I never played the original (because I wasn't born when it came out), so I guess I don't know much about this game except that it started the extended universe, and gave the names and backgrounds to stuff that we now consider "common knowledge" of the Star Wars universe, like Twi'leks, Rodians, etc.
So anyway, I don't really have any nostalgia at stake here, but I'm wondering if those of you who have played this game think it's as fun as the FFG games?
My friends and I have been really enjoying playing EotE, but for us it's more of a social thing (not a super intense gaming experience), and we all care about the story above all else (we'd rather tell a good story than get bogged down in all kinds of numbers, stats, and complicated dice rolling), so sometimes the "narrative dice" system can be a little tedious (it also can be difficult for newer players to even understand). I feel like this game might be perfect for our playstyle, but I'd like to hear more about whether it's stood the test of time. I also think the pricetag looks quite reasonable compared to most modern RPG core rulebooks!
Any thoughts/opinions?
