Nice! You're right about them—very readable. Meaning is immediately apparent also. Thanks for sharing, Mojomoe!

I wonder if any denizens of the Pit have encountered symbols for Control, Sense and Alter, either in official or fan-made materials.

I ask because I'm drafting Force ability cards and my design inc ...

I have no problem with presenting competent Imperial troops or their distribution within a Star Destroyer as described.

I do have a problem with the proposed smackdown.

So what happens if you get into a big combat, and people have to leave (time's running out)?
Good question, garhkal!

How do you guys handle the situation when players can't make a session?

I'm not sure what my sweet spot may be. Three players is my average, though, and works well. Current group is seven players, with as few as two and as many as five showing for a single session. I will ...

In contrast to what's there in Wookieepedia, I i ...

I hear you, garhkal. While what you describe could happen (and I agree that it's not desirable), I'm not talking about fudging die rolls.

I'm talking about what—at least for me—is a shift in focus: ...
