I can agree with that, it was very simple and allowed a lot of plug and play of any type of character. I think the One Ring and your port of the system allows much more light side/dark side importance with shadow and a grittier more original trilogy type of combat.

Not a fan of the old d6 Star Wars? That's my absolute favorite, but long out of print. There's a community-updated rulebook called Re-UP

I look forward to hearing more about the system and your adventures as you guys continue!

Keep em coming! I've been thinking about how fitting TOR would be for a star wars game for months. Love what you have so far. I'm going to test run a scoundrel game and then a Jedi game, take it through thegrinder with my group.

How about... One of the PCs? After quests versus all of the likely baddies, a PC dies. Only to return as the BBEG all along.

This is such a great setting. I wish it had more interest, but nearly everyone seems glued to the community outrage threads. Definitely look into and try out the Numenara setting when you have time. Truly amazing work and I wish it had the love of an official D&D setting.

You don't realize the hypocrisy of that. You're basically telling someone else, who wants those things in their game, to now have to do the work to add it back to their games. I don't want to walk 20 feet to my mailbox. I remove it, so now the mailman walks the 20ft for me. People who know...

The issue isn't so much about it being impossible, but of some wanting it to be the only possibility in the book. Having played the game for decades now, I've sampled/played iterations of every race and varying origins from the PHB norm. They are all valid. Add more, remove none.

You cut out some important language of my quote. Casting it aside by completely removing it. I'm 100% for the racial entries adding more options of each race's heritage beyond the norm. But don't just delete the original. Add more. Some of the loudest voices when stuff removed. Deleted from...

The background of many D&D races, and their origins in other fantasy depictions, is heavily-steeped in the gods and their offspring/creations. Casting it aside to be removed completely is very close-minded. It's just a different take on the original complaint.

My half-mind flayer is a person, and his name is Anakin. Citizens of Waterdeep will be welcoming this good-natured character with open arms.

An example of why things shouldn't just be removed: One of my offline group members is of Roma descent. His favorite setting? Ravenloft. The reason? Vistani He loves their Romani touch(due to his heritage) and their supernatural atmosphere. Another Roma thinks they're insensitive and wants...

facepalm Half-elves are the spawn of.. Elves, right? A civilized species from a civilized deity. They are also Gold, Blue, White, Gray, Black, etc. Depending on their environment. Half-orcs and Tieflings are the spawn of monsters. Demons, devils and a fell race of a dread God of slaughter...

Publicly burning a bridge of the magnitude Orion has done, in an already small industry, was probably the worst decision for finding more freelance work or landing a permanent position. Regardless of who is in the wrong or how truly wrong anyone's actions were, he definitely didn't think of the...

A species in a fantasy world, brought into being by an evil god, with a bloodline thinned to the point of having an option to be a player character, with the lore stigma of having ancestors of evil God spawn. ..Is racist? Forcing a real world judgment on a fantasy concept to create a connection...
