May the 4th Be With You: Storm Troopers



Back in January, I started using TinyD6 to run a couple of Star Wars one-shots where the players were Storm Troopers just after the Battle of Yavin.

I picked up Modern War from Zozer Games that uses the Cepheus Engine (an OGL version of Mongoose Traveller 1E) with the plan to run a one-shot using the system. 

For the record TinyD6 is great, but I've never run or played Traveller/Cepheus and I'm intrigued by it.
