Dawn of Rebellion Sourcebook

By Blackbird888, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

Is the DS really that fragile? Doesn't a proton torpedo need like 6+ successes to even dent the thing, and then a couple of advantages on top of that for a crit? Sure, you'd be rolling against difficulty 1 or maybe even zero, but that still feels like a tall order for anything but a dedicated PC pilot, and that's not counting whatever barrage actions this thing takes. And while we dont know what score of Massive (if any) the DS has, I think its safe to assume that you generally wont be rolling any crits without exhaust port.

If Dawn of Rebellion and Desslok are now at the printer. Does this mean that Fully Operational and Unlimited Power are done printing?

If only :( . No, they're still printing, which makes perfect sense. They're books that only started printing 19 days ago. The shortest printing time I've recorded was 21 days, and the average is hovering around five weeks (34.14 days). Hopefully next week or the week after!

FFGs printing capacity in china was supposed to have double as they build new installations which was supposed to be the other reason for the long delays this year. So they SHOULD be printing faster or more at once … though considering that they are basically reprinting the complete X-Wing catalog … I guess the RPG did not profit from the new printers.

Hey now, that's not true! They have 10 RPG books On the Boat , and most all of them moved there from the printers today! That's not including things like GM Kits and Beginner games! And they have 4 books, the 30th Anniversary book, and the Force Beginner Game At the Printer right now!

So that's some impressive volume! At least to me! Maybe the fact that there are a small number of books now will mean that the printing speed will increase; previously, they were printing over a dozen different books at once, so maybe that slowed it down? I'd think there's a chance it would.

The Upcoming page shows the current status of all of FFG's products. I just filter it for Roleplaying Games using the handy filter at the top, and see what we get :P !

It's the only way to explain why all the other books TAKE SO DARN LONG.

Huh... never heard of Genesys before.
So it's basically the EotE(AoR/FaD) system adapted for a fantasy setting?

Not exactly; it’s a rules resource, like the fate system, that can be used to play any kind of setting you wish using the narative dice system from Star Wars.

For example me and my friends are planning on using it to play a game based on outlaw star and I als hope to use it to adapt the exalted game setting.

It's not quite the star wars narrative dice system, there are no separate force/magic dice, and while the dice colors are the same, the symbols are at least different in the sense of being a different "font" but at this point I don't know is the same symbol results are on the same faces (for all we know there might not be any blank faces on a yellow red dice). But I would call-it/guess-it's a very small perturbation away from the star wars narrative dice system. Your mileage may vary.
