"From where I modified the rules and added cool weapon attachments, species, planets, events that never happened in the star wars universe, etc."
"I wanted to begin playing RPGs for quite a while, and I was looking for a decent RPG that could translate into Star Wars. Also get the Character Sheets because the one in the back of the book is IMPOSSIBLE to photocopy (too close to the binding)."
"I was delivered what I was promised....what a concept!"
"Also if your familiar with the d20 system from D&D you won't really have to learn a whole lot more to play this game."
"Here's where i'm coming from with this review: 30 years old; big fan of star wars since i was 5; hated the Phantom Menace and feared that George had lost his marbles and ruined memories of my childhood; liked Clones better, even if the script and acting and romance sucked; and a player of D&D since i was very young. I found it confusing, some of the changes unnecessary, and the general FEEL was not the D&D of 1st and 2nd edition that i knew and loved so well. Give some classes bonus abilities, let armor reduce vitality damage, make races stronger than Humans, give droids maximum hp at every level, do whatever you want to create a game that fits your needs. Add that with fatigue penalities, saves vs. unconsciousness, and lack of healing potions, character lives are rather fragile."
"This former Revised Core Rulebook for the SW saga may be outdated but is very well made: the layout, the images, the rules..."
"For someone new to the d20 system this is would be a big drawback as the only other way to know what skills ranks give synergy bonuses would be to canvas the internet or read the 3.5 Dungeons and Dragons players handbook."
Immerse yourself in the excitement of the greatest space fantasy of all time!

"The cumbersome skills and bloated Feats/Force Feats are retooled, leaving a more elegant, simpler, yet versatile and satisfying system for PCs to work with. The only gripe I have is the assumption that GMs will be using miniatures and tiled battlegrids for combat; while you can do a purely narrative combat, the system really is designed around the use of minis."
"The core rule book is enough to get any game group going and going strong, and the supplement books while not required are helpful depending on Eras of play or to help in fine tuning your characters. As i said the book covers everything that is needed in initial play from melee combat, ranged combat, skill challenges, starship combat, and of course it wouldn't be star wars without the Jedi and the pesky Force. I find the game best played on a real map with minis as it helps to add more accuracy to the game as combat is mostly ranged in star wars, and remember cover is your best friend in this game!!!"
"Of course centered in everyone's favorite gaming universe of A Long Time Ago..."
But with the right connections, and enough credits, heroes can acquire all the weapons and tools needed to survive any situation. His recent credits include contributing to Manual of the Planes and Enemies and Allies for D&D and the Ice Age Cycle novels, which are set in the Magic: The Gathering (r) universe.

While the Abyssals are grim, fatalistic, and austere and the Fair Folk are aloof, eccentric, and alien, the Infernals have an unrivaled ferocity and savageness with a clear goal: Make Creation into Hell."
"Their charms are based more off of the nature of the one of the Five Architects of the Reclamation: Malfeas, Cecylene, She who live in her name, Anhjoran, and, the Original Creature of Darkness himself, the Ebon Dragon."
"In a world that has seemingly moved on to video games for recreation, tabletops really get to show off their strengths, because unlike a video game, a tabletop game is only constrained by your imagination and that that of your fellow players: Want to go on a crazy insect-monster hunt w/ giant magickal swords, jacked up power armor and Essence Cannons? Like your games full of puzzles and storied intrigue? Are you more the kind of person who likes a straight up fight hurling flaming energy spheres or rippling lightning racing down your hands, in a group or mano e mano? Heck, if you're a fan of racing games, we have skyships, dinosaurs, fire breathing gondolas, and spectral horses... now what video game gives you options like that?"
"Amazing book, it really presents a next level to Exalted play."
"The seller is fine, but the actually book is garbage!"
"As a resource for Storytellers (like me) who want to corrupt existing characters or introduce villains to a group that has grown tired of the Abyssals or does not like Abyssals in the first place, the book provides plenty of resources."
"Like everything for Exalted, it delivers with a blend of imagination and coolness that's hard to top."
"O my god this is one of the great books for Exalted 2ed the infernals are insane gae it and love it."
