I’m hacking Monster of the Week for Star Wars to run it as… Bounty of the Week ! You’ll play bad-sheb bounty hunters who hunt the terrors of the galaxy for fun and profit.
Major Tweaks:
- removing Big Magic move from Basic Moves
- changing Use Magic to Use the Force, removing several options (bar a place or portal, trap a person, minion, or monster, banish a spirit or curse, summon a monster)
- offering limited set of playbooks, all flavored to be no-magic Star Wars folks:
- The Crooked
- The Expert
- The Initiate
- The Mundane
- The Professional
- The Spooky
- The Wronged
- The Hard Case
This game is part of the ongoing Star Wars Saturdays series. The time setting is Episode VI of the Star Wars movie series (that’s Return of the Jedi) when the Empire was in control, Jedi were few and hunted, and the rebellion was growing in fits and starts.
Characters and settings created in this miniseries will exist in the SWS canon for future miniseries.
We will be using the X-Card as well as Roses and Thorns after each session.
