What are Galactic & Going Rogue? – Kickstarter Campaign

Tomás Giménez Rioja — Fri, 27 Jun 2025 12:29:14 +0000

I have been a sci fi and Star Wars fan for a looong while. I feel that even if it isn’t as popular as the medieval fantasy genre in TTRPGs, I would dare say it allows you to explore some very different and difficult topics that don’t always resonate as well with other genres. Now, while some issues have started to arise concerning similar games, I was contacted by Jess to see if I was interested in talking about the […]

The Art of the Apocalypse – 5 Ways to Destroy Your Roleplaying World

A.A. Amirault — Tue, 02 Feb 2016 12:37:19 +0000

One of my guilty pleasures is a love for the end of the world movies/television shows. I’m not sure why these have always fascinated me but I suppose they are a grim reminder that this world we’ve built is always just a few events away from total chaos. This genre must also hit a chord with thousands of others, as more and more of these types of shows are being produced. I grew up with shows like Night of the […]

Updated: Star Wars Tabletop RPGs – Past & Present

DM Shawn — Tue, 15 Dec 2015 03:12:45 +0000

I’m sure lots of our readers have played or are currently playing a Star Wars tabletop RPG. For everyone else, I thought I’d write up a primer on the excellent Star Wars RPG options that are out there. Tabletop roleplaying games set in the Star Wars universe have a pretty long history starting back in 1987 and continuing into the present day. West End Games, Wizards of the Coast and Final Flight Games have all provided excellent rules and sourcebooks […]

Star Wars Jedi – D&D 5e Homebrew

Michael Long — Mon, 14 Dec 2015 23:21:58 +0000

Last year I put together a Rules as Written (RAW) character build that could be used for D&D 5th edition to play a Jedi. After putting it together, there were a lot of great comments and critiques, and one that stuck with me was I didn’t have any of the specific Force powers. I had mainly focused on fighting with a lightsaber, and using the monk’s Ki powers to simulate use of jedi powers. But nothing screamed out JEDI! Since […]

Novel Inspiration: Kaminoans for 5th edition

Rich Howard — Wed, 25 Nov 2015 13:00:11 +0000

The kaminoan species in the Star Wars universe played an integral role in the fall of the Galactic Republic and rise of the Empire. The victims of a near-genocidal flood after their planet’s most-recent Ice Age, the kaminoans turned to highly selective and brutally efficient breeding and genetic manipulation to survive. The long-term results of such environmental pressures were perfectionism, isolationism, and a lack of empathy for species that don’t strive for perfection. From the Wookiepedia: After the disastrous end of an […]

Novel Inspiration: Chagrians for 5th edition

Rich Howard — Wed, 30 Sep 2015 12:00:26 +0000

Chagrians are a Star Wars species seen in many of the films and Expanded Universe media, most notably as the assistant to the Emperor, and it’s one I only recently discovered has an aquatic origin. Though there are scores of aquatic sentient species listed in the Wookieepedia, not all of them add something new to a campaign. The chagrians provide an intriguing mix of physical strength, intelligence, and higher education you don’t see in many other races. Chagrians also have odd quirks, […]

Novel Inspiration: Nautolans for 5th edition

Rich Howard — Wed, 23 Sep 2015 15:18:44 +0000

Nautolans are a highly adaptable amphibious humanoid species canon to the Star Wars Universe, the most famous being Jedi Master Kit Fisto. Nautolans make an excellent species template for any aquatic scifi species or fantasy race. Their comfort both above and below water makes them ideal for mixed-surface-aquatic parties of adventurers, allowing them the flexibility to travel from the depths of the ocean to the middle of the desert without suffering stresses worse than an average human in non-aquatic environments. […]

The Undine, ERRT Transport

Rich Howard — Wed, 15 Jul 2015 16:40:01 +0000

Last week I presented a campaign outline to take your D&D PCs from 1st-15th level. This week I’d planned to present enemies for use against parties of 16th-20th level, followed by a second aquatic campaign outline next week. Well, the list of enemies for the highest tier of play is so short that I decided to combine the two posts into one which will both be presented next week! This week, I wanted to share with you a new project I’ve been working […]

Star Wars Day: Chewbacca

Michael Long — Mon, 04 May 2015 18:16:23 +0000

Glory Glory! Have you seen all the great Star Wars fan work! It is amazing to see all the art, costumes, and creativity of SW Fans. So today, I have to put “forth” my handiwork for Star Wars Day. Previously, I wrote an article on Jedi, but here is the character that I like the best, Chewbacca! Plus I’ve met Peter Mayhew, and he’s a very cool mellow dude. Chewbacca Chewbacca is a legendary Wookiee from Kashyyyk and co-pilot of […]
