    Didn’t they already try this back in the 00’s? That system was egregious…

    I know it’s popular to try and twist other IPs into working in D&D’s systems since it’s a well established and well known rule set, but for the love of humanity, play Traveller!

      They did, twice. Once based on 3e/3.5e and then again as a test of 4e mechanics, my understanding is that the 4e based one was pretty alright.

      I much prefer the old WEG D6 Star Wars game. All source books available here!

      No! We must cram any given topic and/or setting into a ruleset that really doesn’t support anything but high fantasy by it’s very design! All the cool kids on kickstarter do it!

      Edge of the Empire (and it’s variants) is pretty good, too.
