http://www.stargazergames.eu/games/warrior-rogue-mage/ This has been really fun and less daunting than a full campaign the few times I've played it with friends. Also a lot easier for newcomers to pick up than D & D, imo.
The nice thing about Star Wars is that it's a universe so many people are familiar with and are excited about. While it takes away some world building aspects for the GM, it makes it slightly easier for players to get immersed in the game, especially if they're new to pen and paper games. I'm still surprised I have yet to pick up Pathfinder. I honestly think 3.5 is the best D&D ruleset by far. It had the perfect level of depth and detail without getting too bogged down. 4th ed was awful. 5 has felt bland. The more I think about it, the more I think I might need to give Pathfinder a shot.
Pfft. Whoever you're talking to doesn't know their Star Wars all that well. Were there Palpatine clones? Sure. Maybe. Thankfully that was retconned after Disney bought the property. The Empire didn't topple right away either and there were generals and politicians to fill in the power vacume. It took the rebel alliance another five years or so before they could capture Coruscant and even then there will still remnants of the Empire to deal with. That said, the EU was an utter mess between the novels and the comics, so it's kind of nice the universe is getting started with a clean slate (though I hear the Marvel comics are quickly making a mess of things again). That said, the universe is HUGE. It would be so easy to create a story that never even comes within smelling distance of any of the main characters. Anyone who doesn't probably wasn't trying too hard in the first place. As for the thread? You're fine on bailing. You gotta see to life first. It'll still be there if you ever want to pick it back up. :)
I'll think of some good stories. But . . . Does your college have a nurse or doctor you can see? If you're feeling worse, you should get that checked out, especially with what's going on with your brother.Thans in advance, feel free to respond at any time. I actually don't think like Il be able to respond or come on Hubski fora few days. I feel even worse than yesterday and can;t seem to even focus my eyes on anything.
