The Trials: Star Wars EotE – Episode 1 : The Opening Crawl

Hello and welcome to The Trials. This is where we test out new game systems so you don't have to. I am Michael and this is  the Trial of Star Wars: Edge of the Empire  The Campaigns: Star Wars Edge of the Empire episode 1 - The Opening Crawl This is the first of what I think will be 6 episodes of our first two play test-drive sessions. We had a volunteer DM (Brad Plogsted @BradPlogsted ) that I met through a local meet up site. He agreed to run a test game for us to try out the system.  For that reason these first few episodes will be edited a bit differently that my normal ones. Since it's  a play test I leave in a lot of the stuff I would normally could cut (like us looking up rules, or asking rules questions).  We liked the system and the game so much we are now playing an on-going campaign but after the first 2 sessions, we switched to characters we made ourselves (but we kept going on the same story)   In this first episode Travis, Nick and I are the players. From the beginning to minute 36 or so (not counting my 5 minute intro - I guess to minute 41) is Brad going over the rules. From that point to minute 50 (55) is us coming up with our PC backgrounds, motivations and obligations. from there on is actual game play. Thanks for listening. We hope you enjoy.
