alg posted:FoundryVTT has a pretty nice system going for it right now. You can import the data from OggDude's so your characters have all the data right in the VTT. It doesn't have weapon automation yet - you have to roll Ranged Light then do the math for damage. But that should be coming soon as they decouple from the Special Dice Roller mod. Weapons are automated now. You can import the entire SW-Adversaries site, giving you all the NPCs from the game in a compendium to drag and drop. in the next release, weapon attachments are separated so you can customize weapons in the game UI, rather than creating new attachments for everything. The 3D dice plugin also supports FFG now too:

I've moved my whole gave over to foundry and I cannot express how much better it is than roll20 in virtually every way.

I just picked up FoundryVTT to prep for a Star Wars campaign and I'm loving it. I'm working on inputting careers, talents, items, etc into it and I'm real interested in being able to import an existing database. I saw the import from OggDude button, but what do I need it to import? And what's the SW-Adversaries thing? I also picked up Dungeon draft to make maps with and with the Star Wars and sci fi sampler packs it's really nice.

Yo, who else wants to play superhero Jedi in the High Republic? Going around with a laser sword killing space vikings in an era when everyone was actually not a fascist rear end in a top hat.

This is the kind of Star Wars game I like, alongside Rebel/Republic troops stomping bad guys (smuggler/scum games are okay, but if you're not involving Jedi and/or fighting the evil Empire, you don't really need it to be Star Wars), but my group consists of one person who is way too into the aesthetics of the Dark Side and one person who'd rather be playing Firefly.

Not sure where else to ask this, but I'm a huge fan/longtime DM of EotE, been thinking about dipping my toes into running a Genesys game so I'm not as married to the SW brand (want to brew my own setting) but curious how Genesys handles character classes since they were so indelibly linked to SW worldbuilding (thinking of the smuggler tree and the jedi tree etc); does the Genesys corebook (which I have not procured) offer advice on designing the class trees or just forego that in favor of "here's some generic trees, good luck?"

It uses a different system, a pyramid from what I recall, where you have various generalized talents and you build up (so two fives can support one ten point talent).

Are there tools for how to design what the different levels of effects do, or is it basically classless with players determining what each level's bonus is?

Shrecknet posted:So it doesn't do the "track a path to the thing you want" thing from EotE and just goes with 'build a pyramid'? The pyramid works pretty well, requiring players to continually go back to lower tiers of talents to either bolster existing ones or pick up new knacks in order to fill it in. You could pretty easily make some simple trees for your players, or at least pick out what you consider the primo talents for an existing "class/career" in your game. I've done this for my Star Wars games to represent a character learning something new without a full "commitment" to a new career. If you're interested in making actual trees then you can look at the EotE trees for guidance or pick up a copy of the Expanded Players Guide that has more guidance on creating trees, but the bare bones of it is having tiers to your tree where each talent on a particular tier costs 5 x tier level. Then you can play with the positioning/connection of the talents to say something about the career. If you're interested in making more of your own setting the Expanded Players Guide is a pretty great thing to pick up in addition to the core book, there's a lot of useful information in it.

The plan is to introduce them as a "lost Padawan" ally then reveal they're manipulating things (I'm going for a conspiracy thriller sort of mood). I figure after several sessions they're going to get in a fight, the characters have already done one campaign so they've got a good chunk of XP under their belt and an Emperor's Hand feels like an enemy an elite Rebel cell should be able to take on if they have to

Hey, some friends asked if I could dm a Star Wars campaign for them. I have experience with 2nd edition through 5th edition d&d but some of them have only played 5th edition and are kinda tabletop newbies. What's the learning curve like? I think I would have a lot of fun with this, but don't want to throw them into the deep end with a system that puts a lot of focus on character builds/combat.

The game is about as complex as 5E, imo.

The Edge of the Empire one is more fun imo. I think Fantasy Flight puts up free follow up adventures to all their beginner games, my group definitely played through the one for EotE and enjoyed it greatly.

I'm going to be running a "New Republic Commandos" type of game where the players are an elite special forces group who are gonna be going deep into remnant imperial space and using Age of Rebellion as my core book and I've got a few questions I'd be really happy to get some help getting my head around. 1: One of my players is absolutely obsessed with the idea of cranking out the highest amount of dice possible from as far away as possible. I want him to feel like a Cool Badass Sniper but I don't want the other players to just be obviated as one guy one-shots all the enemies from across the map. I worry that the second I put down a Rival or even a Nemesis they're just going to headshot them from across the map, or take out anywhere from 4 to 5 grouped Stormtroopers in a single good attack roll. Any tips on how to let them keep enjoying the character build they so clearly want to put down, but not take away the combat fun from the rest of the squad? 2: Does anybody happen to have any good maps of the Galaxy as of the timeline of The Mandalorian and all the new spinoffs, especially in regards to what may or may not currently be the New Republic or leftover Imperial Space? Even if fan-made or from legends that's fine. 3: Anyone have any advice on how Duty should be used in a campaign like this? I got my head around Obligation back when we ran a smugglers one-shot but Duty seems a lot less straightforward and I'm struggling on what it's supposed to do.

The best laid plans go wrong etc. (and also I don't know this system well) but its nice for the party to give powergamers a teamwork-oriented objective that they can obliterate. Maybe the baddy is plugged into a souped up personal shield generator with backups that come up after a few seconds. The sniper gets to roll big headshot numbers and the rest of the team has to get up close and personal. Epi Lepi posted:The Edge of the Empire one is more fun imo.
