Tales of the Jedi info needed for a campaign

[blackshirt5]

OK, I'm planning a campaign in the Tales of the Jedi era, I don't know much about it, but what I do know looks interesting. Does anybody know where to go to find out some stuff about the old Jedi Order, the old worlds, technology? Any sourcebooks or websites would be appreciated, thanks.

Also, what Tales of the Jedi trade paperbacks should I pick up today? I'm going to the comic shop today to invest in one or 2 of them.

Why not search for the West End rpg book, Tales of the Jedi. Unless I'm mistaken they had a hardcover book for their version of the SW rpg game. I'm sure with alittle looking you could find it. It will have all the back ground info you need. Good luck

Cool; I didn't know that West End had put out a sourcebook.

Thanks!

There are two copies of the book for sale on ebay right now as we "speak". Search for "Tales of the Jedi RPG". Plus if you just put in "Tales of the Jedi", you'll get a ton of comics for sale as well. These might be of help also. Godd luck.

That was a good book WEG put out. As I recall, generally the tech level was toned down quite a bit. Hyperdrives were slooooow, and blasters did about the d20 equivalent of 1d6 or so less damage. Armor was a little more useful and common.

Also, this being before the prequel trilogy came out, the Jedi were based off a different world than Coruscant. It was a planet called Ossus in the Adegan system (where the lightsaber crystals come from).
