10 Tabletop Gaming Tips Taken From Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Veröffentlicht am 30.12.2015
Though not without its faults, I found Star Wars: The Force Awakens to be an incredibly enjoyable movie going experience.
Once again we find ourselves in a galaxy far, far away with remarkable characters, both new and old, edge-of-your-seat action
ranging from fire fights to full spacefighter battles, and a compelling space opera story with many parallels to the New Hope before it.
Within this fantastic tale we are also able to draw out a good number of design, character and story elements
that are directly transferable to our tabletop gaming experience.

In this video I’ve put together a list of ten tips for tabletop gaming that we can learn from examples in the movie.
From always beginning with a brief summary, to creating complex villains and crafting a lived-in world,
the Force Awakens has a lot to offer us. As the warning says before the video gets underway:

SPOILERS AHEAD!

What connections or inspirations did you get for tabletop gaming after watching the movie?
Any stirring to immediately jet home and get out the roleplaying gear to return to the Star Wars universe?
Please leave your thoughts in the video comments below! Happy gaming and may the force be with you!

Creating Awesome Battles - (feat. Star Wars: Rebels)

My wife and I just got finished watching episode 13 of season three of Star Wars Rebels,
highly recommend this show by the way, and that entire episode I found, as I do with much of the series,
some really awesome aspects that can be included in our tabletop games.

There was a great setting for a fight, important roles for everyone in the crew to do during the battle,
a serious threat and tension, really just highly entertaining and engaging overall.

Additionally, this episode also include a great example of a moral quandry that you could have your characters face.
Not one that splits the party or derails the plot but one that brings out your character's true feelings and personality further.
