    Good d6 books for Star Wars SAGA

    Galaxy Guide #9: Fragments from the Rim This is probably one of the best background/fluff sourcebooks that WEG ever put out, and it covers a wide gamut of material, from Rebels to Imperials to Bounty Hunters to slang to drinks to media and even some Force-stuff thrown into the mix. Some other...

    Good Starship for a Jedi

    How about the HWK-290? (Force Unleashed guide, pg118) Decent starting speed, lots of hit points (useful for space combat), good starting armament, minimal crew and space for a few passengers (about your average party size plus a couple others). Also has a heck of a Dexterity score that blows...

    Transformers 2 TV spot

    Big Robots Fighting? Check Gratiutous Explosions? Check Paper-Thin Plot? Most likely Sounds and looks like it's going to be exactly as advertised, a Michael Bay summer action flick that asks the audience to put their brains on auto-pilot and enjoy the fireworks. I'll probably go see it, but...

    SW Saga Ed House Rules... Unleashed!

    Agree completely, which is the main reason it's tucked in the back with a disclaimer citing just that.

    New (AVATAR) Episodes Begin Again Tonight In USA

    Probably not until it has been turned into a smoldering crater, turning the moronic movie execs into so much ash, and has been rebuilt from the ground up. I was wondering why this thread got rez'd. As for a follow-up movie to the TV series, I think that there's enough loose ends to make for a...

    SW Saga Ed House Rules... Unleashed!

    To be honest, the vast majority of them are personal taste additions, both mine and from some of my fellow local players both past and present. Personally, I've found there's not a whole lot of things that truly needed to be fixed with Saga Edition. Probably also would be fair to warn you that...

    SW Saga Ed House Rules... Unleashed!

    Okay, been a week and only one comment so far. Anyone else have any thoughts on these? What works, what doesn't, and most importantly why? I'm interested to hear and discuss what the folks at ENWorld think (provided the conversation remain civil).

    one hit kills, unsatisfying?

    I have to agree with the sentiment of "it depends." Being more of a Star Wars GM, I've seen it where the players have great fun taking out hordes of mooks (be they stormtroopers or battle droids) with a single attack. There's something to be said upon seeing a Wookiee pugilist charge into a...

    Clone Wars Campaign Guide

    Okay, let's see if the ENWorld servers will actually let me post a reply this time. Yeah, Fett clones are pretty much baseline humans aside from what I listed above. As for Republic Commandos, they get a generic Clone Commando stat block, which has at least one goof in that they don't have...

    SW Saga Ed House Rules... Unleashed!

    Main reason was nobody was really using it in the games I either ran or played in. The one player that figured they'd routinely be making Jump checks was a Jedi and chose to just take Surge as one of their powers and use that valuable trained skill for something else (like Perception in this...

    Clone Wars Campaign Guide

    Ah. That I can help with. As it turns out, creating a PC Fett clone is pretty much the same as creating a Human PC. The only big difference is that as a clone your ability scores are all set to a default value (presumably based on Jango Fett at 1st level), though you get a small boost you can...

    SW Saga Ed House Rules... Unleashed!

    The .rar extension is because I zipped the file using WinRAR instead of WinZip, which is something that caused far more than it's fair share of grief. Lesson learned, and further installments will be packaged using the .zip extension. And speaking of further installments, stay tuned to this...

    Clone Wars Campaign Guide

    Turns out I forgot a view other races that were tucked away in the book. Also included are the Chagrians (Mas Amedda, Darth Wyyrlok), Umbarans (Sly Moore), and Geonosians. There's also rules for playing Fett clones (pretty much humans with a default set of ability scores which can be tweaked a...

    Clone Wars Campaign Guide

    New races (and character examples): Dugs (Sebulba) Gen'Dai (Durge, but not quite as powerful as him) Iktochi (Saesee Tinn) Kaleesh (Grievious' race before he got a Full Borg Conversion) Kaminoan Kerkodian (General Loathsom of the Clone Wars movie) Nautolans (Kit Fisto) Nelvaanians (the primitive...

    So, has everyone pretty much given up on Smallville?

    I gave up on the show about a third of the way through the 6th season, and this after being a faithful viewer since it's launch. For me, it just got the point that watching the show felt more like a chore when I could instead be doing something else I enjoyed doing. Personally I though Season...

    Clone Wars Campaign Guide

    Scored my copy last night, and there's plenty of info to be had from not only the 3D series, but also stuff from the 2D series and other bits of the EU. The follower mechanics are pretty neat in concept and look pretty simple in how they work. Haven't really delved into the mass combat rules...

    Brainstorming a non-Jedi Force user

    My suggestion would be to go straight Noble, as very few of the Jedi class talents relate directly to Force-usage, and you'll have more than enough skills to play around with opposed to the Jedi getting a paltry two skills to start with. I'm assuming human, so take Force Sensitivity as one of...

    SW Saga Ed House Rules... Unleashed!

    Mainly that Ride is Dexterity-based, where Athletics is generally Strength-based. Gneech, Thanks for the offer, but since it's not a system I use (I'm generally pretty happy with how the XP system is laid out in the corebook), I won't be adding it to my document.

    Forked Thread: Star Wars: WEG D6 v. Saga/D20?

    Well, if everyone's in the same general skill range, then it's not an issue as everyone is around the same level. It's a problem when you've got one guy that hyper-focused in a type of blaster to get 10D by the 10th session where everyone is has a around a 5D, meaning he's going to dominate the...
