Game Setup
Last Time on Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game: After waking the mad pirate Celis Mott, it is clear he was influenced by the Red Mist. He reluctantly agrees that staying together is better than wandering solo, though he is wanting to get on a ship and get off this alien hell hole as quickly as possible. They continue exploring the first level of this ship and find a brand new hypercoil in the cargo hold. They wander into another room filled with red mist which affects Rom and Clayvin immediately. Rom is pulled into despair and needs to extinguish the curse of life from everyone, and Clayvin flees from the spreading darkness all around him. As Rom turns on Clayvin, Cornelius races to stop him and inadvertently nearly kills him in the process. They bring him back, but he is clearly suffering from the mist’ effects, weakening him. They climb a crawl tube from level one to level two and find translucent pods which seem to be growing ships. Further exploration reveals a massive computer room which seems to be monitoring the alien craft but it is a hybrid of bio-mechanical connectivity which baffles the rebels. They enter a nutrient chamber and are attacked by floating globs which carry off a screaming Celis and two of the three Celestial Crewmen. They find a power coupler in the hanger decks in one of the alien ships and pull it out. With two of the five required parts to rebuild their hyperdrive, they are feeling pretty good. Then they wander into a chamber filled with alien armor, and one disconnects itself and turns to attack!
About Star Wars Otherspace
Beyond realspace, past the time-bending corridors of hyperspace, another galaxy waits to be discovered. When a problem develops with the hyperdrive engine of an Alliance prisoner transport, members of both the Rebellion and the Empire are deposited into a strange, unexplored dimension between the hyperlanes and realspace.
Here, abandoned ships from all over known space float beside those of unknown origin. These desolate craft orbit a giant vessel, drawn to it like moths to a flame—or a spider’s web.
Within the dark interior of the giant ship, the war between Rebel and Imperial finds new battlegrounds and new weapons with which to destroy each other. But they also find something else, something that just might find them first. It wants to escape otherspace, to reach realspace. And when it does, the galaxy will die!
Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game 30th Anniversary Edition
Few books or games have had as enduring an impact upon the Star Wars galaxy and its fans as Star Wars™: The Roleplaying Game. Originally published by West End Games in 1987, it arrived at a time when the future of the Star Wars galaxy was uncertain, and it captivated a whole generation of gamers with rules and guidelines that made it possible to design and enjoy adventures truly worthy of the Star Wars universe and its ongoing space opera.
Now Fantasy Flight Games is proud to offer faithful recreations of this influential rulebook and The Star Wars™ Sourcebook. Our Star Wars™: The Roleplaying Game 30th Anniversary Edition is a limited edition set of both books, printed with higher quality than the originals and packaged in a stylized slipcase.
These books were sent to Timothy Zahn as references when he started to develop Grand Admiral Thrawn and his Thrawn trilogy. They introduced materials that were later adopted into Star Wars canon, such as the names of alien races like the Twi’lek, Rodians, and Quarren. They even inspired members of the Lucasfilm Story Group as they worked on their writers’ bible.
Now, Fantasy Flight Games is proud to return Star Wars: The Roleplaying to print as a collectible set of two high-quality, hardbound books presented in a stylized slipcase. You’ll find all the original game materials—just as playable as ever—and they’re presented with the same graphic design and fake, in-universe Star Wars advertisements for the Imperial Navy, the R2 astromech Droid, and more.
Even the books’ use of black-and-white, blue ink, and full color sections have been recreated, along with its use of still photos and concept art, some of which have been updated for this new 30th Anniversary Edition. Finally, the books come with a foreword by Pablo Hidalgo, one of the creative executives on the Lucasfilm Story Group.
