It has been awhile

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

So it has been awhile since I was on this forum site, usually am on the genesys site instead but I am working on a game world and I know others have created other stuff using the edge system at the start but then moved over to genesys system instead and understand the freedom the system gives but I myself actually like the feel edge gives more so over genesys.

So my question is this, has anyone started a fantasy conversion I could look over not completely take and use for my gaming world, I did already have edge of the kingdom before he converted to genesys. I do understand all the pros and cons of the edge vs. genesys. The factors is I love the career and specialization trees vs. free form talent picking. I have way more Star Wars dice then I do have genesys dice and for the force system I like that better then the free form magic system in genesys and I have ideas on rune magic as my world is way strong on the dwarven and elven races so it would fit better with the edge vs. genesys

I felt the same, when my group wanted to take their Pathfinder characters to Edge/Genesys.

I made a really, _really_ simple Doc to complete the conversion. Here it is, and feel free to steal any language or ideas.

Our goal was to get to the playing as quickly as possible, which meant less time with me futzing with .pdfs of my perfect homebrew and more playing the game we already liked but with our old fantasy characters.

Have you looked over the Genesys Expanded Player's Guide? It has a chapter on creating Specialization Trees for Genesys.

And there's nothing stopping you from using your Star Wars dice with Genesys. The symbols had to be changed because they're tied to the IP, but the symbol distribution is the same.

Pretty much this.

A lot of folks I know, myself included, are familiar enough with the Star Wars dice that we just use those same dice for any Genesys games we might be playing. Like you said, the distribution is the same, and for a lot of us at this point, it's easier to recognize what the symbols on the SW dice mean as opposed to the Genesys versions.

Plus, there's the simple fact that dice packs ain't cheap, and a number of us have already invested plenty of coin into SW dice.

Thanks everyone for responding and I have seen the specialization trees love them and have started a couple of different projects with them from regional trees for forgotten realms to race trees and then of course you have the career trees.
