Running a Clone Wars campaign

By Tyberius_Deangelo, in Star Wars: Force and Destiny RPG

Has anyone tried running a Clone Wars era campaign using FFG's Star Wars books? I am interested to hear if it is even possible, which I am guessing it could be with modifications. Thanks!

The Clone Wars were only a couple decades prior to when the books are set by default.

There are extensive conversations on this forum on how you can run Old Republic campaigns using this system... 1000s of years before the books "normal" setting with just a few adjustments.

So yea, it's "possible".

Just entitle your campaign; Force & Destiny - the Clone Wars.

I ran a clone wars mini-campaign a long while back.

You have to make your own stats or really dig across the books to find em, but otherwise totally viable.

Challenge is just reconciling a starting XP level. I think official Knight Level is fine myself, but not all will agree.

Yeah several adventures have the battle droids, commando droids, Droideka, some of the ships. But you are missing a bunch that you need to stat out.

Let's see...Off the top of my head...

B1: EotE core

Commando droid, Destroyer: Gatekeeper

AT-TE, LAAT, droid repeating blaster, clone minigun: FiB

E-5: SoT

Aethersprite: FaD Core

Consular cruiser: AoR core

Munificent: LbE

Probably forgetting a few things...

Some stuff won't change any. Blaster rifles, grenades, armor... None of it changes really....

There's other details that can just convert 1:1 with a name change or slight tweak. Clonetroopers and Stormtroopers are essentially the same. The 2-seater Y-wing can swap ion cannons for light lasers and be done. A Z-95 is still a Z-95.

Likewise there's probably a few "close enoughs" a Victory II and a Venator probably aren't different enough for the players to notice if you just use the Victory stats unless the game centers around it.

So that leaves a few things, but not a whole lot. The only trick I can foresee is just to keep the vehicle numbers in mind. Stuff like Starfighters seem a little more likely to sport blaster cannons and light lasers instead of medium laser cannons... Otherwise shouldn't be too hard....

I wrote up a one shot adventure set during the battle of Kashyyyk and Order 66. Designed a PC Clone Trooper with regular Human stats. The various existing Stormtrooper stat blocks stood in for other clones. I had to stat out B2 droids and a LAAT myself (didn't have Forged In Battle). The IG-1000 Magna Guard already exists.

All in all, it was very easy to do with a minor amount of work to add or fit in to the Clone Wars timeline.

Thank you for your replies. I appreciate it.

Keeping the peace has a couple things i am sure. Stay on target has.vwings and a couple other ships i think.

Eta class shuttle and podracers are in endless vigil.

Zygarrian slaver stuff is in Friends like these as well as the Aurora class frieghter.
