West End and Wizards of the Coast had their go. Now itās Fantasy Flight Gamesā turn at tackling Star Wars tabletop role-playing, and theyāre off to a gruff and gritty start with Edge of the Empire. Who wants to be a bounty hunter?
Rather than attempting to represent the length and breadth of the Star Wars universe in a single product, Fantasy Flight is tackling three different aspects of the setting with three different core sets, the first of which officially launches this week.
Edge of the Empire is all about living on the outer rim. Itās charming smugglers and deadly bounty hunters. Who could ask for anything more?
In 2014 the line expands with the Rebel-centric Age of Rebellion, and then come the Jedi in 2015 with Force of Destiny. Thatās nice. I want to be a smuggler. More than that, Iād like my old tabletop role-playing group back, so Iām not just filling out a character sheet and then crying over it for hours.
The Core Rulebook, dice and Game Masters Kit for Edge of the Empire are now available at Fantasy Flightās website and wherever such things are sold.
