[QUOTE="Jhaelen, post: 7663947, member: 46713"] I've initially been put of by the bulk of the rulebooks, as well. However, once I started reading them, it wasn't that bad. I actually like the repetition of some key rules, since it means you're more likely to find the rule when searching for it. I'm currently reading 'Edge of the Empire' and 'Age of Rebellion' in parallel, comparing them chapter by chapter. I felt it's a bit bold, that they're selling you roughly 60% of the same content three times (if you're including 'Force and Destiny' in the count). However, there's small differences everywhere that remind you which of the books you're currently reading, e.g. for races that are included in both rule books, you get different descriptions, pointing out how they fit into a campaign for EotE or AoR, respectively. Although I haven't played it yet, I think, I like the custom dice system. It's less complicated than I initially thought, and the books give plenty of good examples on how to interpret the results. The only thing I slightly dislike are the dice themselves: If you're buying a starter set or a dice set, you don't even get enough dice for a single character! That's why I'll be using the dice app, instead. [/QUOTE]
