GF Stellar Conflicts (Star Wars)

It's there a good guys list done yet?

I always like when games include designers notes, so I've written some for GF Stellar Conflicts.

These lists are influenced by the Star Wars D6 RPG and miniatures rules made by West End Games in the 1990s.  I'm purposely staying away from using any ideas from the Legion and Imperial Assault games.

I've used generic names, but I've kept the words blaster and droid.  The words "blaster" and "droid" have been in use for many years.  In published books, "blaster" was first used in 1925 (in When the Green Star Waned by Nictzin Dayalhis), and "droid" was first used in 1952 (in Robots of the World! Unite! by Mari Wolf). 

Some of my terms might need an explanation:

-Mawgs are big furry creatures (a tribute to the movie Spaceballs). I gave the Mawg Laser Crossbow the trait Blast(3) because I liked what happened when the Mawg's sidekick borrowed the weapon and blasted a bunch of bad guys at the same time.
-Murder Bears are short furry creatures who live in treehouses and use primitive weapons like spears, bows, and gliders that drop rocks onto Storm Troops.
-Concordians are warriors who wear full armor and have a tradition of combat...hint, hint.
-Rex is a huge reptilian beast that stands on 2 legs, with big claws and sharp pointy teeth. One of them was kept in a basement inside a crime lord's palace.
-The Baby Dragon lives in a cave and has a special pearl inside its body.
-Dire Rats are not much bigger than two meters.
-Junkers are short, have yellow glowing eyes, and wear robes.
-Desert Nomads live in huts in the desert wastes, and ride huge hairy pack animals called B'thas.

I did not make a separate line for each race of humanoid.  They've all got the same stats.  If you want something special, just make it up.

I did not include any rules for the Tow Cable since it is used against very large walkers that are not in my list.

Giving Freedom Fighters access to Sniper Blaster Rifles reflects the idea that the more combative civilians will probably own a hunting rifle (a hunting Blaster Rifle with a scope is a Sniper Blaster Rifle).

Ion weapons can stun any model (including living beings).  Blasters can be set to stun against living beings.  I wanted to give models the chance to revive themselves, hence the quality test at the time of potential activation any turn they start as stunned.

Grenades are a work in progress.

I kept the lists simple because I want to test them out before adding anything else.

Enjoy.

 

So, I need to playtest this, but my initial read through makes me very happy. I purchased many of the Legion figures, and I figured if those rules stink, I'd do something like you have done here. So, excellent.

One question though - for the Alliance, in the Legion core set there is an AT-RT mini, but I don't see anything resembling an "Rebel Light Walker". Did I miss it? If not, presumably you will add it after playtesting, but I would advocate for its inclusion sooner rather than later, if only due to model availability (basically, everyone who bought a legion box set has one).

Overall, though, very excited.

Where are the Jedi and Sith? It ain't a stellar conflict without space wizards

This is great! I was afraid adding force powers would unbalance the game, so I didn't even try. Thank you for adding this. I hope more additions are coming in the future. I'm currently basing some of my Star Wars figures so I can post some battle reports.

This looks awesome!

I know you didn't design this with with Legion minis in mind, but could Legion minis work with this game? The West End minis are a little bit before my time, and while I've looked into getting some of the older minis in the recent past, I haven't had a lot of luck finding any that were in good condition and/or particularly affordable lol.

sounds great!
i might try to kame up some CW era unit stats if i have time. 
if i manage to make something noteworthy, I'll post it here. if that´s fine.
