[QUOTE="dm4hire, post: 6159873, member: 14848"] My only problem with C7 is that they said they were going to release three core books focused around the different time periods of the setting. I was hoping that meant they were going to come out fairly close then pile on the expansion stuff. Instead they are taking their sweet time cake walking between the core books which wouldn't be so bad, but they are taking forever to release products to support the current one. I say consolidate the last two time periods and put out one more core book and then do all the splat however they want. Give people the chance to play the characters they want now. FFG turned me off by not including Jedi despite it being a nice looking book. However the real downer for me was the development of special dice and then still requiring players to have regular d10s which aren't included in the special dice set. Don't push new mechanics that require gimmicky baubles and require me to spend in addition to that. I understand that most gamers already have d10s, I have well over a 100 of them, but the point is I'm as a GM I have to also think about the investment costs not just for myself but for my players as well. Hidden expenses is not a pleasantry most people will like. Give us everything or give us nothing. As for Star Wars I'm more interested in the Dragon Age conversion that's going on. Less dice and probably a lot better fit mechanic wise. [/QUOTE]
