So over the last 1 and a half week (or is it weeks… ah whatever) I’ve been playing some D&D 3rd Edition with a couple of friends (4 of us in total), and I must say that it’s reignited my craving for roleplaying again. Previously I’ve always played RPG’s within the same group as such. It’s a fairly large group, but we’ve all more or less played with each other many many times, so perhaps that’s why I sort of stalled out some time ago, I don’t know.

Whatever the case, I was happy to play with some new faces and in a new way. And also I found the 3rd edition D&D rules to be really good. The D20 system as it’s called is also what powers the new Call of Cthulhu and Star Wars RPGs. And although I can take an occasional fantasy RPG, I’m much more of a sci-fi kinda guy, so today I picked up the Star Wars Roleplaying Revised Book. Running in at 380 hardcover fully-coloured pages it’s quite a nice book, but the price is pretty damn ridiculous as well (400 danish kroners, which is about 54 Euro).

I’ll write a capsule review later when I’ve gone through the entire book, but suffice to say that I’m looking forward to running nuts with blasters, spaceships and lightsabers again :)
