Star Wars RPG: Edge Of The Empire Specialization Decks

Edge of the Empire Specialization Decks provide GMs and players with an easy way to manage character and NPC talents at the gaming table. New and experienced players alike will appreciate these handy reference cards, and GMs will love being able to keep the action moving.

The nineteen career specialization talent trees available in the Edge of the Empire Core Rulebook are each represented by a deck of cards. No matter what your background, your character talents are vital as you and your crew deal with whatever surprises come your way. Keep your focus on the action with the help of the Star Wars: Edge of the Empire Specialization Decks!

Each Specialization Deck comes with a reference card, which details how to use the twenty included talent cards. With a description of each talent, along with the icons for dice needed to make any relevant checks on each card, Specialization Decks ensure you'll have all the information you'll need to keep your head in the game. Edge of the Empire Specialization Decks don't replace the talent trees found in the Core Rulebook, but are instead an excellent optional tool, which help you stay focused on the game. The following Edge of the Empire Specialization Decks are currently available, at the SRP of $6.95 each:

  • Edge of the Empire Fringer Specialization Deck;
  • Edge of the Empire Trader Specialization Deck;
  • Edge of the Empire Scout Specialization Deck;
  • Edge of the Empire Mercenary Specialization Deck;
  • Edge of the Empire Marauder Specialization Deck;
  • Edge of the Empire Bodyguard Specialization Deck.

If you are in Puerto Rico, Bad DM knows for a fact the the The Gaming Pit, in Guaynabo, has these decks available.

Star Wars RPG: Suns Of Fortune

The fourth quarter of 2013 will see the release of another sourcebook for Fantasy Flight Games' Star Wars: Edge of the Empire. The upcoming book, Suns of Fortune, will focus on the Corellian sector and the vehicles it is famous for.

The setting described in Suns of Fortune is famous for being the birthplace of smuggler extraordinaire Han Solo, as well as Wedge Antilles. It is a region of space struggling to remain independent during the Empire's consolidation of power.

Suns of Fortune will feature nine "modular encounters" for the Game Master to integrate into his Edge of the Empire campaign, as well as dozens of new vehicles and three new alien species. SRP will be $39.95.

Star Wars RPG: Edge of Rebellion

Fantasy Flight Games will release a limited edition beta-test rulebook for Star Wars: Age of Rebellion soon. The book will be available through Fantasy Flight Games' webstore and participating retailers. The Star Wars: Age of Empires beta-test rulebook will consist of 224 pages and will be softcover. It will be retailed at a MSRP of $29.95. The beta period will end on October 8, 2013.

There are three planned cross-compatible Star Wars RPG systems from Fantasy Flight Games. The first is the recently released Star Wars RPG: Edge of the Empire Core Rulebook. The first adventure for this system - Beyond the Rim - shouldbe released before the end of the 3rd Quarter. Star Wars: Age of Rebellion is the second system and Star Wars: Enter the Unknown the third.  Star Wars: Enter the Unknown is expected to be released during the 4th Quarter of 2013.

Star Wars: Age of Rebellion allows players to take the roles of Rebel Alliance members fighting the Galactic Empire during the Rebellion time period. Unlike the final version, this book will have much less art and background material because, being a beta, it is intended to generate feedback. For the same reason, the information on adversaries, equipment, and vehicles is abbreviated to focus on the playtesting.
