You know I love me some Star Wars gaming, right? I made these cockpits for use in roll20, as a way to make the digital tabletop a bit more immersive, and I thought I’d share them here. They live on a google folder, so I’ll be adding to it as I make more. Let me […]

December 20, 2012 by newbiedm

I received the new Star Wars Edge of the Empire Beginner’s game in the mail yesterday, and thought I’d share with you the contents of the box. I can’t speak yet to the actual playing experience, that won’t happen for another week or so, but I can comment on the contents of the game. It’s worth noting that I […]

I originally posted this on my Google+ page, I am reposting it here for those not on G+. I play tested space combat in my SW/Age hack last night, and it went pretty well. I’m going to get into a bit of the crunchy AGE bits here, so bear with me if you don’t understand […]

May 3, 2012 by newbiedm

One of the questions I’ve been asked about my Star Wars/Age conversion is about the Force.
