What is this thing? ::googles:: Oh. That sounds weird and wonderful. Is it fantasy? Cyberpunk? Post human?

Out of curiosity, which era or "subgenre" of Star Wars do you usually aim for? The OT stuff is different than the Prequel stuff, and the Jedi stuff is different than the scrappy Rebel or outlaw stuff. I am curious what you aim for, and how the dice make that happen.

Summerland sounds really interesting.

I'm not so sure. Characters in Star Wars, even the "mundane" ones, regularly pull off some amazing feats and skin of their teeth escapes. Without some sort of tool (Savage Worlds Bennies for example) you are subject to the whims of the unmodified dice and that results in a different genre. Genre...

This might belong in Other Media. If so, mods please move. I have been a Fantasy Grounds user for years. I have also had a paid Roll20 account for years but did not use it much (I am one of those people that forgets to cancel it every year. ::sigh:: Anyway) I own both Dragonbane and Marvel...

You know what would be really fun? A bespoke solo Star Wars game built on the Iron/Starforged engine.

My writing music:

I don't even know what you are arguing at this point.

To do that, they need to show it. The Greyhawk mini-setting in the 2024 DMG was a perfect opportunity to limit access to some species, or species class combos, explicitly to emulate OG Greyhawk.

You don't think Star Wars and 5e have similar tones? Huh.

SWADE is my go-to for Star Wars, especially OT era stuff, and you can run it basically out of the core book. That said, I don't want an official Savage Star Wars

I GM'd and used modified canned statblocks (and I did not worry about points when modding those statblocks) so 3E works just as well for me. It was my players that complained.

Sure. I was just saying that folks talking about incompatibility die to (as an example) how 5E 2024 does subclasses feels like things going wonky with the 3.5 switch. I doubt it will have nearly the same impact though, mostly because I don't think people are that concerned.

I was talking about the 3rd party ecosystem.

Out of curiosity, were you using Ultimate Power?

SWADE is great Star Wars. But you can do it out of the box.

That feels extreme.

Star Wars may be the best licensed TTRPG setting there is (IMHO, of course). It has so much built into it that makes for great roleplaying adventure. Obviously, we have seen a number of different Star Wars RPGs over the years, and everyone has their favorite. But if you were the one to decide...

For what it is worth, the Star Trek/X-Men crossover was pretty good, so I would totally perk my ears up for a Star Wars/Marvel crossover.

I don't know what to tell you. We played A LOT of both and 2E was less versatile in character creation.
