So I got to try out some of my house rules last week. Some worked as expected but others need tweaking.

A bit about the game:

Oh, and I'd just like to say that I'm very grateful for all replies and critiques. You have a really good thing going on this board. It is a long time since I've stumbled across a board that is more h ...

Welcome to the Rancorpit!

Thanks. It is good to know that there are people like you guys who keep this great game alive.

I have my own house rule about the wild die:...

That is a nice compro ...

Hi there. I’m probably going to start a Star Wars campaign in the near future using, surprisingly enough, the first edition. Having just re-read both first edition and second revised and expande ...
