Talk:Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game

message: I don't know if this qualifies as original research or not, but my copy of this book doesn't have the same ISBN number that is listed on this page.  Mine has 0-87431-435-6 (and not 0-87431-268-X).  And all three of the ISBNs listed for all the core rulebooks don't even give matches on Google.  So something's wrong here.

replies: text: That ISBN you're quoting is the ISBN for the 2nd Edition Revised and Expanded, the one with the Millennium Falcon on the cover. The first edition has the classic Star Wars poster cover with the main characters and the ISBN on the page matches with my copy and the ISBN for Google searches. The second edition ISBN also matches my copy and Google searches.  I don't have the 2nd Edition Revised and Expanded but google searches do suggest that the 268-X is indeed the correct ISBN for the first printing of that. The one on yours appears to be a second printing's ISBN rather than the initial ISBN for the edition (you can tell because 435 is quite late in West End Games' ISBN list.

replies: text: Alright, cool.  I guess the way I was checking on Google wasn't the right way cause it's coming up now. :)  Eric42 (talk) 17:36, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

replies: text: The name wasn't very consistent.  As you can see on the article page, the 2nd Edition Revised and Expanded was titled "The Star Wars Roleplaying Game".  I think that's why this article title is genericized (it's not in normal title case).  Powers 15:43, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Move

message: I removed the sentence "Many players consider the West End version of the game to be superior in playability and emulation of the movies to the Wizards of the Coast version." as I find it to be NPOV and unneccessary. An example to make this clear - should we add sentences such as these to car manufacturer pages:
"Many VW-owners consider the Volkswagen brand of cars to be superior in performance, handling and economy to other brands of cars."
"Many Toyota owners consider the Toyota brand of cars to be superior in performance, handling and economy to other brands of cars."
...etc
Of course not.213.112.249.111 16:12, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: True, but that's not the most accurate analogy.  A closer analogy would be saying "Many drivers consider the Chevrolet Cavalier to be superior in performance, handling, and economy to its replacement, the Chevrolet Cobalt."  However, I can't argue with the sentence's removal, since it was indeed unsourced POV (not NPOV, as you say; NPOV is no reason to remove something).  Powers T 23:11, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
