Edge of the Empire, covering scoundrels, smugglers, and various ne’er do wells was officially released a few months ago, while Force and Destiny, the Jedi book, will almost assuredly be beta’ing as of next year’s GenCon (Sadly Chris will likely be able to get his own copy then, so significantly less face rubbing on my part.).Īll three lines are set exclusively in the Rebellion era. (A GM can dream, right? Chris, stop laughing, that’s mean.)Īs I said, this is the middle child (or Empire Strikes Back, if you will) in the new RPG lineup. Whatever your motivations, the players will be working for the Rebel Alliance now, so hopefully they’ll actually take your orders and do missions as expected. Characters in Age of Rebellion are not only expected to serve the Rebel Alliance but also mechanically have some form of duty to the Rebellion, be it bringing in new recruits, hindering the Imperials in their efforts, or just stomping Empire face and therefore showing that the Rebellion should be taken seriously. The ConceptĪge of Rebellion is the second in the line of new Star Wars RPGs from Fantasy Flight, covering various Rebel operatives, from pilots and troopers to spies and diplomats.

If you’re already up to speed feel free to skip those sections.Īge of Rebellion Beta is a 224-page full color softcover that retails for $30 if your local store chooses to get in on the action or you were lucky enough to go to GenCon and pick up a copy, unlike Chris (probably my last taunt. Also, since Edge of the Empire, and more importantly its dice set, have released already this book does not have the sticker activity fun time that the last beta does, though it does still have a chart for converting numerical die results to the die results used in this system. As to this review, since much of the crunchy bits as far as rules are the same I will be quoting the relevant section from our reviews of Edge of the Empire or it’s beta release. Since this is a beta much of the features will likely change before release and the soft bits (art, story) are all but missing. Since I have a copy and Chris doesn’t I thought I’d go ahead and give a review of it. Since I was there I picked up a copy, mainly to taunt Chris, but also to read it. At GenCon 2013 Fantasy Flight Games released the beta version of the next installment in their Star Wars RPG line: Age of Rebellion.
