[QUOTE="Water Bob, post: 5428754, member: 92305"] This was my experience with a Force user in our 7-year D6 Star Wars campaign, too, back in the 90's. One of our players was swayed to the Dark Side, to eventually become Darth Vader's apprentice (this was before the prequels came out, of course), and what was neat about it was that the player wanted to remain on the Light Side for most of the character, but really was seduced by the Dark Side in the form of the GM. It was damn cool to watch. To complete his decent to the Dark Side, the GM set the player (and the rest of the group) into a master scheme set out by Darth Vader. The end of the campaign was a real downer, like the ending of The Empire Strikes Back, but, man, it was one of the best campaigns I've ever played. Darth's plan was brilliant. He won, and all the Rebel Heroes were captured, with the one Force User falling to the Dark Side--and it was his unknowing actions (he thought he was doing the right thing with a moral choice that took him to the Dark Side, not unlike, years later, when we viewed Anakin in the film being seduced because of his wife). There were plans for a second campaign in which the Dark Side character actually became Darth's apprentice--and the major villian in the second campaign, but, alas, that one never got off the ground. Still, that first SW campaign remains one of the best role playing times I've ever had. Like the above poster, the Force User in the group started off like Luke did in ANH. He had some power, but was not at all "powerful". As time went on (there are 3 or 4 years between ANH and TESB, when Luke grows in power) the Force User grew, first into a strong character, then into a real bad-ass. It took time. But, once he got up there, there was no stopping this guy. And, the Dark Side even made him stronger. This is very true. The WEG Star Wars writers created a lot of canon. Zahn didn't create those Rebel cruisers from Dark Side Rising. They were already in the game. The same goes for a lot of vehicles, equipment, and story background. You'll also find that a lot of the same designers and writers continued to work on the various games, regardless of edition. [/QUOTE]
