Maxwell Lord posted:I'm not crazy with how they're splitting up the games. I get divvying up the eras of play, but I'm not sure why it needs to be further divided so that smuggling is one game and being a Rebel is another and so on. It doesn't seem like they're that different, especially when the movies have an aspiring Jedi, a Rebel leader, a smuggler and his alien co-pilot, etc. I agree. My wallet would prefer they did a core book for the system and have non-core classes, races, and time periods be separated out into various books. Though I'm sure their wallets very much like reprinting the same 300 pages and selling them to people 3 to 5 times.

this troper posted:I'm surprised they aren't doing an approach like they did with WFRP 3e, where they had the core set, then they sold supplements in packs (like the warrior and military sourcebook came with the Khorne sourcebook too). I think they're following the route that's been more profitable for them. The WH40K line is clearly out performing WFRP3 so why not go the same route with Star Wars? Plus, the Star Wars line lacks all the fiddly bits that WFRP3 so I'm sure that was taken into account when they made their decision.

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:Or just buy blank dice and use a sharpie. Has anyone played this yet? How is it? I saw the PA post and got excited enough to look into it. I played it for the first time Friday evening. The dice mechanic is very easy to grasp and it's surprisingly quick to judge success/failure advantage/disadvantage. (I fell in love with the dice mechanic instantly. It's great for narrating events.) Sometimes coming up with a relevant advantage after failing a roll was awkward for the GM but I believe that as players and GMs get accustomed to it, it will come naturally. The adventure itself (and frankly, the entire box) was meant for people new to RPGs--beginners, one could even say--but was still enjoyable for seasoned veterans. All in all, I'm anticipating getting into the downloadable adventure for our next session!
