Hunting Down Gamer #6
August 15, 2001

[ Hunting Down Gamer #6 ]A trio of motley bounty hunters stare coldly from the cover of the latest issue of Star Wars Gamer magazine. Three of the most dangerous predators in the galaxy are spotlighted in an article that supplements the forthcoming Rebellion Era Sourcebook. Dengar, Zuckuss and 4-LOM are given the full-stat treatment and are ready to be incorporated into your campaigns.

If you game as a bounty hunter, Gamer #6 offers up ten tempting targets each sporting hefty bounties on their heads. Brush up on your combat skills in a special article about combat tactics. Craft a miniature Death Star set from cardboard, spare parts, and good ol' fashioned Imperial ingenuity. This issue also features an in-depth look at the Nikto species and its various sundry sub-races.

In the fiction department, bestselling author Kathy Tyers chimes in with a musical short story entitled "Rebel Bass." Some of the most memorable characters from Dark Horse Comics tales are explored in "Usual Suspects." The adventure "Welcome to the Jungle" unleashes a group of player characters in a herdship habitat, packed with veermoks, divtos and yes, finally, Hoojibs.

Rounding out this issue is a stand-alone tabletop game recreating the Battle of Hoth, complete with cut out counters and a poster-sized hex-map. The Deck Plans department takes a look at pairing up Aurra Sing and Darth Maul for a killer CCG deck, and the regular report from LucasArts takes a look back at the titles revealed at E3.

Star Wars Gamer #6 starts shipping to subscribers on August 14, and is scheduled for newsstand release on September 4. It features cover art by Norwegian illustrator Mikael Noguchi.
