NON-ROLEPLAYING BOOKS I FOUND USEFUL WHILE GAMING (not pictured)
RESUME STAR WARS LICENSE
Sadly, WEG lost the Star Wars license to Wizards of the Coast around the release of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.īelow you’ll find all my Star Wars RPG books. Anderson, Barbara Hambly, and Kathy Tyers.
In 1994 WEG took to publishing its own original fiction in their quarterly Star Wars Adventure Journal, featuring stories from authors like Timothy Zahn, Michael A. How’s that for an endorsement! Once Star Wars popularity began to rise again in 1991, WEG was well-positioned to take advantage of the resurgence. Lucasfilm considered their sourcebooks so authoritative that when Timothy Zahn was hired to write what became the Thrawn trilogy, he was sent a box of WEG Star Wars books and directed to base his novel on the background material presented within. In fact, it’s widely accepted that WEG established much of the groundwork of what later became the Star Wars Expanded Universe. Not only did the game contain a decent rules system, the books were chock-full of new Star Wars ideas and information. However, people began to take notice once the system was awarded the “Origins Award” for Best Roleplaying Rules of 1987.
By 1987 Star Wars was positively old news, so the WEG game didn’t really make a big splash. After Return of the Jedi in 1983, Star Wars fanaticism began to cool off. The West End Games (WEG) system was released in 1987 during Star Wars‘ wilderness years.
RESUME STAR WARS FULL
I’ve been a part of a few other Star Wars RPG groups since then, each of them full of great players and classic moments. Serv, Bob, Ed, Pat, and I had a blast with that group and we continue to stay in touch through THE UNIQUE GEEK. Little did we know, but that group would be the catalyst that would lead Serv and me to become college roommates and life-long friends.
Serv and I didn’t really know each other that well at the time, we just both happened to share an interest in Star Wars and RPGs. Please leave any comments there.Ĭoncluding my Star Wars Resume! In 1992 a former classmate named Serv and I assembled a group of folks to try the West End Games Star Wars Roleplaying Game. Originally published at Once Upon a Geek.
