History TabletopGame / StarWarsD6

The West End Games sourcebook collection is made of almost 100 books—not including second editions and compilations—plus 15 quarterly magazine issues under the title the ''Star Wars Adventure Journal''. They also edited several books related to, but not belonging to, the Roleplaying Game line, including Star Warriors (which could be used as a substitute for the core books' starfighter rules), the board games ''Escape From The Death Star'' and ''Assault on Hoth'', the two-player game Lightsaber Duelling, the Introductory Adventure Game (a rules-light starter set for the RPG, akin to ''TabletopGame/BasicDungeonsAndDragons''), Star Wars Miniatures Battles, Live-Action Adventures (a {{LARP}}ing rulebook) and single-player adventure books.

** High Inquisitor Tremayne is this for Darth Vader, basically meant to serve as the players' personal nemesis.
** Trinta is one for Dagobah, complete with a Dark Side nexus.
** The Torpedo Spheres can function as a smaller, more manageable Big Spherical Battle Station for a player group to infiltrate and/or destroy.

''Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game'' (later informally dubbed ''Star Wars d6'' to distinguish it from later incarnations going [[NamesTheSame by the same title]]) was the first licensed TabletopRPG set in the ''Franchise/StarWars'' universe, designed by Creator/GregCostikyan and published by West End Games from 1987 until they lost the license in 1998 (it was then picked up by Creator/WizardsOfTheCoast, who then released ''TabletopGame/StarWarsD20'' in 2000). A German-language version was published by Welt der Spiele a few years later. One player is the GameMaster who runs the gameworld, being something like the director and referee, while the other players have a single character or role to play. The player characters have various skills and equipment and some can even use the Force.
