[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 8084014, member: 19675"] Speaking only for myself...it’s a matter of my approach to the hobby. I loved the original SW trilogy, but [I]Phantom Menace[/I] left me cold. Killed the franchise for me. That said, I DID buy some D20 SW RPG material...because I wanted more creatures and feats, etc. to use in my own D20 homebrews. Ditto a lot of other D20 products. Expanding a bit, of the 100+ RPGs I’ve bought in my years in the hobby, SWD20 is one of very few licensed RPG products I own. Others are Prime Directive (Star Trek from TFG), Justice Machine (Palladium), and Stormbringer, Corum & Hawkmoon (Chaosium). And there’s the Lankhmar stuff for 2Ed D&D. That might be it, though there may be a few more D20 products I’ve forgotten. Why so few? Because it’s the rare IP that I really want to play in or run. Not even my favorites often inspire m like that. Instead, just like with SW, I’m preferentially aimed at using others’ stuff as fuel for my own homebrewed campaigns. Indeed, I can honestly say that only a couple of those licensed games even got played. Most were just fuel for inspiration. [/QUOTE]
