Graveyard of Alderaan Revisited

Graveyard of Alderaan Revisited

Not too much change here.

Made it explicit that the lightsabre they are given at the Herd Ship was from the Graveyard. The sabre came with a prophecy: You must choose between two paths. One will lead to you your death. The other will lead to the deaths of your friends.

The remains of the Palace the heroes find are actually the Palace Bomb Shelter / Command Center that was built during the Clone Wars. But all the encounters will be the same.

And Jedi Master Rahm Kota (from the Force Unleashed) will be waiting in the ruins. He figured out what the Death Star was really about and went down to the Command Center. And he's been their ever since the Death Star blew the planet up. He's been slowly fixing the computer that predicts the location of Another Chance (Now one of those Republic Assault Ship from Attack of the Clones).

Vader will have left a squadron of 8 Royal Guards to keep the heroes of yavin on the asteroid. But with Kota the heroes should be able to handle them.

So far the PCs have only deviated on two points

First, they didn't actually board Outpost 11 and interact properly with anyone. Instead they waited outside of sensor range and sent in their Reconnaissance Droid (who is a PC) to sneak into the base through an airlock. He then found the right room and hacked the computer and then snuck out. So the heroes missed all of those encounters (and all the hints that this whole thing is a big trap!)

They also teamed up with the scavenger Belinda Vog and worked out a deal to split any profits they find. Haven't figured out whether Vog will still double cross them as they have saved her and her team's life a few times at this point.

GoA was a key adventure in my current pirate campaign. The PCs basically took the Second Chance for their own use. They compensated the Alliance by turning over the escort frigate that was their prior home, along with most of the weapons and the repulsortanks. They already had plenty of pirate crew NPCs to take over the repair and refitting, and to operate it properly. The main change I made was to make the Another Chance into an Acclamator variant.

I started reading this adventure, but for some reason I cant get past the idea of a whole part of the palace being intact while the entire planet was pulverized in part of a second...

Yeah, I always thought that was a little far-fetched too (even for Star Wars). But in its defense, the planet wasn't completely pulverized. Yes, we saw a big explosion, but there was a giant asteroid field left in the planet's wake. Maybe on the other side of Alderaan (from the side that got hit by the super-laser beam) there were larger chunks of planet that broke off nearly whole. Maybe the palace was built out of adamantium or some such substance to defend it against orbital strikes. Maybe the palace had a Star Wars version of a nuclear bomb shelter that survived.

What I found more unrealistic about the adventure is the stargate technology that allows for instant translocation. That just didn't feel very Star Warsy to me at first consideration.

Personally, I'd say it's alien tech myself.

Sure sure, it -could- be cutting edge, but if you're gonna use it that means the PC's may have the skills to use it. I'd rather they -not- use it, so Alien Tech makes that much simpler (99% likely to -not- have the skills).

the Gree have hyperspace gates, could be a Gree device, if so , good luck operating it. if i am not mistaken, Gree gateways have to have an alignment with the other end, and wont work if there are intervening objects...

What amazed me was that my work around for the Stargate and the Palace surviving were pretty much the EXACT SAME ONES that West End came up with. We even both referenced the molecular armor and anti-concussion fields from the Star's End facility!

I did change the frigate into a Republic Assault Ship (from "Attack of the Clones" to tie in with the prequels better.

The other major deviation the players came up with is that the got so paranoid when going through Vader's psychological torture in the palace that the wookiee PC accidently came round the corner and attacked one of their NPC sidekicks (who was dressed as a stormtrooper cuz that was the only spacesuit they had). The NPC shot back, hit the wookiee and triggered off the berserker rage. One of the PCs lost their arm before that fight was over.

So yes, the worst challenge the PCs faced was subduing their one wookiee and protecting the NPC! After the fight was over they painted the stormtrooper armor grey to prevent this from happening again

And yes, (for reasons I still don't understand) they'd actually declared before leaving the ship, that they were going to take grey paint with them on this mission.

Okay, but how do you stat the good General and was this pre, post or ignore the Force Unleashed for Kota?

Actually someone on this group converted General Kota for me from the SAGA book. Embarrassingly I have forgotten who. [but I am still VERY grateful!]

I think I took a crack at it some time ago. I don't remember what I did with the stats. They've got to be around here in the forums somewhere. I've done a couple of character conversions for TFUCG, but character conversions are the hardest, so I don't do them very often.

Found it!

I think it would be best to look at the context and the caveats I attached to the conversion here:
