STAR WARS FREE TO PLAY SUCKS SERIES

While this works nominally well if todayвЂ™s setting is one that casual fans are familiar with, when the GM dumps you on Garflagle, and expects вЂњYouвЂ™re on GarflagleвЂќ to not only suffice for description, but for you to immediately understand what that means about your current goals, because it was the setting of the third series of Jedi:Rebuked novels*, then sighs and rolls their eyes like thereвЂ™s something wrong with you because you donвЂ™t know about the secret catacombs beneath the city that their entire adventure revolved around,Г‚В thereвЂ™s a problem. When the rest of the group is finally worn down enough to give in and play under Das Ubergeek, the games usually end up featuring a GMPC who is clearly the real spotlight of the game, and relying on the sheer impressiveness of being in the setting itself for most of itвЂ™s impact on the players.

Because they lust for their Star Wars fix more than anyone else in your group, and because no one less obsessed would be able to deliver a game without it being torn to shreds by them, Star Wars is a subject dodged as if the rest of the group had rings of protection +5. The sad part is, thatГ‚В when theyвЂ™re present, itвЂ™sГ‚В this uncomfortable minority that usually ends up GMing the game. Not content with being intimately familiar with the setting, characters, and details, they assume your lack of your familiarityГ‚В with them is some sort of character failure on your part that must be corrected, balk at breaches to cannon, and get overt thrills simply from their characters being near a touchstone of the series (which isnвЂ™t necessarily one that casual fans would even recognize). ThereвЂ™s the 80% of players who have seen some or all of the movies, know who the big names are, understand some of the bigger themes and plots, or have heard about the setting, acknowledge thatГ‚В itвЂ™sГ‚В pretty awesome and want to play in it.Г‚В Then thereвЂ™s the 20% that ruin it for everyone. The problem, as I see it, is thereвЂ™sГ‚В two types of players in any Star Wars game. I canвЂ™t stand playing inГ‚В a Star Wars RPG.
