/starwars/ - Star Wars

saga was what I always played

>tfw was too young for this when it came out

>tfw now i want to play it and have no one around to play with

Christ dude, what are you, 13? There is no "too young" for RPGs. Ask the guys on /tg/…Ok, don't.

Point is, I started when I was 11, but I had somebody to get me into it.

You can probably go to the gamefinder thread on /tg/ to start a game up. Granted, most of them won't be /starwars/ autists like us, so there'd be some serious clash.

Loved saga. Felt like I had a lot of space to do really cool shit as a DM.

>>7446

no i meant i was too young for it because i didn't understand how great tabletop rpgs were, that wasn't until high school.

>>7448

roll20 is shit, but it's an option.

>>7451

Aah, I see. Fair enough.

>>7450

That's one bonus. I liked WEG stuff because of all the material and the emphasis on storytelling.

>that filename

Mah nigga

sounds like there's interest here, at least

>>7453

>>7455

>>7452

i have tabletop sim but have yet to use it

this would be an excellent start

also >>7452 is that a total war mod?

>>7455

Shit, I'd be game.

>>7750

I'll forgive you for at least admitting you're a pleb.

My problem is the autistic way the dice are handled, it's reminiscent of The One Ring, which also sucks.

>proto-4e

Did you ever read the rulebooks, or did you pick that opinion up off someone else? I'm genuinely asking because I'm looking at both 4e and Saga on my desk as we speak, and they are not the same.

1) You can still play Saga without maps/mini's, though I use them, albeit without the excess baggage of rules that come with. You can even do this with 2e D&D, just as an added tool.

2) The closest you get to the pigeonholing in 4e is the talent trees, but those aren't even pigeonholing you. I feel they are an improvement upon the d20 system, as they give you even more options for your character. They allow you to play your Jedi/Noble/Scoundrel, any number of different ways. Compare/contrast with 4e where it no matter what you choose, you're still stuck in the same party role, unable to break the mold and do something different.

>Intuitive

Intuitive doesn't necessarily mean good. If anything, in game design, it's come to mean "designed for the lowest common denominator".

I've been using saga edition for a campaign I've been playing with my friends for a couple years.

One. Long. Campaign. We generally play every Sunday together. Taking hiatuses only when missing too many players or to allow me to write up more material.

Playing Pathfinder right now much more casually. Will hop back into our old, still unfinished campaign after the new movie releases.

The Saga Edition is clunky in quite a few ways. I find it's handling of Jedi to be a bit unbalanced specifically. Also, there is often a lack of options as far as what characters can do especially early on. This is in stark contrast to pathfinder where level 1 characters get a veritable smorgasbord of abilities and spells (not to mention theres a bit more basic combat rules (CMD/CMB etc.))

Over time, I've homebrewed quite a few things that I think made the saga edition rules much better. It's worked out so far.

Lots of good stories.

First time I've heard anything good about Pathfinder ever- usually I'm hearing about how utterly retarded it is.

>you can play saga without maps and minis

You can but it turns monster weapons into pieces of shit. The Z6 rotary blaster cannon gets fucked hard if you don't use maps or minis. I still like EotE and the other fantasy flight stuff. I ran saga for nearly 3 years and there was times that I loved it and there was times when I wanted to just finally make the switch. Massive battle space combat was a joke in saga

Well to each his own. I personally can't stand it.
