    Which edition of Star Wars RPG are you currently interested in?

    2e and 5e D&D player and GM and love love love the FFG Star Wars games. Not familiar with the other SW systems but love FFG precisely because the group breadth of interpretation of the dice always leads to an immersive, collective storytelling experience. At least that has been our experience...

    Can Sharpshooter be used with a Net?

    As always, work with your GM. I would have you quest to go visit a magic user who might infuse it with shock or something that you could use once every long rest... but as a player you would have to be cool with the fact that once you use it and word gets out.... that something else may want it...

    D&D 2E Tips? Haven't DMed D&D since 2E

    Started with 2e long ago as well. Been a 5e guy since start of the edotion. Agree with the cat who recommended not going with facing. I would use the system shock and slow natural healing variants (in the DMG). Feels more like home. ;)

    any have any good tips how to do hunting

    Hunting can become a game within a game. I would use it where they really need it to survive... they wear down thier resources... food... water... spells.... health... where the tension is at a level where it will be fun to try to succeed. Fishing...what else is competing for the reaource...

    Help, My players don’t know how to play.

    Perhaps try a different system. I saw one post mentioning it kind of, but 5e is really simple. Gumshoe by Pelgrane Press is also quite easy... it's more about role play and investigative work. Fantasy Flight Games Star Wars is also easy. It's more about interpreting the dice and collectively...

    Looks like a quality product and I'll be interested to see what they do with mechanics but I probably won't buy it. Never know however.

    D&D 5E Running D&D for Brand Spanking New Players

    Start them in a chase scene where they already know each other and they are fleeing through city streets because of some comedic screw up at the wedding they crashed or something. Use the chase rules... they are fun... throw in ability checks as they try to get away... Go straight into a light...

    We're Finally Mainstream! Now What?

    I would look at current DMG sales for all editions. You can then build a very conservative annual estimate based on one game every three weeks or every month x the avg number of hours played (2 or 3... we'll say 2). So... very broad strokes based on some simple net research (...

    D&D 5E After Tyranny of Dragons (OR: What to do with 15+ level PCs?)

    This was what I was leaning toward. Some may die... retire the rest... use one from time to time as a fun NPC encounter.... a kind of "where are they now" opportunity.... you can use that as a handy way to advance or turn a plotline Sent from my SM-N900P using EN World mobile app

    D&D 5E How do players know they are in the "wrong" location in a sandbox campaign?

    I started my group in Red Larch. I told them that the world would be a deadly place where the encounters may not always be "balanced." I told them I use random tables that could swing for or against them. One PC died due to a split party being attacked by a powerful random encounter, but it...
