STAR WARS FORCE AND DESTINY
Tabletop role-players eager to play as outcast Jedi at the height of the Galactic Civil War should give Force and Destiny a try. The standalone game uses the same excellent narrative-focused dice mechanic seen in Fantasy Flight’s other recent Star Wars RPG releases, but puts an increased focus on morality, even letting you gain greater power on dice rolls by flirting with the dark side. Smartly written rules and beautiful art send your gaming group to that galaxy far, far away to discover whether your Force-sensitive heroes can survive the Emperor’s brutal regime.
