Did anybody else find Imperial Assauts "Jabbas Realm" to be not a good next choice for an expansion? I figured FFG would of went Endor or the Death Star, something relevant to the main plot of the original trilogy.

>>51338081
WTF are you talking about? Jabba's palace is the obvious place to set an expansion after Bespin. If anything, it's too predictable.

>Twin Shadows
The part of Tatooine with seedy cantinas and Tusken Raiders, like we see in the first act of A New Hope
>Return to Hoth
Hoth, duh, the first act of The Empire Strikes Back
>The Bespin Gambit
Cloud City, the third act of ESB
>Jabba's Realm
The part of Tatooine we see in the first act of Return of the Jedi

So what are we missing chronologically? On board the first Death Star, which is not a place to set even a mini-campaign; the Death Star trench run, which is for X-Wing, not Imperial Assault; and Dabogah, where exactly three characters appeared in the entire OT.

Endor will probably be the next large expansion (I don't think FFG would try to cram it into a small box, anyway). Expect Scout Troopers, Ewoks, a Rebel general version of Han Solo, and if we're lucky, Palpatine. The Jabba's Realm wave gave us a head start on Endor with pic related.

They really are unparalleled at exploding if you can get their side arcs in your line of fire. On the flip side, they're one of the most efficient snipers out their front arc, especially with the Salvation title.

>>51338779
If you can, watch Kill!. It's a more humorous adaptation of the same book that Kurosawa based Yojimbo off of.

Well my party's bounty hunter droid just jihaded the hell out of an Inquisitor.

Against all odds the party had managed to beat her down, but she was fleeing, and thanks to Enhance jumps she was getting the fuck out of dodge faster than anyone could really keep up with, was sitting there all smug thinking I had a recurring villain on my hands.

Cue the bounty hunter droid deciding that escape isn't on menu, engaging his jetpack and tackling her out of the fucking air while detonating an armour piercing charge he had in his chest cavity. Bits of him rained down all over the battlefield, but the party's ass is now covered and they have a pretty cool story to tell, even if they lost a crewmate.

He was a modified B1 Battle Droid, so it's kind of appropriate that he blew the fuck out of a force user. Finally got that jedi scum. Like pottery.

>>51339024
Will do

So how do I efficiently run the firespray in scum lists? I really like Kath Scarlet, but Boba also has his charm.

Who to pair with them? (only got one firespray, unfortunately)

>>51339034
Well on the bright side, the Empire now has a very good reason to throw a heavy fist the parties direction now.

I made my old party regret the day they decided to gib a trainee Inquisitor after the party Jedi. They even recorded it and uploaded it to the holonet for kicks. This was only our second ever Star Wars game so they didn't exactly realize the penalty of antagonizing the Empire like that but they got taught quickly enough. Fun times.

>>51338081
Endor is likely next. Jabba's Realm is pretty fuckin baller, though. Jet Troopers!

Possible IA expansions
>Endor
Ewoks, scout troopers, Han/Chewie/AT-ST that's worth a damn
>Lothal
AT-PTs, Security droids (Death Troopers), Hondo
>TFA, maybe Maz's castle
Crimson Corsair, FO and Resistance dudes, roly poly monsters
>Jedha
Partisans, tanks, crazy weirdo alien shit, Death Troopers?
>Geonosis
Battle droids pls

>>51339259
Things will definitely escalate, for sure. I loved the session though, it was a really nice end to that character, even if he had a lot of potential that kind of got snuffed out.

Losing his friend has also made the party jedi's rapid spiral into the dark side accelerate that bit more, he's probably going to fall in a session or two at this rate.

>>51339339
>inb4 Lothal, infiltrator droids, Lasats, statblocks for Mining Guild TIE and inquisicopter

>>51339216
At our regionals yesterday (128 players, I think) the guy who made second had Boba and Ketsu.

