craigoxbrowFFG have the licence for Star Wars hobby games.
This'll probably mean a big lots-of-nice-plastic-minis game like Descent at some point. Maybe chasing around the Death Star, with lots of cardstock corridors and white plastic Stormtroopers, temping me to buy it even if I never play it?
And it might mean a shiny Dark Heresy RPG. Or a lots-of-little-bits-for-players-to-lose game like their variant of WFRP. Still, it's not the first time Star Wars has been attached to a system I don't get or want. It's also the most hacked licenced setting, seems like just about every game gets the "can you do Star Wars with it?" test at some point. I've played it in first and revised edition WEG, first edition d20, Feng Shui, Cinematic Unisystem, boffer LARP, non-boffer LARP...
