Resources for the d6 Star Wars RPG

With Fantasy Flight Games transferring control of the Star Wars RPG lines to Edge Studio, we find ourselves in some all-too-familiar territory. Back in 1999, with the premiere of The Phantom Menace, West End Games lost the RPG rights, leading to a hiatus at a time when there was plenty of new content being created. Similarly, the d20-based RPG from Wizards of the Coast ran steadily for ten years, but came to an end when the Saga Edition line was finished in 2010. At that time, the Clone Wars movie had been released to theaters, and the animated series based on it was exploring that time period. Fantasy Flight Games would bring out its own RPG in 2012-13, but after eight years of it, we once again do not have a game in print--in spite of the fact that the live-action TV series are about to explode with new content. 

All of this has me looking at my Star Wars shelves, thinking about adventures and campaigns, and wondering just which rules I want to use. For that reason I've been digging into resources for the old d6 System, and decided to share a list here for anyone who might be interested. I will continue to update this list as I find new things.

The Rancor Pit--This seems to be the most active online forum for the old West End incarnation of the SWRPG.

The d6 Holocron--This website has an impressive repository of old d6 System material.

The Bad Batch--May the 4th Be With You

After watching the final season of The Clone Wars, I was intrigued by the announcement of a new animated series featuring the misfit clones who call themselves The Bad Batch. Moving into the time period following Order 66, I think this has some interesting potential. It strikes me as being something like a Star Wars version of The A-Team, with them taking jobs to help people in need while also evading pursuit by the authorities. 

Here's the trailer for it. 


Until today, it wasn't clear just when the first episode would be released, but now there's news. 

Disney+ Announces Premiere Dates, Releases New Images for Upcoming Shows

Update: Here's the article from StarWars.com. 

STAR WARS: THE BAD BATCH WILL COME TO DISNEY+ ON MAY THE 4TH

Compiled Resources for the Fantasy Flight Games Star Wars RPGs

I started this blog nearly eight years ago, when Fantasy Flight Games had just released the Edge of the Empire RPG. About the same time I started a thread on their message boards to compile resources that were shared by other enthusiasts. That eventually grew to be pretty long, and was even pinned by the board moderators. Seeing as those message boards have now been shut down, as part of the Star Wars RPG transferring to Edge Studio, I figure it's appropriate to transfer that information here. I might dig through and clean up these listings, but for now here they are in a rather rough fashion.

FFG SWRPG Compiled Resources List

This list includes supplements, adventures and other resources created by fans for use with the Star Wars roleplaying games from Fantasy Flight Games—Edge of the Empire, Age of Rebellion, and Force and Destiny. I am moving a copy of it to this blog because the FFG online forum is scheduled to close after 31 January 2021. Please feel free to copy this information to other websites, too, so that it is not lost.
