This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

It's very, very, very good. I'd love to get my hands on a printed version.

It makes me want a revised movie sourcebook now. :D

Kudos that they didn't change the rules or add a lot of unnecessary shit. I dislike it when a bunch of fanboys think they can "improve" on an edition and wind up making it more convoluted than it needs to be. They added optional advantages and flaws, which is something one of the guys said he wrestled with on the Rancor Pit forum. But as he said, they were optional.

Wow, this really looks impressive on a first super-fast skimming. Looking forward to digging into it a bit more. Star Wars d6 was really popular with my group a couple of years back, but having it in a unified, single tome (with an index!!!!!), may revive some interstellar action in the future.

Hour four of reading this PDF and I have yet to find a single game-breaking flaw in the work. This should become a standard for what is possible by fans.

Have they found a solution to the bullet-proof wookie then? I really, really like Star Wars D6. Always have. But the rules for dealing and absorbing damage have always been less than ideal, in the "any weapon that can hurt the wookie will obliterate the rest; any weapon that is a reasonable threat to the others is just as effective as throwing napkins at the wookie" sense.

West End tried a solution in D6 Space, by halving your Strength score for damage resistance, but it was less than ideal.

They don't break any new ground in this fan-made edition. It's pretty much note for note the same rules wise as the 1993 edition, which isn't a bad thing really.

I never had any problem with Wookiees.

Can't wait to check this out, though I'm not sure why the game would need to be revised or expanded as I found 1st edition was just right for me.

I think, for me, it's just having essentially everything in one .pdf document that's flipping my switch. And the artwork is good too.
