It could be, or it could be turned into one for the suggestion box. I don't think VE is going to switch to a D system but it might happen.

There's no way I'm going to start letting a die tell me how I should write my stories.

*Kuroishi's mind first becomes boggled then shuts down completely trying vainly to place numbers on his character.

I don't much care what the system is, I don't think it can be done.

I would imagine this would be geared more towards a small RPG group within the VE.  They'd likely run other characters than their own and work on an ongoing campaign slightly influenced by chapter events. 

You know, a continued resistance on Eriadu, fighting both the NR and the corrupt Imperial governor.  Or something on one of our planets; industrial espionage? Or an advance team in front of the lines.

In any case, I really don't want to even get into the arguments of making our main characters fit into standard WEG/Wizards char sheets.

Like I said, it probably woln't happen. I've always prefered Free Rping to dice. Letting a die tell you what to do is kind of stupid.

Its a lot easier for most of us to fit into the WEG system rather than d20. I once tried to create Japheth in d20 and ended up being about a 30th level character. Being a Dark Jedi Knight alone adds a minimum of 7 levels by the d20 system. Slap being several ranks higher than a DJK (Something like 7 levels of Jedi Counciler plus probably 5 levels of some sort of Krath prestige class I'd hafta make up) onto that and compound it with being an accomplished fighter pilot (3ish level of Starfighter Ace currently focused on TIE Interceptors) and the Naval Commander in Chief (5ish levels of Naval Officer and probably at least 3 levels of Soldier and Noble each just to qualify for it). That 26 just alone without even checking the actual pre-reqs for most of those prestige classes. While Japheth is pretty cool and all, he's no 26th level character. We're talking about a system where Vader and Windu are 19th level and the Emperror and Yoda are 20th.

The skill based system WEG has is simply superior in my opinon and would give many of us the chance to more accurately describe what our characters are able to do than any level based system ever could.

Conclusion, d6 is better.

  D20 is better. I like the system and Im never going d6. D20 has a good system and the open whatever lisence (check the site) means its easy to right and share material, even sell it.
