Industrygothica's "Those Left Behind" [OOC]

[Leif]

Yeah, the black book, square with Vader alone on the cover is the main book for Saga Edition. If you get books from the prior edition, they're awesome for a lot of additional information and only require a bit of conversion.

Yeah, that's the one! Good to know I"m bidding on the right thing. That auction does not end until Friday or Saturday. The other three books are, well, I've already forgotten most of them, but one is some kind of Jedi Sourcebook thing?

Just to make 100% sure, Friadoc, here's a picture of the book that I'm bidding on:

You're good to go, Leif. That's the Star Wars Saga Edition main book, literally all you need to play Star Wars with the new (best) ruleset. If you're lucky, it should still have the two-sided pull out map in it, with one side being a starfield (for space combat) and the other being a desert scene.

COOLNESS! I've been lucky with ebaying these things before, so that could be an indication that the map won't be there, but that's cool, too. I doubt if I'll have much opportunity to play the game face-to-face, anyway. I'm also bidding on: Imperial Double Cross, Alien Encounters, (both of these are published by West End Games, so I wonder if that means that they're older?) and New Jedi Order Sourcebook. (There's 1 hour and 4 minutes left in the auction for Imperial Double Cross, and unless something hits the fan, I may get it for 99 cents.)

The West End games are definitely older, as they're from the d6 era of Star Wars RPGs, but they're good books, too. The New Jedi Order sourcebook is quite likely to be from the Revised Edition of the Star Wars d20, which is the version just prior to the Saga Edition. Lots of good information, if you're looking to play in or run a game during the Yuzhan Vong invasion.

Yuzhan Vong? That just sounds nasty!

 

[Friadoc]

Yuzhan Vong? That just sounds nasty!

They were, are, in part, but it depends on personal opinion, too. See, they came around in the Novels, the New Jedi Order series, and had a lot of reaction from fans, good and bad.

*chuckles*

forgive me for interrupting this enlightening conversation, but what exactly are we waiting on in the game? And if you guys keep talking about nasty races, be careful you dont give IG ideas to throw at us, please.

d and d rule 1: Never give the dm ideas.
and
rule 2: Never give the dm an even break, because he won't give you one! (Just kidding!)

Hey Leif those Yuzhan Vong guys sound interesting. If they are d20 based then it shouldn't be too hard to convert them over for DnD use in some our games...

Wellll, I managed to win everything that I was bidding on on ebay this time. And I only had to abandon one auction and find another copy of the same book for sale in another auction! And, naturally, one of the first things that occurred to me was that some of these wicked, nasty Star Wars villains could make excellent crooks to throw at our constables! And I also got the d20 Superhero game, too ("Mutants and Something?"), so we can soup-up the monsters we already have! (Make them MUTANT RAKSHASAS with gleaming, magic, razor-sharp blades that spring up from the back oftheir hands!)
