Fortunately, Level Up has nothing to do with 5.5.

Level Up has rules for cannon fodder-type creatures (similar to minion rules but less narrative to my mind).

It's funny, I love The One Ring and don't have much interest in their other games, and almost all those other games use the Year Zero system, or something else very different from TOR.

Agreed. This and a few Discords for games I like are the only socials I follow.

I think you're allowed to know about what people are saying about this stuff and still enjoy the games these folks make. What you're saying sounds like judgement against any OSR fan with access to the internet.

I'd use Level Up, particularly it's Voidrunner's Codex sci-fi supplement, modified with material from other 5e-based games (including the aforementioned Star Wars 5e). Oh wait, I already do that! Wrote up a bunch of Star Wars fighters as well.

There's already a Star Wars 5e out there. People could just play that. It's a pretty cool and well-supported game, if unofficial (not that that matters IMO).

Not a thing for @Belen it seems, and I suspect others feel the same. None of any of that should have anything to do with how you, I, or anyone else feels. We all make our own choices.

I suspect the average OSR fan doesn't give much thought to these issues. They just enjoy the games for themselves. That's pretty much where I and my DCC and Shadowdark players stand.

It was an interesting novel. I remember Deanna Troi being floored by Xavier's abilities, and everyone noting a certain resemblance between the Professor and the Captain.

Can you provide some examples? Like I said, I came in for 3e, and while it wasn't HERO it gave a lot of options I thought, especially once you got more books in the line.

So long as you can reasonably model mechanically the world of Star Wars and everything in it, I'm good with whatever company has the license.

Sure. I've said my piece on it. Not that I see any issue with expressing a negative opinion. They're worth just as much as a positive one.

I never played 2e, but I love 3e's Power Profiles.

No, I was basing my conclusion on what you said. Not a fan of narrative games, although I allow some room for genre emulation for supers. I still prefer mechanics to focus mainly on modeling the world of the game.
