I hope they stat those in Dawn of Rebellion.

Anyway fuck the police, I like the original X-Wing. I was a bit disappointed that they didn't bag very many TIEs in Rogue One though.

So many cool conept art tossed to the trash. I feel bad for the artist, they all wanted to put they touch in movies they loved.

Guys Rate my School shooter gang!

Veeky Forums, I have need of your aid.

Recently, I've been running an FFG game, and have taken on a challenge: As the GM, I'm to build a rival for the players who uses nothing but the mechanics skill and associated perks. They have unlimited funding, they can take the most optimal rolls for crafting and modifying weapons and armour (which means literally no failures or threats, because it is technically possible), and can apply any and all cybernetics they so choose.

My players are sitting at around 400 or so XP and they've got a pair of munchkins, so don't hold back, help me build something to really challenge them.

Needs more Metal Gear boss flavor/10. The guy with the pizza cutter golf club has the right idea, though.

>Tfw we will never have on stage astromech gladiator matches.

>tfw you will never be able to fantasise about underwater waifu

>Impliying we didn't get a better waifu.

Aren't those atmosphere-only fighters?

It's at least an interesting weapon. A foolish looking one, but you have to fear the one than wields it, he is good enough to survive with such a handicap after all.
Another Funny fact, Rey at the start had her own space ship.

Is that a fuckin' Imperial Borg Cube in the top right?

I prefer my Legends almost canononized twi'lek waifu.

Holdo seemed vaguely neat, but I feel like they pushed too hard to make Poe seem like he was in the right until surprise he was wrong all along.

>Deliberately keep the known hothead out of the loop on your plan to get away from the First Order safely.
>He pulls a mutiny because he thinks you've got nothing.

Reminder that this is canon in Nu-Wars.

Not like we hadn't already gotten such high-brow humor from Lucas himself.
>pee-yousa

Wasn't it settled that this is printed off fanfic?
... And if not, what book is it from so I can attempt to burn every single copy ever produced (except for a few kept in a museum because burning book is bad, kids)?

Best pilot in the galaxy stopping by.

I think they can go to the space, they are aerospace, using BT parlance.

>almost canononized
How

That's Legacy stuff

According to the wook they can indeed exit atmosphere. They're just optimized for atmospheric combat.

It's fanfic.
OK I see.

I mean, that sure looks like a picture of them in space, so what do your eyes tell you?

An user in the other thread tracked it all down.
>Join the Resistance: Escape from Vodran is the second installment in Star Wars: Join the Resistance, a series of junior novels written by Ben Acker and Ben Blacker.

It's canon user. All of it.

No it's not

It can't be

KILL ME

Is it time for the pain train once again?

...

>Is it time for the pain train once again?
maybe this weekend.

user, it could be worse.
It isn't Gungan scat loli porn at least.

Aerospace is a bit of a misnomer, usually used to describe the fusion-powered Aerotech platforms that are atmospheric or vacuum platforms.

Conventionals are atmo-only.

oh dear

That's beautiful. What's Phasma doing there, though?

wallowing, from the look of it

Drinking away her sorrows over being completely wasted as a character for 2 straight movies?

That art is from the TFA Artbook. According to Pablo and the book she was in the original treatment by Lucas which had the Solo-Skywalker kids as the heroes.

swinfoground.wordpress.com/2016/08/08/quotes-hidalgos-answers-to-questions-part-ii/#georgelucas

Fair enough. What I was thinking was that as a nu edition, they shouldn't serve her kind there. But it's close enough.

I love that pic, it gets better be the second.

sleeping off the death sticks

Anybody got any good pinups/nose art for starships? Would prefer GCW/era-neutral stuff.

>no Sith twi'lek sexually tempting a teenage Ben Solo

>All Canon Novels and Comics (via /co/)
You can literally find it there, user.

This one would go nicely on a certain infamous Imperial Neb-B.

What a coincidence, I been autistically collecting some today.

...

>not choosing Maarek Stele
he is a better pilot than Soontir Fel

>Kids in 1991
Get to read about whaladons and Imperials being silly.

