Well, since TIE Fighters and the YT-1300fp are both in the book, I'd say yeah(though the stock YT-1300 doesn't have quad-cannons; that was one of the Falcon's modifications). As for the price, I think you'd have to hold the book in hand to understand. This thing is 443 pages of pure...

Strictly speaking, EotE takes place between ANH and ESB, so that would be one reason why there would be no details concerning the Death Star(the other, obviously, being that such information would be outside the scope of a scum and villainy focused product). That said, in a scenario such as the...

It's true. Disney could pull the license. You can't base a product development schedule on the fear of the possibility that your license could be taken away though. If anything, that would simply be an argument against publishing licensed IP in the first place.

I believe he is referring to the absence of percentile dice, which they game does call for occasionally, and that is a valid complaint. Granted, the vast majority of people interested in EotE already have d10s, but that shouldn't have been an assumption that FFG made when planning the dice set.

If that's your take on it, so be it. It's cynical, pessimistic, and you're basically calling them liars, so I have less respect for that opinion, but it's yours to have. It doesn't seem to hold to reason though. If they were trying to milk the fans, WotC pretty much showed a better way to do...

And I think that is a perfectly sensible stance to take. I don't share it personally, but I can certainly respect it.

I know this wasn't directed at me, but I thought I would point out that you are getting full blown Jedi. Just not in EotE. I've said it before in this thread, but I'm mostly interested in the Galactic Civil War aspect of Star Wars, so I'm not getting my favorite part of the saga yet either...

Here is the reason that I find it difficult to take the Jedi Now! argument seriously. Note that I do not believe this viewpoint to be held by the majority even among those complaining, nor am I pointing at anyone specific in this particular thread. It is, however, a viewpoint that has come up...

Well you could just not buy EotE and wait. Then when Force and Destiny comes out, buy or don't buy the game on its own merits.

I don't think it's so much that FFG showcased their game badly, but rather that a lot of people are responding in a knee-jerk fashion to information that didn't come from FFG in the first place. Just in case that's what's going on here, I'll go ahead and link a couple of the things FFG put out...

Reading EotE has made me never want to touch Saga Edition again, so I'd say that the designers did their job quite well.

My source is EotE. The game is well designed and is very good at the specific thing it is designed for. There are plenty of interviews and dev journals describing the process that FFG went through to make sure that EotE came out the way they wanted it to. Are you trying to say that they would...

On the other hand, what happens when you add the Jedi? You have a space opera plus a few Errol Flynn action sequences and a bit of hand waving. Or game breaking super powers. Depends on whether the game is aiming for Lucas' Jedi or Troy Denning's. Either way, it's really nothing original...

Allow me to describe a game that is designed to handle Magic wielding knights with laser swords, gun toting thieves, and soldiers and pilots warring over the fate of a galaxy within the span of a single book: generic. The WotC games had little going for it other than a well known core mechanic...

I think that it is worth mentioning that Age of Rebellion and Force and Destiny are not going to be expansions of Edge of the Empire, but rather compatible stand alone games. Just as EotE is FFG's "Adventure on the Fringe" game, so will AoR be a dedicated "Rebels vs Empire" game, and F&D a...

I don't think many of the JEDI NOW! crowd would want very much to play in my games. I treat Jedi like paladins in Ravenloft(D&D reference). Every slope is slippery, and falling to the dark side is incredibly easy. The Jedi are an order of ascetics for a reason, and players that try to go the...

Well that's good to hear. Looking forward to the game's release. :)

Unfortunately, I was broke when the Kickstarter was on, and I can't preorder now because a trip to my nearest FLGS would require a $1000+ plane ticket. So I'll just have to wait until the game is out and hope that the dead tree version can be bought online at that time.

I voted no at first, but then I remembered that I picked up Kerberos Club: FATE Edition and Strands of FATE. So yeah.

This is the biggest problem with trying to run creatures with the same rules as PCs. It doesn't matter that animals are not very intelligent. We have reason. They have instinct. Both work. Problem solved.
