Hey everyone, I am a soon-to-be new GM to this game but I had a couple of issues with the players I am planning on playing with, and we haven't even started the game yet!
Since all 4 of us really love Star Wars and wanted to get involved with a RP type game that we could play, but none of us have any tabletop RP experience. I volunteered as GM and bought the beginner game so we can get used to the rules and how everything is setup and played with the game mechanics.
Here is the annoying part, 2 out of the 3 of our players who would be PC's in the game really want to have force powers or "be Sith" right out of the gate. I read up on these forums as well as other places and found out that the Force is really not really much of a part of EotE with the exception of Force-sensitive Exiles. The players that are bent on having Force powers are really disappointed that I won't allow them to be full-fledged Jedi, but I am just following the rules I found from the core rule book.
The main question I have is, should I play EotE or should I pick up Force & Destiny instead of the EotE core rule book?
I want to make sure that we have all of the rules available to us, so I wasn't sure if we still needed the EotE book if everything is covered by the F&D book. If we do forego getting EotE and starting with F&D is there any disconnect or lack of info to get started on new adventures? Can we use other EotE published games and change them somewhat to fit the F&D crew?
