Once a character is committed to Dodge, he can actually use Dodge as a type of skill throw. If the range number to hit the character is 15, and the attacker rolled 23 on his attack.  Then the Dodging character (who previously committed to the Dodge) must roll a task roll for Dodge looking to...

EASY WAY TO USE DODGE IN YOUR GAME Sometimes new GMs to 1E Star Wars struggle with Dodge--when to roll it.  It can get a bit unwieldy if, as the game book says, that Dodge must be rolled before an attack, but the attack roll is also used for initiative.  Dodges don't have to be declared...

TOOTHLESS STORMTROOPERS? Sometimes it is argued that stormtroopers are under-powered. I argue that they're not. They're exactly the strength that they should be. In Galaxy Guide 1 - A New Hope, a typical stormtrooper has Blaster 3D, after adjustment for armor. And, this is typical of all...

HANDLING MULTIPLE FOES IN 1E - THE HERO METHOD You're running down the corridor, blaster rifle in your grip. Next to you is Chewie, keeping pace. The blast door before flashes open, and all of a sudden, you face 20 stormtroopers, fully armored and equipped, ready to come at you. How do you...

Although I do not recommend using Combined Actions in your 1E based game, here are a few House Rule ideas to keep the rule in check. COMMAND SKILL Combined Fire must be directed by a commander.  A commander can be the best shot among his stormtrooper, yelling out commands to his fellow...

The 1E D6 Star Wars game has three rule versions. First. There's the 1E Core rules, as described in the Core Rulebook. Second. There is the Rules Upgrade. This was a four page set of additional rules that came with all 1E materials in the early days. You can view those four pages HERE or EVEN...

I agree. The other "settings" or time periods could be added later. The original Dune RPG was set just as the Atreides took over Arrakis. That's a short period, I know, but I also think that's the sweet spot for a Dune RPG: The Atreides, starting to negotiate with the Fremen, searching out...

Fading Suns always looked to me like something I would really enjoy. I stayed away from it because it looked dense, as far as background, which would require a long learning curve time--but, mostly I stayed away before the publisher refused to print adventures. I know companies don't make near...

Reading? Writing? Here's a simple and easy to use rule in your game for character literacy. First off, note that the NPC class for Commoners default to illiterate. If a Commoner classed character can read and write, it costs them 2 skill points. In the game, all PCs are considered to be...

LEVEL ADVANCEMENT When a character advances a level, I award them their new hit points and bonuses due to that level. My thought is that the character has earned that through the acquisition of experience points. What I don't do is allow new Feats and skills to magically improve the...

THE COST OF TRAINING/LEARNING/ADVANCING Way back when, when I ran my long-term campaigns playing AD&D and AD&D 2E, one of the rules I used was that character level advancement usually (not always) required some sort of mentor/teacher/trainer. This could be some grizzled old war veteran who...
