Looking to run this for our very old and long term group as weekend adventure.

What is the difference between the core game and beta?
What would I need?

Is there any pre made adventures or player made ones?

Thx in advance

Slightly confused... what os the difference between Age of Rebellion & Edge of the Empire?

They made some Talent changes and additions although those are covered in the errata. The 'Massive' rule was changed I think from a difficulty modifier to a crit modifier. A couple minor tweaks to the Talent trees but they are included in the fan made ones. There are some pre mades, one for DL for free at the moment I believe. There is one in the back of the beta and another in the hard cover.

The two books focus. Edge is the social fringe types, Ne'er do wells. Age are the rebels and the civil war.

Beta is a pre-full production version of the game. It contains a full rule set and is totally playable, but is not entirely supported by later materials and will have bugs and imbalances. Best to just get the full finished product of AoR and/or EotE at this point as you'll be able to come here for help should you run into any bumps.

You need a rulebook, and the dice to play. Copies of the character sheet, and specialization talent trees are good to have as well.

EotE has several of pre-made adventures, including a few that are free to download. Additionally there's plenty of fan made adventures that are quite good. AoR is a little newer out of beta (mine still has that new book smell) so there's not quite as much out for that one yet.

The Difference between AoR and EotE is primarily theme. EotE is about criminals, thugs, mercs, bounty hunters, con men, political and social exiles and your various scoundrels and scum. AoR is more military in theme, with the Rebellion as it's core demographic and the playable classes more focused on fighting the Empire as soldiers, fighter pilots, spies, agitators, and the like. Both books are 100% compatible with each other, so you can mix and match as you please. AoR and EotE both feature a subset of force user appropriate to their overarching theme, but you won't see any formal Jedi stuff in there and lightsabers aren't really usable to their full potential.

A third core book which will have a beta release ETA next month is "Force and Destiny" and will focus on force users, so if you've got a pack of players that can't wait to get out a lightsaber and go to town, prolly best to just give it a couple more weeks and scoop that up.

excellent replies.

thank you for the help
