We interview Stephen aka Galiphile about how he created a Star Wars RPG by using the D&D 5E rules. He shares with us the four books he has made so that you can pick your characters class, species, force powers, space ships and more! Star Wars fans who are looking for a way to play the game using 5E rules can look no further.

This is an amazing conversion. Possibly my favorite iteration of a Star Wars rpg ever.

Found out about this system from Dimension 20's Starstruck Campaign. The fact that the system is free makes this really accessible makes it really attractive.

I had been so doubtful about this version of a Star Wars RPG, I had thought it could never live up to what I wanted to see from Star Wars. I have to say I am a total convert, I love the classes that have been re-imagined (and adjusted), the style of them fits so well into the Star Wars style and despite the fact that Tech powers are merely reworked mage spells, they fit the bill absolutely brilliantly. Likewise the force powers combined with class features just capture the feel of the powers. The only problem I see is that for me it eclipses the original D&D 5E with its imaginative and innovative approach. Thank you so much.

Thank you. I will be running this system for my local store on May... the 4th.

Keep up the good work with SW5e. My Jawa Monk thanks you.

It has been so fun playing this and helping make new content for it. One thing I will add for DMs out there is the DnD 5e DMG still applies to this conversion, and doesn’t have an equivalent on the SW5e website. So you’ll have to acquire your own copy and reflavor some of its content to match Star Wars. There are some suggestions for reflavoring things like spell scrolls and poisons in the SW5e Discord.

Those of you that have ran or played or read this...how does it stack up to WEG , Saga Edition, and FFG Star Wars?

Was playing the d6 version of Star Wars, ST found this so we're going to test it out. Not excited about these classes being reskinned from DnD, but I am excited about the races. Especially the Eshani. Great art.

Is there a dungeon masters guide

In God's name why? Fantasy Flight Games Star Wars is ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE better than and game system that is designed for Dungeon Crawls.
