is, "It has been . . .
intersting!"

I've played it, sorta.....It was during my eighth grade year, the 8th grade
took a trip, by bus, from Chelsea to Wash DC...The person that i sat next to
had the books with him, and sort of taught me how to play....It was basically
just a time-killing campaign, though, no real plot, just running around fightin
the Empire's ships...

I'v played. I attempted to run a campaign, was very well planned, but was too
strict. didn't leave much room for characters to "wing it". Lost interest
quickly, sorta because no-one was a true start-wars fan.

Star Wars is good, though I'll admit I've never played it straight.
I have used the system as a player in a Pulp game, but would probably
prefer the interpritive mythical feel of Everway (with some more science
fiction based vision cards) for Star Wars, since whle the original
Costikian gamesis good, it's a bit too deterministic, and doesn't
really capture the mythical feel of the movies.

I've played it a couple of times; run it once. It's fun, although it's
set up so that it's a little harder to role-play than some games. Still
possible, though - one campaign I was in was truly excellent in that
respect. Ignore the - one-on-the-off-colored-die-means-you-screw-up
rule in the new version, though. We eventually replaced it with the
Shadowrun critical failure rule.

I've never found the system to be harder to roleplay in -- it's simple,
threfore easy to roleplay with. But the one-on-the-off-diue rule sounds
incredibly stupid -- it means that even a jedi master wil screw up one time out
of 6.

So, is someone going to start a campaign or whatever you call it? I can GM if
absolutly no one else wants to.

Wuff da.
I would join, but with a system like Star Wars, I'd rather play it in person.

I like the wild die rule. but if we get a group together, we should take a
vote.
(my offer to GM still stands. I own the sourcebook. and know someone who
has almost every add-on book)

Well, I would play, but I have one week until exams and lots of papers due
before then, so, if you're allowing people in the middle of the campaign,
then I'd be happy to play, starting a little over a week from today...BTW,
this is in person, right?
