[QUOTE="innerdude, post: 9132088, member: 85870"] 100%. I resisted going to FFG Star Wars for 6 or 7 years because of just how irksome the model was of putting 40% identical content in all 3 "core" rules for EotE, AoE, and FaD. Like, "Why am I paying a premium for the same rules???? This is ridiculous!" But I liked the idea enough of the narrative dice system that I bought Genesys before I bought EotE, thinking, "Shoot, I'll just backport what I want to a Genesys framework." But when it came down to it, there was enough lore in the core books, at least for EotE and FaD, that I eventually broke down and bought them. And then I and my group liked the system well enough that I broke down and bought a bunch of supplements after that, plus 3 sets of dice. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love the system . . . but really, FFG needs a business model that doesn't make it feel like they're dragging me into an alley and mugging me. 🙃 *Edit --- If you want the "Barest of Bare Bones" minimal supplements for a full-fledged FFG Star Wars experience, you can basically make do with Edge of the Empire, Force and Destiny, and the Gadgets and Gear supplement. Unless you really, really, really, want the space craft stats for the Alliance armada ships (X-Wing, A-Wing, Blockade Runner, Mon Calamari cruiser), you really don't need Age of Rebellion. [/QUOTE]
