Shadow Over Tarkintown

A Star Wars Rebels Beginner Game

The Spark of Rebellion has been ignited on the planet Lothal. The Empire is taking the threat seriously, and has sent Darth Vader to deal with the insurgents directly. As the Sith Lord attempts to lure the Rebels out of hiding, he orders the refugee camp known as Tarkintown to be destroyed. But the Rebels he is seeking are not the only ones on this planet who have seen the travesties caused by the oppressive rule of the Imperials. Others have been inspired by the actions of the crew of the Ghost. They know the Empire is looking to set an example, and they’re ready to fight back.

Shadow Over Tarkintown is an adventure created in the mode of the official “beginner adventure” boxed sets. Included in this release is:

  • A full adventure module that has the PCs opposing the Empire as they close in on Tarkintown with the intent of destroying the town.
  • Five original pre-made player characters, complete with original artwork, pre-generated stats and skills, and a background story explaining how the group has come together to oppose the Empire.
  • New equipment, NPCs, and vehicles that can be introduced into an existing campaign or adventure.
  • Several original professional quality maps of Tarkintown and some of its key landmarks created by Peter "Maveritchell" Thompson.
  • Digital “token” images for the PCs and NPCs for easy use in online games or for printing out and using as part of a live tabletop session.

Oh helllllll no! ;)

I'm going b use this adventure to introduce my gf's kids to role-playing. They love rebels

Not having much luck running this - flaky players cancelling last minute have pushed our planned oneshot date back into at least July and more likely August.

On a better note, I might have missed it somewhere, but is there a map of a larger area of the planet, showing the relative locations of the described areas in the starter adventure and sourcebook?

thanks

Unfortunately, no. I've found NuCanon to be pretty flaky when it comes down to nailing many of the finer details of things. I think they're all so terrified of contradicting something they don't specify anything :) e.g. Lothal is simply "in the outer rim territories" and there are no planet maps for it that I'm aware of.

OK thanks - I'll make something up then. :)

Weird request but do you have a download link not on the rpg site? I cannot get access to that site with my work blocking 'gaming' sites. Not sure I how I am able to get on this one lol
