Game Setup
Last Time on Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game: The Rebel Alliance is a little wary about bringing an untested ex imperial officer into the fold, so they sent them on a test mission: To pick up a stolen pet and deliver it to the owner. They sent an alliance operative with them, to manage the money and connect with the contact. The heroes didn’t do much preparation for the actual planet, and when they arrived planet side, they realized they were not dressed appropriately for the freezing temperatures, and were ambushed by a pack of winter hounds. They narrowly escaped with some heroics and finally arrived at the pickup location, only to be double crossed. It turns out the Pykes were coming to pick up the pet and the gangsters, after researching their contacts, discovered the heroes were with the rebel alliance, they figured they could make a little extra cash, but didn’t plan on the persistence of the team.
The double cross went south when the ex-imperial killed the gang leader, and wampas were disturbed by a fleeing gangster. They chased out of the cave to discover Pykes and chased them away. The heroes took the cue to jump in the airspeeder and escape, only to be then chased by the Pykes! They were able to evade the Pykes, and get off the planet. Now with the Pykes on their tail, the Royal House of Djek is awaiting their property, and the Alliance needs this contact for their resources. The future of this exchange looks bleak.
Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game 30th Anniversary Edition
Few books or games have had as enduring an impact upon the Star Wars galaxy and its fans as Star Wars™: The Roleplaying Game. Originally published by West End Games in 1987, it arrived at a time when the future of the Star Wars galaxy was uncertain, and it captivated a whole generation of gamers with rules and guidelines that made it possible to design and enjoy adventures truly worthy of the Star Wars universe and its ongoing space opera.
Now Fantasy Flight Games is proud to offer faithful recreations of this influential rulebook and The Star Wars™ Sourcebook. Our Star Wars™: The Roleplaying Game 30th Anniversary Edition is a limited edition set of both books, printed with higher quality than the originals and packaged in a stylized slipcase.
These books were sent to Timothy Zahn as references when he started to develop Grand Admiral Thrawn and his Thrawn trilogy. They introduced materials that were later adopted into Star Wars canon, such as the names of alien races like the Twi’lek, Rodians, and Quarren. They even inspired members of the Lucasfilm Story Group as they worked on their writers’ bible.
Now, Fantasy Flight Games is proud to return Star Wars: The Roleplaying to print as a collectible set of two high-quality, hardbound books presented in a stylized slipcase. You’ll find all the original game materials—just as playable as ever—and they’re presented with the same graphic design and fake, in-universe Star Wars advertisements for the Imperial Navy, the R2 astromech Droid, and more.
Even the books’ use of black-and-white, blue ink, and full color sections have been recreated, along with its use of still photos and concept art, some of which have been updated for this new 30th Anniversary Edition. Finally, the books come with a foreword by Pablo Hidalgo, one of the creative executives on the Lucasfilm Story Group.
