Hello guys 'n dolls
Me and a couple of my chums are thinking about giving this game a go and knowing the group I will likely be the GM. But before I start putting down money (likely on the started set first) I would like to pick a few brains.
1. From what I understand all 3 core books are the same system just with different races/ classes and focus, but are there any rules that are exclusive to any version?
2. Do the core books include a GM section or do I have to get that separately and while talking GM, as a GM of other systems (mostly D&D) is it easy to use general knowledge and experience from my other games or do I need to rethink stuff from the ground up for this system?
3. Is this a grid based system or theater of the mind, or both?
4. Would you reccomend all 3 core books or getting 1 core book and it's supplements before moving on to the next?
And just a few things out of curiosity about your games in particular.
5. I know this is focused on the Civil War but do you guys play other time eras such as Clone Wars, Old republic etc?
6. When you play do you guys try to stay to cannon or are you willing to have things go ball to the wall crazy and have things like the group killing the Emperor and taking over the galaxy?
