So my players want to assassinate an Imperial officer who's screwed them over. I think targeting the officer at like an empire party at an academy would be way cooler than trying to take on a star destroyer. It'd also be fun if they get frisked going in so they can't just shoot their way out. Anyone ever do a hitman style adventure using the eote rules? Any ideas?

Onar Koma is another I'd like to try. Build him pretty much as a pure tank, peeling for his team, defending them, and (with the right weapon) stunning enemies. I'm not sure how effective it would be, though, with most enemies having ranged attacks.

I like the game enough that I've even delved into painting the figures. But goddamn there are so many, and I'm dreading painting Stormtroopers -- all that white armor.

One of my players is actually a Vratix!

Does this sound like a good intro to Edge of the empire?

Fargo the Hutt is a rather odd Hutt , far more cunning then violent. His schemes tend to be a never ending tunnel of webs, preferring to keep to crooked business behind legal tape.

However in years past such ways cannot sustain themselves under the empire's 'tyranny.'

Fargo has come into a large sum a credits, He used trusted agents to sell out many crime lords to the empire recently to get himself out of hard times and is now offering you three the deal of a life time. A job that needs to done off planet and a ship.

What could go wrong?

>>51663920
Sounds cool. Just remember that Fargo will have made a lot of enemies selling out other crime bosses like that. Black Sun might not be happy if some of those guys were theirs.

>>51663963
In the scenario he was found out yes. So I figured what I could do for a good twist to build on this was have the ship the party gets have some sort of tracking device or some type of marking on it that associates it with Fargo.

>Thyferran cinnamon harvesting is regarded as hard work by most Vratix. It takes both nimble digits to harvest the bark without killing the tree, and strong constitution to tolerate the odious, insect-repelling spice. In recent years, the trade has been replaced by droid labor, making it something of a dying art. The cinnamon has also become popular with bacta smugglers, who like the wide berth the port authorities give it, allowing them to mask their real cargo.

Is there any good non-SW wargame that could be adapted to do large-scale (25+ capital ships) star wars space battles?

- Who previously owned this ship, and what did they do wrong?
- Would you rather fight one hundred Loth-cat sized Rancors, or one Rancor-sized Loth-cat?
- The correct answer is to make the players fight both

-Tumorwort, a lovely starchy leaf. A bit like eating a potato pancake with veins
-Frenzo's Mixed Powder, which carmelizes any sugars it encounters without releasing heat or gasses

Not bad. Lack of EU and Crew on Miranda are the glaring holes.

>>51665470
Also not bad. Though I've never been much convinced of the utility of Barons. The Empire has much better ships overall. Also dear god give him autothrusters, you have the point.

>>51667035
Anakin and Obi are way overpriced compared to the generic and Mace. Obi's has a significant downside, should be 23, Anakin should be 26.

Also, Mace's ability is god-tier. That is ridiculously good, and would allow him to be a fantastic finisher.

The ship itself didn't have shields though. I've long thought the Eta-2, if it ever got into the game, should be native four agility with three hull. Price appropriately.

Is it just me, or is Disney trying to downplay/nerf Wedge?

>N-1 always seemed like it was really fast in a straight line but not very nimble to me.
they still show a good amount of agility in the movie, at least 2 green dice in xwing. 3 wouldn't be a stretch. The things are smaller than an Awing. 2 hull 2-3 sheilds would be better.


Also IMO anikins spinning trick seems more appropriate as the evade action than barrel roll (since it was just spinning and not a barrel roll).

>>51667961
How old exactly do you think the target audience of Star Wars is?

>>51667982
Anakin's got the exact same statline and ability as he does when piloting the Advanced, aside from having an Astromech instead of a Missile slot and the fact that I forgot to make him PS9.

Mace would be a great finisher but getting him to survive that long with a damage based ability would be an issue.

Go back and watch ANH. Realize that Wedge basically does nothing whatsoever.

>>51668041
At least Poe actually establishes his ace pilot cred in that scene where he shoots down like seven TIE/fos

He's OK, but Wedge will always be my number one. I've wanted to be him ever since I was nine years old playing Rogue Squadron.

>>51668065
Luke would have been dead if it weren't for him.
Also, I'm not just talking about the films. His outings in the new novels and comics (and Rebels) have been far from impressive, especially when compared to Legends.

Those of you who play x-wing, is the Firespray any good at all or is it only good sitting on a shelf?

>>51668162
Can be good, but is loaded up with trap options. Krassis Trelix with a heavy laser cannon is nice though.

