Forgive this long intro, but I need to make sense here. I renounced Star Wars a long time ago. It truly has been a galaxy far, far away for me. But at May the 4th (yeah I know) I watched the original (non-special edition) for the first time with my girlfriend (who never saw any of them). And lo and behold, suddenly there was that old familiar spine-tingling feeling again and I just knew I had to ask it here:
Is there a Star Wars Hack for DW?
Sort of! Here’s a link:

There’s one from RPGGeek too. Will find you link later.
There’s a great World of Dungeons hack here:

I’ve technically been working on one. It’s in development hell at the moment though. :-\

Curious! Could I possibly have a look at what you’re working on so far?
Also, thanks a lot to all involved!
Certainly: http://whenyouflyaspaceship.blogspot.com/
I haven’t updated it recently. I’ve kind of hit a wall. It didn’t really make it terribly well through its first play-storm. And then Dungeon Planet came out, and Inverse World, and I’m not sure that a separate game is even necessary…
John Marron , that Star Worlds link you posted looks pretty fantastic.
Craig Hatler Thanks! How is Dungeon Planet anyway? Have you tried it? Does it lend itself to adapt for something like SW?

Details father down the (short) thread.
Maarten Roex Dungeon Planet is pretty rad! I ran it for a few sessions before, erm, stuff happened and we wound up wrapping it up earlier than I’d have liked. In my ever so humble opinion, I think if you’ve got space ships, lasers, aliens and robots, you can pull off SW just fine; however I’m sure others will say that it does planetary romance/sword-and-planet best, in the vein of Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers and John Carter of Mars.
+Craig Hatler, I got interested in the possibility of running a Star Wars game after playing the X-Wing minis game a while back, and once I ran across that hack, I knew what system I’d be using if I did end up doing one.
Craig Hatler Planetary Romance/Sword-and-planet is essentially what SW is all about, predominantly thanks to Episodes IV and V. I’ve been reading the earlier drafts Lucas wrote and they’re much more in line with stuff like Flash Gordon and John Carter. It’s common knowledge but because of all the prequel-BS it’s easily forgotten or ignored. Regardless, this is great stuff!
Heya!
Rob Wieland and I have been working on a Star Trek/BSG style AW hack for a while now. Here’s the first draft:
http://www.story-games.com/forums/discussion/17755/star-world-apocalypse-world-hack-for-space-stories#
We should be working on a second draft soon…
I was told that trying to cover SW, Trek and BSG in one game wouldn’t produce a very good game.
Craig Hatler – Yeah, I think we’ve realized that we’re far more focused on Star Trek/BSG than Star Wars…
I can’t wait to try these. Gonna try my own spin on all things star wars/dw. Thanks to all for the feedback!
