Who else is ready for Star Wars D&D?
>>98430053What? It's just a 5.5e update to the Star Wars D20 RPG they've had for years and years now?
>>98430053Not like they haven't done it before.
>>98430053Bruh there's already two good Star Wars RPGs.
>>98430053>star wars d20>star wars sagaWe already had star wars D&Dtwice even!
>>98430053I don't like 5.5 in general, I personally prefer FFG and WEG's versions, and I can't imagine the current D&D team will do better than d20 or SAGA for that matter either. I'm really not interested, especially if they end up having their hands tied behind their back and being stuck to new canon and only have a fraction of the stuff the older RPGs were free to base stuff off of or outright invent.
IT BROKE NEW GROUND
>>98430203AT ST AT ST
>>98430136this. no need to reinvent the wheel, we already have Star Wars D6 and Saga Edition.
>>98430053Ha ha ha ha. No. No. We already have star wars rpg. For like, 30+ years now ffs.
>>98430053Freedom Flight sisters.... I don't feel so good...
>dead franchise is teaming up with a dead franchise
>>98430053Who asked for this?
>>98430629There's an entire ass subculture of Star wars but d&d. That SW5E thing is one of the most recommended 5e hacks that I see, fairly constantly. I imaging it's a mixture of of Disney/Star Wars going "this might help us and it certainly won't hurt us" and WotC jumping on a brand that has to be cheaper to license that it's ever been in near memory.
>DnD is a fucking grotesque, shallow parody of its former self>Star Wars is a fucking grotesque, shallow parody of its former selfThey were made for each other honestly.
>>98430629Mousecucks, the most gaped and raped loyal goyslaves in the world, who will consoom literally anything STAAAAR WAAAARS at any price. They have no dignity, no integrity and seemingly no sense of self.
>>98430657This, either it will be a glorious flaming disaster and help kill both brands faster, or it might somehow salvage the two brands by Hegelian Dialectic of clashing breeds of autism creating new, superior autism
>>98430053probably more fun to just track down the 3rd edition adaptation. that one was pretty good

>>98430804Do wheels exist in Star Wars? I feel like it would be some kind of hover chair.
>>98430053>>98430629https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bz6PgdhhkUM
>>98430813R2 has wheels.
>>98430813Cliegg Lars had a hover chair, yes.
>>98430813Yoda has a hover chair
>>98430053oh, again?no wonder those reprints from edge never materialized
>>98430819>saw the channel name>expected a funny remix of the stupid scene>nopenow i'm disappointed twice
>>98430120I wish that were the case, but they would never be so brave as to do that.It's not WEG d6 or anything but I liked a decent amount of what was there. Especially the differences with health from regular 3.5.
Cool, I can ignore two things that suck now at the same time.Would find it funny if they try to mash the lore together though. D&D has always had trouble with psionics and guns. A setting that is mostly guns with a sprinkler of psionics will be a train crash for D&D game designers.
Saga edition was my favorite Star Wars RPG. I played a few games of it but they never got past session 1. It's sad really, such a great system.
>>98430053It's existed for decades you twit. D20, Sagas, both are just 3.X with a star wars coat of paint. Hell, there was a fan-made conversion of 5e into Star Wars 5E that was infinitely better than 5e in every possible way.
>>98430813Wheels are canon because of the STAR WARS™ CLONE TROOPER™TURBO TANK™
>>98430120It's the same thing they're doing with World of Warcraft, a dedicated book. They're debuting a new brand called D&D Universes Beyond so expect Magic/Fortnite levels of official collabs now.
>>98430804Do you always think about combat wheelchairs
>>98430804>the trailer>the actual book:
>>98431486this is just copying their own homework from 25-30 years ago, it's even the same IPs
>>98431851So's the Warcraft one, though that at least is copying White Wolf's homework.
>>98431486The MTG as a setting thing has been one of those ideas that's so stupid you wonder why they haven't done it until now, sort of things. Too bad any of the potential MTG style worlds are all total shit these days because the idea would be alright if it were focused down to old school Dominaria or Phyrexia or some shit like Ravnica or Zendikar. A generalist book that's just MTG with 5.5 statblocks would be ass.
>>98431865They did it several times in 5e (Ravnica and Strixhaven) and they did not perform well at all. D&D Universes Beyond seems like a Hasbro executive mandated attempt at trying to attract IP fans to D&D with crossovers since Hasbro is collapsing and only MtG seems to be doing alright.
>>98430053Who the hell cares, it's obviously going to be garbage.
>>98432184Hasbro is so desperate that they are adding new scenes to the fucking Transformers movie to show Optimus Prime was revived at the end and launching an "apology tour" for they 40th anniversary.
>>98430053It's so cool how every single cultural touchstone in every medium eventually turns into Fortnite.
>>98432321>and launching an "apology tour">look up this bullshit>it's actually realwhat the fuck.
>>98431865MtG fans aren't interested in games where they can't buy advantage with real money.
>>98432184The Strixhaven book is hilariously bad. Its included mission chain has the players work for starbucks to pay for their hogwarts university fees
>>98431331Edge seems to be under the impression they're still in the game. Maybe Disney just doesn't want to tell them.
