Lit Fantasy Flight Games and the Star Wars TCG

And Vader always kills his most loyal captains for something that's not their fault. Like every Tuesday.

 

Truly they are following in the footsteps of WEG.

 

AXELL FLORENT!

As the RASB points out, the Chief of State was an "elected dictatorship" that had to be re-elected every two years by a majority of the Allied governments. The CoS could also be voted out of office by a vote of no confidence by the Advisory Council if 2/3 of the membership was against her. Nothing new, in other words.

Wasn't a certain Chancellor "elected dictator?"

 

You really should. The section on the political setup of the Alliance is very interesting. Yes, Mon Mothma essentially had dictatorial powers during the war, but there were still check and balances in place to ensure she didn't become a tyrant. The very structure of the Alliance Civil Government made sure to keep democratic structures in place, even if the level of power wielded by the Chief of State was extremely high. Of course, in the case of Mon Mothma, she wasn't running a true government. She was running a war against the Empire.

And... I have derailed the thread. Sorry for steering us off topic.

I like how they used exactly the same perspective as its first appearance in Dark Empire:

 

Transport Jedi Knights during the Clone Wars? Ah Ghost Prison you save canon yet again.

 

I'm afraid Dreadnaughts of Rendilli saved this particular instance of canon.

 

That one still didn’t get around to actually showing as locked away Jedi.

 

Erm... this one is from the EotE Core Rulebook, p.29 -- is this a new model? It looks a little like a cross between the Nebulon Ranger and an X-Wing, and IMHO it's awesome (forgive the bad quality scan though):

 

Yep spotted that one as well whilst flipping through the book. Looks to be a new design and pretty freaky at that.

 

I think that is the Nebulon Ranger. Or a Crescent-X9, at least. A bit stylized, perhaps, but it looks to be the same.

 

Hmm the Cockpit section seems to be way longer, though of course it could be a new or modified model.

 

A nice little TCW-tidbit: Page 51 of the book clarifies that Wasskah is Trandosha's moon and therefore inside the Kashyyyk system.

 

How abstract is it compared to FATE (that's the only RPG I have real experience with, so if your don't know it, then could you pleasse just briefly describe roughly how abstract it is)?

Thanks.

 

No problem. I would equate EotE to systems like FATE or Hollow Earth Exploration (HEX), in fact EotE was heavily influenced by HEX. For example initiative is determined by a roll against a character's Cool or Discipline depending on the situation. That roll awards the PCs an initiative slot which they can award to any player in the group. Range is determined by bands which are looser suggestions rather than hard or fast room. So for example shooting at Close range would be the equivalent of shooting someone within a standard sized room, shooting at someone on the other side of a large warehouse might be Medium range. Also concepts like movement are a little more loose as there is no hard and fast stat to track movement, it just costs a maneuver for someone to disengage from a melee opponent, or to move from close to medium range. Also aiming your gun cost a maneuver, or getting up from prone... It's very loose and fast, but still organized.


Yancy,
