I’m calling this a post-mortem on FFG’s Star Wars line, but I’m really focused on the end of my time running Age of Rebellion. To be fair, it hasn’t been the longest run. For my full FFG Star Wars resume, I’ve played in two short Edge of the Empire campaigns, ran one with the Beta rules that lasted about
Read moreI haven’t mentioned it yet here on the blog, but I’m really enjoying the Tales from the Hydian Way podcast, a podcast dedicated to discussing the Fantasy Flight Star Wars RPGs. In their most recent episode, the subject of downtime came up, and that discussion spurred some ideas in my mind. So How Long Are We Talking, Here? My thoughts
Read moreFunny thing. I started reading through this to review it back in December. I was going to try and get this and maybe one more Star Wars RPG review out to commemorate Rogue One being released. I forgot one small detail, that being that the holidays were going to cause chaos and unpredictability, and then January showed up, I started

These were inspired by very specific events in the movie, and their level of utility might vary, depending on the situations and rules your group generally encounters.

In my continuing quest to clear up my backlog of RPG books that I haven’t yet read cover to cover, I just finished up The Jewel of Yavin, another adventure for the Edge of the Empire RPG line, and collected a few thoughts on the subject.

In keeping with the theme of Edge of the Empire, this adventure has to do with shady merchants, lost treasure ships, and rival criminals. Backstory Beyond the Rim was originally published in 2013, early

It was one of the earlier releases from the Edge of the Empire line of Star Wars RPG products from Fantasy Flight, a soucebook

The first thing I
