I have a dumb question...

By Alderaan Crumbs, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

Oh, it's dumb, I'm sure. :D However, I don't have my book with me and can't give an exact reference to a rules debate. The issue is a person saying that Triumphs and Despairs lower the other to Advantage and Threat, respectively. I'm saying they don't, but, no book...

You're right. Triumphs and Despairs are mutually exclusive. If you roll both in a single roll, both of them need to be resolved either mechanically or narratively. Keep in mind that they do cancel out each other's Success and Failure components, but the Triumph and Despair stand on their own.

On a more serious note, I now know not to try and defend this beautiful game from close-minded idiots who clearly have no **** clue as to its workings. Shame on me, I would say.

Blasphemer!!! You spoke their unholy name. Although you shall be burned at the stake, others can still save themeselves, this species must only be referred to as "they that must not be named" or "the species that must not be named."

Blah blah blah midichlorians blah?

I couldn't just "Like" this, I had to comment because this actually made me laugh. Priceless.
