[QUOTE="HeapThaumaturgist, post: 2544289, member: 12332"] SW d6 is my best memories of role playing from back in high school. My worst, as well. Heh. Got in a fight with the guy who bought the books and wanted to run the game. He pretty much handed me the books and dared me to do better. So I did. I ALMOST used the d6 version this summer because I was running an all-Jedi "Tales of the Jedi" era game ... wasn't able to get a copy of the OOP d6 TotJ sourcebook, so I went ahead and did what I could with the more-well-known d20 version ... then one of my players brought me a copy of the TotJ book in PDF. >.< Would have gone d6 had I gotten that just two weeks earlier. We generally found out that we DID NOT like the d20 StarWars for a Jedi game. I had to use a bunch of house-rules just to get people enough skill points to make average-for-level checks in both Force and non-Force skills. And Jedi fighting Jedi is not in any way cinematic. Maybe realistic ... but those pumped up Dex and Attack Bonus scores mean alot of hits. And with big damage and dinged VP scores, even the guardians could only soak maybe one hit to VP before getting cleaved in two. Next time I'm going to do it with M&M. --fje [/QUOTE]