Kath I like to run with fearlessness and dengar or tail gunner plus glitterstim and an optional engine upgrade. Boba I like VI, engine, glitterstim, latts/tactician/tail gunner, and proton bombs.

Solid ship, fun to fly, definitely unforgiving without engine upgrade.

Were E-wings meant to look like Vipers from BSG, or is it coincidence?
If it's intentional, is it homage or blatant rip-off.
Also, T-wings

>>51339939
E-wings look nothing like Vipers. Vipers were made from McQuarrie drawings anyway.

They're not dissimilar

>>51340058
That's a hell of a stretch, even for Reed Richards.

>>51340058
E-wings are just lazily derivative from existing designs. Existing designs are already similar to the Viper, since they were both made by the same damn concept artist.

That's the extent of their similarity.

Alright, I googled it and there are even memes on other SW communities about how similar they look.

Any scans of Friends Like These up yet?

I'm curious about the Mando Human and the statblock for a Raider.

>>51340261
Literally the only similarity is they're both snub fighters with a long nose and short wings.

>>51338619
as said by others, the Nebulon-B may be a reletively small ship, but it can punch well above its size class.

a pair of Nebulon-Bs have the potential to bring down a Star Destroyer.

My AoR group needs to get to Byss in order to destroy the Empires newest project. Now I realize that Byss's location is a well guarded secret. so I was wondering how they might go about finding it's coordinates, any ideas?

For EotE character creation, do you go RAW when it comes to starting cash / equipment or do you do it differently?
What about starting spaceship?

Will the Nebulon B ever see itself in X-wing?
I wouldn't even mind if they scaled it to 1/400 and made it 5 Epic points. I'd buy it on day one and run the shit out of it.

>>51340656
that means nothing

>>51340603
Breaking into an ISB complex?
Interrogating a janitor/radar technician that might have worked there?
Put a tracking device on a ship thats bound for that direction?
Apply to an Imperial job posting, work your way up to be shipped off to any "Top Secret" assignments?
Find an information broker in the Hutt underworld?

>>51340622

I'm pretty sure a pair of frigates could take down a VSD I. That thing was just not up to snuff for space combat in the rebellion era.

ISDI, ISDII, or VSDII are probably too much for two frigates, though. Those ships were made to dominate in space combat.

>>51340622
comparing them in armada:
Two Neb-Bs with Spinal armaments pump out 4 red dice each from the front arc
A regular Star Destroyer has 11 hull points and 4,3,3,2 in shield values

Ok, so they won't bring it down in one salvo but if the manage to stick to its ass for a while they can burn away enough to detonate or severely cripple the ISD

Xwing question.

Is the starviper viable, and is it possible to make any fun/thematic lists with it?

>>51341228
It's overcosted, but it's got an amazing dial so you can definitely make it work.

Does anyone have experience playing EotE or the similar rpgs over voice chat? I'm looking to GM my first time with this and I'm wondering if the game mechanics are too difficult when not in person with your players

>>51341262
overcosted. So how to shave points to make it evencosted then?

How bad of an idea is it to give a party a Firespray as their starting ship?

>>51341570
>How bad of an idea is it to give a party a Firespray as their starting ship?
not bad at all if the party likes collecting bounties for a living. I mean its listed AS one of the four starting ships in the EotE core.

>>51341570
It's not a BAD idea, but one pilot, no copilot, no gunners can make it boring for the crew. If they're okay with space combat being a mostly one-man show, then it's fine. There are still things they can do in combat (look for a table titled "Additional Starship and Vehicle Actions"), just not the exciting stuff.

>>51340058
E-Wings are so boring looking.

>>51341357

Wait for a scum aces pack.

>>51341314

Yep, do it all the time. I haven't had any problems. Use a dice roller which calculates the results and it should be too hard to teach. People struggle a little with the symbology but that's not inherent to say, using discord or google hangouts.

