Do their dark side totals still add to their Force dice once they fall? I'd assume they have to do increasingly bad actions to get more if so.

Something like killing a hostile enemy pragmatically ...

Wasn't the agri corps those who FAILED their jedi training/had little knowledge/capacity for the force? If anything i'd see palps seeing them as 'unworthy of wasting time on'.

Like ThrorII, I run cinematic games. My players are usually adults but I've had all the way down to 2nd grade kids. (I highly recommend playing with elementary school kids but do know if the kids' mot ...

I made up a couple for my game but haven't fleshed that info out enough for a public resource document. I'm sure they'll get renamed for that. I pulled them out of thin air at the table and reference ...

I think my foremost comment would have to be an echo of your conclusion:

System Matters.

We probably mean different things by that though. I tend to hate overly procedural rules. That's part of ...

I'm not sure I made my point clearly but here's my personal take:

The Force flows through all living things and *wants* to be used. The requirement for a tutor is a game balancing mechanic born fro ...

Who has access to the Force?

That may sound simple but it's an important metaphysical question you should start with. Does knowledge of how to use the Force impart ability (the Force does flow thro ...

It also depends on whether one wants the ease of how 1st edition was, vs the additional mechanics 2e added to the game (such as wild dice and such).

I fully agree with garhkal. 1e is wonderfully si ...

My recommendation: Figure out the biggest ship that can fit/land inside the Gravestone. Make sure that ship is the right size first and then only make the Gravestone big enough to fit that ship. This ...