>Kids in 2018
Get to read some deviant's fart fetish fiction.

In terms of running a Star Wars RPG game, what's a good ratio of Stormtrooper : Imperial Army?
The players are probably gonna be scum and villainy just before the GCW.

I was considering having the Imperial Infantry as the standard Empire mook and having Stormtroopers as elites who's presence means "shit's gonna go down"

>eenie, meenie, miney, mo
>I wonder where
>my glove will go...

There are elements of nuWars that were neat. They just weren't focused on. They were totally underutilized and killed off without ceremony.

...

...

My personal fave is either the trash can guy or the one with the sega genesis for a head.

...

It's probably autistic that the first thing on my mind when i see that is why they'd choose to paint a senator, and how she'd feel if she saw that in the field, since she somehow always finds herself fighting.

I love the helmets they were designing for DarthColumbine.

You know, if they wanted to reinvent the time after RoTJ, it looks like the concept artists had some great stuff. Instead we just got OT 2.0.

Dunno, flatered? Poor clones where very starved of human female companionship (I can't imagine how weird all the hormones, and only clones of yourself or weird gangly aliens as a source of release nearby), probably the poor fucks where smiten be her and couldn't even forget her. They didn't even lewd here more than herself does.

is the Age of Rebellion starter set worth getting?I'm interested in the Fantasy Flight Star Wars RPGs

Possibly. I'm not thinking it's sexist or some crap. Just thinking it'd be weird to see a painting of yourself.

I cried when I found out about that part too.

So fucking close.

A better question: How would Anakin feel? Up here (head) and down there (you know where),

being a 90s kid was truly underappreciated.

we had dark empire, jedi prince and heir to the empire.

>Gomenasai, my name is Warapite-Sama. I’m a 104 year old British Otaku (Anime fan for you gaijins).

Leia's eyes look like the decision of where to stick the glove has been made and she wants a recount.

>90s are underappreciated
You must not have used the internet about four years ago.

>on a certain infamous Imperial Neb-B.
What?

Apparently, he was annoyed.

youtube.com/watch?v=uTuzm3YR5dk

It was a good show!

starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Redemption_scenario

Yeah, it's the curse of the sequels. Great budget, talented artist and skilled profesionals for everything.
But Directors than don't really get star wars.

And it's not like the world is short on people privy on how to star wars either

What exactly is the purpose of sporting blasters?

Sports.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sport_pistol

You mean this is official?

Kinda makes you wonder why they picked such people in the first place, huh? At least JJ seemed to know what he was doing, but then he's been wanting to direct Star Wars for years; just look at his other work!

youtu.be/bV3fKmG93-c

Rian Johnson probably because he is not a big name and thus more likely to listen to suggestions from the managerial people at LFL/Disney.

>that bottom left helmet
Darth Comfy

JJ's problem is that he's got a fetish for his MYSTERY BOX crap, so there was literally nothing on what the deal was with Rey's parents or Snoke because someone's an autist who thinks an unopened box is literally the best thing ever.

And then TLJ turned around and revealed both mystery boxes to contain corpses.

How should I do loot for my Edge of Empire game?

Should I include loot rolls? straight cash? objects they can sell for cash? Weapons and items?

The core flaw in TFA was that it completely pissed away any advancement of the setting or success for the New Republic so it could re-hash the ANH status quo of Not-Rebels trying to stop the Not-Empire's Not-Death Star.

It fucked the potential of the setting and of any stories set in the interim between ROTJ and TFA. Luke's Jedi School? Doesn't matter, everyone's fucked and every student is killed or turned Dark Side. Han's adventures? Doesn't matter, we see him die like a bitch. Leia's political career trying to replace the Empire with a Republic? Doesn't matter.

In resetting the status quo for nostalgia, TFA effectively fucked the entire post-ROTJ setting. And TLJ effectively fucked the TFA setting

Cash or items they can turn into cash are best in my experience. Occasionally for a specific like "job" or plot thread, throw players a bone cna have some unique item involved, like maybe they do a heist and your shoot man can steal a set of original mando beskar'gam and so on.

