The Sabacc Table: Episode 3

By TacticalBastrd, in X-Wing

This week on The Sabacc Table!

What roles would you want to play in the Star Wars universe? This week we take a look at the new Edge of the Empire roleplaying game from Fantasy Flight Games. We cover the "obligation" system, explain the unique dice mechanics, and go over the basic careers and specializations. We also talk about the new Angry Birds announcement, the upcoming Star Wars: The Old Republic update, and more!

What roles would you want to play in the Star Wars universe?

Stormtrooper, Stormtrooper Sargeant, Stormtrooper Officer, Imperial Officer, Imperial Gunner, TIE Pilot.

This is the Podcast that got me to expand my gaming. Thanks guys!

Great podcast.
I used to play SWTOR. If you did a PVP server, and did east coast, I have toons on Prophecy of the FIve and I'd come back to play if you built a guild on that.

Another great episode, will definitely be returning to it again to listen more closely to the RPG dice explanation. Have you found in any of your playtesting that the dice have wildly shifted the game more than in a normal RPG? With destiny, rather than just a pass/fail test is it harder for the GM to run the game?

Is there any X-Wing Miniatures content?

I have listened to all three episodes so far and have enjoyed the show and recomended it to friends. I really tried to listen to the entire RPG discussion on Ep#3. I’ve never played and RPG, so you guys lost me towards the end. Sorry. I’m still looking forward to the next few podcasts.

For the record: How did you swindle a “Gunner” card from the underprivileged family at a tournament? Depriving those poor kids…. The humanity!… (lol)

RealGenius, they discuss the stock situation but not with a lot of details from FFG or anything. This was a more RPG focused episode but still really enjoyable.

That said, Tactical, I would love for you to get some FFG folks on to talk about the game. Anything from the design, gameplay, scale discussion to availability would be great topics.

Yeah this is an episode mainly about the RPG. We do plan on having folks from FFG on the show soon. Schedules can be a real pain in the ass sometimes. :D

And as far as the Gunner card goes. No one in the family was using it, and they heard me talking to the Judge about it and offered it up. Its not like I stole it from them.

Tactical, thanks for another great episode! Your coverage of the dice helped me figure a few things out. May definitely have to pick this up when the budget allows.

Is there any X-Wing Miniatures content?

Episode 2 delved a bit into miniatures.

Yeah this is an episode mainly about the RPG. We do plan on having folks from FFG on the show soon. Schedules can be a real pain in the ass sometimes. :D

And as far as the Gunner card goes. No one in the family was using it, and they heard me talking to the Judge about it and offered it up. Its not like I stole it from them.

Just busting your chops. Keep up the great work with the show!
