Book Description

Publication Date: March 17, 2009

Take your adventures into the far future of the Star Wars universe.

The Empire rules the galaxy once more, this time under the control of the vile Darth Krayt, and resistance is crushed under the heels of Sith overlords. The Jedi are scattered and devastated, with only a handful remaining to resist the tyranny of the Sith. The Galactic Alliance fleet is but a shadow of its former self, struggling to stay hidden while engaging in hit-and-run attacks against the Empire.

This is the Legacy Era, set 130 years after the Battle of Yavin, gives players and Gamemasers the freedom to shape the Star Wars galaxy during an exciting period when no one is safe from evil. Players can join the struggling Galactic Alliance fleet, or fight for Roan Fel's Empire-in-exile. This book contains everything players need to create heroes that fit perfectly into the Legacy Era, while Gamemasters will find the book filled with allies, antagonists, starships, and plot hooks to create exciting adventures against the backdrop of a galaxy ruled by the Sith.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Campaign Guide (Minor Spoilers), March 24, 2009

By 

Damien (Huntsville, AL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Legacy Era Campaign Guide (Star Wars Roleplaying Game) (Hardcover)

For fans of both Star Wars: Legacy and the role-playing game, this campaign guide is a great resource. With plenty of new material beyond the comics, it also serves as a good resource for the era itself. My only disappointments are minor: Bantha Rawk's build seems inappropriate considering his back story and demonstrated abilities, and no inclusion of stats for Force-ghost Luke. The Legacy Destiny option is in a word, sweet. The art varies throughout between decent and amazing, so visual appeal is there as well.

3.0 out of 5 stars No Calrissian Legacy???, August 22, 2011

By 

Sexton K. Hardcastle "The 11th Letter" (Binghamton, NY USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Legacy Era Campaign Guide (Star Wars Roleplaying Game) (Hardcover)

The title of this book is The Legacy Era and it gives you the option of carrying on the names of famous players in the Star Wars universe.

As I was browsing the list of available Legacies I was shocked to find one of the biggest contributors in the SW universe had been omitted. Lando Calrissian double-crossed Vader at Cloud City, helped Chewbacca and Leia escape from the Empire, infiltrated Jabba's Palace, became a General in the Rebellion army, and destroyed the 2nd Death Star but yet is not good enough to receive a Legacy in this book?? Nien Nunb has a Legacy and he was the co-pilot! Greedo has a Legacy! Really? Greedo? He was in the film for all of 2 minutes at the most.

I double and triple checked this book but no Calrissian Legacy. Why such an egregious error by Wizards?

Important to anyone who plays the role playing game. Adds new species and feats/skills to the player to advance their characters even further. A must have for anyone who wants to create a story past Return of the Jedi.
