@Nobleshield Same thing happens with Star Wars Saga. The names are meant to be generalized archetypes to give an idea of the class, and folks get hung up on the name. Especially "Jedi". Though Force User would probably be a better fit, the average Joe recognizes Jedi first.

@newbiedm Everyone replying has great points, so I'll add one of the problems was the OGL, for better and worse. I remember all my LGS being stuffed with 3.X derivatives - not splatbooks, just using the 3.x system on everything possible and flooding the market with often poorly done games

[Benjamin Walker @Sprocket_blast]

@Nobleshield None of this was a thing or a problem until the movie Bright came along.

@skepticalone44 @Nerdcognito Something to look into my books for.

[Benjamin Walker @Sprocket_blast]

@Fett_ish @Nerdcognito Hmm. We've been treating them as weighing about 1 oz of liquid, and you can get about 16/lb. A hold over from 3.5 when we switched to PF1e. Because PF1e removed the weight of a potion. Seems I need to go back reread some parts of the book.

[Benjamin Walker @Sprocket_blast]

@Nerdcognito Star Wars Saga Edition, hands down. Pretty much my favorite d20 system, overall. And depending on edition, it outranks D&D.

[Benjamin Walker @Sprocket_blast]

@ChaosChief9 Fair enough. I love PF1e, but it's been immensely fun going with other systems. It's still one of my go-to's, but I finally convinced my home group to try other s and OSE/Dolmenwood has been a huge hit.

Sometimes PF1e feels overly complicated by comparison when adding things

[Benjamin Walker @Sprocket_blast]

@roll20app I'll have to check this out. I remember making tokens using token tool, and using them in maptool.

[Benjamin Walker @Sprocket_blast]

@Nerdcognito The more I see of new content, the more I just resolve to stick with Pathfinder 1e, which is compatible with 3.x, and OSE, which again, compatible with everything for older edition.

Other than that, I stich with Star Wars Saga Edition and Savage Worlds.

[Benjamin Walker @Sprocket_blast]

@newbiedm Star Wars Saga Edition is a non-confim crit. You just roll a 20 on attack and it's a crit. Tho I you do get a lot less feats/little bonuses to add up to absurd numbers and lower crit range, as well. But also crits tend to be kinda rare, so I think it balances well enough

[Benjamin Walker @Sprocket_blast]

@newbiedm My play group tends to favir the YU-410, lots of cargo space for various mods.

[Benjamin Walker @Sprocket_blast]

I'll borrow a little of this and that, and use some undead rules from #pf1e.

[Benjamin Walker @Sprocket_blast]

Going to run #swse horror one shot for October this year. Classic rebels vs empire. Players sent to recover rebel spy with info from the prison barge Purge, which conveniently is filled with plenty of zombies and death troopers.

[Benjamin Walker @Sprocket_blast]

@mikemearls This is why I love Savage Worlds. Easy enough to learn, yet robust enough to use the rules as you please to get as little or as much complexity as you want.

Best rules-medium I've come across, at least for a toolbox type of system.

[Benjamin Walker @Sprocket_blast]

I need to find someone local to play Brikwars.

[Benjamin Walker @Sprocket_blast]

@EricGr81 Excel sheet? I have the official app, and it's ok. But maybe an Excel sheet with some kind of function, like a drop menu for set/deck, and a search option? MTG probably has something we can borrow and adjust for this game.

#transformerstcg is amazing!
