We started a new Star Wars campaign on 11/13/11. We are using the West End Games D6 system instead of the crappy WOTC D20 system. The characters are as follows:
Pat M - A human smuggler named Coruscant Jim (Harrison Ford as Han Solo)
Ken H - A Wookie First Mate named Bobacca (Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones)
Jon D - A Rodian bounty hunter named Avarice-O (Harrison Ford as Rick Deckard)
Chris G - wily GM

Session 1 11/20/11
Anaxis the Hutt, a crime lord from Nalcreeta, that Coruscant Jim is in debt to tasked him to help out a bounty hunter find someone named Aurora Tannen. A quick investigation of her whereabouts put her on a ship to the planet Afek. The players quickly jumped into their ship and gave chase. Unfortunately, Bobacca’s astronavigation skill was lacking a bit and the ship ended up in the wrong system. To top it off, there were pirates lying in wait and the players got ambushed. The pirates had a larger ship and a smaller Z95 headhunter. The Z95 was severely damaged by the bounty hunter slash kick ass starship gunner, but the larger ship disabled the players’ ship with an ion cannon. The pirates made a boarding action against the players’ ship but unfortunately for the pirates Bobacca went on a rampage and killed them all. The ship was looted and the players were back on their way.
Arriving on Afek, Bobacca and Avarice-O went to the local tavern to investigate any leads. A few locals apparently took offense to the way Avarice-O was asking questions about the bounty, and decided to kick his ass. Avarice-O was pretty confident of the outcome (he had a wookie on his side!) but apparently Bobacca wanted to teach him a lesson for being such a smartass and didn’t jump in. It didn’t matter anyways as one of the attackers cold cocked Avarice-O with one swing. Bobacca then retrieved his friend and retreated to the ship. Avarice-O stayed aboard and the other 2 left to find clues and rent a speeder. They visited a few spots, including the mining company office and conversed with the secretary.
Session 2 11/27/11
The action resumed with the players returning to ship to retrieve Avarice-O. After hearing the information Bobacca and Coruscant Jim got, Avarice-O decided the mining office needed a second look. When the players returned there, the secretary had no new information but suggested they talk to her boss. This was quickly accomplished and the players found out that Tannen was looking to rent some mining equipment and head out into the canyons. A quick stop by the rental place confirmed she rented a speeder and a mining laser about 2-3 weeks prior. A visit to the local cartographer revealed that she acquired a map to sector 5. Just to be on the safe side Avarice-O got maps to all the sectors and the players were on their way.
There were 4 points of interest in sector 5, an abandoned mine, a settlement, an Afekian tribal encampment and a mining outpost. After a quick debate (AKA high roll wins), it was off to the abandoned mine. This proved to be a bad choice as the mines looked like they had been visited recently but it turned out to be a nasty monster that almost took out Avarice-O and Jim. A quick trip the mining outpost for healing a clues followed, then it was decided to head to the encampment.
The encampment was deserted but it looked like it had been attacked by something and the people had fled back the way the players came. It was decided to check out the settlement and off the players went again. On the way to the settlement, Coruscant Jim noticed a wrecked speeder off in a side canyon, so the players stopped to investigate. All signs pointed to this speeder being Tannen’s so the players kept going down the side canyon. They came upon a dead end with what looked like a hole cut into the rock face and a mining laser setup in front of it. It was quickly apparent the battery in the mining laser was dead so Bobacca used the power from the speeder to get it started again and cut a bigger hole in the wall. Bobacca and Avarice-O investigated the hole and found a weird panel that looked like it wanted a code or something. After the thing shut off, the 2 of them were attacked by 2 spider looking robots. A lot of firepower from Avarice-O (and a little bit from Bobacca) dispatched the robots.
