As the title says I ran my first skirmish RPG on Sunday may 3rd for my local game space's May the Fourth weekend and it was a blast. I took Galactic Heroes 2e from Wiley games and crafted all my pieces and terrain and heavily modified the game system and gmed it essentially.

The game was star wars themed and had the two players controlling the rebels and the imperials controlled by myself.

Scene one was "the defense" the small squad of 6 rebel troopers had to hold a landing zone and data center long enough for the millennium falcon to land and reinforce their garrison with more troops and the heroes. They did really well, with their sniper taking out several guys and their heavy gunner going toe to toe with the heavy gunner storm trooper. They used a light side point to keep their scout from dying in a mortar strike and lasted long enough for the falcon to do a low fly by and blast my troopers away.

They chose to bring Luke and Leia and their heavy gunner, sniper, and their jetpack troopers I called skyriders for scene two, the siege, where they had to take a power station. They infiltrated the skyriders in deep and dropped the melee specialist one into the imperial frontline and took several guys out. The sniper blew away a couple of my guys and with efficient grenade usage they took the power station with relative ease.

In scene three they took chewie, han, Leia and Luke and I learned to fear the monstrous combo I created accidentally. Leia had the battle command trait which let her give someone else an action. She would activate Luke and he would fastball special the wookie into groups of enemies and absolutely annihilate them. Luke rushed in and took out the first couple of troopers and was cocky until Vader took the field (preceded by the imperial march of course) and absolutely bodied Luke. Luke retreated and they fastball specialed Vader. He fell back and they fought through a few rooms and finally they got to the communications relay and after using the fastball special on r2 to dome boba Fett and kill him and chewie throwing Vader into a wall, r2 uploaded the virus to infect the entire navy and cripple them at least long enough for a concerted counterattack.

All in all it was a blast and I'm doing a 40k version on May 15th! It was stressful getting it all done in 2-3 weeks and as you can see Leia and chewy didn't get finished and boba Fett was played by a space marine.

I'm looking for more systems to gm this way! I have 5 leagues from the borderlands and 5 parsecs from home, a bunch of forbidden psalms/morkborg stuff but I'm also looking at 5 parsecs planet fall and tactics. Any feedback on those or suggestions?

I've heavily modified a scifi skirmish war game called Galactic Heroes 2e to run more like an RPG. And it will be played with things I've hand crafted and crocheted! Behold some of my pieces! I still have so many rebels and villains/heroes to make. I also made custom unit cards in a 90's CCG style. I'd love to hear what you all think. I've been giving into the star wars Tism for a bit!

I've been posting intermittently here when I have more pieces done for my skirmish game piece collections. I'm getting ready to run a star wars RPG skirmish using a heavy modified galactic heroes 2e by Wiley games. I am crocheting all the pieces and making stuff out of cardboard, felt, and other things I've got around the house. Attached are pictures of the board as of Saturday and the unit character cards that I designed in canvas to give the players backstory on the back and stats and equipment on the front. I'm super chuffed with the cards and the terrain set up.

I'm running an RPG skirmish star wars session for 4 hours on Sunday running the players through it kinda like DND as the dm. It's shaping up to be fun. I'm part of my local game space's may the 4th weekend celebrations.

I still have many units and terrain to finish but I've been having a blast.

I'm modifying galactic heroes to be more RPG friendly, changing and adding weapons and properties, and giving special abilities to heroes and villains and such. Due to being basically 50mm scale I'm changing move and weapon ranges and I'm really hoping it goes well!

I'm happy to answer questions and welcome feedback and ideas!
