With the wotrld hungry for more Star Wars and Lucasfilm and Disney about to feed that need, Fantasy Flight Games couldn’t have timed their foray into the world of RPG better. Here’s some info on the forthcoming Star Wars®: Edge of the Empire™ Beginner Game.
In September, we announced the upcoming release of the Star Wars®: Edge of the Empire™ Beginner Game, the perfect starting point for roleplaying adventures in the Star Wars galaxy. This standalone roleplaying game (RPG) experience features a complete, learn-as-you-go adventure; pre-generated character folios keep rules right at the your fingertips, while custom dice and an exciting narrative gameplay system make every roll into a story. The rules provide hours of entertainment as you tell your own tales of a galaxy far, far away.
Veteran roleplayers might be interested in the Beginner Game for its abridged introduction to the Edge of the Empire rules, as well as its complete set of dice, maps, and other components (which can be used with the upcoming Core Rulebook). Today’s preview, however, is not intended for those veterans. Rather, today we’d like to address players who are totally new to RPGs. If that’s you, keep reading as (over the course of the next few weeks) we’ll take you through exactly what you can expect from the Star Wars: Edge of the Empire Beginner Game.
