This character came out of an illustration in the book.I’m just going to keep pushing this in play, hoping the players will embrace the ideas that arise organically.Īnd now, with 20th Century Fox fanfare, is the crew:Ĭlint-E – Droid Bounty Hunter/Assassin – Obligation: Family, Motivation: Pet We did a lot of random rolling to determine these, which was good for generating ideas, but may have resulted in not much player buy-in.
It’s an issue in the sense that I can’t sculpt the adventures towards the characters, so I’ve had to be a lot more generic than I’ve wanted. I think this is a symptom of the “I can’t think of the best idea, so I’m not going to put forward anything” problem. Second, there’s a general hesitancy for the players to nail down elements of their Obligations and Motivations. I’ve worked up multiple Obligation tables dependent on who is a “main character” that week. Both could slide into the background if needed by the player’s absence. Both are playing support characters the first a Rodian slicer, the second an astromech droid mechanic. I knew these guys’ work schedule would make attendance problematic, so I’ve tried to build it in to the campaign. This led to one member only making the second night of character creation, missing the first session, and another member only showing up at the first session. Two of the members are unsure of their availability on a week-by-week basis.
There were only a few snags in the process.įirst, there’s the shifting nature of the group. Defense, what’s average for a stat) were answered pretty easily. Fortunately, most of the rules-based decisions (Soak vs. It took over two sessions, partially because we added a new player the second night and partially because the trad elements of the game means there’s a host of experience points to spend on stats, skill, and traits. This made the process more time consuming than it needed to be. Fantasy Flight’s license agreement with Lucasfilm doesn’t cover digital versions (at least not legal ones), so no cheaper options are available. The fifty-dollar price tag for the core rulebook puts it outside of a casual purchase. Character creation for Edge of the Empire was the classic “pass around the one giant book among five people” affair that’s a proud role playing tradition.
