Star Wars (West End Games)

Star Wars An RPG obviously based on the Star Wars phenomenon , covering the first three films as well as the storylines presented in the comics released by Dark Horse . Very simplistic & a whole lot of fun , this RPG used what was called by West End Games (WEG) the D6 system . In my humble opinion the 1st edition of this game was better than the later version due to the fact the emphasis was placed on adventure rather than technical information and stats . Perfect for beginners and a welcome change for experienced gamers - an absolute dream to run and highly recommended . The supplements were good but detracted somewhat from the fun-factor of the game . These add ons were great , however , as general information books to non - roleplayers as all the data has been approved by George Lucas himself - great if you want to know exactly how many cannons the Death Star actually has . Unfortunately , WEG have now lost the licence to TSR which has seen the demise of this wonderful little game . This is another of my top 5 games and well loved it is too….