Kind of hard to push Wedge as a big thing when Lawson is unavailable and the only one writing him post-Endor is Chuck Wendig. Rebels naturally won't push him hard because he's a muggle and not part of the Ghost team or a major hero of the Rebellion at that point in time. He can't sell many toys because, again, muggle, and T-65 already sells itself. Lawson also wants a big, interesting role, which he probably won't ever get since the current marketing climate appears to favor Forcewank. He's also old, probably busy with other shows/films, and not based in the USA, thus adding another layer of difficulty.

The Ace of Aces probably won't be coming back any time soon. Maybe we'll see Syal and Myri again, but the man himself? Maybe when hell freezes over, Michael Stackpole gets the call, Aaron Allston comes back from the dead, and an /swg/ regular gets hired for the creative team.

I'm not entirely sure. They seem to be mostly muscle and motile surface by size. They can inch along at full height, but I bet when flattened they can move at at a decent walking pace. Their little slug-like inching is one option, but their physiology would allow them to do proper snake-like wiggling. No gymnastics, but I bet they don't have problems with stairs.

Plus they can roll easily enough.

They seem to be really lazy though, which makes sense. Moving at all requires huge caloric intake and plenty of muscle. Why bother? You've got slaves.

So are most Americans, but you still get plenty of marathon runners.

Maybe poor or eccentric Hutts are decently fit and nimble. The more successful you are, the less you move. Rich Hutts have everything they want brought to them, satisfying some deep racial urge.

But this isn't lamarckian genetics. Hutts are still mostly muscle and can, in theory, put it to use.

Is that what they're calling the Falklands War now?

So, I'm going to be in an Epic X-Wing game tomorrow, and rather than play it out till the last man standing, we've come up with a victory point system. The scenario is "rebel base evacuation"; Rebel Transports are trying to cross the table to get to the point where they can hyper out and the Imperials are trying to destroy them before they can. Each ship that escapes is two victory points for the rebels, each ship destroyed is one point for the Empire. Scum just chooses one side to join

Each player also gets a randomly assigned objective, from the following list.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WuJWjbfa-PdrOxPTL_qWAaxh6CjqDdUpWP-bdhRXy5A/edit?usp=sharing

Every other round victory point can be spent to call in 100 points of reinforcements, which have to be played by a new player(we'll have people dropping in and out all day)

Team with the most victory points wins.

Should be fun.

Hey /tg/

For scum, Jabba's Realm is the best expansion and best overall value. Two groups of Weequay Pirates, two groups of Gamorrean Guards, the three heroes in it are scum for skirmish, plus the Rancor. You can probably skip the other boxed expansions. HK Assassin Droids (from Return to Hoth) are good, but you only get one regular group and one elite group.

For scum blister packs, Jabba is a great piece of support, Bossk is one of the hardest hitters in the game, a Bantha Rider on the table really changes a game, and Hired Guns are good, cheap filler. I would rate Boba Fett and Greedo both as playable, but difficult to know how to play. Only IG-88 (until the upcoming mini-wave comes out and he gets a fix) and Dengar are actively bad at the moment. And remember, you can bring up to two Rebel groups into scum with Temporary Alliance. Until Jabba's release, a huge portion of scum builds brought the "Rebel Care Package" Gideon Argus and C-3PO for support.

For Rebels in skirmish, you can mostly skip the boxed sets. Return to Hoth and the Bespin Gambit each have one Rebel hero who can be impactful, but not to the point that they are worth getting the box for a single figure.

In the blister packs for Rebels, the only ones I would avoid are Han and Chewie, as their point costs are dramatically overpriced. Point costs for unique figures were really hit-or-miss through about Return to Hoth. I wouldn't get in a rush to buy multiples of any of the generic Rebels until you see how they actually play.

Unusual Weapons

The Star Wars films have an interesting feature. Weapons in them do exactly what the plot requires. There are no Tarantino-esque sudden shots that blow a character apart suddenly. Han doesn't catch a blaster bolt to the back of the head while escaping Tatooine. Leia's arm is just fine, despite a direct hit. Weapons exist purely as plot tools, rather than as... you know, actual weapons.

There also seems to be very little granularity. You've got blasters with the following varieties: pistol, rifle, heavier rifle (on a tripod), heavier rapid fire weapon, and heavy bows or rifles with slow reload times. The limitations are baked into the descriptions. Pistols are smaller but have shorter range. The heavy rifle on a tripod is a threat to a starship at close range, but it takes some time to set up. There are also grenades, missiles, and flamethrowers. They do what they say on the tin.

