I got both versions. While D20 books looking better, I prefer for playing D6.

edit: Oops, didn't post quick enough; this is in response to mfb's last post.
Good point, d20 does suffer from much anime-itis. ;) |

I have the Savage Worlds rulebook as well as Deadlands Reloaded, but didn't have the time to read 'em. I plan do to so in march/ april, when university is over and my workload's not so heavy as at the moment. |

QFT! I've got a KOTOR game ready to run after our group finishes our SR4 campaign next month. As for Deadlands Reloaded, its pretty and it does have a faster combat system. None of my old Deadlands group likes it because of how it handles (or mishandles the Mad Science, Hexslinging, and Shamanism). Its great if you never played the classic edition, or you plan on house ruling heavily. I really like how they turned the dueling combat into a game of texas hold 'em. YMMV |

Booyah! I just scored a copy of 2nd Ed Revised D6 SW for nine bucks (plus 2 s/h)!
The last time I looked for a copy it was listed for $40. I win. :) |

I hate you...
Now I'm going to have to find you, take the book, and make sure there's no way to track me down... Lucky. Shouldn't have any trouble getting people into that. Once they get into the system, you're golden. Blast a few stormtroopers for me, just remember, you can kill them, con them, influence their minds, but you can't bribe them. |

d6 Starwars 2nd Edition Revised is my favorite Star Wars RPG.... Somethings though need changing... A couple of skills need to be rolled into smaller subsets but other than that its all Star Warsy goodness.
Honestly though d20SW is not that bad... I ran a one shot with it and it worked well. Just remember that there is no multi-class penalties and that you just take levels of whatever classes gets your character the closest to its concept. |

It's pretty much a watered-down version of the old Deadlands edition, but it looks great. Every arcane background is different in both flavor and rules. (Mishaps for mad scientists, poker cards for Huxters and insane Faith skill rolls for miracles...) But they have an inner working pretty similar. It's also a lot easier to kill and get kill in my opinion, since the poker chips are not automatic soaks anymore, and you can't keep them from a session to another, which prevent chip hoarding. And fannin' is absolutly deadly when you combine the right edges...Marksman, Hip Shooting and Quick Reload is an absolute most for the gunslinger in you...I shoot 6 bullets at you at no penalty and I recharge as a free action...Next round... |

Doesn't really need it. The description/title is "SW 2nd HC Revised and Expanded", so if they sent you one that isn't, the Amazon Marketplace policies guarantee that you'll get your money back one way or another. Buy with a CC and you're even better off (I didn't, but I'm a rebel...or something.) cristomeyers, one of them (when I posted) was only 10 bucks. Remind her of the last time she bought Tea Tree shampoo and conditioner. ;) (I constantly poke fun at my wife for having an "expensive melon".) Heh. Nah, don't get in trouble. :D |

I'm just the type that tends to judge books by their covers. It's suprisingly accurate. I lvoed teh d6 star wars system. STill ahve a few old characters. D20, not so much a fan of. I refuse to convert my Jawa technician. Not that I have anyone to play it with anyways...

Heh, I'll just wait until the final Potter book comes out. Hold THAT over her head for awhile like she's been holding the GBA release of FF6 over mine. She paints, she games (in SR, no less), but if I could just break her of that final habit...won't stop talking about the bloody book...rr, almost perfect. |

eh, I got my wife into SR, so I figure her getting me into Harry Potter is a fair trade.
