Traveller posted:So I see the dice are d6s, d8s and d12s with funky symbols on them. Couldn't you write a simple table to allow game to proceed with regular dice, i.e. for ability dice, you would have something like "1 - nothing, 2-3 one success, 4-5 one advantage, 6 two successes, 7 two advantages, 8 one success and one advantage"? Agree on something like that and you could play by post, IRC or what have you. This exists, it is just rear end backwards and tedious in process.

BattleMaster posted:It's probably overpriced but it's at least a lot fancier than I expected it to be. It has 3D animations for the dice rolling, you can drag them around on the "table", reroll individuals, delete them, change them, etc.. The sounds are driving me batshit, I had to turn them off. I also wish it did computation of results for you, just giving me the net results would be aces.

Talkc posted:So i looked over character creation tonight and something has me mystified. Gear has never really been a feature in the Star Wars games, except maybe for SWd20 where it suffered from the usual d20 issues. In d6 you pretty much got your blaster and a datapad and then it pushed you out the door. This sometimes led to early adventures being pack rat style shenanigans where the cargo hold of the ship was filled with junk stolen from here and there or looted suits of armor or whatever. In other news, my beginner box has finally shipped, I am super jazzed about this.

I have a question since I just have the starter boxed set. Brawl damage keys off brawn, and can be strain or wound. Fine. If I elect to do strain, does it bypass soak? Does it also mean that the wookiee hired gun (brawn 4) is neigh immune to punching damage since his soak is also 4? That makes a kind of sense, I just want to make sure I am reading this right. Second question is Critical Hits are TOTALLY ABSTRACTED in the basic box, and as far as I can tell it is neigh impossible to get more than one or two unless you are repeatedly shooting an unconscious body. How do they work in the full game?

I am thinking about trying the four player boxed set crew and two pregenned adventures as a PBP to sort of shake out how to run this on PBP. Would I get any takers from here?

Talkc posted:I have still to this day never played in a Play By Post. But i would be interested. It would be good to get my feet wet both in this system and in play by post. DiscipleoftheClaw posted:Yes, this. jivjov posted:I'd love to be in on that. I have the beginners box, but haven't been able to assemble enough people in one place to play. homullus posted:If you do that, I'll run a (terrible) MapTool one. OK, I will take you four if you want it. This will more or less be a dry run through the stock Boxed Set adventure and then a followup if it is going well through LONG ARM OF THE HUTT. More or less I want to see if we can hammer out how best to work the whacky dice conventions in a PBP format and how it can be the smoothest. By the time we get done, the full game should be out which will be rad. So who wants what?

OK, my cheap dice solution:    This seems like a good plan, and all of this is about $22 bucks from Amazon for more or less all the dice I will ever need for this game?

hectorgrey posted:One question - how do you plan to tell which dice are which? Some different die types use the same number of sides in this game, after all That is what the multicolored sharpies are for; Difficulty dice are purple sharpie, challenge are red, setback black, etc.

Another question - it mentions in the box rules that certain weapons "when triggered" do their thing. Say the Brass Knuckles, which are disorient 3. Do I need to DO anything to trigger, or does socking a guy work for triggerin'?

Ryuujin posted:Can a brawling wookie do real damage? Or would he be limited to strain? What I am getting at is would a wookie marauder be able to tear his enemies' limbs off? You are kinda fixated on limb tearing, but as per the basic boxed set brawl damage does wound or strain at the discretion of the puncher. I dunno what it will look like in the final version. The wookie pregen is a loving beast.

I have been doing it as +1 for every success, which effectively gives everything another damage. I can see either way, really.

BattleMaster posted:Edit: I was being hella snarky but seriously if the setting, races, and classes don't excite you then it might not be for you and your group. I am inclined to agree with you, but it may be fairer to say that SWEOTE is a lot more traditional in the top down "there is a GM to run poo poo and PCs to do poo poo in response" than Dungeon World, which throws a huge heaping helping of narrative import on the players. It is a different style of play entirely, one that is way more traditional or old school or whatever you want to call it. If you are looking for the sort of control over the enviroment and the world and events as a PC that you do in DW, this is probably not your game.

Oh I get that, I just don't mind it. Some times I like a game where I spend XP on petty poo poo like L5R or Warhammer or SWEOTE and other times I like more sweeping changes like Apoc World or whatever. If the latter is what you are looking for, this game is not gonna be your bag. That is not a bad thing or a good thing, it is just a thing.

devilmaydry posted:Trandoshans wear armor in-universe, I believe. I don't really see why a wookiee couldn't wear armor/clothes? Trandoshans certainly can, Bossk was armored up if I remember my action figures correctly. But as far as wookiees go just because Chewie didn't wear pants doesn't mean you can't.

If the individual game promotion/chat could get out of the general thread that would rule. Becoming a chat thread for individual games makes the overall game threads a lot more insular and cliquish than they ought to be, and is best saved for the OOC game thread or the underused PBP peanut gallery.

Talkie Toaster posted:Could anyone with experience playing the system weigh in on how practical it would be to replace the skill list with 13th Age-style backgrounds? Looking at it, there seem to be a lot of defensive uses of skills like Cool, Discipline and Vigilance which initially seem like they'd be awkward to freeform (e.g. "I'll defend against this lie with Cunning 3 and... uh... Nerf Herder 2 because... er... I'm used to people trying to con me?" doesn't need to happen that often to really break flow). Plus, the talent trees are all based on skills and categorising them on the fly might be problematic. The defensive skills are the other half of the opposed roll so you don't need to sweat it most of the time. It is never a roll off of you vs. someone, it is just one die pool being thrown to go either way. I would actually try the system before dicking with it too much, it is pretty well built in general for what it is and what it does.
