You weren't running a DoD campaign, were you?

At the risk of hijacking the thread, I'll just say that a few of my players really prefer gridded, tactical combat. I think a more abstract system like EotE is intimidating to them because there aren't rules for every little thing. As a GM (and as a player, though I don't get to do that very often) I find the more narrative emphasis of EotE liberating, but my players- whose first experience with tabletop RPG's was Saga Edition- say it lacks "structure." I think it boils down to play style, and some of my players preferring "roll-playing" over "role-playing."

I'm hoping that once we finish our campaign (we're working on the latter half of a DoD campaign right now) I can talk them into trying another EotE one-shot, and maybe giving it another chance. If they still vote it down, I'll probably just have to wait a while before I can play EotE.

Nope, it was a Legacy Era campaign I had run for about 1 year. However being Legacy Era a lot of the themes were similar to the Dark Times, with Jedi being around, but under constant threat. Having read DoD I did steal some of the neater ideas, prison break being one of them.

Enough thread hijack, back to the main point, I've just got dice from the beginners set. I may order one more set, but more likely I will just convince everyone to get the app.

Because these appear to be a custom written forum site as opposed to something stable and more readily used, like phpBB or vBulletin.

I bought one set beyond the beginner box set, even though I wanted to buy more! Love the dice! My players are gunna buy their own so I resisted. Lol

I have two sticker sets, and the Beginner Box set.  I ordered one more set.

I'm going with two sets plus the one I have from the starter box. I also have the Iphone app which works amazing. I think that should do it.

I'm really hoping to convince my group to move over to this system.  As I'm the main instigator though, I'll buy a couple sets of dice for people to use.  If they like it, I imagine they'll buy their own.

After playing the WEG system for nearly 25 years though, it'll be a hard sell.

We stopped using any real dice the moment we got the dice app, both in EotE and XW tmg. .. I can't really say why, but it just happend absolutly smooth and without anyone arguing.

so: I'll buy none :) (I got one with the beginners box though)

Got one with the beginners box, might buy another. $15 is rather steep.  I could get a premium set of "normal" dice from chessex for less. Looking to get the app also.

But I did create an excel spreadsheet that allows me to simulate dice rolls.  All i have to do is enter in the number and type of dice, hit CTRL+SHIFT+F9 to reload the page and it shows the result.  Even figures out the cancled symbols so I don't have to do any thinking or math.

Originally planned to buy between 3-5 (in addition to my Beginner Box), but costs will likely keep that down for now, money's tight. 

I'd like to try the app, but I don't have anything that could run it, unless they came out with a PC version, and in that case, I dislike using my computer at the game table.

I thought the dice were pretty expensive, but on second thoug, $15 for 14 dice isn't that bad at all. That's equivalent to a couple of sets of standard gaming dice. 

Im still too cheap to get any extra sets though. 

I have plans to buy one of everything, so that'll make two sets of dice with those from the Beginner Box. If I can manage to get anyone interested, I'll probably buy at least another set. Which I'm really hoping to do!
