A downloadable game

Light Side is a fantasy in space that attempts to capture the magic of hope and optimism that is found in the popular Star Wars franchise by George Lucas. This is a game about the most unlikely allies coming together to fight for all that is good in the Galaxy Far Far Away against the most sinister evils. Whether it’s the Trade Federation, the Empire, or the First Order threatening the Galaxy, there has always been a Republic, a Rebellion, or… ahem… a New Republic who has risen to oppose them.

This system is Powered By the Apocalypse. It uses 2d6 for most dice rolls. When you fail a roll you will mark Dark Side, and falling to the dark side will be a constant threat in this game. There are optional rules available to help you mark more or less dark side based on how much of a threat you want it to be.
