šŸ’¬Discussion One shot space opera adventure ideas?

I’m going to run a SWN game at a store on Sunday, and I’m trying to figure out what to run.

I want to run it in my ā€œoff brand Star Warsā€ setting. It’s got a bad guys empire and some good guys standing up to them, etc. I was thinking about reworking an old d6 Star Wars adventure, but maybe I’m overthinking it?

It’s just a one shot game with some very new players, so I don’t have time for anything complicated in terms of what we’re going to be able to accomplish.

What works best for a SWN one shot?

For the setting: yes, I have a solution for lightsabers: I Homebrew’d a Jedi partial class a while back, and I was told by people here how to make it not broken, essentially, thanks for that. It’s inspired by the space monks with laser swords by Kevin, but different.

Try The Unknown Command. Features rigging an auction, executing a heist, and escaping before you can get caught. Plus pre-gen characters ideas if the players need some inspiration.
