What are the star systems/planets most frequently featured in your adventures?
Right now, my game had the PC go from Annaj (just weeks after the Battle of Endor) to Eriadu, where they are scheming to broadcast the Rebellion's victory press release. |

My own... I like to let my players shine in their own light, so going to places where stuff's already gone down kinda reminds them that they're overshadowed by canon characters. Plus it means I get to be creative, and I don't have to worry too much about canon.
I mean I love Tattooine, but from all the s*** that goes down there you'd think it was the centre of the universe. And it totally undermines the "lawless backwater world" that's essential to its concept.
I did quite like Teth and Trandoshan from the Clone Wars series...

Since I GM out in Wildspace, I do mostly my own worlds too, but we've been to Adumar once, and I expect we'll make it into Hutt space soon. The call of the Nar Shadda black market is irresistible to any PC. First, though, my brother will have to fight his way off of one of my favorite creations. Ashen, a world that has been involved in intercontinental war for the last few hundred years. It's like the Pacific Northwest on May 19, 1980. Covered in ashy volcanic eruptions dotting the evergreen wildernesses. _________________ Or that excessively long "Noooooooooo" was the Whining Side of the Force leaving him. - Dustflier

Elrood has been a favorite of our group. We started with the WEG book and eventually created our own little world in the drift. |

We use a heavily modified Elrood Sector - we added about another dozen or so planets - and a made up sector next to it. That allows the characters to be regional heroes without having to compete with the movie characters. There have also been occassional side jaunts to places like Celanon, Elshandru Pica, and Stend. We never have gotten to Tatooine though. |

I played a campaign in the Tapani Sector once that I really enjoyed. _________________ "No set of rules can cover every situation. It's expected that you will make up new rules to suit the needs of your game." - The Star Wars Roleplaying Game, 2R&E, pg. 69, WEG, 1996.

For several years after starting the Star Wars roleplaying game, I only owned the core book. The first suppliment I ever bought was "Flashpoint! Brak Sector." I instantly fell in love with the book and still make occasional use of it in my games. I think my favorate feature of the book has always been the massive Astrogation chart, . . . I ran a smugglers campaign in the sector once, and it isnt uncommon for my adventures to detour through the sector for a gaming session. |

For some lots of action always happens on Dantooine in my groups.
Ord Mantell, Nar Shaddaa, and Tatooine too..
Though favorites have to come to Tatooine, before the Empire, and Hoth. Those too extreme I just love to play with. |

System wise probably the Teedio System. I've had PCs visit Exis Station in the Teedio system a couple of times now. _________________ FLUFFY for President!!!!

Tatooine is my favorite planet. Its small enough that i can keep track of all the cities and important places (planets like corusant are so overwhelming it makes the characters feel completely insignificant when they are one of billions upon billions of people walking the streets or sky bridges of buildings that are thousands or even tens of thousands of feet tall), also there are several professionally done maps which help the player vizualize where locations are and how far apart they are so i dont have to constantly draw up maps. Also, theres lots of action and places for criminals to hang out along with a small presence from the empire and rebels when needed for a storyline.
The elrood sector is my favorite area of the galaxy. it works great if you have a campaign thats heavily space based, like pirates/privateers that rarely land or do planetary actions. Ive found a couple different star maps of the planets, astroid field and hyperspace lanes.
Hoth is a great single mission. If my PCs are in anyway involved with the rebellion i always make sure to get them caught up in the battle of hoth. Maybe they are delivering military/medical supplies or picking up soldiers, w/e the reason they find themselves in the heat of the battle and must escape with the rest of the base personel. Its a great way for them to enjoy some canon actions and feel like they are really in the starwars story. |

I really enjoy running in the Socorro System. The campaign book is awesome and throw in a major smuggling group like the Black Bha'lir and you can pretty much do anything you like with the campaign. |

Endor! Bloodthirsty ewoks, greedy transplanted Alderaanian nobles, indolent New Republic overlords, and smugglers and pirates running contraband to ewok cargo cults.
I also like Bespin/Cloud City a lot as a base for adventures. _________________ "A special effect without a story is a pretty boring thing"- George Lucas |
