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.

I don't have my books in front of me, but what games like Champions and M&M 2E did was make Powers as broad as possible and then pile on modifiers so you could actively build any power you wanted. 3E reduced the number and complexity of modifiers for ease of use, which has its value, but in...

I LOVE Brave New World in that 90s way. My favorite thing about it was it was the first game I remember where you chose to do cool stuff (stunts? tricks?) AFTER you rolled, rather than the old school punitive mechanics for trying cool stuff. It is pretty dated now and I always have hoped there...

Did you play 2E? Its chargen was much more robust.

JLU was explicitly about showcasing all the weird edge cases in the DCU.
