| Star Wars Miniatures | The Star Wars Miniatures collection offers a great board game that doesn't require too much time or space to play. The miniatures are also exactly the right size for use with the Star Wars Roleplaying Game, which I would highly recommend. The old roleplaying system was made by West End Games, which I haven't tried.

 Star Wars RPG Core Rulebook, Saga Edition August 6, 2008
The Star Wars RPG Core Rulebook, Saga Edition is the ultimate guide for the entire Star Wars universe. Based on all six movies of the Star Wars saga from The Phantom Menace(Episode I)- Return of the Jedi (Episode VI) and also includes the new movie Episode III-Revenge of the Sith. This book is for both PCs and Gamemasters alike with character creation, equipment, force powers, skills, feats, a gm section, and everything else to help both PCs and Gamemasters get everything they need for a great time with Star Wars. The Star Wars RPG Core Rulebook runs through three different eras in the Star Wars universe: Rise of the Empire (Episodes I-III), The Rebellion (Episodes IV-VI), and The New Jedi Order(Based on the books and comics). The book is good to have everything you need to start your first adventures, sessions, and campaigns in the game and will also help with the sourcebooks coming with the next months. For fans of the RPG and the Star Wars universe this is a definite must buy.
 More source needed June 15, 2008
I love the game but.....The rule book is not really laid out well. Character creation is the same as any game using the D20 system but the character creation process doesn't flow. The layout of the book causes one to constantly flip back and forth between sections. I also found fields on the included character sheet, such as Initiative that I can't find described in the book in a way that makes me think it should be on the character sheet. The powers, skills and talents section are pretty descriptive. Where I think the book was lacking was in source material. The available equipment, armor and weapons was a pretty short list and excluded items such as the sword. The choice of races is pretty limited. Some races such as Gammorean have so many limitations a player character would be suicidal to select them. To get around the limited gear, I got out KOTOR and KOTOR II fired up some saved games and went to a few merchants to build up my options. With only 4 types of armor in the core rules, PC's don't have many options. As big as the Star Wars universe is, there isn't much source. I suggest getting involved in an online gaming community. All in all a good buy but don't expect to be wowed.
Really useful little book! June 8, 2008
I bought a copy of this book & gave it to my friends for Christmas. We use it quite frequently when we game & we always have a blast. It's got stats for various races, ships, etc. Quite a thorough little book & I'd really recommend it if you're into playing Star Wars campaigns.
Great game, not just a great Star Wars game June 1, 2008
Star Wars Saga is the best in the series. I wish it were a little longer, providing more options and powers, but WotC has created out a superb product in Saga. Not just the best of Star Wars, but one of the best RPG's I've ever played.
The Jedi are still a little overpowered, but the other classes hold their own more effectively then ever.
The single best Star Wars RPG approach ever June 1, 2008
I think the authors really hit the nail in the head with this. It is the best Star Wars RPG I've ever. Almost every single aspect of the movies was adequately modeled in the rules, which remained, surpringly, simple.

