Taking Morality, Duty and Obligation from a Galaxy Far, Far Away for 5E D&D
Over at Nerdarchy the YouTube channel Nerdarchists Dave and Ted bring some ideas from a galaxy far, far away to the fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons table. They take inspiration from a mechanic from Fantasy Flight Games Star Wars Roleplaying and talk about how they’d implement a similar device in 5E D&D. In Star Wars RPG part of a character is your Morality, Duty or Obligation. These narrative mechanics are tied to Force and Destiny, Age of Rebellion and Edge of the Empire respectively. If I’m honest I’m not very familiar with FFG’s Star Wars RPG so when we were planning the video I wasn’t much help. But now that I’ve heard what Dave and Ted have to say, I’m certainly intrigued to explore this idea more and think about how Morality, Duty and Obligation can be a terrific tool for 5E D&D Dungeon Masters and players alike.
Star Wars The Force Awakens – Beginner Game Review – More in the Box than You think
Hello fellow Nerdarchist and Star Wars enthusiasts. It is ground breaking time here at Nerdarchy. We 
have been blessed with getting an advanced copy of the Force Awakens beginner game from Fantasy Flight games. It is not even available to pre-order and we already have our copy. This is a first to get a review copy from a major publishing house like Fantasy Flight Games, so a big Thank you to them.
Dave and I each have our own copies of each of the other box sets. You can check out the reviews I did on them here: Star Wars Edge of the Empire beginner game, Star Wars Age of Rebellion beginner game & Star Wars Force and Destiny beginner game.
Taken from the website:

Star Wars Force and Destiny – Beginner Game Review – More in the Box than You think
Hello Nerdarchist Ted here, May the Force be with you, and today we are going to delve into the Force and Destiny, The Star Wars Role Playing game, beginner box. Last week we did the Age of Rebellion you can read it here.
I did a review of the Force and Destiny corebook here.but today I wanted to go through the beginner game in detail and talk about the value. Nerdarchist Dave, myself and fairly regular guest and DM on our channel, Scott Garibay sat down and did an unboxing video on this.
Contained in the box are a number of very cool and useful things. You get a complete set of 14 dice, very useful for playing the game. You get the read this first insert with a great example play. You get the Long arm of the hit insert. There is a double sided fold out map. You get a wonderful adventure book. You get a mini or modified rule-book. I say mini or modified because it is condensed from the core rule-book. Last you get 4 awesome character portfolios detailing the information needed to play these characters.
