Star Wars RPG

Most Star Wars roleplaying campaigns center around the Rebel Alliance, smugglers, or freewheeling scoundrels opposing the Empire. But turning the table—putting your players in Imperial boots—can create one of the most unique and compelling Star Wars D6 experiences. Running an Imperial campaign offers opportunities to explore loyalty, duty, and moral compromise within the galaxy’s most powerful military machine.

Welcome to the galaxy of blasters, lightsabers, and destiny. Whether you’re a grizzled gamemaster or a new recruit to the Rebel Alliance, understanding the core mechanics of the Star Wars D6 System (2nd Edition Revised and Expanded) is the first step toward running fast, cinematic adventures in the Star Wars universe.

The Star Wars D6 roleplaying system—originally published by West End Games—remains one of the most beloved ways to experience the galaxy far, far away. Whether you’re using the classic 2nd Edition or the Revised & Expanded rulebook, running a campaign is about more than dice rolls and stats—it’s about telling your own Star Wars story.

Long before the age of sprawling digital RPGs and streaming actual play campaigns, there was West End Games’ Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game. First released in 1987, this innovative system didn’t just let players explore the galaxy far, far away—it defined how generations of fans understood the Star Wars universe beyond the screen.