You can go the classic Fantasy Flight direction and describe 90 types of blasters with slight variations. For /k/ fans, people who love optimizing a build, or loot-driven players, that's completely fine and is a major draw of a system.

My question is: what ranged weapons could exist in the galaxy, alongside the blaster, that fill the same niche of "does gun things" without having too many "extra" mechanics or features?

If this was D&D, what could a character use instead of a bow that still fits into the same niche?

With that shopping list, you won't be missing anything particularly good for Empire.

I might pick up Bossk before Boba Fett for scum.

For Rebels, my top 3 heroes in order would be Obi-Wan, Jedi Luke, and C-3PO/R2-D2 (they're sold as a pair). Top 2 squads would be Echo Base Troopers and Rebel Saboteurs, but you could swap Saboteurs for Wookiees for more front line.

The only figures FFG has released alternate sculpts for are the Stormtroopers. You might be able to find old WotC minis for an alternative Royal Guard -- the scale is close enough, but it probably wouldn't be cheap.

For IG-88, Robot Santa is the easy choice. His sack of "gifts" would even be a good representation of IG-88's "arsenal" ability.

>>51671624

Solid Projectile Weapons

We're playing by Space Opera rules here, which means that slow-moving bright blue blaster bolts that barely scorch a person are /clearly/ superior to bullets. They must be. So solid projectile weapons are clunky and slow. They're more like rivet guns than sleek modern weapons. Even their lighter variants go "CLANG" and have wonderful echoing ricochets.

A Jedi can parry these bullets with ease. The spray of molten metal that results can set things on fire though, and it probably causes tumors. Don't breathe ionized heavy metals kids. It'll stunt your forehead-ridges.

Cold Guns

Flashy, expensive, and extremely hard to maintain, cold guns are the weapons of eccentric bounty hunters and the very wealthy and very cruel. They project a bolt of extraordinarily cold gas. Armour shatters. Flesh freezes. Droids become, very briefly, more efficient. You can shoot someone in the leg and watch them crack their own body apart when they stumble. The range is terrible, they don't work very well in the vacuum of space, the spillback requires fancy gloves (or unusual biology), and they can fill a room with fog and cold vapour in a few shots. There are rumours that the Breenian Bio-Legion exclusively uses these weapons, so that the frozen flesh of their enemies will never know the warmth of the All-Giving Sun.

Gravity Bullets

These aren't the "pin you to the deck" gravity weapons you might be thinking of. Those fall under the "specialized" heading. These are just slug throwers with an unusual property. Their bullets get heavier after impact. Get shot in the chest? The bullet will, after a half second, plummet downwards and exit your left leg.

That's the theory at least. In practice, expect a lot of missed shots and bullets stuck to the deck like obstinate marbles. Nobody uses these weapons anymore.

>If this was D&D, what could a character use instead of a bow that still fits into the same niche?

Bowcasters (wookiees/Chewie), lightbows (Chirrut), and regular bows and slingshots (ewoks) are all seen in Star Wars already.

Weapons that could reasonably be carried by an army, without outclassing or being completely obsoleted by blasters.

Pullers

See that guy over there? What happens if we select a 1x1cm bit of his armour and yank it into our gun, along with everything in front or behind him?

A squad of Ajanian Death-Masters firing their Pullers looks like someone assembling a sliding puzzle in mid air. Neat little sections of deck, air, body parts, armour, and other materials keep lurching forward and then dropping as the weapon recharges. The major disadvantage is that you can't tell what you hit for a half-second, or even where you're aiming. Most Pullers come with laser-lights attached to the front, but the pulling effect bends the laser too. Being shot at is like having a laser pointers aimed at you by drunks while someone tries to poke a hole in your back with a sharpened metal pipe.

Thrum Rifles

What's better than rapid fire against unarmoured enemies? Continuous fire. A Thrum rifle sends out a continuous pulsed blaster beam. The low ebb of the pulse will merely scorch or blind, but the high amplitude bursts pack as much punch as a normal blaster. You either need a backpack power and gas supply or a very, very large weapon. In either case, you can casually sweep away your enemies, provided the weapon doesn't overheat or ricochet in a disastrous way.

Right. The bowcaster or lightbow or whatever is just a heavy blaster, and flamethrowers are really "effect" weapons.