Otherwise remember there's no reason for them not to take shit off people they kill so as a reward for like a big boss nemesis they can pick up some shit also.

It feels to me like it's because his successor was creatively bankrupted and likened twists and subversions to actual creativity

Sounds fairly accurate...

See, I'll admit TFA wasn't as good as it could be and was something of a rehash, but at least it could be built upon; it sure felt like classic Star Wars (sometimes to its detriment) and that was mostly a good thing.

Then TLJ came along and just squandered everything TFA left it... It's worse than TPM because at least then we didn't have a fairly solid core ready to be built upon that would only lead to disappointment.

Fucking this, we no longer care about all the possible stories to be told post endor because they all end in such a way to make them pointless. With the prequels, however bad they got the story ultimately served a point and added potential to a setting instead of bottlenecking it

If you want to rebel, then rebel.

Almost always, give them rewards in items they need or want, or Obligation payoffs. Don't give them cash when you can at all avoid it. Keep them poor. That prevents them from derailing things by using funds to buy campaign-breaking shit.

that's usually the nature of concept art, in this case the KoR were at least on screen (barely)

also I'm curious, do we know/do you guys think the praetorite guards were drawn from the knights of ren? and/or were they force sensitive?

As an addendum, it's okay to GIVE them cash so long as they don't KEEP it. If they luck into 250k credits that means it's time for Dindu the Hutt to contact them because he needs a bit more funds for his latest hotsa chuba party and thus decided to call in the PCs' debt again.

Reward them with favours. They CAN turn those in for just straight cash or the like, but that'd be a waste - they could also turn them in for a quick way past the guards, and quick and cheap obligation payoff, the renting of a particular vehicle, or a helper NPC.
Nothing feels better than amassing a bunch of favours and calling a bunch of them in for all the help you need to pull off one big job, like a heist or something.

As for weapons and armour, they can peel those off anybody they kill - if they want a big rifle, they'll have to take it off the guy USING the big rifle. I'm one of those people that does character-centric stories, so I give characters something they'll really want when they do their personal missions, but that's just me.

I guess overall I just didn't like how TLJ forever cemented the OT characters as fucking losers. They achieved literally fucking nothing in life and the OT was all for naught. Han and Luke even regress back to where they were in ANH and ESB respectively. What an awful fucking movie.

That's what you get for trying to be a hero.

Just keep your head down and don't worry about the affairs of your betters and you can live a long fulfilled life.

I doubt Rian put much thought into them other than "Let's make them look like Royal Guards" so I doubt they're the Knights of Ren.

That said, they're probably scrub tier Force Sensitives given a bit of training by Snoke with the promise of more down the line if they're good little bodyguards.

>30 years of peace vs. 30 years of subjugation by sidious
>fucking nothing
i'm disappointed how quickly and unceremoniously they pushed the reset button but come on now

how should the group get better gear than? I'm not exactly a mind reader so I don't know exactly what it is they want, and it feels a little like cheating for luck to just land the objects in their laps

Listen you little shit, just because you didn't get EU Luke fixing everything awesomely while banging some redhead that was supposed to assassinate him doesn't mean he was a fucking loser. As far as the galaxy at large is concerned, Luke died the legendary hero that everyone built him up as. The resistance saw him walk out there alone, they saw him survive the blaster barrage, they evacuated before seeing that he was never really there. And frankly, even having not physically done it, he's STILL the legendary hero everyone thought he was. And in the end, he knew it as much as they do.

So the movie was secretly imperial propoganda all along?

Those who play x wing, anyone have advice for turn 0 for a new player? I have no idea what I'm doing when I'm placing rocks on the field and in deciding where to place my ships. What do you all do?

yes from the Bad batch episodes that never made it to final production

youtu.be/ypzCR5gctkQ?t=152

hm... I should probably finish watching that show. I gave up around I think season four, because it just was going on for too long to be 2 and a half years (how long the clone wars is, approximately) to me.
