🏁Podracing Rules: 🏠🍻Home Brew
The community shifts into high gear with a bold expansion for the galaxy’s most dangerous sport.
In the Star Wars RPG (FFG), podracing has always thrilled players with its adrenaline-fueled chaos and high-stakes drama. But until now, the official rules barely scratched the surface of what podracing could be at the table.
Thanks to the r/swrpg community, we now have Now That’s Podracing — a complete, ambitious, and finely-crafted expansion that turns any gaming session into a full-fledged Boonta Eve showdown.
📚 Highlights of the Expansion:
🎮 A full racing system with Pole Position tracking, segmented racetracks, collision mechanics, and heat management
🛠️ 25+ new podracer-specific modifications and rigging attachments
🏎️ Stat blocks for all podracers from The Phantom Menace, Star Wars Racer, and related media
🧑🚀 Legendary racers like Anakin, Sebulba, Dud Bolt, and many more — all with unique talents
🔧 Expanded rules for sabotage, pit stops, engine fires, dramatic crashes... and of course, betting.
🧠 Why does this matter for Star Wars Experiment?
Beyond the fun, Now That’s Podracing is a brilliant example of how dedicated communities can expand game systems with rich mechanics and immersive storytelling. Podraces aren’t just one-off minigames — they can be entire campaigns full of drama, sponsorships, conspiracies, and glory.
If this kind of material speaks to you, recommend Star Wars Experiment, and create a parallel campaign Boonta Unleashed!
