“Battle for the Golden Sun” Star Wars RPG Adventure

One thing that West End Games did right with the launch of the Star Wars RPG* back in 1987 was to load us up with adventures for the game. Pre-written adventures serve as teaching tools for new players and gamemasters, offering up examples of how adventures should be structured and presented. And even though this particular ad isn’t quite as exciting as some of the other advertisements the company published for the game in Dragon magazine (especially the product checklist ad), it’s still a blast to look back three decades to a time when Star Wars licensing was more free-form and energetic than it is today.
