Star Wars d20 "Strikes Back?"

[Ao the Overkitty]

Maybe the stores I frequent are oddities. I'm pretty sure the local Barnes & Noble still has a copy, if not the Borders as well.

Of course, our local gaming store had copies of the unrevised books long after they were discontinued.

I think one or two of the gaming stores around here still have copies of some of these. At Origins I evfen saw some of the titles at a half price booth.

$100+ for Power of the Jedi? Madness! I wish I would have known I was sitting on a pair of hundred dollar bills while I had the chance. I would have auctioned off one of them.

"Some of the titles" is a bit unspecific. The expensive ones were especially "Power of the Jedi" and the "Hero's Guide". Most of the rest went relatively cheap, and even the "Dark Side" book was only slightly overpriced. It's only the OOP titles that were expensive, and here of course the more popular ones.

And Origins doesn't mean anything as Power of the Jedi has been reprinted. Now you get it for $20 on ebay. What can I say, you missed a chance to make some bucks then .

Really, the bookssellers near my house has almost everything cept the pre-revised run books (Naboo, Starships, etc).

Maybe I need to buy them up and start ebaying!

EDIT: ON topic, I'm glad to see a new version of SWd20 coming! Maybe they'll fix all those nasty problems with the revised rules (and the mountain of errata that now is standard...)

Too late !

Are there really that many nasty problems? I thought most of the problems just arose because each new film changed how the force worked and what jedi are supposed to do or not to do?

I saw all the hardbacks, the ones I didn't see where the box sets and the pre revised softcovers.

Then those shop owners were not really watching the market. In this area or in the California Bay Area (where I looked), there was absolutely nothing to get but the shelf warmers like "The New Jedi Order Sourcebook".

The only problem I can think of with the d20 Force rules is the narrowness of it. Each and every new power has to be a new skill insterted into the mix, no room for innovation at all. A little bit of looseness would have been better. However, this could have easily been a deliberate choice, so as not to get Forcefireballs and the like. Thats something I can definately agree with.


[hmmm, forcefireball, that sounds like an interesting spell. like that wall of magic missles spell i heard about...]
