West End Games made some departures in style for the DarkStryder RPG campaign.

  • The players are encouraged to use the characters included with the set; indeed each player will have a stable of characters to run, depending on the needs of the story.
  • The atmosphere is darker than the usual Star Wars setting. A short story by Timothy Zahn starts off the campaign, and helps set that tone.
  • The PC’s ship, the FarStar, is a CR90 corvette with a colorful past, and a busy future. It’s a run-down ship; malfunctions, repair, and constant maintenance will figure into the story. The crew is a dour, cranky lot.
  • All this is in service of running down imperial warlord Moff Sarne, the ultimate goal of the campaign.

La Campaña del Guardian Oscuro (JOC Internacional, 1997? ISBN 8478311637) is from my personal collection, not for sale. Hardcover book, not a box. Production quality is excellent, with all the extras (en español, claro). Map is smaller than the original though.
