2e and 5e D&D player and GM and love love love the FFG Star Wars games. Not familiar with the other SW systems but love FFG precisely because the group breadth of interpretation of the dice always leads to an immersive, collective storytelling experience. At least that has been our experience...

Sure. Started in 1978. Lemme know how I can help.

As always, work with your GM. I would have you quest to go visit a magic user who might infuse it with shock or something that you could use once every long rest... but as a player you would have to be cool with the fact that once you use it and word gets out.... that something else may want it...

Started with 2e long ago as well. Been a 5e guy since start of the edotion. Agree with the cat who recommended not going with facing. I would use the system shock and slow natural healing variants (in the DMG). Feels more like home. ;)

Hunting can become a game within a game. I would use it where they really need it to survive... they wear down thier resources... food... water... spells.... health... where the tension is at a level where it will be fun to try to succeed. Fishing...what else is competing for the reaource...

Start them in a chase scene where they already know each other and they are fleeing through city streets because of some comedic screw up at the wedding they crashed or something. Use the chase rules... they are fun... throw in ability checks as they try to get away... Go straight into a light...

Twitch can work as well... have them see an example of play Sent from my SM-N900P using EN World mobile app

I would look at current DMG sales for all editions. You can then build a very conservative annual estimate based on one game every three weeks or every month x the avg number of hours played (2 or 3... we'll say 2). So... very broad strokes based on some simple net research (...

This has been great!! Thanks to all!! Keep 'em coming!
