Fantasy Flight Games' Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG Beta

Great list! I can't find a link to actually download this one, though -- just a bunch of short 'update' PDFs. Do you know where to get it?

 

[edemaitre]

Glad you like the list. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a main download link for the latest "Star Wars" RPG either -- strange, but it looks like the beta version is only available in print....

 

[darjr]

I think the adventure for the box set is available for download, or it's an extra adventure? Anyway I think the Star Wars license asked them to not make it available for free download.

 

[Morrus]

Ah, well! Still, I've put the rest of the list on the front page. Thanks for the help, [MENTION=52905]darjr[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3372]edemaitre[/MENTION]!
