What are your top 5 "must have" Star Wars d6 WEG supplement books?

Quote from: RPGPundit;1024124What can I say? I ran a multi-year campaign with it.

Me too. Star Wars RCR was bar none the most fun d20 based RPG I ever ran. A couple of years back using a Lulu coupon, I printed out about 2000 pages of material for d6 Re-Up, much of which can be adapted easily enough to a d20 based game. Heck before there was a d20 Star Wars, I had converted ships from WEG Star Wars to the Buck Rogers XXVc RPG.

I also used it as the underlying system for my Legion of Superheroes campaign.

Did you at least use the vastly superior Saga Edition?

Which supplements have useful game mechanics/non-fluff that isn't already contained in the Reup edition?

HappyDaze · June 27, 2018, 04:01:44 PM

I haven't looked at Reup, but I found the Tales of the Jedi Companion very useful, but not for the era stuff. I used it because it put all of the 2e Force powers in one place. Of course, I'm sure that's out there online somewhere too.

I also liked Pirates and Privateers too. Nothing you couldn't make up on your own, but that's true of most of these books.

I remember buying d20 Star Wars 1st edition BiTD, realising it was utter garbage, and not buying any more non-D&D stuff from WotC.

It was a little problematic to use a system that didn't yet exist.

Outside the basic book:

Tramp Freighters
Bounty Hunters
Platts Smugglers Guide

I use these even now as reference material for my FFG games (and a lot of other WEG books).

I didn't. Also ran a highly successful business 1 year + campaign with the revised d20 book. I own all of saga but haven't ever played it.

I'd go with:
Rebel Alliance sourcebook
Imperial sourcebook
Platt's Starport guide
Bounty Hunter galaxy guide
The Black Sands of Socorro

I was also a fan of the Craken's Guides and the Adventure Journal.

That's suspiciously a lot (like 80%, I never got Platt's) like my list. Hmmm...

I prefer First Edition and my go to books would be:

Imperial Sourcebook
Rebel Alliance Sourcebook
Tramp Freighters
The Planets Collection

Totally different opinion here. I loved Star Wars D20 Revised. It was a great game, with good sourcebooks.