Anyone else run their games in a vaguely defined post-Endor time period? The Wookiepedia crew has a potent strain of autism, so I can't stand to go there. In my mind, following the Empire's defeat at Endor, the New Republic was formed with Leia as Chancellor, Han and Leia married, the Imperial Remnant retreated to the Outer Rim under Thrawn and began infighting, and Mandalore remains withdrawn, neutral and badass (the lore with all this darksaber/death watch/Satine/ shit never happened). The Jedi academy is established on Yavin IV and a Sith Cult is established in the Unknown Regions. Rich Vos is playing tonight at the Laugh It Up! Comedy Club (inside Mahooney's Irish Pub and Steakhouse) in Poughkeepsie, tickets start at only $10.

Was cool with it until this part. As much as I hate a lot of the clone wars and rebels stuff including mandos having the mandos as better than thou special snowflake tacticools is why they sucked in late EU

>>51339996
You're thinking of Thunderfighters for Buck Rogers, which were the original Viper design.

>>51341965
And I should be using a dice roller that actually uses the Star Wars dice right? Not the regular dice and try to convert it

>>51341228
It's solid, but definitely overcosted by a bit. Think pre-vets Defenders. Guri is money, very action efficient and good in a mindlink list.

>>51341965

Would it be okay to start off my AoR party A4 (i.e. one-man) Y-Wings instead of S3s (two-man)? Would any significant problems arise from this? I'm running a starfighter-centric campaign with space combat fixes, FYI.

>>51342124
No, McQuarrie also made the final Viper concept.

>>51343210
You are correct, I apologize for my ignorance.

>>51343030

Can't see why not. It does mean the party can do 4 things per round, instead of 2 (effectively), but there are surely some disadvantages to making everyone require pilot skills.

Plus, spare parts and maintenance are going to be killers. Good luck keeping all 4 flying at the same time.

To be fair, he lost his "Man with No Name" in the early EU, then the Prequels further facilitated it while The Clone Wars tried to give some of it back to him.

>>51345081
You're right, I'm sorry. Have you got a good image of a vehicle-size blaster cannon in an action pose where it's not hidden inside a TIE or something?

>>51344925
>>51345081
So let me get this straight.

The droid army. Has guns. That have to be loaded manually. And have spent... casings? everywhere.

This is a silly setting.

>>51345087
Besides the reason he turned was Padme that episode has nothing to do with her, as I remember

>>51344560

AFAIK, at least in nucanon (and my chosen canon, teehee) lasers are more or less identical to blasters, with one major difference.

A 'blaster' weapon converts a blaster gas into a plasma by processing it through an XCiter, which uses electricity stored in a power pack (or in the rare case of ship-mounted blasters, from the ship's reactor) to cause the state change.

A laser uses a high-powered laser to cause the state change, which is more expensive and harder to miniaturize, in exchange for better results in terms of plasma output, which leads to more damage and range.

A turbolaser is the same principal, except with an even more powerful laser. Even bigger, even more energy required, et cetera.

A superlaser... you get the idea.

Heavy Battle Armor is practically Mandalorian Armor, right?

>>51345171
The guns on the Naboo Speeders are blasters cannons iirc.

>>51345256

That's the art they use for it, anyway.

>>51345185
Droid NAVY, senpai. It's an old-school flak gun, so the casing holds all the shrapnel and shit.

Anyone knows the rules regarding out of combat Force checks in EoE?

>>51344992
A bit to fat yeah. Assault missiles, especially without guidance Chips, feels a bit wasted on a ship that's gonna roll 4 attack dice always anyways, so that's one thing to drop.

>>51345689
Should I replace those 5 points with a torp on the X-wing? or should I try dropping enough stuff to fit a 3rd ship in the list?

>>51345621

The same as in combat Force checks?

>>51345737
I would say upgrade the X-wing, maybe go to a more expensive pilot or loadout. For only 37 points you can do Nien Numb + Stay on Target + Targetting Astro + Pattern Analyzer + Autothrusters which makes for a super maneuverable, survivable and fun ship to fly.

