In a way, that's already planned. I've given out something similar to Force points as a reward for good heroic roleplaying since way back in 2e. It always seemed better than XP rewards.

Are you kidding? I remember when 3e came out, back when this website's granddaddy first came into existence. There were dozens of house rules suggested for every rumor Eric Noah posted! I'm frankly surprised at the *scarcity* of house rules for Star Wars Saga, even given the excellent quality...

No, unfortunately. I'm still digesting the rules. It won't be my turn to GM for a little while, anyway. Did she purchase a power more than once? When you ran combat at lower levels (say 2/3), how often did she have to spend a force point to use the same ability twice in a row? Say, tossing...

Ahh, see. I just print both pages on a single page (Page Scaling -> Multiple Pages Per Sheet), so I get more information per page. It looks fine, but I can see why the empty space top and bottom might be annoying.

Basically, I'm concerned with the lack of re-use of force powers in combat. Yes, there are ways to get your powers back, but I worry they're too rare or expensive. Therefore, I'm considering the following house rule, essentially an additional bullet to the "Regaining Force Powers" section: - As...

Note: the "official" character sheet prints on 8.5x11 just fine: http://wizards.com/starwars/downloads/SW_charsheet.pdf

I wouldn't go *that* far. I'd say Vig should definitely read the original trilogy (Dragons of Autumn/Winter/Spring) and probably the second trilogy ([X]of the Twins), but should only read the rest if (s)he absolutely loves the setting. But be forewarned, Vig -- the quality (such as it is) goes...

I very much enjoyed the original Dragonlance Trilogy, but I have to agree with some of the critics: it's not the best writing in the world. It does have an interesting plot, characters and setting, however. Overall, it's an enjoyable series. It goes downhill after the second trilogy, and only...

Many of those shots in the video seem in keeping with uses of telekinesis in the prequel movies.

Heh... touche. Allow me to amend: ... don't complain about it and expect anyone to actually take you seriously.

Very well, then, but if you're not going to go see the movie, don't complain about it.

Star Wars RPG: Saga Edition. It's a real page-turner!

Ditto. Races are very Star Wars. The thing is, races in Star Wars -- pod races, swoop races, etc -- tend to be local and are typically broadcast locally (if at all), so the idea of Amazing Race/Survivor with little camera-bots following the different teams around might not fit very well. But...

He would never do that!

Then you missed my point entirely. Forget about the origin of the plot. Forget all about the "SS & FF brands." Forget it all. Go enjoy the movie as a movie. Look for plot, character development, interesting dialog, exciting special effects. Don't stay away from a movie just because it does...

I have no problems with a square book (like I care about bookseller's spacial woes!) -- in fact, even though there's less actual surface area per page, they seem to pack more content in than "normal" sized books (yay, smaller font size!) -- no, my only problem thus far is with the map. Yes, I...

Ahem. I'd just like to say the following: Spiderman gets bitten by a genetically modified spider? Wait, he squirts his own web out of his wrist, rather than making it in the lab? There's no Tom Bombadil? No Barrow Wights? Jar Jar? *gasp* Midichlorians? Ok, I take that last...

Ooooh, christmas presents!

I really like this idea, *especially* if you play up the whole "finding out where to go next" aspect, making each stop a full-scale quest to find the next clue, and where each clue is itself a riddle that the PCs need to figure out. You could create branches, embedding clues to two separate...

Better wording: Make a Use the Force check. (DC: 255 -- the guy wanted to force-choke the Death Star. I told him that didn't make any sense at all, but he whined until I let him roll the dice)
