Strongholds of Resistance is on the boat

By kaosoe, in Star Wars: Age of Rebellion RPG

Hey, Shattered. I backed that, in fact I'm the guy that created the Florvana.

Well, you've got my approval. They look like an interesting species, and I'm hoping one of my players chooses them.

Still waiting by the mailbox for mine. Soon, though. Very soon. I can't wait to see what the final cut looks like, and all the art for places I described. Plus, you know, I'm really curious to read the sections I didn't work on. The UPS truck can't get here soon enough. I was walking the dog today, and saw the truck out there, and stalked the driver a little bit. I didnt' want to be too far away from my front door if he had my book! Sadly, it was a false alarm today, but am filled with hope for tomorrow. Or the next day. Or next week some time. UGH.

I'm just waiting for the e-mail from my FLGS saying it's in. Then I'll skip on down (probably literally) and pick it up.

Yeah I called my shop yesterday and they told me it would be in on the 10th.

Thanks CaptainRaspberry, they were supposed to have an affinity to wardens of light but it didn't work out with the rule set.

Here's my original design sketch, if I can figure out how to do this correctly.

Chronicles of the Gatekeeper released last week, Strongholds of Resistance should be out this week, and Mask of the Pirate Queen will release next week (it just went to shipping now status on the Upcoming page). When is the last time we had Star Wars RPG releases in three consecutive weeks? What are the odds we get Keeping the Peace the following week to do four in a row?

Anyone know what the usual lag time is for the product to be available in their online store? I've got some store credit with FFG I need to use up...

2 weeks? Give or take, its a very nebulous number depending on how far they are shipping out to stores. I haven't really payed attention before as I haven't ever had to. Gatekeeper will probably be a good measuring stick.

Who wants to bet Mask of the Pirate Queen gets bumped to shipping on the 8th?

Mask of the Pirate Queen Last Updated: 11/8/15. Somebody get the phone! Cause I ******* called it.

In case nobody noticed, you can have this by the end of the week.

Nice Unfortunately due to slight overspending on GOG.com's Fall sale I'll have to wait until next month.

Nice, thanks. I pulled the triggered and ordered it. Price seems reasonable (even with shipping) and it beats the waiting and guessing game with Amazon.

Damnit If I could divide the cost over two cards I could pay it easily but right now no single card I own has enough. I thought one of my cards was getting more then enough to cover the book added to its available credit thanks to delays in the payment I made crediting but it turned out the money available was counting that already..

Glad you enjoyed the Sullust entry! i worked pretty hard on that one.

Also, I see Independence listed as a location? What exactly is the deal with that?

Disclaimer: I totally know what the deal with that is. I just think it's awesome.

What new vehicles and ships are there and what are their silhouettes?

AFB, but there's a Sil 4 stealth freighter, three mon cal ships (an escort, a light cruiser, and the independence). Might be more hidden in there too. Oh, maybe a stealth fighter IIRC.

So has anybody picked it up at their FLGS?

My FLGS isn't expecting to have it until this Friday at best (they just got Chronicles of the Gatekeeper this past Monday), but more likely it'll be next week.

But have to say I'm looking forward to seeing it, as it sounds like there's some really cool material. Might even prove handy for a friend of mine that's a newish GM and running an AoR campaign herself as a possible resource.

The Mon Cal ships do sound fun, I wonder how different Independence is from the Corebook MC80. I've been hoping for some of the Sorosuub capital ships the Rebels used as well and maybe even some Bothan ships since the Essential Guide to Warfare established that they were a major cruiser producer in this era.

Edit: Is the Light Cruiser class the MC40A? I hope it is since that increases the odds of the Neb-B2 appearing some day. Still curious about the Sils of the escort and the light cruiser.

Checked in with my FLGS; said they'll be getting it later this afternoon, which means I'll probably pick mine up tomorrow. Happiness.

Theoretically my book is getting there tonight or tomorrow. Hopefully I'll just waltz in there tomorrow before game and pick it up.

Picked it up, my favorite thing about it is that they have the goose droid from Star Tours in it! Also, we've now got Wampa stats! The new species are pretty cool too.

The Independence has lots more fighters (120) and Armor 10 along with a few other changes. Both of the other Mon Cal ships, one of which is the MC40a, are Sil 6.

Coolstuff is my local game store (even though it's often worth my time to just pay the extra for shipping), but the local comic shop had it on the shelf too.

Cheers "So a Mon Calamari Escort Frigate basically. Nice, What's her model number if you don't mind my asking? I still wish we would get some Alliance Sil 7s though besides the Dreadnaught and the Neutron Star."