But I do like the sound of flechette guns and lightning guns. Those could work.


>>51671891
Flechette Weapons

Tired of Jedi parrying your solid projectiles and giving everyone lead poisoning? Try the a flechette weapon. It doesn't fare well against armour, but it's like being stabbed to death by a cutlery shotgun if you forgot to wear full blastplate. Fire enough and your enemies, if they live, will be so encumbered they can't fight.

Lightning Weapons, Version 1

What happens if you build a really terrible blaster, but don't kill yourself in the process? You invent the lightning gun. It still shoots bolts,but the plasma is just the charge carrier and packs no kinetic punch. On impact, the magnetic containment bubble unravels and all sorts of electric hell breaks loose. This weapon massacres droids or the heavily armoured, but it has a nasty habit of also electrocuting those who use it. After all, lightning follows the swiftest paths, and you just carved a nice ionized path from your bolt to your weapon. Ceramic armour and a good sturdy biology is recommended.

Lighting Weapons, Version 2

Use a laser, a continuous laser, to carve an ionized path to your target. Then squeeze the trigger and send a proper lightning bolt towards them.

While Version 1's effects range from "ouch" to "and then his entire head caught fire", Version 2 tends to range from "immediately died" to "immediately exploded."

Recharge time is terrible. You fire off a shot and the duck into cover or switch to a secondary weapon. You also have to wait for the ionization path to clear, or just fire and pray the lightning will find its own way. Or you can be a natural lightning-attuned force user, like the Order of Zam. They can make the lightning turn corners.

The best tracker in the galaxy is the Pyruvian Soul Grub. Put one of them on your rifle in a special canister and hook the other end to a display over one eye. The grub will extend angry cilia at every living creature it's pointed towards. The cilia are attuned to range, age, and sentience. With a properly calibrated display you can see the oldest hound in a litter or find your prey in a dense forest.

Aside from the cost, which is enormous, you must implant a second grub - the egg-mate of the one in your scope - somewhere in your body. Its secretions will make you invisible to the first grub's effects. If you work closely with others, they will need grubs of their own. It's not an unpleasant procedure, but the grub's wriggling can keep you up at night.

>>51668630

Fucj I don't want to believe Disney would let him, considering they must know just how popular he was in the old canon. They DID try and get him for the film after all...

But holy fuck if they let fucking WENDIG kill him and then 'replace' him with Wexley, Jesus fuck. I don't actually have a good way to express that pain.

>>51672793
Wedge should be mostly excluded from nucanon. His actor didn't want anything to do with the new movies, and his character was [generic pilot #3]. Replace him with a new ace in new shit.

>>51672926
As far as I read, he didn't hate the idea he just didn't want to basically be a cameo - which I guess is fair, considering he probably knows how beloved he was in the EU and might well hope for at least some of that to follow now.
Or maybe he's just mad at Star Wars and would only doubt if he had a decent/important character cod that would be more money.

Either way, his character's been a fan favourite for literally decades - throwing him out of all canon just because the actor doesn't want to be in the movies now seems...I dunno, adolescent? 'Wow you won't be uh my film, fuck you'?

I'd love to see more rebel and imperial aces explored, I'd love to see s spiritual sequel to Rogue and Wraith squadron - even if they didn't have Wedge - but there's no need to kill him off.

Especially not if it'd be as badly written as the rest of Wendig.

>>51672926

It seems like a bit of a no-win situation for Disney, that. If Wedge isn't there, it would seem to not make a lot of sense. But the actual dude doing Wedge doesn't want to Star Wars. But if you get a new actor to play Wedge chances are that people are going to REEEEEEEE super hard (I mean, people are already REEEEEEing at the fact that they had to get someone else to play young Han Solo).

>>51672976
He said that the role "would bore him." While that might have been P.R.ed to mean "I didn't just want a cameo," that's not what that implies.

Those Rogue and Wraith squadron books will never go away, even if they aren't Canon anymore. There's no reason to retread old ground. Wedge can still exist in Canon and get passing mention, but let's not focus on him.

Instead, let's get a spiritual sequel to Rogue and Wraith squadron in the form of something legitimately new. Imagine how much better a story you could tell with the prompt of "write a good story about a squadron from your own mind" rather than "write a new tale that re-tells a story that's already been told, but don't make the spergs REEEEEE by messing it up."

The new canon gives Lucasfilm a huge opportunity to put new characters in important positions, and I'd rather read that than Wraith squadron fanfiction.

