"Star Wars Instant Adventures" is a collection of nine short adventure scenarios for the "Star Wars" role-playing game that can be added to a campaign, introduced as a link between other adventures, or used anytime the gamemaster needs a short interlude. The book also includes 32 full-color adventure cards that provide illustrations of some of the ships, vehicles and aliens and people encountered in the scenarios. The adventures include : Publication history. In 1987, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of "Star Wars", Lucasfilm licensed WEG to produce a role-playing game based on the first three "Star Wars" movies. The result was "Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game", which used the same D6 System created for their "Ghostbusters" role-playing game in 1986. This was updated by a second edition in 1992 that expanded to use material from "Star Wars" novels being written by Timothy Zahn and others. In 1997, WEG published "Instant Adventures", a 64-page book with adventures written by six different authors, with interior art by Mike Chen , Paul Daly, Ray Lederer, Christopher Trevas, Christina Wald, and Loston Wallace, and cover art by Lucasfilm. Adventure card illustrations were done by Robert Duchlinski, Brian Schomburg, Christopher Trevas, and Christina Wald. Reception. In the December 1997 edition of "Dragon" (#242), Rick Swan liked the idea of "bite-sized adventures [...] each playable in an afternoon." He particularly liked "Agent Nallok is Missing" by Peter Schweighofer. Swan concluded, "Add a set of 32 reference cards (bound in the back of the book), and you've got a keeper."
