yep, I agree 100%. it was a much better system. D20 just needs to be D&D

[AJStarhiker]

*nods* the class system really doesn't work well in Star Wars.  Heck, that's one of my favorite things about Shadowrun.

[mercy]

agreed the tempplate method is defently better level based limits what you can fight

[AJStarhiker]

not only that, it's easier to customize your character.

Er... no. D20 just needs to be redone from the ground. Or better yet, burned and forgotten.

[Zone]

I won't play SWRPG if it isn't the old version.  What good is rolling a 'good fucking luck' role with a d20   No dammit, ya gotta go ahead, burn that force point, and pitch 749 six sided to see if you managed to crash land on the imperial outpost successfully.

And Yes that is taken from the game I played (though the number of dice is slightly exagerated)  I like how the Bothans took all the credit when it was actually my group that passed them the plans

[AJStarhiker]

hehe. You stole the plans, my group picked up the shuttle...

I really wish we could get the credit for that.

Well, we christened the group by watching all 6 of the movies back-to-back-to-back... you get the idea. I wasn't even there for the whole movie event, and I was tired by the end of Empire and Jedi. Whew.

Of course it did help that we had all seen the movies a bajillion times before, so we heckled and came up with some suprisingly instightful stuff.

Did you ever know the Wicket was a pothead? Why else was he way out there by himself, and all paranoid, so he heard the stormtroopers coming? And why did he bond for life with Princess Leigha when she offered him food? Can you say Munchies?

And how many R2 units did they go through? At last count we figured about 8. I'm serious, it explain a whole lot- why R2 had those rockets in Episode 3, why he sucked again in Episode 4, and why he kicked ass again in episode 6.  I'm just saying.

Anyway, the group is more for the excersize of all of us getting to play Jedi. A bunch of us played and loved Knights of the Old Republic (for those of you who have played, I'm sure you would understand) and so our game is set back in that era (Exar Kun saga, actually, for those of you nerdy enough to know what that is)

I actually prefer not playing a Jedi.  Might seem weird since I tend to play physads in Shadowrun, but with the exception of the KotOR games, I've never RP'ed a Force user.

[Jester]

I have once, and I did have fun with it. But that was the only charecter I played. The others were my GM charecters. I've always been a huge fan of bounty hunters. And I know Exar Kun, KV

[Gabriel]

I still think my Jawa Bounty Hunter would have been a damn cool PC. Imagine, a bounty hunter who used scrapped droids and cobbled-together mechanical drek to capture his prey. No one would ever see it coming. It would be like being horribly savaged by a mouse droid.

[mercy]

actruly droid bounty hunter crew has ben done in star wars jonurals

[Gabriel]

Yeah, but I had always pictured him "tweeking" small, inofensive driods like R2 units and Mouse droids, you know, things that no one would really pay attention to. I figured that the jawa wouldn't be able to take ANYONE on in a straight fight, so he would need to be as sneaky as possible to do what he needed to do. In hindsight, it would probably have worked better as an NPC, though.

[AJStarhiker]

Knew a guy who played an Ewok fighter pilot.  He had his own, modified TIE fighter and arm/leg extensions so he could reach the controls.

[Curris]

But was he allowed to fly? As I recall, the empire hated non-humans, unless they were very, very, very good at what they did (And thus useful to the empire. . .)
