| 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.

Product Description A Star WarsTM Roleplaying Game campaign set during the dawn of the Old Republic...
Make the jump to lightspeed 4,000 years before the Battle of Yavin to a time when Jedi Knights and Sith Lords clashed in galactic conflict. This campaign guide offers both players and Gamemasters a wide array of new options that can be used to craft a unique roleplaying game experience. As the galaxy plunges into one war after another, the forces of the Republic, along with their Jedi allies, struggle to protect themselves from hordes of invading Mandalorians, tyrannical Sith lords, and traitorous allies on every front.
Featuring new game material drawn from a variety of sources, and including characters, weapons, vehicles, and droids, this book presents an entire campaign during the violent days of the Old Republic. This book also contains new Force powers, Force techniques, and Force secrets for Jedi and Sith characters, as well as new options for characters of all classes. Players can take advantage of new talents, feats, and other options to play a Mandalorian neo-crusader, a Republic soldier battling against the forces of Darth Revan and Darth Malak, or a Jedi in exile on the run from the Sith.

Well done December 17, 2008 This book is as extensivily layed out as the main book for the series, covering new skills and feats, characters and droids. It offers senaros, NPCs, and advice on what to do if all your players are Knights of the Old Republic fans and want to be HK-47. This book is a great choice for fans of the game, and a good choice for any Star Wars fan in general who wants to add new ideas and concepts to their role playing game.
True to the material and a joy to read November 25, 2008 One of the most annoying things of the "Other media to game" model is that the results are frequently less than inspiring. Not so in this case. The material is neatly arranged, true to the original source material and a joy to read. It inspires both player and game-master notions.
KOTOR campaign guide November 10, 2008 Good product full of useful information for games centered in the old republic era. Since most of the characters are out of video games and comic books they had artists do pretty slick drawings and paintings of characters and ships. Lots of talents, feats and other things that could be useful in other eras of play.
KOTOR Campaign Guide November 9, 2008 This was great product. It will be of special interest to not only roleplayers but also anyone who has played Bioware's KOTOR series. I really enjoyed this book and found it a great read.
great tie into video games October 31, 2008 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
If you like to two Knights of the Old Republic games that came out you will like this book.

Deal of a Lifetime I just came across the deal of a lifetime and had to share. Bounty Hunters, and Force Unleashed boosters for 6 dollars each.
Here is how it worked. Borders at my local mall is going out of buisness so everything is 50% off. 11 dollar boosters! On top of that my GF works in customer service at the...
Vassal SWM Module - Possible to change resolution Using Vassal v3.0.17. The Help/About Screen shows the mod to be at 8.2. but Help/Mod Info shows 8.4?
Using a 22" LCD @ 1680x1050, XP box. Curious to see if there any way to have the map fullscreen, or have it resized to fit in all available space (other than scaling using the zoom buttons?
Vader JH, meet Jolee Bindo So it's a bsic B&B concept at 200, but added Jolee for his ability to not help the troops, but help Vader, who barely needs help as is, but is even more of a tank with a small bonus to his attack and defense score. And this leaves me an extra point, but I'm happy with it. Any thoughts, I haven't...

Czerka/Poison Blade Does the Czerka SA that grants twin not work when Poison Blade goes into effect?
Is This a Good Idea? In my area, not too many people play. there are some people intrested, but they don't have many pieces so they can't justify paying the 6$ entry fee to play every week. i plan on making some pre-constructed squads for them that they can purchase from me. i'd be selling off most of the stuff i don't...
Why do we need sooo many Vaders? I love the game and I think Wizards has done a fine job with the figures. Why do they keep remaking the same characters over and over? How many Vaders do we need? or Luke, Lando and Han? What about Ben Skywalker, Jaina Sword to the Jedi, Zekk, or Jagged Fel dark jedi hunter? There are soooooo many...
hey, any pro converters, can you make this guy? i think he's from Episode 5 as i recall seeing him in the background of the anakin/padme romance scenes on the beach in Naboo. those crazy backwoods nabooite free-wheelin' hippies!
i'm not sure what base model we'd have to use in SWM to make him though... :D ...

My son is going to be a great Jedi Knight A few months ago, I posted the picture of my 1 1/2 year-old son hugging a lightsaber at Target. So last night I was playing my brother in a game (see thread "Time for an Intervention") and my son came walking up and wanted to sit on my lap. He doesn't really talk yet, but I could see the glimmer...
Time for an Intervention So, for the longest time, my brother has put together the some pretty bad squads. He usually rejects my advice (but not all) by saying that he has a different "playing style". (Sounds like denial to me ;) )
Anyhow, I've never given him a hard time about it because we play for fun. However, last...
Font issues Does anyone know the font for the new style of cards.... it looks like they are still using Agency FB for the body text but the header font is new...any thoughts?

Captain Rex
R2-Astromech
Jedi Weapon Master
Rorrun Corrob
Wicket
100pts 5 activations, basic Jedi Interference style with Rex playing Boba Fett's old roll. Hopefully win an init and then activate some...
Thrawn's Ladies I wanted to try the SC/Czerka combo :P
37 Grand Admiral Thrawn
19 Ayy Vida
18 Moff Nyna Calixte
34 Storm Commando x2
13 Czerka Scientist
8 Mas Amedda
14 Aqualish Assassin x2
Nickname or anyone Where could I find a list of force powers that are able to be used against the Yuuzong Vong? (OK to use against force immunity)
Could Darth Vader, SotJ use Lightsaber Throw 2?
I tried finding a list to help me out, but was unable to find anything. Please help. Thanks a lot.
Cade Skywalker? Amazingly Broken! Well, when he first came out, and people used him with Doombot, he was a pain, but an expensive pain, and not a big threat. I'm sure in bigger games, he isn't a major factor. However, with his long removed female ancestor, Padme Amidala, Senator, he has a place to be one of the most broken pieces...
customs needed! If somone could make a one of the customs listed below, I would pay or trade you for it.
Annihilator Droid
Boss Nass
Felucian
Dooku
