Best Adventures

[mserabian]

Hey Guys

I'm going to be starting up a Star Wars campaign. I'll be using the 1st edition d6 rules and I'm wondering what people remember as the best 1st edition adventures - and what were the worst! I've got an opportunity to buy some up and I like to use pre-made adventures. I've got Tatooine Manhunt and this one seems quite fun. I love the intro script and nice color map. Any other you can reccoment?

Thanks
Mal

I only started playing around 1994-1995 with 2nd Edition. Sorry

My friend has a lot of adventures and he says they are all good it makes it a lot easier but you still have to know your players so you can plan the unexpected.

Well, it's not exactly an adventure, but the first Planets of the Galaxy was a great help. Also the Introductory Adventure box set is also very good as it it mostly 1st edition like. I recommend Black Ice, Tatooine Manhunt (which you have), Starfall, Isis Coordinates, and Scavanger Hunt. I've had fun with these and used them to springboard into other games. I also recommend Galaxy Guide 7: Mos Eisley if you want to expand Tatooine Manhunt. I also have played Mission to Liana, Graveyard of Alderaan, and Abduction of Crying Dawn Singer. They were okay but the GM wasn't that good. I think that with a different GM they would be a lot beter. Anything else?

Tatooine Manhunt is one the better ones from the old modules. I personally like Graveyard of Alderaan and Battle for Golden Sun. Starfall is a good one if you want the pcs to start off trapped.

I *highly* recommend "Strikeforce: Shantipole" I had alot of fun running that one with my players and they had a blast.

I also recommend "Domain of Evil". The difficulty is a bit high but it was written with experienced characters in mind. As written, a few parts are a little cheesy but I re-worked some encounters and it came off beautifully.

Both are A+ adventures!

I very much enjoyed Battle for the Golden Sun. It's different because it involves underwater sequences.


***SPOILER: IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED THE MODULE AND MIGHT, DO NOT READ FURTHER!!!***

And it's the cheater way to make your character Force Sensitive without having to pay the CPs to do so! Regardless of whether you start out as such or not, you're going to end up with it when you're done. And if you just HAPPEN to be playing a Jedi template of any kind, you're likely to get even better bonuses! I don't remember all the details for Jedi because I ran through this module with a Brash Pilot. However, he ended up the module with 1D in Sense, which opened the door for Force training down the road.

I enjoyed running all the moduels and found it let me take a break from brainstorming and even opened a few other story plots for later.

I've never used a module when running an adventure. I've read through them for ideas and such, but every game I've ever run has been mostly on the fly. I'll get a few details written up that I simply must have and then WOOOSH!

I also believe writing basic guidelines/skeleton for an adventure is much better than a complete adventure which has players have to do this else this don't happen. But to start I always suggest in a new game system first play/GM(DM) soem pre-set adventures to get the feel for writing and running adventures in the game system.

Tatooine Manhunt and Starfall are by far my two favorites. I really did not like the Otherspace modules. My biggest problem is my players never wanted to play "Rebels". They didn't mind being involved here and there, but they always wanted to be on the sidelines, profiting from the war, not participating in it. So most of the modules I had to adapt for this and couldn't use as written.

Because of that, the Galaxy Guides were really good, especially Guide 6 "Tramp Freighters" and guide 8 "Scouts". Both highly invaluable for creating campaigns that suited my players.

Best adventure module? BLACK ICE !

Remember how in the rulebooks, WEG said you should try to introduce plot twists once or twice in the course of an adventure? Black Ice is chock full of plot twists. Even the introductory script has a little surprise popping up at the very end of the read-through.

Another nice feature of this story is its huge scale, perfectly in keeping with the spririt of Star Wars. For one thing, the PCs spend some time aboard a massive ship, several times larger than a Star Destroyer. The ending is also particularly nice because the PCs get to partake in a mass battle, where the Rebel base is attacked ... sort of like on Hoth.

The only ingredient missing is anything to do with the Force, but that's OK ... not every Star Wars story needs the Force.

I have fond memories of running this one ... I especially loved the look on my players' faces at several key points. Priceless!
