Pregenerated Characters?

By Albertorius, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire Beta

Hi, everyone

I've just received the beta book (bought at GenCon by a friend), and somehow I've been stringed to run the Crates of Krayts adventure tomorrow for a group of friends that only will be over here tomorrow. So, I have to 1) Learn how to play today and 2) Make or find some pregen characters, to play as much as possible. Have FFG released somewhere a cast of pregenerated characters? (I suppose they had some for the demos at GenCon, but don't know if they have released that or not)

If not…. help, please? sad.gif

I'm looking for characters more or less suitable for the adventure of the book, which apparently means some kind of smuggling crew, something similar to the Serenity's crew from Firefly . Some (very general) ideas I have are:


- A smuggler, captain of the ship
- First mate
- Techhead
- Force user in disguise (maybe an old padawan youngling, survivor of the purges and on the run since, with very little real training)
- Farmer turned to crime to help their hometown
- Hired muscle
- Grizzled veteran, some kind of "father figure" for the ret of the crew, at least in her mind.
- Oh, of course! some kind of droid would be very nice, too. I kinda like droids XD

As you can see, just very general archetypes. Full body images for the character sheet for the players would be nice, too.

So, if anyone with a better grasp of the rules can help me, it would be greatly appreciated.

AFAIK, FFG has not released any pre-gen characters. I would like to see them also. I believe there is a thread in the forums for user to share the characters they have generated.

The demos are GenCon did have pre-gen characters but were either an adventure written by Sam for the con or were free form adventures. My demo was with the pre-gen charactrers and we played through the first part of the "Crates of Krayts" adventure. After my demo I asked if the characters and the GenCon adventure would be available here but both Sam and Jay wouldn't say.

Thanks! I'll go check :)

I am writing to try to re-create some movie icon character in under the general section.

Nice. Thanks!

They may not be exactly what you're looking for, but the GSA has a couple of characters up in their Heroes on Demand section, one that I did and one that Donovan Morningfire did. If nothing else, they might serve as some inspiration for you. I may also sit down tonight and play around with some of those ideas tonight if I have some free time.

You're quite welcome. happy.gif

I would like to see some pregens as well. I was hoping to run a one shot this coming weekend for my gaming group but am not looking forward to making all the characters myself ahead of time.

I created five for a module I'm writing. I'll get them posted up for you in the next day or so.
