Obi Wan isn't prominent prequel trilogy character? I don't see how if I'd listed Captain Panaka, Jango Fett, and Obi Wan Kenobi it would have made a difference to my point. Or Captain Rex if you prefer. Either way, all in the same universe meaningfully together and also capable of interacting...

I've been running Star Wars as an RPG for the last 4 years or so and I guess I'm not a guy that puts as much attention to the details as you, but I don't see it. I will say this though, the RPG won't feel like Star Wars to me if you can't have Obi Wan Kenobi, Han Solo, and Cassian Andor...

Setting obviously. At times, tone, in that one is rated "PG" and the other rated "R" and so there are certain topics that are handled more graphically and less sensitively in one than the other. Pulp Fiction is trying to hit you in the face with blood splatter, and Star Wars typically is more...

I don't make a distinction nor do I agree that they are different. I assume that the only difference between scrappy Andor and Obi Wan Kenobi in the prequels is the level of the character (as it were). And in general, the dice pools do seem to make this happen as large dice pools make for...

Isn't this true of adapting all fiction to a game though? In the fiction, the characters have plot protection always. That is, whatever happens to them is ultimately just the whim of the author. But in no game does the character have plot protection always. They are always subject to the...

I detest 2D20. Personally, I think the answer is D6 with hit points and levels (of a sort) plus much more rigorous balancing of the supplemental content like races, equipment, vehicles, etc. After running D6 for about 4 years I'm beginning to see where the system needs to go. Maybe in four...

It's a con-vention.

I do what the particular group wants. This group in session zero thirteen years ago now expressed very strong desires for linear play with a strong narrative hooks and not for open ended play where they create the fun, probably because the few then experienced players had had bad experiences...

In space combat, suits leak.

So does this world preexist your attempts to make it more fey? It's going to increase the difficulty of giving you advice because fitting into existing world building is challenging. In addition to Swedish and British Isles centered folklore, may I recommend you look into Japanese folklore as...

So, do by "this world" do you mean "the (nominally) real world" or do you mean some fantasy gameable D&D world. A lot of the things that I would have recommended to you involve living in Fairie or at least exploring it, but the immediate recommendation for something a bit numinous and fey is...

Around the time this post was originally written, I divided the Ranger into two classes - the Explorer a jack-of-all-trades focused on movement ability, navigation, and two-handed fighting and the Hunter focused on ranged weapons and killing things. Potentially shared stealth and survival, but...

I think you'd get more response if you gave us a longer summary of what you are thinking. Like, why do you want to do "fey things" and what is your existing inspiration (your "Appendix N" if you would like). For example, are you more Spiderwick Chronicles or Brothers Grimm. Is this Darbie...

Interstellar rescue mission? Space spiders.

Regional where? In the Midwest they tend to be corned beef and cabbage, and in some parts of the Midwest that cabbage is sauerkraut, but I've never heard a pork and sauerkraut. Are you back in the "old country" or are you in a place old enough that it retained the old country traditions...

Well, seeing as my usual teams are flops this year, better an SEC team win than anyone else.

That's some mighty fine looking eats. I'll be eating something similar tomorrow. Usually, we end up making a Hoppin' John or a Jollop Rice because my family (well one side of it) is Cajun and also "Geuax Tigers!" but I think we'll probably just go back to basics this year.

One of the hardest things about being a superhero is one of the things they almost never worry about - being at the right place at the right time to actually do good with a power set that is heavily focused on "beats people up good". The truth is if you were just doing the Batman thing and...

Obligatory request for you in 2026 to get the Tortall license and publish a Tortall sourcebook for knightly adventures using the Pendragon rules adapted to the different culture. Please take my money.

I would truly love more discussion of this because I've tried to read the rules and they make my eyes just glass over. Something about the presentation just turns me off at every level, and yet I'm not fully happy with WEG D6 and would be interested in looking at other rule sets or at least...
