This event is past the point where ticket sales are permitted.From: The tabletop RPG that kept Star Wars alive returns this year In 1987, Star Wars was all but dead; There were no new films or books on the horizon, Kenner had ceased production on its iconic action figures and the whole thing seemed to be just another passing fad.
The only thing keeping the franchise alive was West End Games’ tabletop role-playing game...
Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game’s impact on the franchise can still be felt today; It laid the original groundwork for what became the Star Wars expanded universe. The details included in the RPG and its sourcebook have been referenced in Star Wars novels, comic books, video games, TV shows and feature films released since. When author Timothy Zahn signed on to write the now-celebrated sequel novel Heir to the Empire in 1991, Lucasfilm gave him The Star Wars Sourcebook to study.
The original Star Wars role-playing game differs from systems like Dungeons and Dragons, Pathfinder and even Star Wars’ current RPG. While those games require various multiple-sided dice, Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game is played with more common six-sided dice. Rather than assigning a number of points to their characters’ skills and attributes, players select the number of dice they can roll when using a particular talent.
