Galaxy at War and Scavenger’s Guide to Droids Take Star Wars RPG in New Directions

December 23rd, 2009 by Ed Grabianowski

The era of Star Wars RPG era guides is over, which is probably a good idea, since they’ve already covered every conceivable time period in the Star Wars expanded universe. These new (well, newish) books offer a plethora of options for droid builders and droid characters, plus inside info on Star Wars military organizations, perfect [...]

December 23rd, 2009 by Ed Grabianowski

The latest expansion for the Star Wars Miniatures game, The Dark Times, comes out next month. Aside from Boushh, Ubese Hunter, what else can you expect to find in the set?

Star Wars Miniatures Preview — Boushh, Ubese Hunter

December 22nd, 2009 by Ed Grabianowski

Boushh’s reputation as brutal, calculating bounty hunter with a psychotic streak wasn’t the least bit diminished by the fact that he was successfully impersonated by a princess. Honest.

Jedi Academy Preview – Vodo-Siosk Baas

May 28th, 2009 by Ed Grabianowski

Being a Jedi Master seems like a pretty thankless job. For one thing, the retirement benefits suck (“So, when I die, I just get to keep doing this same job forever, except Hayden Christensen might randomly show up?”). Plus, it’s basically inevitable that at some point one of your students is going to turn evil [...]

Legacy Era Campaign Guide Brings Sexy Back To Star Wars RPG

April 9th, 2009 by Ed Grabianowski

The Legacy Era in the Star Wars universe is kind of a tough sell. All the classic characters you grew up with are dead, and their descendants are a bunch of brats and losers. Sith lords operate openly, so you can’t swing a womp rat without hitting a Darth. Yet it might be the most [...]

Star Wars Miniatures Preview – Leia, Bounty Hunter

February 12th, 2009 by Ed Grabianowski

Oh, Leia, even under all those layers and Boushh’s old mask, and even though you spoke perfect Ubese, we all knew it was you sneaking in to Jabba’s palace to rescue Han. Fearless and inventive indeed.
