Alien Adventures

"The following story seeds . . . are meant to help fuel the creation of your own Star Wars adventures and campaigns. Have fun!"

- Owen K. C. Stephens and Steve Miller Alien Adventures is a web enhancement to Alien Anthology for The Star Wars Roleplaying Game from Wizards of the Coast. It was written by Owen K. C. Stephens and Steve Miller and released on November 1, 2001. The article provides six basic adventure outlines that feature various aliens from the book. The hooks were originally slated to appear in Alien Anthology itself, but space restraints required that they be cut. The stories are written as generically as possible to allow them to be easily inserted into campaigns set in any era of the Star Wars timeline.
