Star Wars: Dawn of Rebellion — Episode 11

The rebels journey to the ruins of Fort Tuscan. Here they meet a man named Quist who claims to be an old friend of Adar Tallon seeking to warn him of the Imperial threat.

A herd of stampeding banthas causes the heroes, joined by Quist, to jump in their speeders and flee. The rebels realize the stampede was a distraction and three bounty hunters are on their tail. Doubling back to a ridge they begin a long-range sniper battle.

After surviving a bloody conflict, the heroes journey to a local farmstead where they find Adar Tallon! He and his wife greet their old friend Quist. One of the rebels notices Quist activating a homing beacon. Suspecting Quist of treachery, they summon their ship the Tyrannus. Before it arrives,  a Stormtrooper transport appears led by Jodo Kast, the foe behind the search for Adar! After a furious battle, the rebels emerge victorious. The Tyranus arrives with Tie Fighters in hot pursuit. Can the heroes escape Tatooine and evade the orbiting Star Destroyer? …

Star Wars: Dawn of Rebellion — Episode 10

The rebels continue to investigate the Tatooine wastes, desperately trying to find war hero Adar Tallon before the Imperial bounty hunters. The heroes follow the trail of Tuscan Raiders to their camp. Bearing the body of one the dead bounty hunters, the heroes are able to parlay their way out of a battle.

It’s a good thing too — the sand people had set a trap with numerous raiders hiding below the sand! Instead of blaster fire, the confrontation ends in peace.

Following a tip from the sand people, the rebels journey to ruins in the desert where they encounter a Dim-U priest and his acolytes. Around the night campfire, the monastics reveal they have heard of Adar Tallon and have leads to his whereabouts.

Suddenly, a herd of womp rats invade the camp. The heroes quickly realize it is a diversion — the bounty hunter IG-72, murderer of several locals in pursuit of Adar Tallon, is bearing down upon them!

A furious battle ensues, and IG-72 soon finds himself defeated — and disassembled — by the victorious rebels! …

Modiphius Star Trek Adventures Will Be a Closed Playtest

sta-tng-1_origSteveHanson from Modiphius posted on the Modiphius Star Trek forum:

There will be a play test once we put rules to paper. Right now we’re concerned with what does everyone want. The play test will be conducted like all of our play tests, pdf made available to those in the program. These are not open play tests but only for those who are approved. Each version or two there will be a survey. Source

All of which is to say, I hope we get in on the Star Trek Adventure beta, but it’s a closed playtest, so participation isn’t guaranteed.

Star Trek Adventures Playtest Update: Closed Beta Testing

sta-tos-2_1_origSo, looks like the upcoming Star Trek playtest will be closed, not open, so even if you’re signed up, there’s no guarantee you’ll be in the playtest. So I’m keeping my fingers crossed! Supposedly surveys will go out around two weeks after GenCon, and the playtest will start sometime in Sept., with all dates subject to change. Here’s what Modiphius said on their forums:

Traveller: Overcoming Combat Armor Near-Invincibility

I posted over on the Traveller forums regarding how best to deal with Combat Armor. Feedback was that best attack against Combat Armor is to use Gauss rifles or Heavy ACRs with AP ammo. Gauss rifle is already AP5, and with AP ammo that becomes AP9, heavy ACRs are not quite as good but cheaper.

In our case though, Laser weapons are made for boarding actions, low recoil and not too destructive to the ship. So our best bet on a ship like we were on would be Laser Rifles instead of Laser Carbines.
