Official WEG Adventures (Possible Spoilers)

Favorite adventures have discussed on the forum quite extrensivly. Any official WEG adventures that just made you go - huh? For example, some groups have issues when the PC's run into the stars of the movies, others don't. (I know that there's one you run into Leia.) Or the premise to some of the plots....I've seen people that have issues with Graveyards of Alderaan and Scavenger Hunt. So any parts that rubbed you the wrong way?

Not for me. I take what I want from them, and the sourcebooks, and the Galaxy Guides, and all the rest of it, and discard the rest. It is all reference/resource material for us since we run an "infinities" campaign.

I rarely ever run a prewritten adventure, and when I do it is rarely ever "as written". I tend to use the adventures more as source material and reference. I prefer to custom tailor things to my individual players and such. I have movie characters pop up from time to time, as well as movie sets and locations. On occasion I have even run the players through adventures depicting or relating to events from the movies. That really helps give the star wars game it's feel in my opinion.

Though, I do dislike some adventures that start be depriving the players of something valuable, with no hope of ever replacing it (for example, Planet of Mists). This serves only to hurt the trust between GMs and players.

I agree with KageRyu. If you go around taking valuable things from the players, even sporadically, just because the adventure says to, it will hurt the experience.

Now, if you have to take some stuff away because the knuckleheads couldn't get past their squabbling to work together, then hook 'em up! They need the reality check.

Chello!

The Otherspace series just felt wrong to me....not sure what exactly it was, but it bugged me.

DarkStryder did at first....it felt too much like Voyager, but it worked out OK! Wink

I've got most of the published adventures now, and I can say without a doubt that they are some of the worst ones I've seen for any RPG. With the wealth of info out there about the SW universe, all these writers could come up with was totally insane craziness like visiting a chunk of the planet Alderaan and going on a scavenger hunt that includes finding a piece of Darth Vader's "extra" suit. OMG just reading that one almost gave me an annurism it was so horrible. On the flip side, the booklet called "Instant Adventures" had some of the best game ideas I've ever seen in any SW RPG book. I've run three different groups through the one called "heavy Lifting" and it's turned out to be hillarious and exciting every time, though each group went about it slightly differently.

I can also say that the stuff being published by WoTC now for D20 SW is pretty darn good. I've started downloading everything they have and converting it all to D6. I suggest anyone looking for some cool stuff to do in their game check it out.

I had chills when I read one from the Instant adventures Lords of the expanse. It felt a lot like Event Horizon. And I will admit that event horizon was one of the only movies that "got to me" in a spooky way.

At one time I had the Lords of The Expanse boxed set, as well as the Character's Guide to Tapani Sector and Tapani Instant Adventures. Those were by far my favorite sourcebooks for d6 Star Wars.