>>51672982
REEEEEEE

>>51673065
In trying to find that quote where he talked about doing it if it was bigger, I find I can't. So either it was a one off interview or more likely it was someone else extrapolating it from what he said.

And sure, the Rogues and Wraiths will always be a thing, certainly in any Star Wars universe I imagine. And sure, making them not canon can't stop that.

But it's always going to be heartbreaking for me that things like Phanan's last scene aren't part of the canon anymore. That was easily the most moving, most well conceived death in any Star Wars novel. Hell, any Star Wars media full stop.

And yeah, I do agree that I'd love to see some new rebel aces explored, or hell, give me something from the point of view of imperial aces, much as it'll pain my soul whenever they shoot down an x-wing.

I'd love to see those novels - even if they never held a candle to Allston, I'd read them happily.
But I don't think eliminating Wedge from the new canon is the way to go.
He has oldcanon stories and that's fine, but in newcanon he's one of the best pilots the rebellion has, surviving both Death Star runs. And then it just sort of ends there, for now, bar Wendigs chicanery.

>>51673065
>Imagine how much better a story you could tell with the prompt of "write a good story about a squadron from your own mind"
Do you want more Wendig? Because that's how you get more Wendig.

>>51673173
Right, but leave it for now. We'll get more Wedge, eventually.

In the meantime, let's have a squadron led by an independent woman pilot! That's a unique perspective never seen in the men's world of sci-fi, right? /s

>>51673202
I don't want more Wendig. I want someone competent.

Were a good author hired, this is a much more fertile ground for a good novel. Hell, I'd write it myself, for free, if they gave me the opportunity.

>>51673205
See id fucking love more female aces.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't aspire to being Tyria like a mad cunt when I was 13, and I'd have wanted to be Lara too if she was t such a basketcase.

I'd genuinely love to see a new rebel squadron doing new stuff, lead by a woman. I'll HAPPILY take stuff about Dameron's mum, even if it means only A-wings instead of an x-waifu.

>>51666984
I've tried to come up with ways to make CIS and Republic into distinct factions since I don't think just adding their ships to existing factions would make for a particularly interesting expansion, what with all the overlap there'd be in ship types. There really isn't all that much stat-line wise you can do to differentiate an aethersprite from an a-wing.

What I came up with was basically CIS ships having only one pilot each and trading out individual ship upgrades for fleet-wide ones so you'd spend maybe 8 points on a pilot skill upgrade and all of your ships would benefit from it making their upgrades more point efficient the more ships you have and capturing that theme of mass produced shit.

I couldn't think of anything very interesting for the Republic except having really good Jedi aces with some force mechanic where they had like a small pool of palpatine-style dice changes but you can only take one and have to fill the rest of the list with clone pilot generics.

>>51673266
I'm okay with around 50% of things being run by women in Star Wars. Even if military stuff has generally been the realm of men, that's only fair, I get it. I'm a dude, but I'm not sexist about this. No problem.

But... since Disney took over, it's been 100% girl powah:

General Leia leads the Resistance.

Norra Wexley is the hot new ace. Her kid Snap follows in her footsteps.

Shara Bey is the other hot new ace. Her kid Poe follows in her footsteps.

Rey represents the next generation of Jedi.

Jyn saves the Rebellion. Mon Mothma continues to run said Rebellion.

Captain Phasma was a woman (with no other character traits) in shiny armor for the express purpose of having more women in Star Wars.

Maz Kanata is the new Yoda.

Grand Admiral Rae Sloane led the Imperial remnant before the Battle of Jakku.

Dr. Aphra out-manipulates Vader like the Mary Sue she is.

Holy fuck there's more than I thought. And pretty much every single one of these was written in because "there need to be more women in Star Wars."

Shit this agenda-pushing has gotten old fast.

I'm looking for some input or ideas. I was making a TOR homebrew system that was focused mostly on sith/jedi combat, but I ended up dropping it because I got distracted with school and I can into a wall for class ideas.

I can make various styles of combat into classes, but the hardest part outside of being a force centered character finding any ways to make a sith/jedi ranged combatants.

Should I just take the easy way out and have normal conscripts become player characters who are not force sensitive to fufill the ranged role?

>>51673334
So close to quads.

If you want my genuine advice, it's something like, "Don't make your own system, instead make a system your own."

Also, classes are awful and only limit what characters can do. If a player wants to manipulate the Force at range, let him roll for it. Don't try to make balanced "ranged classes," it's not an MMO.