>>51343030
So what's the plan with the starfighter-centric game other than "shoot stuff?"

And have you considered using the upgrades, tweaks, and repairs that the PCs will need as mechanisms to drive the story?

>>51345779
but do you roll for a scene or for any action, or can you spam force powers? I guess it's the gamemaster's call?

>>51345087
There's also the time a potential Seperatist spy is hitting on Padme and Anakin loses his shit

>>51345951

I mean, you can roll as many times as you like - the only thing stopping you is failure, but the "time scale" of Force powers is deliberately ambiguous, so outside of structured time your GM can easily go, "Okay, you failed to use Influence, the stormtrooper has busted out his binder cuffs and is gesturing fo you to put your hands behind your back"

There's no limit to the amount of times you can roll a power, but time doesn't stop while you try and do so.

>>51345950

Reading about this makes me want to run a "Wing Commander"-style story & game now.

>>51345256

I believe Mandalorian armor had the same stats as heavy battle armor in the Friends Like These adventure. However, the latest update to No Disintegrations specifically mentions the "impressive quality and legendary status" of Mandalorian armor, so it might have separate stats for it in that book.

For my AoR campaign I'm considering giving my players a deliberately non-R series Astromech droid due to their cell's resources being scarce. Something that sort of performs all the same functions but is needlessly more complicated because of all the patents the R-series manufacturers have in place.

What do you think would be some entertainingly frustrating equivalent functions it could have? I was considering something like it's not able to dock with starfighters, so to connect it you have to have it inside the cockpit with you taking up space and being a nuisance.

The head is detachable and "extra-modular!" It's sold as a feature, but really, it's just a nuisance. Finding compatible sockets is difficult, and despite promises from the manufacturer, no two body types ever seem to work the same way.

Rather than inserting the whole droid into a socket in your fighter, you pop the head off and insert it into a custom (and very finnicky) docking port.

Pro: The droid has the language library of a mid-range protocol droid, and can understand instructions given by almost any being, droid, or system.

Con: It doesn't have proper speakers, just a couple of those motherboard beepers set to different tones. And they're buried inside its head, so they're a bit tough to hear.

Pro: Its enormous comm library includes programming languages, and the droid can manipulate most systems that an R2 unit could. In some cases it even does a better job.

Con: The droid's computer probe is a proprietary model which the manufacturer thought would replace galactic standard comm ports. It did not. No-one has ever figured out how to replace the probe without bricking the droid, so it needs special adapters to jack into a computer. No company has made one in over twenty years.

Funnily enough they chose to use fuck huge ion rather than actual lasers because they penetrate ISD shields, which are too tonka stronk even for batteries of that size, and guarantee to disable where even direct damage probably wont do enough work against it's hull.

That's assuming the ISD being shot doesn't use any defense tokens, which isn't likely.
Hell, an ISD II with Spinal Armament and a Concentrate Fire command gives them 10 dice out of their front arc. Add in Gunnery Teams and they could down two Neb-B's in one round. They could take SW-7 Ion Batteries for even more damage.

>>51349782
The only one I thought that was actually sensible was the Galaxy gun, and that was similar to starkiller base and modern ICBMs in that it was a weapon with reach that was kept secured in your territory.

Oh brother, are you in for a world of discovery.

Galaxy Gun (Shoot planet killer missiles through hyperspace!)

Darksaber (Shitty budget superlaser built by Durga the Hutt using every single cost-cutting measure in the book I never fired and was crushed by asteroids!)

World Devestators (Consume a planet's raw materials and turn them into resources to build drone fighters!)

Torpedo Spheres (Mini Death Stars built to bomb the shit out of a planet)

The Krytos Virus (Super-virulent Space Leprosy!

Drochs (Ancient bio-engineered bugs that cause the Death Seed Plague)

Omega Ice (Snap-freeze anything, including a Rebel fleet! Brought to you by TaggeCo!)

