[QUOTE="TrippyHippy, post: 8429596, member: 27252"] Well, it is happening now. Moreover, it is happening concurrently with the publication of the current version so I don’t see what the consternation is about really. It isn’t Oriental Adventures and it isn’t Kara-Tur. What happens with Star Wars may be conjecture, but there might not be any particular stipulation that indicates which system to use. It may not be a complication - other branded IPs are making use of it, and it could be a new trend we are seeing. The profitability angle presupposes that the current version of the rules is any more profitable than a d20 version, or that in fact d20 Star Wars wasn’t profitable enough. D&D will always be more profitable, but D20 Star Wars may have sold more than the FFG version for all we know. Notably, GW felt that their W40KRPG line wasn’t profitable enough for them, but FFG took on that license with relish. It may just be the case that the same is true of their Star Wars line. [/QUOTE]
