I know this video is over a year old, but I wanted to leave a comment. When I tried running Edge of the Empire I got really frustrated with the die system. Largely because I was adjucating everything. I didn't know that the players were supposed to narrate the positive effects of Advantage and Triumph. That makes things a lot easier and makes it more of a back and forth in the narrative between the GM and players. Thanks for clearing that up!
No problem! Glad it helped!
the dice pool is actually quite easy to read and understand once you start playing
Played d&d when a kid back in 80s and loved it, found star wars RPG a few years back and my own kids and I absolutely love it and I love narrative dice WAY more. And star wars is both all drama, peril, good and bad luck, and humor. This was a good explanation of the basics of the dice. They get even more intense when the force destiny ports are used by the GM or players, how using dark points cause strain for light siders, and the opposite too, and how advantages or threats can do many different things, make critical hits if enough, or be like a despair if enough. There is also still a need for a d10 for stage of critical injury. So fun especially if there is peril and humor at same time. We act it all out like full episodes in a huge years-long story line.
This video was helpful as we are learning to play the game. So good job!
So happy it helped! Enjoy the game!
Ok, I understand this a little better now. Thanks.
one thing I struggle with in this game are opposed checks for example stealth vs perception could you do a tutorial on that? Also force dice for anyone not in the know, they are simple.
Absolutely, good idea! We'll do opposed rolls and force dice next!
Thank you so much! :)
Oh shit you guys have grown :D last time I was here you had like, 3k subscribers!
Well done! nice job super clear and great editing
I just don’t understand when you roll the boost or setback dice. Is it for every roll?
2:20 Wow, mad dice skills
Could you give me an example of "Roll Outcome: You're Screwed!"
Sure! Rolling a Despair on the red dice, along with a bunch of Faulre and Threat and 0 Success or Advantage. Yeah... you're screwed!
only 1500 views for this perfect tutorial???
Thank you, Joshua!
How/When do I change my ability dice into a proficient dice? And what dice do I put into the dice pool. Like what positive dice and what negative dice?
I'm learning also. But from what I've seen, the green dice are based on your character attributes. If you have a rank in that ability you swap out a green for a yellow. The GM determines black, red, and boost dice.
Whoa, this is helpful!
Just got into EoE with my kids. We fumbled through the first game. Do you still play every other Friday?
Hello! Unfortunately no, the show ended a while ago. But you can watch all the VODs here! Just search for Never Tell Me the Odds!
Interesting
Super helpful , TY!
ok what the hell is that massive YT 1300 and where did you get it?
That was a custom build for us by Iron Tusk Miniature Painting. Check them out on Facebook here: facebook.com/irontuskminiaturepainting/
What about the Force Die?
where can I get this game and what is it called
Star Wars: Edge of the Empire by Fantasy Flight Games. Check your local friendly gaming store.
+BraidXIV thanks! unfortunately I don't have one of those but I'll be sure to look online
Oh, that's a shame. But, yeah. Fantasy Flight's site, or Amazon, even, will have it too.
+BraidXIV would you recommend edge of the empire or force and destiny?
They're both pretty much the same. It depends on if you want to run Jedi in your campaign or not. Force & Destiny contains more rules for that. EotE deals mostly with "Force sensitives" when it comes to the Force at all. Of the three books currently out for Fantasy Flight's Star Wars RPG consider them like this: If you'd like to run a Boba Fett/Han Solo adventure use Edge of the Empire. If you'd like to do a Rogue Squadron/Rogue One type adventure use Age of Rebellion. If you'd like to do an Old Republic Jedi game choose Force & Destiny. They all overlap a lot - it's just some specifics in occupations and abilities that differentiate the books.
Seems like a gimmicky version of the FATE system. It would seem like all that would result in total chaos as these "extra good and bad things" would happen quite often. Sometimes, things just have to happen straight forward. Good tutorial thought. Thanks!
that's confusing.
What's specifically confusing still? We're here to help!
I guess mainly the triupm and despair. are they common? or is it more rare to get those?
It's pretty rare. 1 in 12 chance of getting one. And the red die needs to be put into play for an extremely difficult check... which is also rare. You'd have to be doing something incredibly dangerous and daring to warrant a red die (which is where you'd find a Despair). But we have had rolls where both a Triumph and Despair show up!
oh okay! I understood those dice are rolled like every time. sounds good.
Trust me, once you actually use them, it's almost as simple as it gets.
I'd have to play it but this looks game breakingly complicated and would just result in massive amounts of conflict and argument at the table.
Sounds like it puts a lot on the GM's shoulders to come up with partial successes and failures.
It can, but it really depends on the table. In our games the players often suggest what successes and failures look like.
Will have to use this to create my own replacement dice sets. Price fo the set is outrageous here, can reach 15$, so for 4 sets i would need to GM the game i would have to pay 60$ on top of a rulebook. Thats bs. And asking your friends to buy it is just a no. Will most likely buy a bulk of clear dice for 4-5$ and apint them accordingly.
Get the app. Save your money and the app calculates results for you.
@@dave3805 I have a strict rule, that unless its gonna be used in the story, likea a replacement for a in lore communication device, all mobiles at the table have to be off, or at least set aside. So that would be huge hipocrisy from my end towards the players.
seriously, this is the most confusing thing I have ever seen for an RPG lol There has GOT TO BE an easier way to learn this games rules because I didn't understand shit you said lol
Hey James! Anything specific we can help with? Once you get the hang of what symbol cancels what, it becomes a lot easier. After that it's merely determining difficulty of roles. We hope to go into more depth in future videos!
I photo copied the Force Awakens Beginners Game Rule book for each of my 3 players so we can all study and try to learn the rules as a group. As for me, right now I am clueless, plan to watch your video though again and start looking for more tutorials on this.
the dice are just another gimmick by fantasy flight games to suck more money out of your pocket for an already ridiculously overpriced game.
We stopped playing this game because of these useless dices and bad rules. It's a cash cow. If we play SW, we play the old game from the 80s, because it's actually better and that's a tragedy.
The dice are pretty cool. It's, at the very least, a refreshing change from something like D&D for example. Personally role playing games are meant to be a collaborative story telling experience, and dice systems that allow everyone to have influence on the story is really cool. If i'm not mistaken, the FATE system in the "A Tale of Ice and Fire" roleplaying game functions very similarly. Not everything is going to be a clear cut "good" or "bad" thing and I think this does a pretty good job of conveying that in a meaningful and mechanical way.
