[QUOTE="maddman75, post: 4950205, member: 2673"] Yes, I've read that before too. It would work rather well I think. The game is built around raising stakes, where you roll d6s for argument, d8 for physical interation, d10 for fighting, and d12 for pulling out the guns. The PCs travel from town to town upholding the Faith. The Faith becomes weakened when (IIRC) Pride leads to Injustice, Injustice leads to Sin, Sin leads to False Doctrines, False Doctrines lead to Hatred and Murder. This is pretty easy to remap so that the PCs are Jedi in the Old Republic. They protect the citizens of the Republic by promoting the Light Side. They roll d6 for arguments, d8 for Using the Force, d10 for Lightsabers, and d12 for The Dark Side. They must watch out for the Sith, because many times people become fearful, and Fear leads to Anger, Anger leads to Hatred, and Hatred leads to the Dark Side. I largely agree with what you're saying, except as a 'system matters I have a ton of games' guy, I'm not looking for the One True System. I like different stuff. Sometimes I want horror. Other times over the top action. Still others I want gritty survival. This is why I was never big into the 'everything d20' craze. I don't want a single system mashed into different forms. I want a system designed from the ground up to give me the kind of play I'm looking for. [/QUOTE]