>>98430146And neither of those times was it all that good, because awkwardly trying to make the mechanics of a system designed for DnD conform to Star Wars is just never going to work very well.It annoys me that this probably means that the rumors of the FFG rulebooks (Edge of the Empire and so on) finally being reprinted will probably turn out of be false (or if it was at works, have been dropped) now that WotC has the SW license. It's not the best SW RPG system, but it was decent, and unlike the WEG one could feasibly get a reprint.
>>98430053My only question, will any of the lore in the guides or hand/source books be canon?
>>98430053Can't wait for more retarded D6-style lore like muh Stormtrooper One and muh CompForceWhy the fuck do Star Wars RPGs all suck balls at making lore that even slighly feels like the fucking films it's trying to mimic
I can't wait for the space ship combat rules>We, uh, couldn't figure them out. Just have the DM do something and then skip to the ground fighting
>>98432446I actually paid for the damn thing and I agree. It's a whole lot of fucking nothing. Comparing it to something like Storm King's Thunder makes it clear what a travesty Strixhaven is.The fucking Ravenloft book has more content and it's not even an adventure path.
>>98432729>Will it be canonWho gives a fuck"Canon" is warped beyond recognition by this pointJust pick and choose whatever you want like any well adjusted fan
>>98432917ThisEven pre-Disney the canon was fucked beyond repair with all the different people working on it. Pre-Prequel shit like Dark Empire or the Vong were embarrasing and you had to deal with writers with biases like Traviss. Now with Aidsney and them just basically slowly recanonizing the EU because of their sheer laziness plus their new woke bullshit, it's better off to pick what you like and dump what you don't and ignore the autistic screechings of fanboys whining about muh Marvel comics.
>>98432984What was so bad about the Vong?
>>98433074They don't fit at all. They are immune to the Force, use weird biological ships, just conquer most of the galaxy for no fucking reason and terraform planets like Coruscant until they're unrecognizable (this may have been fine before the Prequels but it isn't after)Imagine if in Lord of the Rings you had some super technological alien race arrive, one which is totally immune to magic, conquers most of Middle Earth through bullshit methods, destroys the Shire and Rivendell and terraforms them into some Terminator-esque Skynet deal, and kills off most of the big cast in the films. That's how the Vong feel.It's clear the EU was running out of ideas.
>>98430053First E20, now Genesys.You either die a decent system, or live long enough to become a 5.5e supplement.
>>98431689Yes
>>98432893Can i make a witherbloom student and try to rizz up Dina
>>98436770She has a boyfriend and he's hotter than you.
>>98432578I liked the d20 idea that your HP was just a buffer and your Con score was your ACTUAL life points, with crits bypassing HP to attack it directly. We only tried it as a one-shot, though, so no idea how it panned out in a long campaign.A big problem is that saying "I'm a 4th level Jedi" or "Bounty Hunter", etc. grates in a way that it doesnt with "4th level (D&D class)", for some reason. Purely personal and psychological I know, but that's important if I'm playing something long term.
>>98430053>caring about current edition D&D>caring about current edition Star Wars
>>98430282Saga edition is tits
>>98432891Just like spacejammer then.
>ok so like lightsabers are basically just enchanted swords>force powers are magic>also you can be gay in this game
>>98430053Can't be worse than the fan-made Star Wars 5e.Hate how it treats Force powers as spell slots.Fuck, this will probably do that, too.
I don't know why you fags cry so much about the sequels. Lucas killed Star Wars a long time ago, all Disney has done is rape the corpse.
>>98430053I'm m so sick of offical D&D products being ass. If you want whatever universe just go with it you can make up whatever your want. I am sick of these tourists needing Wotc to hold their hand through the process.
>>98441975Most of 4chin grew up with the prequels.
>>98430053Just play Edge of Empires. It's better than Woke DND with Star Wars paint job
>>98430053There will be a useless black woman on the cover of the official books.Screencap this post.
>>98430053Couldn't you just use your imagination and play star wars with DND rules if you wanted at any point ever?
>>98432321>adding new scenes to the fucking Transformers movie to show Optimus Prime was revived at the endBut wasn't Optimus Prime revived in the TV show a little while later after nobody really liked Rodimus? Surely damn near everyone interested in going to see it knows that? Genuinely what the fuck are they trying to achieve here?
>>98444404You have to have been a kid at the time. It was summer. We went to the movie. And prime got whacked.Then we had to wait months and months for the tv show and prime came back like motherfucking jesus and we wept.No internet, no spoilerings nothing like that. For all we knew he was dead dead, for reals.
>>98441975Don't be a faggot. Star Wars was always for kids and Lucas did the stories he wanted to do with different movies that told a whole story, kids loved it, merchandise flourished and had interesting tie-ins in other medias. Meanwhile the sequel was pretentious fan baiting that only made ticket money. Ten years from TPM fans were already nostalgic for it because it brought a whole new generation. We already passed 10 years from TFA and no one cares.
>>98441975well i wanted a body free of cum to fuck, thank you!
>>98445085Though considering they're just going to re-release the film, not the entirety of season 2 of the show, it does make some sense to add a scene explaining that Optimus wasn't actually dead for good and did canonically come back.
>>98432321>>98444404>>98445085https://youtu.be/bq1_6D9QS9Y
>>98431348He's talking about Star Wars 5E, not SAGA
>>98432531EDGE has more of less just been administering FGs legacy anyhow. I don't think they have created anything of consequence themselves.
