Help
Anyone else playing/played Fantasy Flight Games stuff? Specifically Star Wars (Age of Rebellion, Edge of the Empire etc), but really anything that involves use of their own dice.
I'm still trying to wrap my head around it - we're playing Age of Rebellion - and I was hoping to get anyone else's take on it.

I've run an Edge of the Empire adventure last year. The dice were ok, once you got used to them. We liked the way they let us play around with events.

Yeah, I think the 3rd session the other night was where things started to make a bit more sense. The whole duty/obligation and the ability to succeed with threat or fail with advantage is harder to wrap my head around. Still, it has promise. And the sourcebooks are nicely done.

The dice can lead to some fun stuff. Like someone managed to leap across the huge pit but landed badly and fell on their face (enemy now has advantage) or they landed on a mound of fire ants. It can really help with the narrative, you just have to get used to it.
