/swg/ - Dune Sea Edition

Desperately want to be
but 100 bucks is steep entry right now
And im the only gamer in my group that likes/buys star wars

It's $75 on Amazon right now, but having friends enthusiastic about the game makes a big difference.

I like the game enough that I've even delved into painting the figures. But goddamn there are so many, and I'm dreading painting Stormtroopers -- all that white armor.

Does anyone here think we'll get more Clone Wars era surplus for X-Wing/Armada, like the ARC-170?

I'd like to see N-1s and the late war Jedi Starfighters, might be cool.

Probably not until FFG runs out of new movie stuff to make.

You can get Leia as a N1 pilot

Why would I want a dead woman flying my snubfighter?

What are good ships to support a kiting YT-2400?

...

Leia never explicitly died in either canon (yet at least)

fuck you

To

>Leia as a N1 pilot
Isn't she Aderaanian not a Naboo?

Also what is an N1? I've not read that supplement.

Are you avin a giggle m8?
The N1 is the naboo fighter from EP I, and leia flew one in the comics.

In the new Marvel comics, Leia, the Queen of Naboo, and Poe Dameron's mom fly Naboo Starfighters to stop the Empire from disrupting the planet's climate.

Episode 1?
Why would ol' Sheevy P let them fuck up his holiday world?

here, I suddenly no longer want N1s, and wish the people involved in that comic died of Robo Gonorrhea.

He was dead, and his contingency orders demanded Naboo get fucked.

This was after RotJ. Sheev himself posthumously gave the order via a prerecorded message; guess he was butthurt that Naboo wasn't behind his whole "xenophobic totalitarian space empire" thing.

>demanded Naboo get fucked
>decide to waste energy, time, and resources on climate chicanery
What kept the Empire from using regular old orbital bombardment, airstrikes, and stormtrooper death squads?

Theatrical flair, as always.

Sure, the empire could win, but what's the point of winning the boring way? No no, that wouldn't do!

Maybe it was an image thing? I doubt people would support the Empire after it obliterated TWO planets' worth of peaceful, pacifistic hippies.

>spend hours thinking up cool monsters to fight
>party is obsessed with eating them

Give me some cool star wars-y names for spices and cooking implements

starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Cooking_spices

>spices
Glitterstim.

But in seriousness;
Malkur Fire-Nut Powder. This spice is made from the ground up Gadonna nuts of Malkur after it has passed through the digestive system of the Lesser Frekkon Cat, an endangered species after the introduction of a colony of Iridonian Razorhounds to the local area in order to control an infestation of Kowakian Monkey-Lizards.

Welp, I'm never doubting wookieepedia again. Thanks user!

Don't bring up food you'll summon the yeggis and grumblecakes guy.

>Thyferran cinnamon, the other, less known export of Thyferra, it is popular as a additive to the dishes of many mammailian species, but insectoids tend to find it repugnant. A single pinch can flavor an entire dish, and aspiring cooks have to be sure not to overpower the meal's other flavors

My party will probably really like the idea of getting a rare ingredient from an endangered species

One of my players is actually a Vratix!

Does this sound like a good intro to Edge of the empire?

Fargo the Hutt is a rather odd Hutt , far more cunning then violent. His schemes tend to be a never ending tunnel of webs, preferring to keep to crooked business behind legal tape.

However in years past such ways cannot sustain themselves under the empire's 'tyranny.'

Fargo has come into a large sum a credits, He used trusted agents to sell out many crime lords to the empire recently to get himself out of hard times and is now offering you three the deal of a life time. A job that needs to done off planet and a ship.

What could go wrong?

Sounds cool. Just remember that Fargo will have made a lot of enemies selling out other crime bosses like that. Black Sun might not be happy if some of those guys were theirs.

In the scenario he was found out yes. So I figured what I could do for a good twist to build on this was have the ship the party gets have some sort of tracking device or some type of marking on it that associates it with Fargo.

Running this in a friendly tourney tonight. Ideas?

Dash Rendar (57)
YT-2400 Freighter (36), Push the Limit (3), Heavy Laser Cannon (7), Kyle Katarn (3), Outrider (5), Counter-Measures (3)

Miranda Doni (43)
K-Wing (29), Twin Laser Turret (6), Extra Munitions (2), Conner Net (4), Advanced SLAM (2)

More ideas
>Thyferran cinnamon harvesting is regarded as hard work by most Vratix. It takes both nimble digits to harvest the bark without killing the tree, and strong constitution to tolerate the odious, insect-repelling spice. In recent years, the trade has been replaced by droid labor, making it something of a dying art. The cinnamon has also become popular with bacta smugglers, who like the wide berth the port authorities give it, allowing them to mask their real cargo.

Is there any good non-SW wargame that could be adapted to do large-scale (25+ capital ships) star wars space battles?

Hows this list for a friendly tournament?

geordanr.github.io/xwing/?f=Galactic Empire&d=v4!s!226:140,-1,45,-1,-1,-1:45:-1:;28:18:5:15:M.1;165:18,-1:27:17:&sn=Tournement List

Well, 25+ is pushing it for a lot of systems, but Battlefleet Gothic with a few tweaks could do well.

Drop Fleet Commander?

Which comic is this exactly? I don't want to read the whole shit series, just want to fap to Leia and N1s.

>Why would ol' Sheevy P let them fuck up his holiday world?
Because Disney is for some reason intent on making the Empire even more cartoonishly evil than usual.

>more cartoonishly evil than usual
They have a long way to go before they can even hope to match the glory days.

Shattered Empire I believe

He wanted the Gungans to suffer.

Is it in the mega?

Yep

Lad... I can't find it.

Very nice introduction.

