I think it might depend on the class. Case in point, there's been some grumbling from the D&D DM of the last campaign I played in of running another one, potentially under Paizo's "3.55" (I'm sorry, it's too bloody similar to 3.5 to call it 3.75 at this point) but using the same characters from...

Yeah, but it does have Force Points and Destiny Points, so it can either spend a FP to be rendered unconscious instead of dead or a DP to make the attack "miss" ;)

I'm probably gonna end up getting lambasted for this sooner or later... But as far as Paizo's Pathfinder goes... big fat hairy deal. Granted this based on the "Alpha Book 1," but reading through it feels less like a the much touted "3.75e" that seems to be all the buzz and more like "3.51e."...

You know, I'm sorely tempted to try a one-on-one with Darth Rancor vs. Jedi Master Donovan Morningfire (Jedi 9/Sct 1/JK 4/JM 1) to see who's the "top dog" between the two. I'm also guessing this was more of an intellectual exercise than something that players were seriously intended to confront?

Skimmed through Pathfinder Alpha... And to be honest really wasn't impressed. I'll probably end up suggesting these to a friend of mine the next time he runs a D&D campaign as he's not convinced on making the move to 4e. But otherwise... maybe it's just my having played almost nothing but SW...

Finally got around to compiling all the generic NPCs that I've put together over the months since Saga Edition was released into a single PDF file. My Big List of SWSE NPCs v1.2 So download and enjoy. Edit: Version 1.2 is up, and is a d20 radio download.

Maybe it's just me, but running a "non-optimized" Jedi against an "optimized" fighter (and lets' face it, the delve characters were built to take best advantage of their classes' cool new 4e features) doesn't seem like a level playing field. My rule of thumb from testing various builds against...

I've been listening to that one quite as well, and though I may not always agree with some of the assessments that GM Chris or GM Dave make, they've offered up some pretty interesting insights into the Saga Edition rules, particularly on their segments on the base classes. The forum is pretty...

Doesn't have much to do with raise dead, but this really irks me. I can only assume you've done nothing more than give the Saga Edition destiny rules a passing glance at best, or are relying on second-hand knowledge considering how ill-informed this view on SWSE's Destiny Mechanics are...

Well, they have an Imperial Outposts set of tiles slated for next month, so there's at least one more set on the horizon.

Funny, that's exactly how I read the ability to work in the first place *scratches head* Doesn't make sense otherwise *shrugs*

Mind you I'm looking at this from a Star Wars RPG perspective... Waves upon waves upon waves of stormtroopers. They pretty much are one-hit wonders in Saga Edition as is (especially to higher level heroes), but still... Though the zombie idea does have its own merits :)

The trick isn't throwing yourself at the ground. It's throwing yourself at the ground and missing ;) In so far as "dropping prone" as a swift/minor action or free action, it's not so much that nobody could do it as a free action whether trained or untrained. It's more a matter of doing it and...

In so far as the halfling pally goes, it could well be that in most of the original playtests, the folks playing the paladins simply didn't use such a cowardly tactic. Most folks that I've seen play paladins play them as the stand-up and stand tall do-gooders that lead from the front. I've...

Though we had made the call long before Mr. Gygax's passing, we had opted to give the 4e rules a test run using the Scalegloom sample characters. The GM dedicated our session "to the memory of E. Gary Gygax, Patron Saint of Gaming," and when making a (perceived) critical roll, would utter "I...

Granted I didn't read the thing word from word, but the feeling I came away with was "ungrateful." Maybe towards the recent times Gygax wasn't the end-all and and be-all of gaming, but if it wasn't for his contributions, Mr. Snyder would quite likely be doing something else entirely. Sort of...

Given that this is one of the men ultimately responsible for their livelihood, they'd have to have their heads planted so far up their nethers to have not done any form of tribute. They did have the black splash page with 1e stylings announcing Mr. Gygax's passing whenever you visited the main...

Probably has to do with the stereotype of the average "gamer" being a bearded, out of shape, and unsanitized slob that's going to spend more time hitting on them than playing the game. And while this may have been true a couple decades ago, gamers these days have changed, but as is frequently...

I managed to score the SW mangas a long time ago from a local Waldenbooks before they went under, and really enjoyed the stylism of the art, particularly the Adam Warren covers. It is bloodier than most Star Wars comics we see, but the article analysis had it right in that the manga versions...
