It is really good though, and the rules are free now as d6 Space Opera (without of course the Star Wars intellectual property). It shares zero mechanics with SW:SE - it's a previously licensed game by a different company using a different system.
The (much older) West End Games d6-based Star Wars had many, many books worth of support with setting, adventures, etc. I liked both of those and played a good bit of ToB in 3.5e but hate 4e perhaps it was 'inspired by' them in a high level sense but there's not a lot of mechanical similarity. Wizards talked about both SW:SE and the 3.5e Tome of Battle as being 4e progenitors but I don't see a lot of similarity. It is not d20 Modern based, though depending on how close you want it, d20 Modern + d20 Future provides a somewhat similar play experience (more similar than using GURPS or Savage Worlds, I guess). Luckily, getting a copy really shouldn't be that hard, they are at used bookstores in my area at least.Īre you looking for system or setting similarities? There is nothing too much like Star Wars Saga Edition.
