Unknown Regions in April will most likely be the last book in the Star Wars RPG series. Minis will be produced through August. After that, the d20 era for Star Wars is over. http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75862/22320337/Wizards_of_the_Coast_announcement If there's a book you've been holding out on getting, you might want to pick it up soon.

There are only so many times you can print a Darth Vader or Luke Skywalker mini, and most corners of the SW universe have been covered by their roleplaying source material. DMing Pathfinder these days. I'm not asking for characters to be lawful stupid. I want characters who care, who want to be heroes, aren't scared of doing the right thing, and players who try to help make the campaign more heroic. Remember, the DM is just as important as the players. Players don't always come first.

The system isn't too dissimilar though you'd need to teak a few things. DMing Pathfinder these days. I'm not asking for characters to be lawful stupid.

Posts: 3705 Jan 31 10 10:04 AM Necromancer Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I have only skimmed through d20 Modern, so am not really in a position to say. I have read d20 Star Wars thoroughly with the intent to run a campaign. I remember hoping that the mechanics of d20 Star Wars was a glimpse of D&D 4e. No such luck! Games I am... Judging - Kingmaker: Adventure Path PFRPG Playing - Tom Crone's, Order of the Rusty Dagger (home brew), PFRPG; Stan Shinn's, Redmark Campaign in the Barrow Maze, S&W White Box; Ken Mezger's, Myth II (home brew), PFRPG "Virtual" Type I Demon ('cuz Yuku's lame)

I think 4E would have been much better if that had been the case. Some of the Force Powers need a good whack with a balancing bat and a clarification club (I'm lookin' at you, Mind Trick and Move Object... ), but other than that I'm really impressed with the Saga Edition rules. WotC maybe done with the Lucasfilms license, but I'm not done with Star Wars d20. I love it! The Order of the Dice... OF DOOM!: My game group's website.
