The PCs have traveled to another region of the Stellar Archipelago in an attempt to rescue its people from the clutches of the vile archdevil Sidious..
Little do the PCs know that the IMPERIUM has secretly begun construction on a new floating fortress, the dreaded BLACK CITADEL.
When completed, this ultimate weapon will spell certain doom for the small band of heavily armed transients struggling to restore freedom to the domain...
It's the man himself: DARTH VADER! Topics discussed include:
- How to adapt the most iconic villain and the most iconic setting in all of Star Wars into D&D terms so that your players don't wonder why they aren't just playing Star Wars;
- The perfect stat block for Vader, and how that led to one of our biggest scifi-to-fantasy changes to the source material;
- Some of the iconic NPCs of this period, both villainous and heroic, and the role they can play in a Star Wars Ravenloft game;
- The scariest fantasy horror version of the Death Star we could come up with, complete with a fate worse than death for the Jedi;
- And more!
