Do you plan to grab the new Star Wars Saga book to use for D&D?

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

This year, D20 Star Wars is getting a big revamp, including streamlined skills, fewer classes (with the other classes being replicated as class abilities or feat chains) and combat revisions. A lot of people are wondering if this is a glimpse at a possible 4E for D&D or perhaps if it'll just be a good source of ideas for their own D&D games.

How many people are planning on picking up the new book primarily as a D&D/D20 resource?

One of our players said he might run this so I'm definately going to pick it up. Whether or not I mine the book for D&D ideas really depends on what I read.

 

[delericho]

No. I plan to get it, but not for that purpose.

I'm picking it up because Rodney Thompson wrote it and it's star wars. While I think Rodney is a great writer I highly doubt that he's secretly working on 4e or laying down the ground work for it.

Chances are low that I will pick it up, though I would mine it for D&D ideas if I did.

There's always the possibility of parallel evolution or Rodney and Owen (it is Owen as his partner, right?) picking up some cues from WotC's thoughts about a (theoretical) 4E. Certainly many of the Star Wars changes, like streamlined skill sets, are among changes people often talk about wanting in 4E and got to a certain degree in 3.5.

The revisions sound great, and I'd love to get it, but I'd need to find a SW game to justify getting it... I already have enough gaming books that I never use!

 

[Wystan]

I am considering it. But I cannot bring myself to GM as I know that I am Mony Hall...Haul...whatever....

I'll definitely pick it up, but intend to use it for Space Opera. Although I like the force system as a streamlined magic system, I'm a bit too lazy to extend it enough to be viable for fantasy use.

I originally had little interest in it, but I am intrigued by the streamlined skill system. I think the 3e skill systems is pretty good (and certainly far better than the old non-weapon proficiencies), but it still seems not quite there.
