@darthbane53 yes i ran a short campaign just using the core book. The down side is that you don’t have that much to play with when it come to pre-gen encounters. I just make them by hand or on the fly.
Is this all I need? To play and GM?
i bet the nights of the old republic era will be cool
I played D6 once, a long time ago, and I didn’t like its rules, which felt a bit abstract and just not so “Star Warsy”. Saga really makes you feel like you’re in the Star Wars universe. I do agree that the rules can be too authoritative in that they explain exactly what to do in every conceivable situation, but on the other hand, it’s so easy to just ignore what you don’t need and focus on the tons of great stuff you do like. I think Saga is the best SWRPG so far.
Wait, so it IS a trap?
D6 is where it’s at. D20 Star Wars SUCKS!
@soiledshortz That could be good for D&D though, since they can concentrate on making the 4th Edtion work this time hehe… not that I care though particularly.
5:50 ebon hawk LOL
If you’re not fighting a Sith Lord, you’re playing FarScape. Best quote.
THIS GAME IS TOO DAMN SLOW! (among other problems) D6 STAR WARS IS WHERE ITS AT!
@maxrockes In my opinion, you should go to ebay or amazon and concentrate your fund on the old style west end games D6 Star Wars game. It was widely popular, simplistic and put the power of the game into the hands of the GM and Players, NOT the rules. Then again, thats just an opinion.
shud i get this
I liked the way D6 handled Force powers but I can agree that it doesn’t emulate the prequel trilogy style of Force use quite so well. Then again, I prefer the “classic trilogy” approach to Jedi and Force powers so it’s not so much of an issue for my purposes.
To D20 System is terrible and it concentrates to much on the rules. STAR WARS D6 IS THE PREFECT STAR WARS GAME. It all depends on the gm too.
It’s a great game. I hope you guys have fun.
@soiledshortz It’s a shame, me and my friends just picked up the rulebooks.
I’m pretty damn sad that Wizards is giving up the license to Star Wars :’(
i’ve no experience in RPGs outside the digital world =P i just got SW RPG for christmas, and i hope it works great
What are your favorite RPG’s?
I’ve always been skeptical of SAGA until this point, but after the last session I played, admittedly with beginners, and 3 encounters took 2 hours, I’m thinking of going for something more streamlined….
I’ve always wanted to try out the old West End Games system. To me, d20 just doesn’t work well for Star Wars.
But yes, Force Powers were very strange in D6. Everything else was good though.
Star Wars D6 was far superior to Saga and D20. But alas, West End Games died. But it was so classic.
