[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 5295732, member: 54629"] IIRC, Rodney was a freelancer at the time the SWSE core rules were written and it was because of his work on that game that he got a fulltime job at WotC. Admittedly, Gary is listed as a "developer" rather than a "designer", but it was my understanding that he actually wrote the bulk of the game's rules. And he is now working on its successor, e20: System Evolved. Wander over to the Praxeum on the WotC Star Wars forums. Lots of people have posted their house rules and such over there. I've got a number of little house rules here and there. The biggest one I use is a "skill attack" system that fixes the math where skill checks are used against defense scores (Force powers are the biggie here, but Deception and Persuasion also come into play). Some people like to just restrict the Skill Focus feat, but that just doesn't do it for me.
