The Inside Scoop on Gaming

The fifth addition to the Star wars "Best of" series, "Classic Adventures Volume 5" consists of three shoot 'em up adventures for GMs looking for a quick adventure to run.

None of the adventures are particularly great, all three have a linear feel to the story line with the first one "Starfall" being little more than a "scoot and shoot" adventure. The other two adventures "Strike Force: Shantipole" and "The Game Chambers of Questal" seem to have opportunities for characters to try actions not covered in the story line. The GM could be hard-pressed to get the characters back into the story line if they tried a different approach to the problems they encounter.
