Is there a good list of reasons to add boost/setback dice? Same for advantage/threat over what's listed in the table in the book?

Sorry my post was pretty unclear, my bad. I know in the book it says that players can lobby for boost dice, or that advantage can do more than just the stuff it says on the table. I'm looking for some narrative/fluff/in-character/etc examples of that to help show my group some of the outside the box options.

I believe I know the answer, but just looking for confirmation, but if I am getting shot at, and have a choice between increasing range by 1 (to add a difficulty die) or diving into cover (to add a setback die) I am better off adding a difficulty die, correct?

If you did an imperial campaign, you could maybe do a black ops level one, decent starting xp and the reason you can't call in bombing runs every 2 seconds is you're operating on way off the books level black poo poo.

So CPS, I gotta thank you for your players idea. Tonight in my RL game, the GM mentioned that we had to get intel from a guy out of 160th floor safehouse. I went "I got this", flew the hovercar up to the window, shot some holes in it. It didn't break, so our Toydarian slipped a frag grenade in the holes, boom. Other member of the team came in the front while the guards were distracted, grabbed the mark and off we flew.

Almost did it AGAIN later to different mark, I kind of hope it becomes our signature thing.

If you have a smart phone that can run it, the dice rolling App is pretty good and we have a few folks at our table who use that vice a set of dice.

Fuzz posted:

Roll net Threat on everything? I usually have the Threat equate to negative consequences, like the hack was successful but the alarm triggered, or the explosion took out the enemy but now there's a hole in the hull and we're losing atmo. Maybe I should be enforcing more Strain penalties, then.

I would do a mix. If someone rolls 3 threat on something, maybe they suffer 1 strain and set off an alarm.

Strain, like Crits, starts out pretty meaningless but snowballs quickly.

Thanks for the name generator.

How do you guys deal with people being weary of the specialty dice. I had a friend day they souks have just used the d10 system din the 40k books. They're willing to give it a shot but I sort of hope they're not expecting the worse abdominal looking for conformation bias against it.

Tell them to suck it up, the dice work really well, this is one of the tightest systems I've played in.

Anyone had any experience running a large field battle a la Battle of Hoth on this system? I tried to find rules in AoR, and they are scant at best.

They should be out in one of the next supplements, not that it helps now. For Rebels! I abstracted a lot, and turned a lot of groups into groups of minions which helped a lot.

So is there a way to get the character creator to stop being a pile of garbage and stop trying to print postage stamp sized pdfs randomly? So far only thing I can find is back up, uninstall, re-install, etc which is a royal pain in the rear end.

So, if anyone is going to GenCon and needs to get their game on, I'm running six demo games in FFG's RPG room over the course of the con. Two of Edge, two of Age, and two of the new Jedi game. Come throw some dice with me, yo.
