I do find that rules can be simplified in almost all instances by letting the players dramatise how they accomplish an action, rather than having the rules dictate them through every step. Have one ro ...

Hello Falcon 79,

The game is freeform, so there is no rule system for players to worry about. The GM uses dice and common sense to arbitrate, using a simple, swift method that won't stall play.

Hello There,

Do whatever you like, Lostboy; not certain why anybody has to ask me for permission. We're all fans, admirers of WEG's game, all in the same boat.

Hello Vong, Falcon 79,

At present, the team will utilise a different way to get to its destinations each mission, so there's no signature vehicle (but you get to run the gamut of fighters, freighte ...

Hello There Vong,

I'm running the pBem via e-mail. It only requires 5-20 minutes per day commitment, and I'm easy about weekends (if you want to take a two-day break, fine by me). I shall be starti ...

I've been sat here laughing just thinking about the 'loose blaster powerpack' scenario. It sounds just like one of those authentic, George Lucas 'slapstick' moments (Jar Jar stepping in Bantha poodoo, ...

An update on my pBem: one player may or may not be playing (he's battling with apathy, the poor soul), so I now have two players, plus a potential third for the second mission. The first mission comme ...

Hello There,

I don't think it has ever been revealed? I only know what you probably know, that they are genetic experiments. I fancy the idea they are deformed to some degree, more like beast than ...

Hello There,

Ian (not a Rancor Pit member) is playing the leader of the commandoes. His character is a mid-level Alliance officer charged with ascertaining the value of a group of former Imperial p ...

The existing WEG rules are fundmentally sound, but individual opinion is partly dependant upon which point a reader considers the rules should end and the gamemaster begins, the blurred, wavering line ...

The only response is to inflict wounds on the vengeful players, try to give them a stronger prompt to turn tail. NPC allies can be employed to physically remove the angry PCs from danger.

If not, t ...

Yep, I sympathise entirely with you. I've been VERY fortunate in very rarely ever having to deal with power-gamers (I quickly wipe them out, usually by waiting until their bluster and overconfidence i ...
