This week, I'm taking a look at the new Star Wars roleplaying game.

Just watched the second part of the review. Nicely done, good concise information. And who doesn't enjoy a good scottish brogue.

Like many other informative videos, nice use of images, not overloaded.
And for some reason, I really like the Mascot.

Well done, sir. My only quibble, your space combat may have suffered from a bit of killer GM syndrome Most folks seems to do the encounter without much difficulty.

We basically decided to go by the book since it was the beginner game, and I was hoping to see how it might work if someone entirely new to RPGs was just following the rules to the letter. If I was running a campaign, I'd have handled it quite differently!

If I get the time, I'll try to work the mascot in more I think.

By the same token, I've heard a few stories of how things were fine up until that final encounter. Though having the GM in this instance spend a slew of Dark Side Destiny Points and having both sets of TIES attacking probably didn't do the PCs any favors.

I've had mixed results, with the first group (using the offered pre-gens) I ran the adventure for barely scrapping through by the skin of their teeth, while the second group (using characters built via the Beta + Updates) had a much easier time of things.
