I've never play West End's game, but Fantasy Flight's "Genesys"-based Star Wars TTRPG is a phenomenal, novel, and approachable game with a massive, encyclopedic catalog of cohesive Star Wars universe components.
I highly recommend any of the three starter kits (Jedi/Rebel/Smuggler) for fans of the franchise who haven't yet played a tabletop RPG, or for anyone who thinks "Dungeons & Dragons" might be an interesting way to spend an afternoon.
- WorldMaker 3y agoIf you enjoyed "Genesys" and should happen to stumble onto a copy of WEG Star Wars (perhaps even from some shady cantina dealer with a gray sense of legal acquisition), you will probably enjoy the WEG predecessor just as much. It is timeless in surprising ways that most D&D editions are not, including its reliance on simple, effective d6 dice pools. That's one of the more fun contrasts between WEG Star Wars and Fantasy Flight (now "Edge Studios: An Asmodee Brand") Star Wars: "Genesys" uses pools of custom dice with unique faces and WEG's system is often called "d6 Star Wars" because it just uses pools of one of the cheapest and most common form of dice.
