That means I don't want to run Force and Destiny.  I like the backgrounds and motivations for characters better in Edge of Empire.  I like the taste of the force characters can buy into better in Age of Rebellion.  I also like the Starships better.  I like the raw edge of Edge of Empire though.  I also like the races FAR better in Edge of Empire than I do in Age of Rebellion.I can get all the Starships and vehicles I want from Speeders and Starships so that's an area where Age of Rebellion now loses out, and I think the characters and feel of Edge of Empire will be something I like better overall even if I like the taste of the Force better from Age of Rebellion.  So, I think I'd probably choose Edge of Empire with Speeders and Starships to run.  I can make my own enemies.So, my choice right now is probably Edge of Empire, but if you had to choose, which would it be?</blockquote>
