The Secret of Gand



In the last adventure, I made a static image of a Star Wars crawler (see above). Of course, one of my players who shall remain Anonymous decided to criticize me for not making it animated.

Challenge Accepted.


Here's the crawler for my next Edge of the Empire / Age of Rebellion adventure, called "The Secret of Gand".

Yea, I realize that I misspelled one word, but I didn't feel like redoing the render and upload. Let's see who can find it first.

I did this video with a combination of Adobe Illustrator and Adobe After Effects. Obviously I stole the GHTROC-720 (I have no idea the original source, despite trying to google for it), and anyone that didn't grow up in a barn knows that I stole the audio. Hopefully Disney will overlook it.

Phantom Interlude

I only had 3 players this weekend, so I created a side quest for them.  Since this is Star Wars: Edge of the Empire, I went ahead and made a crawler image in Adobe Illustrator.



Of course I had at least one person ask why I didn't animate it.  Sigh.  MAYBE NEXT TIME I WILL DAMMIT.

Example of One-Check combat resolution

In between sessions, our group was having so much fun that we ended up continuing the adventure by email. Most of this was discourse, minor actions, exploration, etc. But then the party got to a big battle scene. Star Wars: Edge of the Empire has a mechanic for one-check combat resolution, so I decided to use this mechanic and carry the story forward.

Spoiler Alert: This is a scene from Beyond the Rim (with some of my own modifications), so if you haven't played that yet and are likely to be a player, you might want to skip this post.
