Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game (West End Games) - Spinoffs

Spinoffs

Four board games were published and coincided along with the role-playing game, all of them by West End Games:

• Star Wars: Star Warriors (1987)
• Star Wars: Escape from the Death Star (1990, not to be confused with the 1977 game)
• Star Wars: Assault on Hoth (1988)
• Star Wars: Battle for Endor (1989)

A miniature wargame was also written in 1989:

• Star Wars Miniatures Battles.

Five gamebooks were published by West End Games in the 1990s:

• Scoundrel's Luck (a Han Solo adventure) and Jedi's Honor (a Luke Skywalker adventure), both published in 1990, were the two only gamebooks of a series titled Solitaire Adventure, a kind of Choose Your Own Adventure books.

• The Imperial Doublecross, published in 1997, wasn't part of the Solitaire Adventure series and used the Star Wars D6 rules and character's die codes.

• The Lightsaber Dueling Pack and Starfighter Battle Book were picture gamebooks, presenting viewpoint series of pictures and the possible next courses of action, similar to Ace of Aces.

In the early 1990s, before the advent of the modern Internet, the FidoNet Star Wars Echo ran a message forum for playing the West End Games Star Wars Roleplaying Game on-line on computer bulletin board systems. The game also gathered a large internet following via such mailing lists such as the SW-RPG Mailing List.
