I have this in my house rules and it worked well:

I'm using Force attribute for a long time. It works perfectly, although I'm limiting it's maximum to something around 1D+2 (All Jedi players take maximum anyways). This allows to create a sensible sta ...

I'm rolling initiative every round. It makes combat more dynamic (chaotic and unpredictable). It often opens new tactical options ("if I win initiative this time I'll do ...") and makes comb ...

I'm rarely draw any map up front. Only for important encounters (e.g. very tactical fights) or for dungeon crawling adventures. On the other hand we often use ad-hoc hand written maps with PCs and NPC ...

I'm using just one table table, no matter what STR value is, in other words it's absolute, not relative.That's what I thought, but I wanted to be sure.

How do you handle controls ionized vehicle/starship hit effect? Following RAW is usually far more severe than light damage. Why? Because most players fly some light freighters with no or minimal maneu ...

I did something similar in my HRs, but in slightly simpler and more brutal way.Is your table one size fits all, i.e. a 2D STR character and a 5D STR character each takes the same number of stuns?

Stun Damage > Stamina Roll = Effect
0-3 = 1 Stun

You may take a look at Hideouts & Strongholds - many of base modules can be easily adapted to a starship. With Galaxy Guide 6 and D6 conversion of Starships of the Galaxy your players should easil ...

A fair critique, but I'll offer that avoiding being shot at point blank range would be much easier than at close or medium range: the closer you are, the larger a movement the shooter has to make to ...

I had a HR for playing kids for 10 years or so, but nobody played a kid, so I deleted it. Anyways, it was something like that:

Until recently I didn't pay much attention to taxes. I assumed they are included in items' prices or paid by other side of transaction. But currently I'm GMing a campaign in TFA times and First Order ...

You bumped the topic, so let me criticize your idea Smile

IMO good shooting skill doesn't mean you just hit the exact point, but you are also trained in prediction of possible opponent moves (i.e. dod ...

That's one way to do it, but short of some house rule method of spending CPs to "buy" Special Abilities, there's no real way to add this to an existing character, only to make it part of the ...
