This will be brief – I’ve been extremely busy of late at work and I’m working late tonight as well. While I have a few brief moments… We’ve almost finished the third Dawn of Defiance adventure. It’s been very James Bondian, which is something that you don’t exactly associate with Star Wars, Attack of the Clones aside. Of course, as I love James Bond, and … Continue reading Brief Star Wars post
For all you happy Star Wars fans out there, Amazon now has listed another sourcebook for the Saga edition of the game: The Clone Wars Campaign Guide (Jan 2009) by Rodney Thompson and JeDi Wiker US$40, 224 pages. I guess by the time it comes out, the Aussie dollar may be above the US one, so the price will be close to what it actually … Continue reading Star Wars… Clone Wars…
(split out from original discussion) As we discovered last session, Use the Force has some problems when it gets used against PCs – especially with Move Object. (10+d6 damage? Ouch). What gets me is the weird scaling of these powers. Trained/Skill Focused UTF (which is what any decent Jedi should have) and a 16 Cha goes from +13 at 1st level to +23 at 20th … Continue reading Star Wars – Fixing Use the Force?
Our stop-start Star Wars campaign “Dawn of Defiance” continued last session with my character, Miles, demonstrating that his Persuasion and Deception skills are excellent, especially when backed-up with good roleplaying (woohoo! +15 toeach at 4th level), and Greg’s Jedi and an NPC Jedi demonstrating exactly how broken Use the Force is. It’s really a pity that all the balancing that has gone into 4e hasn’t … Continue reading Star Wars Blues
This post is actually a couple of weeks late – we’ve now had two sessions of the Star Wars Saga edition Dawn of Defiance campaign. For those who missed my musings on the character I’m playing, I’m playing a human noble based on Miles Vorkosigan. Of course, as soon as you get me playing a PC, you get lots of elements of my personality rather … Continue reading Star Wars: Dawn of Defiance is underway!
Well, I’m playing a noble. And, as normal, a human noble. (The alien races in Star Wars don’t appeal to me at all… they never have for role-playing purposes). I’ve been toying the idea of this well-born military nut, who hasn’t been able tostay in the regular (imperial?) navy due to his problems with accepting commands from above that he doesn’t agree with. As I … Continue reading Dawn of Defiance… character musings
Yay! The Traitor’s Gambit – the first part of the Star Wars Saga edition campaign Dawn of Defiance – has been released. This is a campaign that I expect to actually play in – probably as a Human Noble – with Martin GMing the game. Do you have a date you want to start, Martin? Who else will be playing? (Oh, and congratulations to Rodney … Continue reading Woohoo – the Traitor’s Gambit is out!
This is interesting… Wizards are bringing out a 10-adventure Adventure Path for Star Wars RPG (Saga Edition), set 3-5 years after Revenge of the Sith, taking PCs from 1st to 20th level. Best thing? It’s free! It’s not even a RPGA adventure (although it can be run as such). So… would anyone be interested? No thought of dates or times yet, nor when we might … Continue reading Star Wars RPG – Dawn of Defiance
