Hello all of you fa/tg/uys. I need some help from you.
I play in a rpg-group where we change gm and game/game system quite often. Last time after the game one player, who has never gm:d before but who I know has experience as a gm, said that he wanted to gm next.
The game he wants to run is Edge of Empire. A Star Wars RPG. I have never played a SW rpg before (computer games don't count) so I really don't know what I am in for.
I suffled through the book and it seemed interesting with it's careerpaths and specialications and so on. But I just couldn't find what I was looking for.
So can someone who knows the system help me?
The would-be-gm told me that the easiest way is to pick a concept and then see what career fits the best. There is one character-type that I have wanted to be in SW universe. Ever since I first saw Star Wars the first time. I know most players want to be a Jedi (or a sith), but I'm also sure, that my dream is not unique.
Pic very much related, it's the character.
So, what path I should pick to play a nerf-herder?
Bump for advice

Yeah that general is full of mostly rebels arguments and cancer. It might have been redeemed in the last 48 hours or so.
As for op:>>52025710
Your dm is correct, you really do go in with a concept and build to taste. Go smuggler or technician and get flight skills and feats. Also get pistol training and luck.
Overall i like the new games but my group still insists on d20 saga edition, and we just play without jedi, or with splash weapons and nets.
One of the careers is the Smuggler.
Pick that.
Han is basically a Pilot/Scoundrel in ANH.
I would say Scoundrel is preferable, as Pilot is mostly stuck in a ship.

Fucking Empire apologists now, and the general is usually one of the nicer ones. Damn shame, might start tripping again to draw the attention from the shitters.

here's the pre-gen of the Smuggler from the EOTE beginner box.
pretty much what you are looking for.
and if the GM is running the beginner box, just call dibs on this guy.
