If I wanted to run a Beginner Box at a local tabletop gaming convention, which of the 4 boxes do we all think would be the best to run? I'm leaning toward the TFA one, just to stay in the currently-relevant era of Star Wars...but I haven't actually dug through the content of that one's adventure.

Strange Cares posted:I'm trying to think of an EoTE one-shot adventure hook for a party consisting of: easiest thing to do would be to make the heist something of Clone Wars vintage. A crashed separatist ship or old Republic listening post or something? Are the doctor and gunslinger old enough to have been doing stuff during the war? You could flash back and do an encounter during a battle or something.

Today is finally the streetdate for Rise of the Separatists! Hopefully my store got it in! [Edit: they didn't] Also, another new adversary deck was solicited to retailers, no release date given, Republic and Separatist II, with NPCs and enemies from Collapse of the Republic jivjov fucked around with this message at 18:27 on May 9, 2019 |

Its in with Speeders, not starships. Carteret posted:I wonder how much of the new Gear and Gadgets book will be original stuff, not already published.

I'm curious if they're gonna give Clones a signature ability in Collapse. It seems like they're making Clones functionally identical to every other career (three specs in one book, three more in another), that I hope it happens

Especially at lower XP, force sensitives are just like any other character that just have a force power or two instead of a couple Talents. This game balances its force users really really well

Covok posted:Good news: Collapse of the Republic is shipping. I wouldn't at all be surprised if we see a Sequel Trilogy Era book next year after Rise of Skywalker hits, and there's still room for a vehicle compendium and maybe collected books of all the specializations from each line or something.

Halloween Jack posted:Why didn't someone warn me that the Order 66 podcast sucks spaceballs? I tried listening to the Rogue One episode and it was ten minutes of plugs, wacky morning DJ voice, and then I realized they recorded it on opening weekend. They're not bad when they're actually talking about the RPG. They just spend WAY too long on the whole "Gamer Nation" network stuff and whatnot.

Admiral Joeslop posted:For a theoretical Edge game, is there any reason not to offer all the careers from Edge and AoR? Same for Species but I imagine there's much less of a difference there. Some spec trees assume that you're gonna be in a setting where they make sense (for example, some AoR talents talk about getting more supplies from the rebellion, having better Mass Combat ability, etc) but otherwise there's no issue mixing and matching to your heart's content

I'm running the EotE beginner box at a convention this weekend; its been ages since I've looked at the beginner box materials in super depth, and I know there were a couple typos or things that changed from beta to full release but still were in the beta box; anyone remember what those little pitfalls are?

Just got done running the beginner box at Kant Con; rousing success, convinced a 3 person group to buy a core book for their own use In a hilarious aside, the group unanimously decided that the dewback pens in Mos Shuuta were going to be very important, and they released them all into a slow lizardy stampede through the city

Covok posted:My only question is what comes next? I got every book in the line, except for the beginner books now. Which is pretty awesome and I should try to get an IRL group together for a Clone Wars game. But is the line dead? No more books are in-development. Given that we got characters and gear, there /has/ to be a vehicles book coming in the splat line. And I wouldn't be at all surprised if there's gonna be a Sequel Trilogy era book announced shortly after TRoS's premiere.

You could try a missing part request from FFG, but your mileage may vary on if they'll replace things lost due to neglect rather than missing from original package

If they already have books and they keep getting sales, there's no reason they can't do more reprints of them....but yeah, if there's anything you desperately want to have, get it sooner rather than later

I will be forever mad that the original book release pattern didn't hold through all three lines. 3 adventures and 3 sector books per line would have been great....

No Disintegrations has eluded me so far here in Europe, and the last shipment that I heard about ~6 months ago was sold out before I could grab a copy I can hit my my FLGSs, if you don't mind covering the rather exorbitant shipping from the US to Europe

I hope the change in staff doesn't lead to a noticeable quality or style change Edit: on further thought...a switch to a new production house would probably be a good time for a version refresh, if they decided to do such a thing

Is this someone you're thinking the PCs will actually throw down with at some point? Or are they more of a "force of nature" type opponent?

FFG Star Wars had the right idea of having all its classes and such in the core books and the splats just giving more options for each one....but wow I wish we had gotten a Character Creation Compendium for each line at the end of the life of the line.

wiegieman posted:We kind of did, it's just the Oggdude program. I wanted a hard copy book haha. Just all 6 careers, with all 6 specializations, the signature abilities and all the alien races and such in one book per line. Leave the "how to run campaigns for X career" info exclusive to the splats, but make it way easier to actually MAKE a character.

I'm still holding out hope for a per-line player option compendium, or maybe a couple more of the location sourcebooks for AoR and F&D. I hate that they only got one each.