>>51673334
>>51673351

This, you don't need a ranged class, but also why can't Jedi fight at range?
Throw shit with the force, throw lightning with the force, deflect enemy bolts back at them or like, they can just pick up a gun. There's nothing stopping them

>>51673351
Well, that's what it is. They end up rolling to see if they succeed in channeling the force in a potent enough manner to do whatever they are trying to do. Like most combat oriented force users end up channeling the force to do amazing feats in combat physically and all that crap.

I'm just worried if it just becomes bland where it's just a bunch of players running up to thinks wacking it with their lightsabers, and then running up to the next thing. That's the only reason why I cared about a ranged class.

Also my worry is if I turn it into a talent buy system where the players can choose what to pick up, and what they desire that they will find a flaw that I do not inherently see and break the game by all using that one talent that seems to be working and don't bother with anything else.

>>51673426
Would it seem lame if a jedi/sith focused on using blasters or preferred them over traditional melee combat?

/swg/, I'm stricken by cataclysmic emptiness. Post your funnest droid ideas.

>>51673449
Why would it be lame?
It's a fucking magic space blaster ninja.

Watch Equilibrium and tell me that a Jedi Gun-kata wouldn't be radical.


Also in some of the EU there were a Jedi group who used blasters instead of sabers. Complete with literally S H O O T I N G blaster bolts out of the air with their own.
It's ridiculous but hilarious at the same time. Grey Paladins I think they were called?

>>51673449
>Also my worry is if I turn it into a talent buy system where the players can choose what to pick up, and what they desire that they will find a flaw that I do not inherently see and break the game by all using that one talent that seems to be working and don't bother with anything else.

So don't reward that behavior. If they start min-maxing, that means you need to vary your encounters. Find what they're not good at and make it central to the environment.

Can't swim? Water planet. Can't pilot? Space. Can't climb? Cliff. Can't jump? Ravine. Can't bluff? Get questioned by Imperial officers. Can't slice a console? Meter-thick durasteel blast door. Can't shoot? Distant enemy. Can't use melee weapons? Close enemy.

Stop just giving it to them. Make them work for it. Three skills can't do everything.

>Would it seem lame if a jedi/sith focused on using blasters or preferred them over traditional melee combat?

If it's a Jedi or Sith, yes. There's plenty of other Force traditions (or make one up) that could do this without it seeming so bad. Look at Baze, Guardian of the Whills, from Rogue One.

I'd approach it from much the same way the Jedi philosophy is arranged around defence peace- having a simple side arm (lightsabre), a general modus of having little/no armour and generally a mix of peacekeeper/diplomat

Now, circumstances change to where the Jedi find themselves still in a peacekeeper role, but due to extreme levels of conflict where they have to fight to protect people- they're going to need to up-armour, increase their potential to kill when they need to do that and might include things like shields, pole-arms, guns of various sorts and even throwing weapons. To me, the Lightsabre is by itself a side-arm like an old .45 colt a police officer might carry in the wild west, but with that old timey twist that a sabre was also a side-arm that a warrior would carry and whip out if they lose their primary battle weapon. In a time of conflict, its got shit reach, decent damage, but not everyone is going to be a master of the sword- you increase their ability to strike from further away, give them a shield and it'll also increase their survivability. A few might even adopt various guns to act as the 'great equaliser' in that a punk getting a shot into the face of a sword master, still ends up with a dead sword master.
You could look at the advent of things like firearms on the battlefields of places like central europe and japan in the 14-1500's where even the knights and samurai figured out, shooting someone in the arse from 50 yards away saved you the hassle of going over there and beating the shit out of them.

Not that a Jedi should be pragmatic, but they also shouldn't be an idiot which fails to adapt to their circumstances.
Light spears, Light Halberds, Cortosis or Energy shields, the odd pistol, some might carry rifles with a light-bayonet or hell- just steal the old Nemesis Force Weapon from 40K which had a blade on one end and bolt gun in the other (cause GW will steal everyone elses shit!)

I like that idea, it makes it valid enough to still have force sensitive users, but not depend on traditional ways.

Yeah, Lawson has always been very positive about his time on Star Wars (Ewan McGregor - his nephew - claimed that Lawson convinced him to take the role in the PT), and he said he'd come back for a bigger role.
I mean, he's pretty comfy as is - he had a long-running show in the UK that wrapped up end of 2015, and he /is/ in his late sixties now. They just wanted him to hang around in the background of the Resistance base in TFA like Ackbar, I'll bet - I can see why you'd find that dull.

