The systems are so entirely different that any of the mechanical crunch is going to be next-to impossible to directly convert from one system to the other. This has proven true when adapting...

Yeah, Star Wars was never a "top priority" for WotC. Which does make some degree of sense as D&D was the 800 pound gorilla and thus would get the bulk of the attention from WotC's RPG department.

I very much enjoy FFG's system, much more than I did most of the WotC versions.

The production quality on the books has been A+ across the board, particularly in terms of artwork.

The dice...

FFG has put up their product page for the Force and Destiny Beta.

I've had the chance to talk face-to-face with Mister Zahn a couple of times (both at a small convention in Florida that Zrissa used to attend when she lived in that area). He's good people, and I...

The effects would stack, but not the actual bonus.

So the PC would only get the +1 insight bonus to hit on each swing.

Given that you're investing a Force Technique in this (of which a PC will...

It seems like FFG is following the "stats sell books" model, so I doubt we'll see any kind of comprehensive compilation of a given type (starships, species, weapons, etc) until the product line is...

While I'm fairly apathetic where the Clone Wars was concerned, I'm actually interested in what this new series has to offers. Sterling Hershey has noted on his Star Wars Wednesdays that the core...

I think this got mentioned in the Scoundrels novel, but for the life of me can't remember if Tim Zahn went into any detail about it.

Tried skimming through the Wookieepedia article, and it...

The book is out (as of last Friday), and I must say that while it's not super-heavy on the crunch, there's a lot of really neat background stuff about the Corellian Sector (covering far more planets...

I was pretty impressed with Beyond the Rim, though I do generally enjoy Sterling Hershey's writing efforts far more often than not.

Looking forward to this one, particularly with its "Ocean's 11...

Are you referring to Duty as noted for Age of Rebellion, or Obligation?

Obligation's been hit or miss with the fanbase, with some GMs and players loving it, and others loathing it.

Personally,...

It's more of a prolonged adventure, broken up into three parts, with each part being a different setting.

I've not read it in detail (mostly as I correctly suspected the GM of the campaign I'm in...

Sadly, I've no clue on where to find said article.

Which is a shame, as I'd certainly be interested in reading it for a take on that setting that's not influenced by the Prequels.

Anyone with inside info probably had to sign an NDA to get that info, and aren't going to say a word until FFG makes any sort of official announcement.

So right, any talk of a "living campaign"...

I managed to get my copy from the FLGS last Friday (would have been Wednesday, but FedEx frelled up and forgot to put the FLGS' order on the truck for Wednesday deliver).

I'm very impressed with...

Short version: They're no different than any other type of Jedi, aside from the cheese factor of trying to excuse/justify using dark side Force powers without racking up Dark Side Points.

I'm assuming you mean converting Saga Edition material to OCR/RCR versions?

The closest thing you'll find is the RCR-to-SWSE conversion guide that Gary Sarli put together when Saga Edition is...

This got posted up yesterday, and I think it's a decent example of how the character creation rules in the Beta can be used to make a lot more than just "Firefly/Serenity"-esque characters.

Pretty much.

I think that reasoning is also why so many more of Marvel's characters, particularly Spider-Man, seem that much more relatable to readers than DC characters. Marvels' main cast of...

I remember hearing that the deal with Anakin Solo was that George didn't want another Anakin hanging around as he was in the midst of doing the prequels which already had an Anakin. Jacen's story...

While I don't doubt there are the Jedi fanbois/grls that take things too far, it's kind of hard to ignore the cool factor involved with Jedi and lightsabers, especially if you were a kid when the...

Earlier in the thread, someone mentioned that something that needed to happen was to have George Lucas be split from being the guy making all the major decisions for the Star Wars franchise.

So...

I think FFG's new system is bringing quite a few folks back into the fold of Star Wars gaming, and I hope it's a trend that continues for as long as the gaming market is on the "narrative and...
