JediSoth said:I guess part of my problem now is having seen the $40 cover price. It took considerable time to get most of the books of the previous edition because I though they were overpriced. I don't remember the WEG version being that much more expensive than other RPGs.
You might consider ordering through Amazon or Walmart.com, then, as the price there is around $26.
Personally, I picked it up and I like it. I find the game mechanics around Force powers to be an outstanding integration of various D20 mechanics, and I like a great majority of the streamlining. I think my only problem really is that grenade-style attacks don't have an attack roll, but instead are treated in the same manner fireball is (i.e. an auto-hit on the area, and a Reflex check for half damage), and I'm smart enough to be able to add that back in. I really think Saga is a step forward in RPG design for WOTC, as it holds a good number of what I would consider to be "second generation" evolutions in the D20 System. Some of it is stuff I'd use for D&D, while some of it definitely is not. (It works for Star Wars, but not necessarily for D&D.)
Just a thought,
