Star Wars RPG and Miniatures

[Archon Revuge]

So are there many Star Wars RPG and/or Miniatures players here?

[Reverend Strone]

I used to play the RPG but have run out of time for it in recent years (though certainly not love). We had a long running campaign that I GMed for a group of friends until about two years ago. I have a pretty decent minis collection, and do still pick up the occasional new one but only ever got them for use as tokens in my RPG games, rather than to play the minis game itself. Do you play/collect them?

[Archon Revuge]

Yeah, I GMed an RPG campaign for a group of friends for about two years; but that finished almost five years ago now.

I've really been enjoying the Miniatures game over the past few years though and have amassed a pretty decent collection. I really can't wait to use them for an RPG campaign sometime in the future.

[Reverend Strone]

Yeah, they've done a great job with the variety of minis produced. My campaign was a fringe focussed story, with the characters all being low life types eeking out a living amid a crime war between two rival Hutts, so I have been very pleased with all the alien fringer type characters that have been included in the line. I have a hunger to get back to it all again as we never finished the story, but sadly I can't see it happening anytime soon. I just don't have the time to put into it anymore.

[Archon Revuge]

Yeah, I know what you mean. It's definitely one of those things you want to put time and thought into.

I never played the games, but I have a few of the miniatures (adding to my Leia/Padme collection mostly) - If I didn't spend so much on the action figures, I would definitely collect more of the minis

Just saw this posted on the offical site - Wizards of the Coast are not renewing their SW licence SW.com article

While browsing for Padme' collectibles on ebay, I bought a poster for the miniatures - took me a minute to figure out the pose looks very close to a photo of my costume (taken before the mini set came out) -

Great image Kristy!

Sad about the games going away. While I had slacked off a bit lately, I used to buy the minis and books avidly, and even got a bit of work through Wizards on the games too. I'll miss them.

I picked up some of the early Wizards of the coast roleplay books when they first came out but did not carry on.

As for the minis I only got one or two boxes of those, but to be honest collectible pre paints were never my cup of tea.

Hopefully whoever picks up the license now will do something fantastic and new....

I picked up a box when ever I went on a trip alway and saw them. Never had them in Invercargill so didnt play with anyone, I liked the spaceship battles ones the best. Hopefully with wizards out of the picture they can make a decent card game again like the Decipher ccg my first SW collecting passion
