Message: <blockquote data-quote="BluSponge" data-source="post: 5193288" data-attributes="member: 916">That's a pretty vague question.  How long is your lunch?  :30?  :45?  1:30?Are you talking strictly a combat encounter, or is the RPing involved?  How much?How many players are we talking?How familiar are they with SW?If it helps, I've routinely run combat encounters with 9+ players against twice or sometimes three times as many opponents and they usually play out in a little over an hour.  And these are kids with various levels of familiarity with SW and gaming and general.  Some still have to be told which dice to roll.Strong points:Easy system to master.Very little book keeping.Easy to upgrade/downgrade encounter power to match the group's capabilities.The GAME is FUN!  That is the game itself, not the campaign.  Exploding dice, Jokers, Bennies, it all adds up to a fun experience.The core book is $10 and can handle all but a few genres.Great creative community.Broad support from Pinnacle and third-party publishers.Weak Points:Game has an established flavor.  If you don't like it, there's not much you can do to change it.Doesn't support broad character concepts, especially if started at Novice.Shaken/Wound system can take some getting used too.High Toughness critters can be really annoying.I definitely suggest you give it a whirl.  Resist the urge to house rule anything until you've played a few sessions.  You may find what appear to be problems at first (card based initiative, no hit points, etc) turn out to be features in play.Tom</blockquote>
