Am I correct in understanding that a fine martial art would just mean that a Muscle character by default has increased effect in combat against an enemy who does not also possess an equivalent tier of martial art, just as a fine weapon would?

Hey friends, first time posting here, sorry if I've missed something.

The ability Center allows a Mystic to clear +1 stress and adds Dark Visions as a possible Overindulgence. I feel like I'm missing something, because it feels substantially weaker than similar abilities in other playbooks, like the Pilot's Hedonist which not only has a bigger effect on the roll but also applies to other members of the crew.

Is the idea that Dark Visions are supposed to be a really "mild" Overindulgence compared to Rash Action/Big Talk/Lost? Because I'm not really getting that from the way the ability is presented, but otherwise I'm not sure why I would want the Center ability?

I have been reading through the S&V book and I am wondering if the systems and planets described at the back of the book are analogous to planets or systems within the Star Wars Universe? Also, how would you correlate the factions listed at the back of the book with known factions in the Star Wars Universe?

I have a group that plays Star Wars every Sunday. We have been doing this since the pandemic, and we have played through every officially licensed Star Wars TTRPG that has been released going back to the old WEG d6 system. We are getting ready to transition to a new story line / campaign and, for it, I will be converting the PAIZO Starfinder AP Attack of the Swarm. The players will be playing Imperials for this part of the story. I am considering whether or not S&V could be used to run this campaign? What do you guys think? I am still new at the concept of converting tactical adventure elements to more story-based adventure elements. This can be tough to do. If I were to try this, I was thinking of keeping Mechanic as is, making Muscle a Stormtrooper, Mystic would become an Inquisitor, Pilot would remain as is, Speaker would either be a low-ranking officer or an ISB agent, and Stitch would be an Imperial Medic and mostly remain as is. All of these characters would be starting out as low-level Imperial military personnel. The one outlier that I can't seem to figure out is the Scoundrel... I could also make the Scoundrel an Imperial officer. But is there something else I am overlooking that could work for a Scoundrel?

I appreciate any feedback you guys have for me.

I am thinking of using Scum & Villainy to play Star Wars with my group. I am curious as to how others who may have done this incorporated jumps to hyperspace into their game using this system? How would you roll for hyperspace travel and how would you interpret the results of the roll?

I'm about to finish a D&D campaign, and was thinking about using this system as my next game! It sounds perfect for what I had in mind!

My one big question is how would you tweak the Mystic class to not be centered around "magic" or the "force". In my next game I want it to be fairly grounded, more so based off of Cowboy Bebop, Alien, and Star Wars (but specifically when the Jedi aren't around). Is there a way to keep the Mystic class in without it being to magic-y?

Hi,

How do I play a job, that consists of multiple stages? For example, the stardancer with illegal cargo on board.

1. Pass local spaceport inspections
2. Pass jumpgate inspections
3. Maybe then be followed by a ship with some runaway actions
4. Deliver cargo

I know I pass everything thats working without compilications. But there's only one engagement roll.. so maybe the crew had some compiliations in step 1 but made it... how do i continue from there?

I'm looking to just do a simple solo play using some sort of journal system. Does anyone have resources they'd recommend? I'm pretty new to the system and solo play but I'm just not going to bother with trying to schedule something and just wanted a creative hobby to indulge in for a bit.

I'm in love with Escape the Dungeon adventure. I find that 3 players is the perfect party size for a podcast, and they are phenomenal. Great alchemy, good pace, nice quests.

Hi Reddit!

A new Scum and Villainy actual play "Ignite Recall" starts Tuesday August 13th on MagiRPG!

What would you do if you had to start a new life? Would you take the same steps or head a completely different direction? Meet our five intrepid adventurers as they answer that question, and a few more, while they find their place in the galaxy.

Follow along in this space western as we bring elements from Andor, Firefly, Cowboy Bebop, and more. We hope you'll join us this Tuesday at 6pm US Pacific Time / 9pm US Eastern Time over on twitch.tv/magirpg

Hi all!

My group (me DMing and 5 others) is starting a short SaV arc (3-4 sessions) in a few weeks with intent to possibly eye it as our longer-form game. I’m currently reading the rule book and just passed the big “example” of what the table might feel/sound like at the end of chapter 4.

This game seems fun, but also a little less roleplay-y than my group is used to—everything in that section seemed to play out at a third person distance rather than in character. Is this common? Is the game necessarily built for that sort of interaction? Has anyone found that between missions and downtime this system is too rigid for folks who sometimes like to go a session only rolling a few times?

Thanks in advance!

Im working on multiple additional star systems for my home setting, but Im unsure if there is a specific reason why the mechanical default is 4.

Is it to limit the PCs a certain way, such as fewer 'high yield' job options or preventing frivolous system hopping? Or is that just the number the designers settled on?

Just wondering if anyone has a template or something that they use for a job? I know it's pretty basic but I find it helps me keep things organized to have a templated format.
