If you're new to the Star Wars roleplaying game, this page will help you get ready to play in a couple of minutes.
You'll be playing a character - a person who lives in the Star Wars universe. While playing, you pretend to be that character.
There is no board to move tokens around on. Instead, there will be a gamemaster. The gamemaster acts as storyteller and referee, describing each scene to you and other players. Now, imagine how your character would react to the situation. Then, tell the gamemaster what your character is going to do.
When you describe what your character does, the gamemaster will tell you when to roll dice, and tell you what happens as a result of how well (or poorly) you roll.
In a way, you, the other players, and the gamemaster are creating your own Star Wars movie with your characters as the stars!
Winning. There are no winners and losers. Having fun is what counts. Cooperate. If the characters are to stand and chance of succeeding in their adventures, you and the other players have to work together. Be True to the Movies. Remember, you're playing Star Wars! Be heroes. Use snappy one-liners. And above all else, have fun! Use Your Imagination. Your character can do whatever you can imagine someone in that situation doing. If you can imagine it in the real world (or Star Wars universe), it can happen in the game! Keep Things Moving. Don't worry about the rules. Simply tell the gamemaster what you want your character to do, and the gamemaster tell you what to roll and when. Getting Started. You'll need some six-sided ("normal") dice. You also might want some paper to write up your character on (or just type it on your computer) and take notes on. Now you can go make your Star Wars Character and get ready to play The Star Wars Roleplaying Game!