The Tarkin (Basically a smaller-scale superlaser station as a kind of interim between the Death Stars)

There's more, of course.

In my campaign, Durga somehow got the Darksaber up and running. It's more like a laser shotgun - it can't destroy a planet, but it sure can fuck up its atmosphere - but it's allowed him to carve out a little empire of his own.

It's also remarkably effective against ships. It's not accurate, but anything in the cone of fire tends to melt.

How do you justify parties important enough to be commanding a moderately sized capital ship still landing and doing shit as a party?

Party is AoR fighter squadron who are decently high up in the rebellion and have been given operational command of a vent or they previously liberated for their missions around the galaxy.

It's easy enough to justify why they don't solve the problem with the ship, it is kinda fragile, but it is harder to explain why they deal with problems personally.

You pretty much can't. It doesn't make sense for the leadership of a crew that numbers in at minimum the hundreds to be going down and doing Away Team things themselves. There are certain circumstances - they're forced into it by the ship crashing, the away team(s) they send first lose contact, et cetera - but it's hard to do that over and over.

This is the same problem I ran into when I played Rogue Trader; if I'm the Master at Arms of a capital ship with an armed forces detail of thousands of men, it doesn't make any sense for my response to any 'go explore this ancient ruin!' adventure or whatever to not be sending a few dozen men.

Fuck this canon.

>>51351625
The Mando one.

>>51351625
Ahsoka could be wrong she has been away from the Jedi for quite a while, and there's no indication other crystals couldn't function for use in lightsabers, as of yet, unless I'm missing something.

>>51351495
Maybe the crystal just liked that color and shape?

>>51351659
I see it as the crystal bonds to it's user. They said no Mandalorian had ever been a Jedi before. So maybe the Darksaber blade is just how Kyber crystals respond to being used by a Mando?

>>51351654
This is the theory I like the best. One because Ahsoka is way too mary sue in star wars in the actual meaning of the term, and also because people take everything that people say to each other in universe as absolute canon when people can and do fuck up all the time

>>51351720
>I see it as the crystal bonds to it's user.
This is pretty explicitly stated in Sabine's training montage in rebels.

>>51351757
What even is the purpose of the bond? The films show that lightsabers don't function any differently when they're in the hands of people other than their original owners. Han made the Tauntaun sleeping bag, Anakin's saber changes hands often, and Grievous keeps a collection of trophy sabers for his own personal use. Then in at least one canon comic, Han and Leia get their hands on more lightsabers courtesy of R2 and use them successfully. There are comments about how odd they feel when wielded, but that can just as easily be attributed to the lack of mass in the blade and other technobabble.

>>51351728
Well, honestly, if what Ahsoka said is true, there wouldn't be Lightsabers at all until someone discovered Kyber, and figured out that it could be used for making contained plasma blades, among other things.
That and I liked the many, many colors of sabers in legends.
While different colors could work with either continuity, I like to think the Kyber is the power source and something else is the focusing crystal.

>>51351851
In the episode they talk about how the blade feels lighter to her as she bonds with the crystal. I understand that to mean less unwieldy rather than actually weighing less. That would explain why a dark force user would bleed their crystal, so they could achieve greater finesse with less effort, but anyone could make the blade pop out of the handle and swing.

>>51351892
They didn't mention the crystal at all. Could easily just be a wanky Jedi way of saying she was getting used to the sword.

>>51351851
I thought of it as more that it enhances their connection with the force rather than their saber skills and a skilled duelist just doesn't care.
Or something like that

>>51351913

Factually incorrect. "Energy constantly flows through the crystal. You're not fighting with a simple blade as much as you're directing a current of power. Your thoughs, you actions, they become energy. They flow through the crystal as well and become a part of the blade."

Would you allow an aging clone trooper in your EotE/AoR games as a player character?

