#1 tosskii Feb 22, 2010 19:43:25	I realise this isn't exactly a 4E question but I wanted to ask an active community the question... Has anyone found a good attempt to convert D&D 3.5 into the Starwars Saga ruleset. I'm not debating what is or isn't a good system I'm just trying to find a good link. Thanks guys!

Don't get me wrong, SWSE is a great system, play it if you can--but the added complexity simply isn't worth coming up with a couple basic house rules to get 3.5 where you want it to go without a total conversion. Confuses players, makes 3.5 rulebooks useless, etc. etc.