The natural questions that follow are;

- What is the job?
- Who previously owned this ship, and what did they do wrong?
- Would you rather fight one hundred Loth-cat sized Rancors, or one Rancor-sized Loth-cat?
- The correct answer is to make the players fight both

It's canon, under comics. It's labeled as "Journey to the Force Awakens: Shattered Empire"
Issue 3 is the one you're looking for

Thanks friend.

>3/1/4/3
>B-Wing Dial

I think you have failed to grasp the role of the N-1 completely.

That seems way to heavy for the N1, shouldn't they have more agility and maneuverability?
I'd say:
Attack: 3
Agility: 2
Shields: 3
Hull: 2
Maneuver dial: Z-95 with slightly more green.
Upgrades: Astromech, Torpedo
Actions: Focus, Target Lock, Barrel Roll

>Anakins pilot ability
That is exactly what I would have done, perfect.

>Anakin
>PS 8
Shouldn't he be PS9 or even 10? The loss of his natural limbs at Mustafar was considered a massive downgrade and he was pretty much unanimously considered to be the greatest pilot in the galaxy during the Clone Wars.

This I agree mostly with. Obi's ability is a bit weird, but Mace is pretty good.
Personally, I would have the Jedi Starfighter be one of those ships with only unique pilots.

In this case, I was just making him the same as his Advanced pilot card. But hey, Veteran Instincts and Adaptability are always available.

N-1 always seemed like it was really fast in a straight line but not very nimble to me. Admittedly, I never paid attention to Legends, just the movies and the new canon. Making it nimble could work too though.

I was making Obi's based on how he got fucked up in close range by the droids in RotS. And it was new design space that hasn't really been done yet.

Post more imps.

>the same as his Advanced pilot card
Vader's got a native PS 9.

This brings up an important question: How to stat up Buzz Droids? They would probably be a missile upgrade, and use a condition card for their effect.

Fuck, this is what I get for doing things from memory.

Buzz Droids: Bomb(3 pts)
Whenever you perform a maneuver or are destroyed, you may flip this card face down to drop one Buzz Droids obstacle token, (Circumference similar to Proximity Mines)

Buzz Droids obstacle Token: Whenever a ship overlaps or lands in this token, roll one attack die. On a [hit] or [crit] result, the ship takes 1 damage, receives a stress token, and may not attack in the following combat phase. Additionally, on a [crit] result, remove this token.

...

I got you

"If this attack hits, assign 1 buzz droid token for each uncancelled [hit] or [crit] result. Then cancel all dice results."

"At the end of the combat phase, roll 1 attack dice for every buzz driod token attached to this ship. For every [crit] result, deal one faceup damage card to this ship

ACTION: remove one Buzz droid token from this ship"

Too powerful?

3/?

4/?

So a semi-persistent bomb? Not sure if it's the right thing for buzzdroids, but an interesting concept. You left out "if a ships maneuver template overlaps...", was this intentional?

5/?

6/?

7/?

Final one as I don't want to spam the thread too hard

Did somebody say Yeggis?

Problem with trying to stat up Prequel ships in X-Wing is there's so few CIS fighters. Just loads of vulture droids

Spices and Ingredients:

-Mequital, Spice of the Black Sand Sea
-Tumorwort, a lovely starchy leaf. A bit like eating a potato pancake with veins
-Frenzo's Mixed Powder, which carmelizes any sugars it encounters without releasing heat or gasses
-Bleest. It's like yeast for baking, but it makes things denser. You can end up with 12,000 calories of cake in a nodule the size of a marble if you aren't careful

Tools:

-Hydromixer
-Separation Funnel
-Hoygen's Marvelous Blend-Wand
-Depilating Board

Blade Wing
(Title. B-Wing Only)

During setup, treat your pilot skill as "0"

When attacking, you may spend a focus token and a target lock you have on the defender to change all your dice to [critical hit] results. Your dice cannot be modified further after making this attack.

>Jedi Interceptor
You mean the Delta-7 or Eta-2?
Because the latter had a clone variant which would make more sense as the base model.
Maybe give it a silly title for Anakin's custom that has one fucking hull but missiles and a stupid dial, and hands evades out like candy.
And yeah, he should really be PS 10

God this was so damn stupid.

I think it's cool.

Nice work.

-Plot hooks: Someone modified a droid to steal bark. The PCs are implicated.
-Someone has been dosing the local (insectoid) trade-factor with the spice, in quantities low enough to be masked by other scents, but enough to make him extremely irritable. He is not aware that the cutlery set he was sent has cinnamonwood handles.
-One of the PCs accidentally discovers a way to make a decent imitation spice. The local spice-barons will stop at nothing to prevent this secret from reaching the rest of the galaxy. The PCs just want to get rich.
-

there's the hyeena bomber, droid trifighters, genosian fighters and Grevious's ship.

this is my take on them for a forum custom card comp.

I've also mocked up vulture and hyeena droid cards if anyone is interested.

vultures didn't have sheilds.
also it should have a much better dial. They're mentioned as being capable of pulling manouvers that would kill organic pilots.

Sure if you are a ten year old

Not bad. Lack of EU and Crew on Miranda are the glaring holes.

Also not bad. Though I've never been much convinced of the utility of Barons. The Empire has much better ships overall. Also dear god give him autothrusters, you have the point.

Anakin and Obi are way overpriced compared to the generic and Mace. Obi's has a significant downside, should be 23, Anakin should be 26.

Also, Mace's ability is god-tier. That is ridiculously good, and would allow him to be a fantastic finisher.

The ship itself didn't have shields though. I've long thought the Eta-2, if it ever got into the game, should be native four agility with three hull. Price appropriately.

Is it just me, or is Disney trying to downplay/nerf Wedge?