>>51351892
>I understand that to mean less unwieldy rather than actually weighing less.
If that's the case, then it doesn't really fall in line with the films. Anakin didn't seem to behave any differently with the spare lightsabers he and Obi-Wan used to fight Dooku on Geonosis. You'd think that with his inexperience at the time, there would have been a visible change in his movements, but no, it's just as spinny and fancy as the rest of the PT's saber fights. Nobody seems to have any trouble messing around with the Skywalker hand-me-down saber, either.

>>51351973

>>51351973

About a decade pass between phantom menace and AotC, so I'm not sure that's the right word. I could spin some shit about how Anakin was still following the path of light, so the crystal didn't resist his movements, but we both know it'd just be conjecture.

>>51352040
Well, she says it before her big exposition, so I'm not too sure about that.

>>51351982
It could just be that in the waning days of the jedi they're just acting out tradition without knowing why.

The Grand Inquisitor uses Kanan's lightsaber with no issue whatsoever.

If I'm using a Nebulon with Salvation what would be better: Slaved Turrets or Turbolaser Re-routes?

Obviously an extra red die is great with Salvation but I also like the guaranteed double damage. But on the other hand Nebulon lacks a redundant Evade icon so I dunno.

>>51352043
No your conjecture would be shitty headcanon because during PT Lucas never envisioned shitty HP wand lightsabers. Fucking Disney nucanon is severly pissing me off. Lightsabers work whether you are attuned to light or darkside holy shit what the fuck?

I mean, how would I create conflict? The rebellion is fucked and the Empire's response to any real rebel threat would "Death Star". They would probably also realize the massive flaw the Death Star has after it is almost destroyed, and then make efforts to protect it. I don't really see how they can get an edge here, except for having half the Imperial Military defect due to Tarkin's unrestrained use of a planet destroying battlestation.

>>51352371
Yavin was just one cell out of many. The galaxy is a big place and the Death Star can't be everywhere. Instead of trying for a second kill shot right away, maybe the Rebels attack the Death Star's logistical network. A massive, one-of-a-kind battle station requires large quantities of food, fuel, water, and spare parts, as well as a whole lot of freighters to carry those supplies. We also know that Tarkin's decision-making skills are compromised by hubris. So some cells bait Tarkin, lure the Death Star somewhere strategically insignificant, and keep forcing it on wild goose chases. This gives other cells the opportunity to hit the Death Star's supply network or operate under pre-Death Star conditions.

>>51352371
There's shitloads of conflict in a rebellion pushed to the edge of extinction, anon. Scattered across the stars with no planet willing to support them, just barely subsisting with only the fanatic diehards willing to keep up the fight, something as simple as food and fuel hard to come by, struggling not to degenerate into just another band of pirates; loads and loads of conflict.

Alternatively, skip ahead to when Sheevy P finally kicks the bucket of natural causes (or "natural causes") resulting in full blown civil war, the DS gets destroyed by internal sabotage, the Imperial apparatus starts ripping itself apart and suddenly whatever is left of the Rebellion finds itself in the best possible position it could ask for.

>>51352477
And the other cells get ratted out by planetary populations scared of being vaporised

>>51352477
Yeah, it was just cell, but it and all the others were funded and supplied by worlds and people who would now be questioning its continued allegiance to the Rebellion in light of its failure and Alderaan's destruction. Worlds like Mon Cala were in open rebellion, and I imagine Tarkin would immediately target that one in particular to destroy the Rebellion's major source of ships.

While it is true that the Death Star cannot be everywhere, nothing will help you when it actually gets to you. That though will be enough to keep many in line.

>>51352624
Well, the rebellion could probably get a lot of support from small groups not worth blowing up a planet over. Like, you have a planet of a billion people and about a thousand of them are actively supporting the Rebellion, that's not worth destroying the planet over. And a thousand people each on a million or so worlds adds up to a decent amount of resources. And that's discounting possibilities like setting up bases in the shallow Unknown Regions, friendly asteroid miners who don't inhabit any planet, etc.

