I was always very happy with d20 Call of Cthulhu, though I couldn't help feeling that it lent itself to a more "pulpy" and action packed play style.

I think these are great, though I might consider trading "Doctor" which is a bit too specific for "Crusader," to emphasis the idea that the character is motivated by his/her dedication to a cause (of course, "crusader" has it's own problems). I loved d20 Modern (apart from the class names), but...

Ugh, the trailer looks terrible.

Huh. Well that's disappointing. He really is a dead ringer though.

There are many worse episodes than "Encounter At Farpoint" (which, I recently found out, also features an early appearance by Peter Dinklege!). If we were to come up with a list of episodes to avoid, I would say a) Anything with Barclay, and b) anything in which Troi and/or her empathic...

Though as bad guys go, he was not really all that bad a guy.

As far at TOS goes, I'd suggest a sampling of the best episodes (for me, episodes like "Mirror, Mirror," "City on the Edge of Forever," "The Trouble With Tribbles," "Amok Time," "The Naked Time," Balance of Terror," and "Space Seed). Also, this http://popcultureasylum.com/startrekepisodes.html

Well, if you're expecting it to be Citizen Kane, you'll probably be disappointed, but as "Comedy Horror," it looks very promising. Plus: Peter Dinklege, Summer Glau, Danny Pudi, Steve Zahn!

I am very much looking forward to getting the book when it comes out! Several other players in my gaming group also backed the Kickstarter, so we'll probably have enough interest to get a regular game going.

I don't have any sense of which cut would be better, but my inclination is to want to see the director's original cut, since that's what the trailer was presumably based on, and the trailer is awesome!

Understood. I fully expect that publishers are going to want me to be more books. I understand that their business model only works well if they have a certain number of people continuing to come back to the well every couple of months for whatever the new product is. As long as it's a good...

Well, I'm trying to compare Star Wars systems to one another as apples to apples, but your point still stands. Though again, my problem isn't with the price per se, its with the difference in price between what I view as being a sort of "core" general toolbox and interesting but not necessary...

I think it makes sense to treat the Death Star as a location, not a ship, but you'd still need X-Wings to do that Death Star scene (at a minimum, I'm not really committed to the idea that you need Y-wings or others at this point though).

The artwork does look genuinely gorgeous, and so perhaps I'll have to pay a visit to my FLGS to check it out in person. But since my usual vehicle for buying RPG stuff these days is online, the physical experience of the book itself is generally the last thing that qualifies as a selling point...

I'll just note that I for one haven't used any phrase like "dirty marketing scheme" to describe my attitude toward the game at any point. I've simply said that, the way that it's being marketed has yet to convince me that it's worth my time and money. I fully accept that others may differ with...

Another thought, as I'm looking at the FFG page for the game, I think one problem with the game as presented at this stage is the price point: I might be able to get behind a product that has what Edge of the Empire has for $20 or even $30, but it's hard for me to justify paying $60 for it, with...

Well, but here again, and particularly for those who are arguing "This is Episode IV" so all is good, If I want to do the trench run, the game should give me tools to do that. It doesn't have to give me tools at this point to do every single solitary thing that ever happened in a star wars...

I think that's what he meant.

OK, well that comforts me to some degree. I'm still going to hold back until I have a chance to see how the whole game is structured. I think I just have a different philosophy of both what makes Star Wars Star Wars and what makes a well designed role-playing game than FFG used in this case...

You can make Obi-Wan? Because without a full fledged set of rules for handling Jedi, I don't see how you can make a good representation of him? Same with Vader and Palpitine.
