Heresy

By fjw70, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

As both a Star Trek and Star Wars fan I have been considering putting Klingons on the edge of the Star Wars galaxy. Maybe this is a group of Klingons that went through a worm hole into a new galaxy and established New Qo'nos.

Anyone other sci-fi heretics out there?

Careful we don't get followers of the Gawd-Emprah or space elves, or Kzinnti. That would be exciting, but not really Star Wars. Have fun in your game though.

Well, for May the fourth this year I put together a D&D adventure for the 2nd edition group I run at our local game store that took place on the death star. The story I built weaved the players in and out of the Death Star scenes from A New Hope. I had them running into Obiwan then Luke, Han and Chewie in the elevator and later meeting R2 and Threepio. All while trying to find a way out while fighting storm troopers, a sith trainer with some trainees and rescue a jedi that had been captured and was being held on the station.

At the end of the adventure just after saving the jedi and retrieving his holocrons and sending him on his way, the group was stuck in a hangar bay with Storm Troopers breaking in when a blue police box appeared out of thin air and a guy popped his head out and asked them if they needed a lift home, which they gladly accepted.

It was a light hearted, fun adventure that mixed D&D, Star Wars and a bit of Dr. Who. So yeah... Guess I am guilty of mixing things up.

X from Megaman X and characters from Chrono Trigger/Cross is enough Heresy for you? XD

As I use to say "why not?". If it likes you and, personally, doesn't brake the world essence, just add it!

Have fun :D

Yes. In my last Star Wars campaign (that was definitely non-canon) had an area of space called the League of Non-aligned Worlds. The characters got into a fist fight with a bunch of thugs that included a Drazi. (Both from Babylon 5) Various other B5 aliens were briefy described as parts of street and cantina crowds. The Tionese were the Centari. The Iotrans were Space Dwarves. A race from the Rim called Balosians were Space Elves. Several adventures involved aliens from Otherspace that were Tyranids. One adventure involved investigating several disappearances of colonists that ended being caused by Deep Ones (Call of Cthulhu) who were native to the world and trying to keep an ancient being satisfied and asleep so it wouldn't destroy them. There were Deathtrooper zombies and an adventure based on a Dr Who episode called State of Decay had vampires. Blue Sun (Firefly) was a galactic corporation.

How to take out a death star:

Bring a tribble on board and then leave the station. Wait.

I might consider I Hersey if I knew what Megaman X was. :)

Was a famous videogames saga from the 90's. Biometal robots with advanced IA's. A platform/action/rpg games saga.

A really nice one :D

How about character creation stats for Spartans (ala HALO)?

NPC stats for Covenant forces? Yautja(predator) Aliens?

Something else I have thought about is putting Earth in the unknown regions of the galaxy (maybe during prehistoric times), but that would violate the galaxy far far away thing.

That and the fact that the Milky Way is a barred spiral and the Star Wars galaxy isnt.

And this was your learning minute for today :)

Yep, that would have stopped me from doing this. The last thing I worry about in Star Wars is science. :)

Mashups can make for interesting one offs, but campaigns of them just seem to lack imagination.

"I like D&D. I like Xenomorphs. I gots an idea... let's put them together. That'll be cool. huyuh huh huh"

Aliens (Xenomorphs) in D&D

Star Trek in Star Wars (or vice versa)

etc...

Some day, I'm going to do a non-canon crossover where Star Wars, Mass Effect, Starcraft, 40k, and probably a few other awesome sci-fi worlds all collide.
