OverloadUT posted:Has anyone designed their own or found on the web a way to make enemy stat blocks with the dice pools for common actions pre-calculated? Now that I've been running EotE for a few weeks I'm finding it really annoying every time I want to have a dude use a blaster, I have to check to see what kind of weapon it is (light or heavy) then check in a different place to see what his skill is with the weapon, THEN check in a third different place to see what his ability rating in Agility is, and build the dice pool from that.

I'm just blown away by the potential. Have the PCs figured out a way to steal a capitol ship (with a compliment of 24 starfighters, no less) and want to smuggle illegal drugs across the galaxy? No big deal.

Amish Retard posted:One interesting thing to see at higher levels is that if you're rolling more upgraded dice on both sides, you'll end up with more triumphs and despairs, which don't cancel each other out. I think it will make high level play even more cinematic, which is even more  and reason to keep playing.

I'm aware, and it was largely tongue in cheek, seeing as I mentioned the memory wipes and restraining bolts :P A Friends PC is a droid, and he is vocal about droid suffrage. No one, including the NPCs, engage him. So overall, perfectly in line with cannon.

Basically, this just isn't the setting for Jedi: they don't exist anymore. Force sensitive types, yes, but no one is running around training young Jedi, and the only people that can use the Force have self taught, making their skills limited. In later books they will develop the Force more, as I'm sure you are aware, but this source book is all about it's name sake: living at the edge of the empire. The gameplay system will support it, but unless you want to completely write and balance your own system, you are just going to have to wait it out.

Nothing is stopping your EotE character's from a)picking up a new specialization or b)enlisting in the Rebel Alliance. I feel like it's going to be amazing as a suppliment for EotE, and a fun setting for a new campaign.

Just to add: if you paid 13 bucks for those dice, you got robbed. I've never had a dice pool use more dice than you can get in 2 packs of dice, and I got a set from the beginners game. The packs of dice are designed to be purchased by each player anyway (considering they have the Destiny Tokens in the same package) so if no one else can be bothered to pick up a set, I don't know what to tell you. That is, of course, unless you are going in to this with the intent to review, and not actually play a campaign. I can't believe anyone would wade knee deep into a play session more than once without a Core Book of their own.

So the Age of Rebellion Beta book has been released, and is available for purchase on FFG's webstore. $29.95. Was going to pick it up, but shipping to NC is $11.75  NEVERMIND. I can't rationalize paying $42 for a softcover beta book that'll I'll repurchase when it releases. I guess I can wait.

Springfield Fatts posted:Optical Camouflage System. Found a weird loophole. It says this upgrade would be useless on laminate or higher armor because of the noise you would make. It has been said by FFG that not all upgrades in the book are mean't to be used solely on stuff in the book. They seeded it with stuff for other sourcebooks, and adventures. I'm sure we'll see new equipment in Suns of Fortune, the Corellian book, for instance.

jivjov posted:Does Fantasy Flight's Star Wars system have a name other than "FFG's Star Wars roleplaying"? I've been referring to it as the "Edge of the Empire system", but with Age of Rebellion coming out soonish and Force and Destiny on the horizon, it'd be nice to have something slightly more accurate and all-encompassing to say in conversation. I've seen it referred to as the 'Narrative Dice System,' but since it differs from Warhammer Fantasy I would call it 'Star Wars Narrative System' since every other line in the "key mechanic" section of the book talks about NARRATIVE(!)

jivjov posted:I'm about to fire up a IRL game of EotE for my housemates and I plan on getting out my grid game-mat, but only as a tactile/visual aid. I think a lot of combat hangups in RPGs in general come from players/GMs having difficulty maintaining a mental image of who's where. Do you have a mat without lines? Having a visual aid is awesome, but people with tabletop experience tend to get reaaaally hung up on grid distance in my experience.

homullus posted:The main thing that slows me down is what I want to do with Threats and Despairs. Sometimes it's hard to think of something that really works in the circumstances. Have you tried crowd-sourcing? If you don't have something in mind, ask for suggestions. If the guy who just rolled a Despair has his dickpunch doled out by his fellow party members, you look more like an enabler than an adversary. Plus, you get some HILARIOUS outcomes that way.

jivjov posted:I did a bit more thinking about Enter the Unknown's (and Beyond the Rim's) price point and now I'm not sure how I feel. The EotE core book was 400+ pages and was $60. The two expansions so far are half the price, $29.95, but less than a quarter of the page count. I get that it's not a strict linear relationship between page count and price, but it seems a little odd to me. They are the nicest supplements/splat books I've ever owned. If you like the ip, they are almost worth it for the sweet pictures alone

jivjov posted:Judging by the Explorer supplement out now and the Hired Gun one coming soon, I assume FFG's plan is to release 6 career supplements for EotE. Do we have any inkling of what's next past Hired Gun? I would be happy with a shelf dedicated to this core system, to be honest. More adventures, more sourcebooks... do the same for AoR and FaD and I'll never want to play another RPG again.

Is AoR and FaD in the same time frame? I haven't picked up the Beta, but It would make sense if EotE is between IV and V, AoR is V and the following gap, and FaD is VI and on. They could go nuts with it, and there is nothing stopping you from playing an EotE character in a later time frame.

If the AoR Beginner's Game comes out second qtr like they plan, does that mean they are shooting for the Core book to release around the same time? I don't remember what the delay was between EotE beginner and core.

You can play an EotE campaign and transition into AoR easily. The only crunchy thing you have to do is either add on a Duty (and keep your obligation for story reasons) or fulfill the characters obligation so they can focus on their new Duty to the Rebellion. A good example of the transition is Han Solo. He went from a character straight out of an EotE campaign, and transitioned into an officer of the Rebellion with a new-found duty. He still had his obligation to Jabba the Hutt, however...

The "precursor" to EotE as far as FFG goes, Warhammer Fantasy, has 1 huge boxed set, 6 core books, 12 "expansions" (adventures, campaigns, and supplements), and 8 Print on Demand card products. It seems they ran out of steam after making the PoD stuff, with the last book being released in January of last year. EotE has not only the power of the license, but it also seems to be far more popular than WF ever was.
