Using the Rulebook

By rgrove0172, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

Just wondering. How many of you flip to the rulebook if you need the stats for a sudden Tie Fighter encounter or maybe a speeder to get away in? Im tempted to make up cheat sheets for the vehicles and ships I use, eventually being able to just pull one out of a folder rather than flip pages but it seems like a waste of time when they are already there in the book. Of course, you have to find them if they aren't something common.

No cards yet for ships I guess.

Whats your take?

Only use the books to show my players the pictures. After many years of dnd, I was sick and tired of looking up rules during play. Done with that stuff! I rarely have long structured encounters on the fly, I rather handle the improvised stuff with narrative play or skill checks. Though combat can sometimes be the exception with the adversary cards, but also combat can be handled with a single skill roll.

If my players want to steal a TIE fighter and escape, we don`t need the stats of the fighter(yet). All we need to know is what a TIE-fighter looks like, a skullduggery and a piloting(space) check.
