The Star Wars RPG I am reviewing here is the old version put out by West End Games, this company stopped producing this RPG many years ago, and rather recently Wizards of the Coast picked up the Game and re-built it as a D20 system, although the D20 system is far less complicated, it suffers from the same limitations as D&D 3rd edition. The W.E.G. version is based on a total dice pool system that runs smoothly but requires many 6 sided die. There are many supplements and add on’s but all are out of print and are sometimes difficult to track down. Although not easily located this system is wonderful for creating any type of character or equipment imaginable. And therefore lends creativity to the players to build a character they can be proud of and that will perform in a way they desire. This also gives GM’s the ability to adjust on the fly and helps games flow much more smoothly. I personally have little knowledge of the latest D20 system and therefore cannot make accurate comments about it.
