General star wars talk/discussion/complaining

[doctorbadwolf]

I recently did a simple 5E based Star Wars RPG based on the first SW d20 rules (the ones with Wounds and Vitality). There are plenty more complex and comprehensive versions about on the internet (heck, you could use Esper Genesis* if you want something published, the QuickStart is free on DTRPG).

*Esper Genesis isn’t SW but it’s very adjacent and you could use it for a non-standard setting like the High Republic or suchlike.

Sadly I have no idea how well all of these work (not least my own game) and what might be more or less annoying about them.

Thanks. I had forgotten about Esper Genesis.

Thanks. I had forgotten about Esper Genesis.

There’s also Hyperlanes, which is similar but doesn’t have its own Mass Effect like setting IIRC. It’s notable for Gambits (basically, spell-like abilities for non-psychic characters that let you pull off action film manoeuvres), a wide range of monsters and other enemies with Weaknesses you can discover and exploit, and the most impressive HP creep I’ve ever seen in a d20 game.
