I Have 6 PCs, Adjustments Needed?

By Valketh, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire Beginner Game

I finally bought the game a few days ago hoping to get a couple people to play, or find a game to join. I have 6 that want to play! At best I thought I would get 3. :o :D

Do I need to make any adjustments in the adventure? Like number of enemys, add a gun to the ship, etc, etc.

We played last week with five PCs, and having had a look through the adventure book since then I don't think our GM made any changes. If you're playing with six then you could upgrade the Gamorrean squad by one or two and maybe add a stormtrooper sergeant to the six you encounter. You don't need to add any TIE fighters as they attack in two units and the Krayt Fang has only two gun turrets. Hope this helps.

I will add 1 Gamorrean, and play it by ear, its the first encounter.

Thanks

I believe the guide says to add a guard PER player character.

Since there are four roles when piloting the ship, what did you have the other two players do?

When I ran it with 5, I had the extra player do engineering tasks.

More than enough space on the ship to have people trying to fix her up. :)

I just ran a group of 5 gamorreans against my 5 PCs, and it went fine. Once the tide turns towards one side or the other, there were sufficient forces in the scene that it wrapped up quickly, and I'm glad it went in the PC's favor. It seemed have the potential to get pretty hairy - such as if the tide had turned toward the gamorreans' favor.