Ha ha, been a while. Shit gets in the way. Anyway, 1996's Tales of the Bounty Hunters is the third of the initial “Tales Of” trilogy and has the fewest, but probably best level of quality to the stories. Which is funny, since most of these stories conflict with a lot of the rest of the EU in some form.

Therefore I Am: The Tale of IG-88 by Kevin J. Anderson. So far, this is the best KJA Star Wars story I've covered. Its a tightly plotted story with an almost Grindhouse-sensibility. Holowan Labs activates a top secret assassin droid, who immediately goes rogue and murders them all, uploads his consciousness to three other bodies, and conquers the industrial planet of Mechis III to begin building a secret droid army to KILL ALL HUMANS (AND ALIENS). Knowing he's wanted by the Empire, IG-88 sends out a couple of his twins as bounty hunters to distract the Empire from what he's really doing on Mechis III. He gets outplayed by Boba Fett and two dupes are destroyed, but Iggy eventually uploads his consciousness into the Second Death Star and is about to activate his sleeper droids when the Endor shield goes down.

Kind of bloody and gruesome action scenes mixed with KJA's brand of bumbling bureaucrats for comic relief. Its great and introduces the IG-2000

Payback: The Tale of Dengar by Dave Wolverton. Dengar assassinates a COMPNOR asshole on Aruza rescues Manaroo. We then get a bunch of flashbacks to Dengar being a swoop riding hotshot who gets screwed by Han Solo and gets rebuilt as a cyborg assassin by the Empire because why not? The COMPONOR hit was when he went rogue, and he sort of joins the Rebellion as a freelancer to get closer to Solo, but is always one step behind him. He gets captured by the Empire and Vader puts him on the Solo hunt in exchange for his life. Dengar gets multiple moments where he's a murder machine who's had most of his emotions cut away but he's always one step behind Solo. On Tatooine (after being screwed over by Jabba) he's rescued from the desert by Manaroo and the two officially fall in love and then Dengar finds a badly injured Boba Fett outside the pit of Carkoon. After a tense moment (Fett had screwed him over twice before), the two reconcile and Dengar asks Fett to be the best man at his wedding.

The plot works much better in the context of the story, with Dengar going on a personal journey of finding meaning in life and letting Manaroo help him reconnect with his lost emotions. Good pulpy action and a rather sweet love story for Dengaroo.

The Prize Pelt: The Tale of Bossk by Kathy Tyers. This one's a bit odd since Bossk is the villain of the story and the two main heroes are a pair of Rebel-aligned bounty hunters named Tinian I'att (a petite human woman with a death wish after her lover's death) and Chenlambec (a wookie). The two have a long con scheme to get Bossk for the large number of wookiees he's skinned in the past and form a makeshift alliance with the Trandoshan and keep feeding him bad intel (driving him way the fuck away from Solo in the process). Most of the story is about the cat-and-mouse between them, and spotlighting how fancy the Hound's Tooth is with its largely automated systems. Pretty good, and the OC Donut Steel characters are flawed enough that they're not annoying.

Of Possible Futures: The Tale of Zuckuss and 4-LOM by M. Shayne Bell. The crew of the Mist Hunter have a problem: Zuckuss needs new lungs after being injured in a hunt. As such, they join the hunt for Solo and help cripple the last GR-75 transport leaving Hoth but end up rescuing the crew and delivering them to the Alliance in exchange for medical treatment for Zuckuss. Arguably the least action-oriented story of the bunch, there's a lot of thought about actions and consequences, and 4-LOM desires to understand Intuition while Zuckuss is afraid once the droid learns about his precognitive meditation skills he'll turn on the Gand. In the end the two join the Rebellion, but all that character development gets washed away eventually by other books.

The Last One Standing: The Tale of Boba Fett by Daniel Keys Moran. The best story in the book, but it requires you to read the previous two Tales books to get the full effect. It follows Boba Fett and Han Solo and their various crossings over the years. Fett's backstory here (as Journeyman Protector Jaster Mereel of Concord Dawn) was radically retconned over the years but provided a foundation for later Mando stuff (hell, Concord Dawn shows up in NuCanon). After a bunch of character development showing why Solo's very existence offends Fett, it moves to an older Fett hunting down Kardue'sai'Malloc (Labria, from Moran's Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina story) and capturing the old Devaronian war criminal. From there, we get a midlife crisis Han Solo sneaking away from his friends and family to chase the old thrill of smuggling one more time and having one more confrontation with Fett.

