5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent addition to an already solid line, March 7, 2010

Galaxy of Intrigue is yet another solid supplement for the Star Wars Sage RPG, introducing the mechanic of skill challenges like in D&D 4e, using a series of skill rolls and roleplay to perform a task that wouldn't normally take just a single roll. In my opinion it's a great mechanic that melds dice rolling with the encouragement to roleplay your character and stress their abilities.
The usual assortment or additional species, equipment, droids, and ships are backed by a series of ready-to-run encounters, plot hooks, and campaign jump points.
Get it while you can, Wizards of the Coast has dropped the Lucasfilm license and the entire line will be out of print and off shelves before long. Ships of the Galaxy and Knights of the Old Republic are fetching upwards of $70 on Ebay!

Really good information on new feats, skill uses, new weapons and starships. It also has generic adventure hooks if you are running on the fly.
