36 supplements, plus core books and extras would make for what, a $1200+ collection for completionists. And be about the same as WotC released over 3 editions and 10 years. On the one hand I hope they don't stop putting out books for it, on the other I've got (nearly) every book so far, so there comes a 'what else do I need' point.

Yeah; i've got the complete collection (sans specialization decks), and I strictly speaking don't need all this material...there's some general topics I wish could have been given a supplement. Like the location books in particular. AoR could have used a book detailing either Imperial-held territory or maybe stuff like the Corporate Sector or something. F&D could have gotten a Hapes cluster book, or a book detailing old Jedi Order facilities (a fine distinction from Nexus of Power, to be fair).

I did find it very strange how the Edge of the Empire book talks about the Empire in much greater detail than Age of Rebellion, when you can play games in EotE that have nothing to do with the Empire, but the premise of AoR pretty much mandates fighting the Empire.

Bro, please don't tell me how much I've spent on this game that I haven't played in years but still religiously buy every supplement. It's cruel...

Madurai posted:Has FFG flat-out said there won't be any Imperial sourcebooks? No; but the fact that Dark Side stuff is penalized in F&D seems to indicate that the designers' intent is that all campaigns are light side/hero focused. That's why I figured any Imperial-centric book would be a location one; give dossiers on places the Rebels can infiltrate or attack.

A disruptor/low crit threshold weapon (or auto fire, but less so) with a laser sight and jury rig will help you keep up with force bullshit.

Just the TIE X1 that the Inquisitors use. Clone tree seems to me to have a lot of cool things- they can give allies +1 defense and +1 soak for an encounter, plus a lot of generic goodstuff soldier-focused abilities.

That is so weird we dont have that, is this part of the 'dont stat up named npcs' thing they are applying to the ship aswell or something. The clone stuff sounds handy at least. What about other mechanics, anything they've put in you think is particularly clever?

They actually violate that rule pretty hard here- there are state for all the Ghost crew, Ahsoka, Tarkin, the Inquisitors, and even loving Vader. He’s reasonably monstrous as far as I can tell. No stats for the heroes of Rogue One, but stats for Krennic and Death Troopers. Amusingly, they actually give stats for the Death Star, though I can’t imagine how they would be applied. I like all the character trees, they have some great story hook potential. Baze’s gun has stats and seems like an absolute motherfucker.

All I hope for is that he is comically easily to kill like all of the FFG bad guys lol EDIT: I mean spill the beans on some of this stuff, show off some highlights (also whats Vader's wounds/strain/soak/ranks in parry looking like). kingcom fucked around with this message at 05:36 on Feb 22, 2018 |

I made up a monstrous character sheet for Vader and threatened my players that if they abused the system I would use him to hunt them down and kill them. If canon Vader is less badass than my version, I'm keeping mine.

Rogue One did a very good job of making Vader seem like an badass. The thing with Vader is that it is never Vader on his own. Where Vader goes so does the 501st. Where the 501st goes so does the armour, assault ships and Star Destroyer that houses them. One of the "Super secret PC's will never learn it Talents" that I have in my head for Vader is flip any number of black destiny points to white to get +10% per flip to any crit roll.

I would give very heavy in game hints that taking on Vader would be suicide. Then the players would have a lot of white pips to leg it with. If you are deliberately gaming the system by not flipping just to deny your GM the flips then the plot hammer will still fall, you just won't get any benefit from it. The game is supposed to be players and GMs working together, hence the warnings so the players know what they are getting into.

Rebel cells, state of the rebellion through the run up towards Rogue one etc? In short the actual campaign stuff rather than mechanics?

My players just left from our 5th session of my campaign, and it's been excellent. Last week, with my brother and our Bothan Slicer's girlfriend as guest PCs, the group successfully made contact with a homegrown Rebel cell on an Imperial planet, staged a diversion by setting a bomb off at a datacenter (the Bothan wanted to slice into their systems before that, but he rolled a despair while sneaking in and now has warrants out on the planet.), and successfully liberated 3 prisoners in a daring attack on the Imperial transport carrying them in a scene involving two trucks holding E-web blasters and our Droid PC throwing Stormtroopers off the transport into traffic. This week, the main Party (Bothan Slicer, Twi'lek Doctor, Droid Punchbot) got back to their main task on the planet of stealing 4 ARC-170 fighters from an Imperial scrapyard. Their first challenge was actually finding where this place *was* since I put it far away from any city way out in the wilderness. They tried aerial recon, but meekly accepted when the flight plan given to them by the authorities put them in the wrong part of the planet, so that was a wash. Next they tried bragging at bars, and the only hint they got was that it was West along a river. Which was apparently good enough, as they set out to trek there. This turned into a two-day trip and the two organics neglected to actually bring any food, or flip a destiny point to say that they had when I asked. I had intended for the PCs to most likely infiltrate the facility by posing as haulers taking goods from the scrapyard, or gain access through a series of sewage tunnels (that they definitely knew about! The Droid's player mentioned them a few times as a possible route, but that idea fell by the wayside). Once in the facility, they'd become aware that the labor was largely supplied by Imperial slaves, and I expected events to proceed apace. Instead the PCs opted to cut the facility's power(Bothan sliced it with a Triumph, so that power is OUT) and cut the fence. This immediately led the Imperials to suspect a slave escape, but got the PCs in undetected. They're right there with the fighters they mean to steal. Problem is, these are fighters slated for scrap. They're out of fuel, and I can't believe none of the players thought about that possibility. But they're right next to where the Imperials are trying to figure out which slaves have escaped, and are planning to intervene next session. Overall a ton of fun!
