From Introduction:
Star Wars: Revised, Expanded and Updated (that is this version you are currently reading) is essentially a reorganization of the popular Star Wars: Second Edition Revised and Expanded rules, which in and of itself was an expansion of the Star Wars: Second Edition rules. The goal is to make the game just as easy to learn, but to update to content to account for all of the additions in both the Canon and Expanded Star Wars Universe since the last publication... way back in 1997. Only a few rules changes were included to continue following the track of the D6 system evolution.
Please note that very, very few actual changes are included in this rulebook. There are mostly “optional” rules additions. These are imported from many other D6 publications, including but not limited to The D6 Toolkit, D6 Space, D6 Fantasy, D6 Adventure, D6 Space Opera, and various other West End Games Star Wars supplements.
What’s New?Star Wars: Revised, Expanded, and Updated features the following:
Extensive examples and explanations to make learning and understanding the rules easier;
A solitaire adventure “Cantina Breakout,” to let you start playing right away;
An index to this volume;
Expanded Combat Options and Force powers combining information from various supplements.
Expanded Adventuring information, combining all the gems from the original Gamemaster’s Handbook;
The beginning adventure “The Pirates of Prexiar”;
Aliens, vehicles, starships, and creatures from the Prequel, The Clone Wars, and the recent “Legends”
Expanded Universe;
Numerous character templates.
Finally, Star Wars: Revised, Expanded, and Updated concentrates on roleplaying over rules. The game is faster, easier, and more fun... and more like the original Star Wars movies!
We hope you enjoy this new iteration of the rules. And above all, we how that this will keep the wonders of the Star Wars D6 system alive for generations to come.
