    Who Should Make The Next Star Wars TTRPG, And What Should It Look Like?

    Yes, my friend that works for FFG and now Asmodee said they got a license to cover all the game types. That was some years ago though so I have no idea about development in the last 5-10. This I have no idea. I wouldnt be surprised at all if Free League and Modiphius couldnt make it work...

    Who Should Make The Next Star Wars TTRPG, And What Should It Look Like?

    The x-wing mini game and BGs and CCGs made loads more money than the RPG. Im not sure there is an interest in licensing out the RPG, and then the Bgs, and then the CCGs., etc.. All those being under one license is likely more attractive. So, thats another hurdle for RPG companies to get the...

    Who Should Make The Next Star Wars TTRPG, And What Should It Look Like?

    Ones that give you a much better IP license deal than SW surely. There are other considerations too like making a bespoke system with a few expansions as Bladerunner has. Im not sure SW fans would be ok with that, or the license contract could pay for itself with such little development...

    Who Should Make The Next Star Wars TTRPG, And What Should It Look Like?

    Im sure they thought twice about it too. Free League is the biggest one and im sure they have an entire division to working out the deals. Deals that are likely better than SW as far as IPs with legs go.

    Who Should Make The Next Star Wars TTRPG, And What Should It Look Like?

    No, but there is a certain math im sure where it stops making sense. Depends on what the license deal contains. There is also the time clock where you could have the IP pulled from you. I think companies are thinking twice before engaging in these kind of deals these days.

    How Complex Do You Prefer Your TTRPG Systems In General

    I like the framing here. I was just thinking about how I like the core mechanics to be complex and/or deep, and everything else simplified (opposite of D&D). I gotta quibble with PF2 being more complex than PF1, because I really dont think it is. PF2 is a dense game, that benefits greatly from...

    How Complex Do You Prefer Your TTRPG Systems In General

    I went with an 8 if 5E is a 6. My goto fantasy is still PF1, but I also stand by Traveller, which is a deal simpler. I can appreciate streamlined and simpler games if they are efficient at what they set out to do. Oftentimes, they lack depth, which makes the experience too thin. However, some...

    Who Should Make The Next Star Wars TTRPG, And What Should It Look Like?

    Yeah I’m not sure where the 5E reskin will set records confidence comes from. There been many imitators and even straight SW versions of RPGs and they never really take off. They do collect small hard core fan bases tho.

    Where Complexity Belongs

    I’m in the don’t care about crafting at all club, so complexity should not be there if you want to include it. I love the idea of ritual casting being an adventure itself. This is a place I wouldn’t mind complexity.
