STAR WARS FOR 5ED
These conversion notes don’t cover everything. I am try to keep things simple and straight forward. Many of the items and themes started with the Star Wars Saga system but then morphed into using 5th ed. Dungeons and Dragons as the ‘basic’ rules, with Saga ideas supported in this new system.
