Message: <blockquote data-quote="delericho" data-source="post: 7683860" data-attributes="member: 22424">How many other RPGs even have four previous editions? There's Call of Cthulhu (which deliberately had only small changes each time), Shadowrun, and Star Wars (but see below). Maybe Vampire, if you include the Dark Ages line. Any others? It's actually pretty rare for an RPG to get even a second edition, never mind a fifth.Plus, of course, 5e was deliberately pitched as something of a "unity edition", the one where players from 1st Ed, 3.5e, and 4e could all happily find a home.About nine, depending on how you count them: WEG 1st and 2nd, plus maybe "Second Edition, Revised and Expanded"; three from WotC (the first one, the RCR, and SWSE); and now FFG's three complementary game lines (Edge of the Empire, Age of Rebellion, Force and Destiny).Star Wars is an odd case, since the game has been licensed to three separate companies. It may not even be possible for FFG to provide conversion guides from WEG or WotC, depending on how the licenses were worded.(Certainly there are examples of this in other areas: MWP can't provide official conversions from their old Serenity game to their new Firefly game because of the licenses involved - they are required to keep them entirely firewalled from one another.)</blockquote>
