It is an interesting topic, and even if I am not using the prequels it gives me an idea of how the different systems interpret the characters. So what happened to Obi-Wan and R2 in the original movies, negative levels? Energy drains? Jejeje… On a non related note, even having many SWD6 books I...

Hello all… Valhalla, thanks again for the links, I read both adaptations. I was just asking to get a general idea of what other people thought about making other levels count towards Adept casting. I’ll trust you True20-Fu! Diggus see all you told me with your writing! Kudos, jejeje! Valhalla...

I really must find that FATAL/Star Wars adaptation! Sounds like fun… Jejeje! Diggus, I agree with you in that the magic, at least for me, is the feeling that in Star Wars you are seeing a grand vision, a great adventure, the hero’s journey (call it what you may!) set in a great, vast canvas, of...

iwatt we’ll see what Valhalla has to say! My players are usually stomping (insert fantasy opponent here!) head’s! I mostly run Fantasy games peppered by other settings; I hope I can turn the SW adventures into something I can run parallel to the D&D game. eyebeams so me of those elements that...

Glad to see everyone is still here! I’m just getting back from playing D&D with my regular group and I realized they ARE psyched about playing Star Wars. They were facing a REALLY tough encounter (heck they are level 15, encounters should be tough!) with 7 players, 1 follower and 16 antagonists...

Donovan, I’m going to have to give the Lego Star Wars games a try, sound right up my alley. Sabathius42, I agree with your calculation, and yes if one truly goes back to the classic trilogy and listens carefully, the contradictions are there. You can tell there was no master plan, not even the...

Diggus that sounds fun, and takes that special kind of player that will embrace the role-playing aspect of the situation. I can’t complain, I have a great group of dedicated players, many of whom I’ve been playing with for fourteen years, the “new guy” (to the group at least, has only been with...

Pbartender, good pint, but the fact is the PCs will want to be, and I guess should be those plot centric Jedi, and hopefully, non-jedi characters. I am crafting the adventures with the hope that there will be plots and things to do for both jedi and non-jedi characters. Let’s see how it turns...

iwatt, that is another great example of a game mechanic and what it may mean in a story. Moridin, I really had not heard about it, and I’ve been around for a while (shouldn’t really accept that!) Well I am going to sleep it is 4:30 AM my time and I just got back from gaming store; yeah they...

Moridin... I just looked up FATAL on Wikipedia! JEJEJE! Sorry I did not get the joke right away. I feel like such a newb. Looking forward to all those detail in the SAGA edition.

Guys, thanks for the VP/WP explanation, I certainly agree that is grittier and probably fun. I don’t know how well it would work for my party. We are so used to Hit Points that if the Saga rules use them they may be a boon. Two of my players like the VP/WP dichotomy, let’s see. I will give the...

All hail the D20! Jejeje… It certainly seems like it. Back to work after the Holydays. Wish I was in a Galaxy far, far away…

Valhalla, thanks for the explanation. Since I have not run True 20 I may try a one shot adventure with the system to wet my feet. Something simple set in modern times perhaps a horror story. Diggus, and others, was the Vitality/Wound system that wonky? It seemed nice at first glance, although...

dougmander THAT is what I asked for from the person that got me the iPod! Her wallet would have been better off with the Dwarve Forge Sets…

Strangely this year, there was no gamming loot beneath the tree. Can’t complain though! I got lots of other cool stuff, HD LCD TV, surround sound system and an 80g iPod Video… What the heck, I’ll buy myself the gaming stuff! Merry Christmas, happy holidays, to ALL!

ValhallaGH, I realize I did not make myself clear. Type as you think seems not to be generating the desired results. What I meant is that two of my players, who briefly participated in a Mutants and Masterminds game experienced, what they recall as endless fights because everybody made their...

Diggus as far as Jedi power or capabilities lets call them, Donovan is right. I want to portray them as powerful but not as over the top (in my opinion) as in the prequels. When I used to watch the original trilogy Jedis were powerful but still not the indestructible, unstoppable fighters they...

Diggus, interesting… You mentioned some elements that I am also thinking of using for the campaign I’m planning. It will be a total re-imagining of the prequels, and one of the things I’m aiming at is keeping the Jedi more in line with what we see in Episodes 4 to 6 rather than the super jedi...

Well that sad reality is that, except for a brief time in 8th grade, I have been DMing for all male groups going on twenty years now, and I’m not into guys so getting extra xp because of sex is out of the question. I did have a friend in high school who knew I liked a classmate of his. He...

Owen I agree wholeheartedly with that statement, and you have hit the spot with what I feel has been my biggest hurdle with the SW D20 revised rules as they stand. THE PERCEPTION (I realize this may be untrue in actual play with the right combination) of my players is that in the d20 rule set...