Its been retconned to hell and back even before NuCanon, but the story itself is fucking great, and is a waaaayyyyy better “Last Han Solo Story” than what we actually got in TFA.

Fuckin' A right this book's top tier recommended (well, the whole "Tales of" short story collections are too)

>>51676267
Bacta bombs don't really make sense. Bacta is expensive enough to smuggle, and requires extended contact/immersion to work. It's not magic.

Bacta bombs would just waste bacta on the ground, armor, enemy, whatever is nearby.

It works in MMOs because you need "healers." But that's not tabletop.

Yes, it was. There hasn't been a movie yet without a female lead. The first one we'll get is the Han Solo movie nobody wants.

A friend is contemplating running an Age of Rebellion game, and I've started to read the corebook in preparation.

Did FFG fall into the chargen/live play trap for how to spend experience, as in, did they do what Exalted and Shadowrun did and make one clearly mechanically optimal path to spend (which is what I fear they did)?

Or did they manage to avoid that.

Yeah, that was what I thought when I saw the paucity of stat increases.

How often can you take Dedication?

>>51677327
There's always one per talent tree, with the exception of Force Specialists which get 2 Force Rating increases instead.

>>51677347
Christ that's silly rare. Better spend all those chargen XP on stats first.

Agility seems to be pretty god-stat for all fightmans things that aren't melee, but what about the others? Any clear winners in how useful they are?

The real question is, how do they know anything about your genitals?

>>51677884
Ok, but even if we assumed that's correct, there's still no way to tell what /sort/ of genitals you have.

You're telling me all these species have analagous parts? Really? Even mammals on Earth have a variety of options, and that's not counting in birds, worms, lizards, eels, sea stars, or even stranger things. And we're all related!

That brings up an interesting point. Brothels in Star Wars must require a lot of improvisation.

>>51677957
Well many star wars species are humanoid and of the humanoid species on this planet, their parts are all pretty similar.

>>51677372

I mean, especially once you get some additional XP to spend on talents, skills and signature abilities there's really not a non-viable way to play the game - so all the stats can be very important based on your build.

General wisdom is usually make sure unless you can afford to dump, bump all to 2, then either with your species or with XP make sure you have a couple at 3, maybe 1 at 4 if you're really specializing. By the time you've brought up all your skills that high you'll probably be able to or have hit a dedication in your spec.

Unless you want to go into /pol/ tier territory, there aren't as many as you'd think.

I'm going to assume you know what human genitals look like.

I suggest using google image search and working your way left from humans along the tree and seeing where "pretty similar" stops.

And we're near relatives. In Star Wars, a lot of species share similar body plans, but the details are all over the place.

>>51678254
Why did they draw all the fingers to look like penises?

>>51673326
I mean, I agree, but even if they weren't doing this "pat-yourself-on-the-back" agenda pushing, these stories would still suffer.

The comics have the huge issue of being written by Marvel, who have this awful habit of creating characters and not considering what makes said characters compelling. For example, when they made Shara Bey, they were just like "alright shes a badass ace pilot" and called it a day. They do this with all their characters, and it just feels so underwhelming.

The novels have been a lot better, of course excluding Wendig. Holy shit what is Wendig's problem? He was like "what would be a fun, star wars-y protagonist? I know! A tuff single mother struggling to raise her child!" but aside from that I've liked the novels we got so far.

The NuTrilogy suffers from the problem that everything got reset, so like you said, Luke is no longer the one to save the Jedi, Rey is. I have no idea why Disney didn't realize this would create meta-conflict in the plot.

Rogue One wasn't that bad, I thought. Sure, its characters might not be the deepest, but I had no problems with them. Jyn and Cassian are both shown to be competent, and hell Jyn's character is redeemed through her straight, white, male, blond haired father who is a talented scientist.

Arrogance, tumblr-tier socio-political views, tumblr-tier desire to shove said socio-political views into the franchise, inability to take criticism, a lack of professionalism, a complete inability to write about starships.

> Luke is no longer the one to save the Jedi, Rey is

The alternative interpretation is that the Jedi way will die out completely, with Luke being the last Jedi. After all, the Jedi had lofty ideals, but from a canon point of view the Jedi way is constantly being subverted. Qui-Gon, Ahsoka, Kanan - the "best" Jedi are the ones that don't follow the Jedi traditions. Their dogma is something to struggle /against/, not something to embrace.
