Well, the part about WoTC dropping Star Wars, anyway. Rest of it is cool.

 

This. Although now perhaps another company can pick it up and try to make it less bulky and not yet another miniature tie-in game.

Not that I'm bitter about that or anything.

 

And here I am buying all their books to ensure that this doesn't happen. Now I know how the 3rd edition grognards feel.

Not sure who else would pick it up, it's not as though the license is cheap.

 

Tangential thought: Steve Jackson games? Imagine Star Wars statted out to the tune of a GURPS RPG...

 

SJG don´t get expensive licenses, usually, but LucasArts should consider it. They are the third force on the market of RPing and the Second force won´t do it. Although I´d die to see White Wolf do Star Wars. Jedi Order and 13 Subgroups. Sith and 13 Subgroups. Additional so called Force Lines . . .

 

Only if I can play as a super-ugly Jedi who's flaw is to literally have appearance 0.

 

That would be [link=http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/es.starwars/images/thumb/9/98/K%27Kruhk_.jpg/250px-K%27Kruhk_.jpg]the guy[/link] I play in AFAS, right?

 

Who do I have to murder for someone to start up the line with the D6 engine again?

 

d 6 is open license for years now and nobody uses it. I love it too. But man. I think you need to find someone who loves it who can afford a license . . .
