The original trilogy.

Take that and extend "Mos Eisley" to the rest of the galaxy. It's a dirty, grimy place full of scoundrels, gamblers, dirtbags, and troublemakers all trying t ...

I played d20 Star Wars and hated it. d6 was much better.

Quick Draw (PER)

That's almost exactly how I used to do it, except that I didn't get rid of the -1D for drawing a weapon.

It's not about impressing the GM, it's about comitting to the game. You don't need to be a great actor or incredibly cunning just because your character is meant to be those things, but you have to at ...

--Ok, so that's not much of a plan, but at least it's an attempt. I'd give the player an increased difficulty modifier for the shoddy plan, and if he rolled well enough, the trooper would buy the stor ...

Because it makes no sense at all for the trooper to let him pass just because he asked.

I see where you're coming from.

The way I play it, if you beat the other guy's roll, you're good. Yeah, I ...

Here are the stats that I use:

DEX 3D
Blasters 5D
(s) Blaster Rifles 6D

STR 3D

Everything else at 2D.

Armour is normal: +1D vs. energy, +2D vs. physical, -1D to all Dex related actions. ...
