Wow, is it me or are there STILL a metric frag-ton of SW D6 fans out there? The game has been out of print for at least what, ten years now?

West End Star Wars for life.

West End Star Wars = teh awesome
d20 Star Wars = teh cancer

I like the D6 over the D20 as well, having played both (the D20 one only very shortly).
One of the settings I like most is the L5R setting, as it is quite detailed with rich history.  As the results of the card game tournaments are used in the official history (including the roleplay) you sometimes get strange twists, but the design team does it's very best to put it all in (up to the point of having typos on the cards explained in detail so it makes sense).

Another system I really like, but setting and system, is Alternity Dark Matter.  It's been out of print for quite some time, but it just keeps going.  And as DArk Matter is based on conspiracy theories, aliens and more of that stuff, as GM you can do pretty much whatever you want with it.

I kept trying to get my D6 GM to allow converted D20 stuff that had better LFL support...  But he never went for it. 

Pity the situation happened at WEG.

Shameless plug, but... Here's the most comprehensive WEG D6 Star Wars site (includes D20 and other system conversions). WotC lost their license because of the direction they were taking it in D20, so I'm not sure I would lean on it much.

People still love the D6 Star Wars.  WEG did a great job with canon at the time and the system was so simple.  Some of my best GMing happened with D6 SW.  Still love the quote from the very first game we ever did with the system.  Mon Calimari to Smuggler "Wow look at all that pretty white armor." :-)  I miss it.  I really have not been able to run a game since episodes 1 through 3 came out:-(

I'm with this guy. 

D6 Star Wars is still popular because it rocks your socks.

Best news of the night.

I thought WEG had shut down for good, and open sourced D6?

From what I've read, a company's already worked out getting the license from Lucas, but nobody is saying who got it.

If you could provide a link you would become my personal hero sir.

My brother and his friend are the moderators and owners of the WEG D6 site, and all the past iterations of it, and have been in open dialog with Lucas and with owner of WEG (I'm not sure if his company is still going by WEG). I'll get my brother on here to explain. He's been wanting to get involved in disseminating the correct and current info, since of the stuff going around is muddled.

If this is true, this would make my day in a dozen different ways! 

And I've been having a good time of things for once!

[freddieflatline]

It would be nice to get new D6 Star Wars material.  I miss the WEG source books.  They were top notch.  I have most of them but miss being able to get new ones:-)  Of course I realize it may be smoke and mirrors that  WEG or son of WEG or whatever may be getting it back but it is still cool to think about and hope.

[CanRay]

We'd have to get the original WEG writers back too, which might be hard to do.

Of course, there's a new crop of writers around as well...