So I'm torn on...
wether Mira is any good. At first I was glad I pulled her because I like bounty hunters, but I'm torn as to wether she's any good. What do you guys think?
Separatist Squad
I don't know anyone who collects SWM but me. I have some squads I put together for an occational game with a friend. The last time (second) we played we played Separatists and Republic. As Separatist I got my hat handed to me. I'm trying to find a good squad but am having difficulty.
The...
ok I have a custom Rules question.
I have been thinking about making a custom Ponda Baba post Cantina. I was going to mod it and have his arm cut off and on the base of the model. Now the question is Is this a legal DCI custom?
Rakghoul Disease
I just what to be sure.
The Save 11 is ONLY for the extra Damage, NOT for the mutation. Right?
So if I kill an ugnaught it will Automatically change into a Rakghoul.
Han STA & Garm's CE
If Boba merc was in a squad with Garm and Han STA, can boba move 6 squares and still use double attack because of Garm's CE? Personally i think he can't but there is no harm in asking.
Doesn't general Wedge Antillies look like the fonz from happy days?
We all know Mira is the hottie Bounty Hunter of the KOTOR set, but General Wedge Antillies is the fonz. New nickname General Fonz Antillies!
Reign of the Fetts (200 pts)
Guess what, General Wedge found his way into another squad. I'm sure your all sick of seeing him. Without further ado, here is the 200 point lineup:
Boba Fett, Mercenary 58
Jango Fett, Bounty Hunter 56
Garm Bel Iblis 45
General Wedge Antilles 23
General Dodonna 9
Uggie Demo 3 x 3 = 9
Garm's...
Force Sense, one or all enemies?
Hello I have a question
If you activate Force Sense does it affects all characters or only one character? what range?
Taris Map
Over at theforce.net, there is a writeup on the seminar and a picture of the infamous Taris map for those who have not seen it. It was given out on the back of the KOTOR poster, but will see wider distribution in the forth coming league sets.

40-Figure Sets = 1 figure per preview?
Because the set have been reduced to 40. Does this mean that we will only have 1 figure per preview?
Because 7 previews with 2 figures per is 14. Nearly half the set! Would WOTC give out nearly half their set in just their previews?
Gotal Mercenary
So is true that if the Gotal Mercenary can make an attack from it's starting space, that it cannot use Intuition at the beginning of the round? I'm not 100% of this. Thanks in Advance.
New Player!
Hey Fellow Jedi and Force Users alike! I have just started playing minis. I have collected them for along time for RPG but decided to play for the real game. Any hints and tips? I want to become the best just like I am in Magic! No one can beat me in magic, my boyfriend and I play it all the time...
Master/Apprentice tournament (Sith)
Not sure if this has beendone before but I have constructed a list of notable sith masters and aprrentices that have minis and would like to see who you guys think is the best Master/Apprentice combo IN MINIS NOT STAR WARS CANNON
The rules are
-both minis must be on a dark side faction or fringe
-...
Pack kharma at work....
I think it is safe to say that most of us here at the SWM forum believe in pack kharma. For those of you that dont know, it is essentially the belief that you will eventually pull something good from a pack when you have a streak of garbage pulls. It is what makes buying packs worthwhile when...
Sith Squads, which is the best???
Okay so heres a few attampts at Sith Squads lmk what u think... I'd appreciate any help given... thanks in advance to any who do.
Squad 1:
200 pts. 13 activations
49 Darth Malak, Dark Lord of the Sith
37 Aurra Sing
20 Sith Trooper Captain
13 Czerka Scientist
KOTOR pulls thread
Bought 6 boosters today. Got:
Master Lucien Draay
Carth Onasi
Darth Sion
T3-M4
Captain Panaka
Bao-Dur
Not bad for only 6 boosters. What else did everyone get?
Cortosis Gauntlets
With my terrible memory, I forgot the ruling and couldn't find any posts on it, so I have to ask. When does the -20 Damage take place when a character attacks? Can it deal 20 damage on a crit? Or is the character considered to have a Damage rating of 0?
Squeezing
Can a huge character pass threw a wall (squeeze) when there is a wide area of 3 square ? Basicaly, can you squeeze when you could pass threw the wide opening ?
Holo Veers and the Gen Con experience
Here is my report from what happened at Gencon.
I was the guy who played in the Masters with Holo Veers.
Thrawn
Mas
Holo Veers
Felucian ST Officer
Piett
2x uggs
Luck isn't on my side - KotOR Pulls
So between GenCon, Borders, and 2 LGS/LCS I've bought/received 22 boosters. I've netted:
5 Zaynes
3 T3-M4
3 Han Solo, Smuggler
2 Wedges
2 Leias
So I'm definitely not happy about all the Zaynes. I swear, if I pull another in my upcoming cases I'm half tempted to melt/pitch/flush/launch...
