Anyone who got a demo of Federation Space might have met me lol. That was super fun (and not just cause I helped write the Almanac with all the deep star trek nerdery in it). Most days we had both maps full and folks seemed to love it.

I think you misunderstood something. The only career-less specialization in the book is a new Force Sensitive specialization. Then there are new careers, with 3 specializations each, just like in EotE. Ace with Driver, Gunner and Pilot Commander With Commodore, Squad Leader and Tactician...

Man, appears I was more tired the last night of the Con than I thought lol.

I bought this the first day of the Con. I've been working there but have had a chance to look at it some. Duty and Obligation seem compatible, as in you could have both. Duty is more like your rank in the Rebellion. There are some repeated sections, but there would kind of have to be, for the...

Deuce- Jenny Hex is who you want. By the end of the game, she has 3 different area effect spells, along with heal and several buff spells (earlier hirelings gradually get better over the course of the game). I hired her every time. On linearity- it certainly was- but I chalked that up to...

I quite liked the game. The campaign was about worth the $20 I paid for it, and I plan to return for mods later. I loved the mechanics, but I have never played the tabletop shadowrun in my life, and have no idea how they compare. But I found it a great little diversion that I will happily...

I humbly suggest you mine Modern20- I might have done some of the work for you. http://www.rpgnow.com/product/50695/Modern20?manufacturers_id=33

I ran it for many years, and wrote many of those 3rd party support supplements. It's a great system. I actually miss it, but currently have two other campaigns and not enough time for THOSE.

They get bonus skills, and stat modifiers. It's pretty similar to d20. But to run a bar fight, you do not need that much information. To me, that's a feature, not a bug.

Well, I don't have the book with me at the moment, but here's what the faq says on their website:

And a lot of those crazy things PCs want to do are not covered in ANY RPG. So complaining about this one seems a bit odd to me. If my Forgotten Realms PCs wanted to do something they saw in Neverwinter Nights, it probably won't be covered in the rules. It's why GMing is an art. Also- there are...

Yes- and the X-Wing is the one thing that is not in the book that I think really should be there. My guess is their thought is that it's advanced military gear of the rebellion and PCs who are smugglers wouldn't have it. For the record- my campaign is nothing like A New Hope and the game is...

Getting everything for D&D 3e would indeed cost quite a bit more. If you are dedicated to get everything, RPGs are always expensive. When I look at the price, if I buy all three books, that means I am still running the game 3 years from now. That's $5 a month. Where else could I get this much...

You did not read it closely then. It specifically says it takes place after Star Wars, but right after. And I am using Main Character, yes. There is only so much you can put in a book. There are some places where the game master has to step in and add minor things, like a playable Jawa race...

The book is full color, and 448 pages, hardcover. Also, the starship combat rules are good, and you could indeed play the scene where the Falcon fights tie-fighters. It has some ground vehicles, some snub fighters, some freighters, and some smaller capital ships. It does not have advanced...

All the characters in Star Wars are human, except for the Wookie and the Droids. If you want to make "original characters", you have races for that in Edge of the Empire: Twi'Leks, Gand, Trandoshans, Rodians. Just because it doesn't have EVERYTHING in one book, does not mean the book is...

I would give it a shot myself. I've been running it regularly, and it has everything my PCs have wanted. And one of my PCs is playing a force user- and he is very happy with the Force rules. There are full rules for how the Force works and a Rogue Force User character specialization.

Again- I would argue Obi-Wan is as much a PC as Darth Vader myself. He keeps the story moving, provides exposition, then goes off on a side mission while the last remaining member of the party is introduced (Leia) and then, his function in the adventure over, he conveniently dies.

What does Obi-Wan do with the Force in Star Wars? He uses a lightsaber. Check, that is in Edge of the Empire. He does the Jedi Mind Trick. In there. He distracts some Stormtroopers. Check. Yes, you can make Ob-Wan. He is old and washed up. Everything he ACTUALLY DOES in the movie Star Wars...

You can make every character in Star Wars using these rules. Leia is a Colonist with the Politico Specialization. Han is a Smuggler with Pilot specialization. Chewie is a Technician. Luke is a Colonist with the Force User specialization. Obi-Wan is a hired gun with the Force User Specialization...
