Fantasy Flight Games: Star Wars Edge of The Empire RPG Core Rulebook (2013, Fantasy Flight Games) No rating

I've always wanted to try out the #StarWars #ttrpg by Fantasy Flight Games (now EDGE), but two things annoy me:

  • No (legal) PDF versions of the rules. This was not FFG's fault, as it was part of the license restrictions imposed on the line, but it still means that, barring reprints, individual books can go out of print forever, which is not great for the longevity of the line.

  • Expensive custom dice - and I dislike having to buy stuff for TTRPGs beyond the rule books themselves. Yes, in theory you could use "ordinary" dice and read the results off tables, but that's an extra step I'd like to avoid.

@juergen_hubert I have exactly the same problem with theis system, but in addition I'm a bit afraid to run a game in the Star wars settings.
On one hand it is super appealing to use a setting for which most players have an implicit understanding. On the other hand I have noticed that the expectations of what makes Star wars cool is completely different from person to person.