Plenty of cells could live on uninhabited shitholes, mobile fleets, or in cover so deep that the local planetary population isn't even aware that they exist. A cell that has compromised its opsec that hard has fucked up spectacularly already.

>>51352624
Yeah, the supply situation would be fucked. The Rebellion would have to rely more heavily on scavenging and stealing Imp and pirate gear to get by. The Mon Cal homeworld would also be fucked, though if word gets out quick enough, the Mon Cal could feasibly evacuate their homeworld while bleeding the Imperial vanguard elements, especially if the homeworld is defended as heavily as in Legends. Losses in manpower, resources, and faith would be horrendous, but I can see the Rebellion surviving in a diminished form if it doubles down on the secrecy.

>>51352703
There's tens of thousands of systems.

>>51352692
Also worth pointing out once the Empire IS desperate enough to start blowing those planets up the entire galaxy will rise up in anger. The truth is that the Death Star was a self-defeating plan, it would have just taken several billion lives being lost before it happened if Luke didn't get involved.

It's straight from Lucas himself. It started in the youngling episodes in TCW. Kyber Crystals are semi-living and can attune themselves to people. Usually to good force sensitives like the Jedi, who make weapons from them, but the crystals have meaning to other groups and individuals around the galaxy. The color of the blade is seemingly random.

Dark siders can't actually find their own, so they must corrupt and control a crystal against it's will. Which turns the blade red. (This might be because the Sith appropriated the Jedi's weapon, but that's just my speculation) Ahsoka's crystals happened to be stolen by an inquisitor, so she purified when taking them back. It turned them white.

The crystals come in large sizes as well, and the giant crystal Galen worked on had strange effects on him. It's also possible the Sith used these types of crystals to construct ancient super weapons.

Well, he also left the darksaber bomb in because he didn't think vibroblades were cool enough to stop lightsabers (even though LFL clearly isn't dramatically against the mythos of cortosis as they don't stop FFG from printing it in F&D which has a weird blend of nu and EU material on sabers) and it took Lucasfilm like 3 seasons of rebels to actually come up with a decent explanation.

>>51353691
>even though LFL clearly isn't dramatically against the mythos of cortosis as they don't stop FFG from printing it in F&D which has a weird blend of nu and EU material on sabers
FFG also doesn't pay any attention to the modern lore about crystals. And Mara Jade is in their games.

What career/specialization for a Bothan who prides herself on having a wide array of less-than-legal contacts with wide skillsets? I want her to be someone who excels at knowing the right person for any job and doesn't have to do much but talk and pay.

Is there a good savage spirits scan yet?

>>51353788

Well, the novel Ahsoka came out after F&D, so it couldn't have had an impact - we know FFG only has limited access to materials before they come out.

However, F&D does reflect the start of the modern attitude on sabers, they explictly mention Kyber, and state that the different types of crystals are all somehow different deposits or varieties of Kyber (e/g, Krayt Dragon Pearls used in a saber mean the Krayt dragon ate some crystals which were then polished in it's throat).

And Mara Jade in non-lore driven games.

Have the worst ship ever designed.

>>51340605
I tend to sit down with my players sight unseen of the books and ask what kind of freighter designs they like from the films, what they want their ship to be doing functionally, etc. Then make a shortlist together with everyone and narrow it down from ships that are around the 110,000 credits mark from CEC (so remember that if they really like stuff like, say, Mon Cal designs, those ships are going to be at a premium on cost even though they aren't that much better).

