[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 9149857, member: 50987"] Gotta be honest here: the last time I played this game system was back in the late 80s at the height of the Satanic Panic. A lot of my friends weren't allowed to play D&D because of whatever Overreacting Parental Control Group happened to be using the loudest megaphone at the moment...so we begrudgingly played something else instead (Star Wars). It was so long ago, and for such a short time, and I was just a kid...so out of fairness I voted "I've never played it." The only thing I remember about it was the TONS of six-sided dice that were needed. And I remember this being a good thing, too, because d20s were a no-no. (Parents had been told to keep an eye out for "games that use strange dice," and since Star Wars only used d6s, our parents wouldn't accuse us of playing "The Devil's Game." It was [I]rough [/I]being a TTRPG gamer in the American South in the 1980s, I tell ya.) And I remember if you rolled a 6, you got to keep it and roll it again (it "exploded"), over and over again until you stopped rolling sixes...but that's about it. I always thought that was a cool mechanic. Nowadays, when I want to play Star Wars, I use [URL='https://sw5e.com/']SW5E.[/URL] It's free, and all my friends are already familiar with the rules.
