I was just really disappointed with this book and it being so sub-par to EotE has made my group just give up on the whole system for about 6 months now. There was a whole specialization added that was a Band-Aid because one couldn't start off being non-military and take a military type spec and actually get military type skills. Also this would have been a good place to have conversion rules for using the X-Wing miniatures game in the RPG but that didn't happen either.

The capital ship combat was a late addition and it still doesn't explain very well how to use them. For a genre that was supposed to be about the Galactic Civil War there were no rules on mass combat (Later put in an adventure). As none of our requests seemed to be put in until later products. Because it's not Star Wars without smugglers, Jedi, and of course wars.This book really gave me the feeling that it was already made before they put out the Beta. I'm fine with the rules being repeated but this book should have had something that makes it useful to those of us (and I'm betting it's really 90% of us) that will buy all three books. It was said that Fantasy Flight wanted each Core book to be a stand alone RPG but then they made them too similar to each other.

Plus the new content in this book seems poorly designed when compared to the Edge of the Empire book. There was just too many repeats from EotE for me to feel that this was a good purchase. Out of the three core books planned for Star Wars this one has been the biggest disappoint (even when the third is still in beta design). Avoid paying the high MSRP if you already have Edge of the Empire to take away the sting of paying for what you already own.Ģ out of 5 rating for Star Wars: Age of Rebellion Core Rulebook For the gamers already with the Star Wars RPG program, it is a little frustrating to shell out money for what amounts to a change in scenery. It has provided my group a great amount of fun. For gamers approaching the Star Wars RPG from Fantasy Flight Games, Age of Rebellion offers much. My unscientific estimate of previously released material found in this book is around 70%. A few classes remain the same, skill trees are too similar or just downright reused, and equipment is largely unchanged. There are large swaths of Age of Rebellion that are the same as Edge of the Empire. The major issue with Age of Rebellion is that it offers too little new material for those who already own Edge of the Empire.
Like Edge of the Empire, Age of Rebellion offers up a great Star Wars experience for players. Overall, it's an exciting, streamlined take on the Star Wars universe, reflecting the swingy, up-and-down nature of the movies' narratives (they escape the cell block, but they end up in the trash compactor Luke throws the bone into the Rancor's mouth, buying him time, but the bone scaps, etc.).Ĥ out of 5 rating for Star Wars: Age of Rebellion Core Rulebook
Characters are class based, and players spend points to build their character. You failed to persuade the guard, but he let slip that the person you're looking for is no longer inside the facility. So you hacked the computer, but you set off an alarm. The game system is heavily narrative-based, with players' attempts to do something (shoot an enemy, hack a computer, persuade a guard, etc.) often resulting in "yes but" or "no but" outcomes triggered by the dice results. In this branch of the game system, the player characters make up a rebel cell or fleet.

Of course i wish they were cheaper, who doesn't? But it is a massive over 400+ page product, so i'm not going to knock off a star.Īge of Rebellion's rulebook, like Edge of the Empire's, is utterly gorgeous, and packed full of inspirational art with that Original Trilogy feel.
The only negative I would mention is the price of there corebooks. I am awaiting their third corebook, Force and Destiny which will focus more on playing Force-using characters. If you plan on playing Age of Rebellion the game does utilize a special unique set of rpg dice, though you can use standard rpg dice and their conversion chart.
The quality of the book and its production values are fantastic just like most of the Fantasy Flight Games products usually are. It focuses on playing characters that are part of the Rebel Alliance fighting the evil Empire. Age of Rebellion is a stand alone product but also expands on the game. It focuses on playing seedy scoundrel-type characters such as smugglers on the fringe of space (which i love). This is the second corebook for the new Star Wars RPG. 5 out of 5 rating for Star Wars: Age of Rebellion Core Rulebook
