In another post, where someone wanted to shame Smiteworks, I mentioned the bugs and kinks you need to deal with and how frustrating it can be to know that this game and ruleset that I love, probably won't see much of an update for a while. But that doens't change the fact that I absolutely love Star Wars and is ever grateful that this was made in the first place!
I am currently running one of the funniest, craziest, emotionally deep, campaigns that I've done in a long long time with my friends, and it happens in Star Wars. And I am loving every moment of it.
I have spent a lot of time creating modules, tokens, battlemaps for our convenience and not a moment was wasted. I even managed to alter the theme I use for the game so the windows I wanted to be larger now are. All thanks to Trenloe giving me a tip of what to look for in the code. Sure it took me a while and a lot of trial an error went into it. But without the help I wouldn't have what I have now. Thanks!
Edge of the Empire is an underappreciated game, and it isn't helped by the fact that Fantasy Flight Games aren't allowed to sell it in any electronic form. Including pdf's. "Because that would be a video game and they don't have the rights for that". *FACEDESK*. Lawyers. The stupidity of legal rights doesn't change the fact that the star wars game is a modern game which fits very well with this universe. More should be playing it, if you ask me.
And if I didn't have this ruleset, I would never have discovered just how much fun this is. So here's a big hug to Trenloe and all the other guys who worked on it.
