Episode II: Big Damn Heroes 45 hours 27 minutes. Captain Tam Voren knocks on the door to Selene’s hideout. It took staring down a Hutt, but he had the money and he wasn’t about to be late. A slot in the door opens and the three eyestalks of a Gran peer through. “Oochi wa lulu?” The Gran...

GM Commentary I'm glad you are enjoying the story hour enough to wait around and comment. We'll be playing again on Saturday and I hope to post the results throughout the next week. In the meantime, the Vagrant Heart's rogue's gallery: Tam - Noble 2 Kaldo - Scout 2 Rowintha - Soldier 2 Toth...

GM Commentary And so Episode I: Scum & Villainy come to a close. I have to admit, this was probably some of the most fun I've ever had at the gaming table. Much of the credit goes to the players. They all eased right into their characters, despite rolling them up just moments before, and the...

The common area is full. The two women sit at the table along with Toth. Kaldo leans against the wall watching the Jawa tinker with a compressor coil. Rowintha checks on a few vegetables she is growing in the room when Captain Tam Voren storms in. “What is this about, Captain?” The blue skinned...

The crew of the Vagrant Heart stops the speeder a few blocks before the market. They are being extra cautious after angering a Hutt. Kaldo scouts ahead. He sees two women approach the Vagrant Heart. When they notice no one around, they go to the next ship and start talking to the captain there...

Rowintha lets out a hoot. That’s the fastest she’s ever hacked a DuraTech model 77. She turns on the lights and surveys her surroundings. The walls are aged and dirty, but in good enough shape; thick enough to prevent a blaster from penetrating too. Toth begins moving crates from the pile on...

Tam and Rowintha return to a Toth and Kaldo two thousand credits richer; with the promise of five thousand more and a mechanic for the duration of the journey. But an even bigger deal awaits and the group charters a speeder to take them to the industrial side of town. The rendezvous site isn’t...

Kaldo has a racing heritage. He grew up around pod racing and was manipulating stabilizers and steering veins soon after he could walk. When he saw the other freighters gun their engines and make a bee line planet side, the moment the shield ship passed into the shadow of the planet, instincts...

This was my solution when I first read Saga Edition. Funny to think it was dismissed by then, but now is coming back into fashion. That, or I just like to think I'm ahead of the curve. ;) At first level you are four points behind RAW, by 9th and 10th you are equal to RAW, and by 20th 5 points...

GM Commentary First half of session 1 posted. Time for some more behind the scenes musings. Knowing that this was to be our first ever excursion into Star Wars and Saga Edition rules, I created a short seven question questionnaire for the players to fill out prior to character creation. The...

“I hate that witch.” Mutters Kaldo for a second time. He couldn’t be happier to leave Raxus VI behind. Even the normally comforting drone of the Vagrant Heart’s drives do little to improve his mode. Tam enters the cockpit and plops down in the copilot's seat. “It won’t be much longer until...

As the group heads back to the ship, Toth mulls over more ways to make money. “We could take on passengers; maybe even sell some spare parts from the ship's inventory. What do we know about Ellium? Hutt world right? Maybe we could run some spice? I might be able to collect on a few bounties.”...

Raylee’s Den is like a thousand different cantinas in a thousand different systems. The food is greasy and the drinks are cheap. It’s here that the scoundrels of the galaxy drink, gamble, and boast of how many systems they have the death sentence on. Toth seems to fit right in. He goes to the...

GM Commentary This post is for those of you who like to listen to the commentary tracks on DVDs, for everyone else the story posts will return shortly. I've always liked reading the story hours here on ENWorld and have cribbed way too many adventure ideas from them to count. So, this is my way...

Episode I: Scum & Villainy Captain Tam Voren leads his crew back to the Vagrant Heart. An air of excitement surrounds the group. They just closed one of the biggest deals of their careers, filling their cargo bay with Mandolorian ore, and already have a buyer lined up back on Raxus VI. Now to...

I'm appalled by the complete lack of discussion regarding Twilight Struggle in this thread. It is easily my number 1 (noticed MerricB rated it the same). I've never played a board game with such drama and tension. It is fantastic! The cold war theme is great and it works wonderfully with the...

Alright another Minnesotan! I also own both the original and RCR books along with a few supplements. After checking out Saga, there's no way I'm going back. One thing I'd like to echo from Plane Sailing's post is that full round actions are nearly non-existent. This makes combat much more...

Agree. But I'm wondering what we're minimizing? Hit point tracking, sure. But what about damage? Are you--anybody--using fixed damage? Can minions still have critical hits? What about talents of feats? How about taking if further and using a fixed initiative score? Really remove all the paper...

Funny you say that. I was looking through it recently and though, "Yes! My group has been talking about running a Firefly/Serenity inspired game and I've been wanting to run Saga edition. I now have my answer." So, I've been putting together ideas for a crew of "independent contractors" that...