With regards to equipment, I tend to run with starting plus one item(Not weapon/armour) that helps define the PC's backstory, or their role in the party. (For that I tend to set a limit of about 500 Credit/rarity 7 or lower)

The political situation post-Endor I've been running with makes things a little more of a clusterfuck, which I am quite enjoying/is working quite well.
Imperial Warlords fighting eachother in the outer rim, ranging from moustache twizzlingly evil to actually pretty OK guys (the latter especially in bumfuck middle of nowhere outer rim systems, where they got 'sideways promoted' for being too damn reasonable). They are steadily starting to distill themselves into the 'Galactic Order is the most important thing and the New Republic are the biggest sellers of that right now' and 'Eating Whaladon Meat, Enslavin Wookies and Hunting for Dark Side Artifacts was really what the Empire was all about' camp that will inevitably become the First Order.
A lot of neutral systems, Mandalore included, that are incredibly suspicious of the New Republic. Basically a reformation of the CNS from the Clone Wars.
The Republic trying to gobble systems up to protect them, but it is a lumbering, inefficient body already with a populace exhausted by war, and sick and tired of intervention politics.

RPG question fellas

I'm having a slicer try and weigh down the PC's in my AoR game. Basically try and hack into their lives, move credits around, generally make it hard for them to try anything.

Problem is they're non-violent, and I'm having them have an 'insurance file' that they can give to the PC's so this NPC can get away with her life.

What should be in the file? I'm thinking known rebel leaders/agents and their prison locations. Does that work?

I like this idea.

>>51354314

Keep the rolling pin as the central core. Put the 2 pork chop/belt things on either side as 4 engines. 2 big ones up top, 2 small ones below. Create that "X" silhouette.

I like the big fuck-off front laser. And the weird bridge - maybe it's only wide enough for one?

What a weird design.

>>51354314
There we go. That looks indeed like a ghetto cruiser thing.

You dont need cargo when you can just blow up a starship. If you manage to aim it, ofcourse.

It's fun, especially if you pair it with a decent Heavy. Bonus points if you dual-spec into something that has Deadly Accuracy. I still have fond memories of my Hutt heavy dealing something like 35+ damage in a single turn's worth of blasting away.

>>51355257
So the lower section is mostly engines, while the upper bit is the actual living quarters, etc?

I like it, but I might rearrange the engines a bit. They look flimsy as-is.

that's the idea, yes.

The reactor is designed to be unstable. The point of your game is to arrange a situation where you can feed in a saboteur squadron.

Looks like my players are soon to own a fancy bar in Nar Shaddaa. Wonder how I should handle this?

I'm thinking regular credit income (once they staff it), but adding a small obligation for the bar, which when rolled, indicates shit going wrong that needs attending to.

>>51355858
>upcomming hutt wants to expand
>bounty hunters select their new haunt
>the empire installs a listening post

>>51355858
I think running the bar as an obligation is a great idea. Force them into the tough position of snitching in their patrons to the Empire. Compliance is rewarded, but there might be some groups you don't want to piss off.
(Bonus points if you put an actually nice and completely unobjectionable Rebel sect that holes up and discusses in the back room)

How would a player beat the obligation of addiction when not imbibing in it makes it grow?

>>51356126
Going through proper medical/psychological treatment to beat the problem.

Identifying and dealing with the root causes of the addiction. People are rarely addicted to drugs just because, there's usually something not right in their life pushing them in that direction.

>>51356126

Hmm. I'd say modify that front end to move and then the green tanks could be modular so that they release when the ship gets to port and then it can easily pick up two full tanks and be on its merry way without having to wait for the tanks to be drained.
Or I guess all the little claspy bits on the side could release them.

>>51356712
Rodians aren't too terrible. Although seriously, they work better with guns right from the off, you'd spend less XP making one a Gunslinger.
Trandos are superior Marauders and general melee combatants right from the off, plus they can regenerate if you, like me, keep getting limbs hacked off on the crit table.

Players are going to raid the mansion home of a rich crime lord next session. Dude has a particular interest in ancient artifacts, has vaults in his home that rival some museums. No particular interest, he's as interested in ancient Jedi artifacts as he is cool statues from foreign cultures.
