Right. In that regard, I think saga edition is the stronger of the 2, just based off of the fact that it has everything you need to play just about anything you can imagine in 1 book (albeit a pricy book now that its discontinued). I'm not a fan of how they are splitting up the books into 3 installments of $60. I used to play White-Wolf RPGS (Vampire the Masquerade falls under this company/world), and they made all their books this way. I hated it. Its a waste of money and trees to remake the rules every time you release a new book. A collector like myself ends up with less book shelf space and less money because of it. I understand how its helpful to someone who just wants 1 book, or 1 game, but I think most RPG players and collectors are more inclined to pick up multiple books. I know every few games who only own a core book and no expansions. White-Wolf realized this flaw, and when they released their newest addition, they released 1 book that had all the basic rules and the mechanics for designing a human character. Then, each new book (Vampire, WereWolf, Mage, etc) provided rules to add that template to your human character, and how their magic or powers worked. That would have been a much better design model, IMHO. Give us rules on how to make a basic character, and then let edge have extra rules for S&V type add ons, or Jedi add ons, etc.

I haven't been following EotE as I have all the saga books and am fairly happy with the system, but weren't they going to have some smaller supplement books that included the rules of the other classes so you wouldn;t have to pay for the same base rules 3x?

I thought I heard/read something like that - though I suppose it was probably just speculation and not part of a press release or anything.

well im trying to do my own thing said Berserker class and the assassin class i compared the class format to D&D and they were very familiar so the Barbarian class in D&D became the Berserker class and the assassin class stay pretty much the same.

Makes sense. Just update the class skill and weapon proficiencies.

How do you handle weapon damage rolls in vassal? They only have access to a d20?

I guess you'll have to roll for the players? OR just trust them to be honest with their die rolls?

To go into detail my Uncle has been a DM for D&D for years before even i was born (he taught me all ik to day ^_^) anywho he made these charts for characters so like if u were an elf you would have a certain Sheet and on tht sheet would have the classes the elf could be and then what happens on a certain die roll so lets say an elf shoots a arrow and a wolf well u check to see what they rolled the go to the chart the chart says it hits. but if lets say a human shoots an arrow but he rolls the same thing but the chart says he missed but scared the wolf into fleeing. so depending on what race and class u are depends on what u can do. Of course ill have to switch the charts into Star Wars format but it shouldn't be that hard. lol
