    Hello,

    is there any indication who participated in the Emerald Championship in 1023? I know that the Finalist were Akodo Toturi and Bayushi Aramoro, but are there other official NSCs that have participated?

    Also what are the prerequisites to participate, theoretical as well as social: e.g. Maybe technically everybody is able to enter the competition, but it would be a extreme social misstep to enter unless you have made a name for yourself.

     

    If there are no other documented Participants, I would be happy with suggestions who would probably have entered and lost to the two finalists.

     

    Kind Regards,

    Aldyramon

    I have a question about the "Deflective Defense" Kata (Path of Waves p 88):

    How long does the enhanced Physical Resistance Effect last?

    It does not Specify this in the Text.

     

    Kind Regards,

    Aldyramon

    I will handle it like described in the book "Shogun" by James Clavell, even if it is not necessary canon. Every Samurai get an land grant which he needs to protect/administer and is entitled to its production (minus taxes etc). For starting characters this will be a little village, but could get upgraded depending on how the characters raise in the social standing.

    Everything concerning money is not handled by the Samurai directly but by his wife/housekeeper/etc...

     

    I find this a very stylish solution and it will keep the bookkeeping to a minimum.

    I did not come to that point in my group, but I planed loosly that the SCs would play a major roll in the bombardment and destruction of Jyrenne Base. It is mentioned in the Legends Timeline:

    Just read this Wookipedia Article an let your imagination run wild with it:

    http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Attack_on_the_Imperial_Army-Navy_Ordnance_Center

    I was planning on getting the PCs to sapotage the Bases Shields in some way, so that the Rebel Attack would be successfull. You could also lead up to this Mission by inciting some nearby system to get the imperial Warships to "respond to an Emergency" elsewhere to make the Rebel Assault possible, etc. 

    The Attack would be a Hit&Run Assault by the Rebels while evacuating all  forces from Onderon. 

     

    I think this would be a big bang to end the Onderon "Campaign".

    I am in Germany, too, but my Forged in Battle (Preorder) came rather quickly after the US Release, but I am still waiting  on No Desintigrations (also Preorder).

    The NPC Cards are notoriously hard to get, you just have to preorder them and wait for the next print run or something. Even most of the Books are gone rather quickly so I preorder everything to avoid haven to wait on a Reprint...

    The first Impression a lot of People (me included) get when they see the Special Dice is negative (Money grap etc.) but after playing for more than a year of FFg Star Wars i have to say the Special Dice are one of the greatest asset of the game. They are easy to use and offer a non linear Resolution that would not be possible with Standard dice.

    I wasn't going to ruin the whole book for people. I left the Scars and Trophies out for a reason. :D

    It's a solid book, worth the buy and read.

    Maybe it's the parent in me, but I seem to be pushing the notion that you buy the book and read it yourself, and not look for answers on the internet. (My kids probably hate me...)

    Pffff, knowing FFG it will be 2017 before they get that book to europe :P

     

     

    Oddball can you give me the names of some of those companies?

     

    www.sphaerenmeisters-spiele.de

     

    Germany based but they sell to all of EU, I don't know the shipping cost, but should be not so bad. I pre-ordered Forged in Battle there and it arrived on release date, but usually they are 1-2weeks behind...

     

     

     I am not sure what all your Problems are. I bought every FFG Star Wars Book and most of the time I did not have to wait longer than 2 weeks till the books are available in German Online Shops...

    What Books do you already have?

     

    1. You can play with 3 Players, but 1GM and 3-5players are best.

    2. Force Sensitive Bounty Hunter is possible

    3. You only need the EotE Core Rulebook, Take Bounty Hunter Career (EotE Core Rules) and either Force-User in Exile (EotE Core Rules) or Force Sensitive Emergent (AoR Core Rules). To get a really powerful Force-User you should also have the Force & Destiny Core Rules, but that can wait for later.

    4. Nexus of Power is the F&D Sourcebook about Places of Power in the Galaxy and the mysteries of the Force, has lots of good Inspiration and so on.

    to Clarify the Thread:

    In the Order 66 Podcast the Hosts set out a number of guidelines "How to be a better player in FFG Star Wars"

     

    First Guideline was: Never "help" another player figuring out the dice results. Because it will be most likely seen as rude by the helped player, like telling him, that he is too stupid to do it himself.

     

    in my group I did not had this problem, but in half of them I am on roll20, so the Dicepool sorts itself out...

    You can make a whole campaign out of the Beginner Set Adventure + Addon Adventure on the FFG Site.

     

    some small spoilers!

    I started with my PCs being sent to Onderon to capture the Whisper Base, so they got in contact with a rebel sympathiser cantina barkeeper in Iziz and had to find the base first, then capture it and now they are the Rebel cell on Onderon tasked with building up a Resistance on the Planet and taking down the Imperial Navy Ordnance Depot on the Planet.

     

    The Addon Adventure from the FFG Site has a lot of good Adventure Seeds and you can flesh it out with stuff you create yourself, it is really fun.

     

    You should make sure that your PCs have brought set of Skills anyway, so there should be no problem.

    I would imagine, that if you are at Gencon, you probably have better things to do than to inform the forum about the new book over a probably sh*tty internet connection via a hotel on a smartphone. After Gencon is over i am sure more news are coming in.

     

    on a sidenote: I got the Force Awakings Beginners Set on Saturday and I am living in Germany ordering via a German Online Shop, so this time they were really fast...
