STAR WARS

‘So you want to join the Alliance eh? A Rebel’s life is not an easy one.  Ill-equipped, outnumbered, hunted, and with no refuge.  Rebels must constantly battle the forces of the Empire.  But the Rebels hold little chance for victory.  The Empire’s reach is nearly boundless, its power overwhelming.

Even so, all across the galaxy, courageous people like you enlist in the Rebellion, determined to halt the spread of Imperial tyranny.  You must join the Rebel Alliance.  But how?  Where?  When?”

This is a modified version of the ‘Rebel Breakout’ adventure from the 1987 edition of the Star Wars RPG core rulebook, but using the 1996 ‘revised and expanded’ 2nd edition rules .  The adventure is designed for 4-6 players and I’ll provide PC templates to get us quickly into the action.  So draw your blaster, ignite your lightsaber, and jump into the cockpit of your battered X-Wing.  There’s Imps to be battled.

GM: @Asako_Soh

STORMBRINGER

Stolen Moments: Duke Avan Astran of Old Hrolmar needs adventurers to help him uncover an ancient Melnibonian tomb. An adventure set in Vilmir with a noble man whose obsessive interest in the Bright Empire may get him more than he bargained for? Your chance to adventure in Michael Moorcock’s young kingdoms. Be a nomad from the weeping wastes, an agent of chaos and invoke Arioch himself to intervene in your adventure, or even a crippled begged from Nadsokor. Demons, mad sorcerers and even madder gods await you.
