How does the Edge of the Empire book compare to Rodney Thompson's saga edition books and could EotE be used along with Rodney Thompson's books?

Edge of the Empire is very different mechanically from Saga. Saga is typical D20 system and offers a wide range of setting options. Edge has a narrow story focus (a time when Jedi are nearly extinct) and the different mechanics are integral to the game. (it uses custom dice, for example) I've played and enjoyed both - but even trying to use much of the Saga material as 'inspiration' for Edge would be difficult (due to lack of force users). You might get some good ideas from a book like Scum and Villany, although you'd have to bridge the mechanical differences.

I never played saga edition so I can't really answer that question. The game mechanics are very different from d20. So in that aspect they don't work together. However if you use eote from a knowledge aspect it can. It has a pretty detailed map of the Star Wars galaxy. As well as info of many planets. The antagonist section has a lot of NPCs that could be useful too.

That's kind of a messy question. They are redoing a Dark Vengeance for 7th edition, but this listing appears to be the one for 6th. So, it exists, but I'd be careful on where you buy it from.

True. I just bought the Death Angel card game last week and paid $180 to buy Space Hulk (3rd edition). $300 is too much for any bored game. You can still find the 3rd edition on ebay if you still want it. Also, I've heard that Level 7 Protocol is like Space Hulk but improved. I haven't read any reviews absent of nostalgia for Space Hulk, so I'm not sure what to expect not having grown up with it. Have you managed to find a copy? If so, what do you think of it?

It's a rulebook for a roleplaying game (RPG). It contains all the rules needed to run an Edge of the Empire campaign. It also includes a small adventure at the end that you can play with a group.

The expansion starts roughly at the beginning of the fifth book. There aren't any huge spoilers but some people may notice some characters missing. Those who have read will get an extra kick about the starting placement of the armies and the flavor text

Has been reprinted and is available for $125 from Games Workshop or even cheaper from OLGS. Also the new 4th edition has extra parts and missions. it is everything they are selling here for over double the cost with more stuff.

I have both editions and the second edition added the 2 other characters. Also the cubes in the first edition are wood and a little larger. The cubes in the new edition are translucent plastic and slightly smaller. There are other minor component differences as well.

There are Jedi and then there are JEDI. Yes, you can choose the Force Sensitive Exile specialization. No, this is not the Jedi of that you are most likely familiar with from the Episodes 1 - 3. With regards to the scope of The Edge of the Empire, the Force is played down and not a primary focus...hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a blaster.

This is not the 4th edition. The one I received was the first edition from the original Kickstarter campaign. I still had to purchase the factions pack 1 and the upgraded plastic components. (The plastic domes, rocket VP trackers, and the three plastic components for the repulsor field, isolation field and the positron field) However, there is a new kickstarter campaign that includes the new 4th edition with the new Rocket dice. You might want to check that out! Hope this is helpful. I really do enjoy this game. Simply a fantastic system and enjoyed by all whom ever I teach it to.

Actually, I retract my answer. McCrobos has the better answer. I didn't know they did a starter set for 5th edition. That's your better deal

I don't know, I only have the one version. As per my comments I was very disappointed with this game as it used the old Imperial measurements in the bulk of the questions. New Zealand went metric over 40 years ago. This made it a 'never want to play again' game.

Hi! That depends on what sort of games you play. I currently have 2 because I love to play scenario-based games and use variable point games between 150 and 450 each. I bought two of them at once because I knew I wanted to have at least 6 t/f and 3 x-w. So is more cost effective to buy 2 core sets and the remaining ships separated (to get the unique pilots and habilities). Bottom-line is that you need at least 1 x-w and 1 t/f expansion as long as the core set if you want the cool pilots, so if you test the game and like it I would recommend you to get a copy of each first. But if you already have one of each and want to increase your fleet size I would totally recommend getting another core for price, extra dice and spares (plus the cool box). I hope it helped! May the force be with you!

I purchased it as a gift off someone's wish list, so I don't have firsthand play time with it, but here's the description from Board Game Geek: "A Dance with Dragons is the first expansion for A Game of Thrones: The Board Game (Second Edition). This exciting new scenario recasts the intrigues of the game in the time frame of A Dance with Dragons. The expansion consists of forty-two alternate House cards and an alternate setup to reflect each House's position in Westeros." Hope that helps!

I bought it to play with a large crowd on stage at a Relay for Life event so I really enjoyed the game an it worked well for my purposes. As far as your question I think any edition is fine. I think that is up to you. The questions are varied.

It contains all three versions. The original, warchiefs and asian dynasties. The same if you bought all three seperately. Nothing added and nothing removed when combining the three. There is a campain story that flows through all three but Asian Dynasties is the best with the more options and the acrive online multiplayer scene. There you can play with friends or on your own against computers, against other people or custom maps such as free for all.
