Think on it.... Similarities: 1) The Force and the One Power. Both described as great unifiying powers that runs through everything. 2) Jedi and Aes Sedai. Both are guardians, using their powers to protect the normal people. Also, padawans and novices/accepted? Both have to be quite young on the simple ideals of training, and the older they are trained, the harder it is. Furthermore, Padawans are never left outside the sight of their jedi teachers. See any similarities there and the aes sedai? 3) Inborn Talent. Both the Force and the One Power are talents that other jedi/channelers can feel out. Furthermore, some have natural talents in certain things (nynaeve and flinn with healing, Korran and his telepathic abilities or the Skywalker bloodline period). Also, they must be trained early as possible, for fear of self destruction. 4) Taint? The dark side feels alot like the Shadow, just without a sentient being controlling it. 5) The game systems. Remember, Wheel of Time was built off the Star Wars systems a good deal. ;-) discuss. *Grins* (kicks these forums* WORK!) -------------------- Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand this rant's

Actually, I'm using Starwars as my basis for my Age
of Legends campaign, just spiffing it up a little bit, so to speak. But
yeah, it could work for any time with that type of technology. I choose it for exactly the reasons that you're talking about. Its pretty much the only place where you can find prestiege classes that dont involve magic in them for the average non channeler. I'm adapting a lot from the Hero's Guide as well as some of the base classes from the Core Rulebook and would like to branch out from there, when I get time and access to more of the Starwars books. D20 Future works great, too, IMO. ![]() -------------------- Legends of Darkness Are Not Always Myths - An Ongoing

Ahem, may I point you to.... Direct conflicts: 1. Faster than light travel between distant planets. vs. Bound to a single planet and using instant teleportation or flight. 2. Many, many species of aliens. vs. A severely limited number of races all originating from a single planet. 3. The Clone Wars and the Galactic Civil War. vs. A time of complete peace and unity. 4. Bounty hunters, smugglers, gangsters. vs. No sign or crime anywhere. 5. Jedi Knights as the guardians of peace and justice. vs. Aes Sedai as scientists and engineers, not warriors. 6. And, of course: Yoda, Y-O-D-A, Yoda, Yo- Yo- Yo- Yo- Yo-da! -------------------- Honorary Paladin of the Lawful Naughty If I seem to hate the d20 system, its only because I hate the system. Actually I just hate 3e, its biased me against the system. I rather like WoT. |

actually, there was time travel in the Age of
Legends, Moghedian makes reference to it in The Shadow Rising when she
talks to Nynaeve, or maybe it was Lanfear to Rand. Either way, its in the
Shadow Rising. And technically, what I say when I say that I'm making an Age of Legends campaign what I mean is that I making a War of Power campaign, so pretty big war involved there. ![]() Yeah, there are some differences. But what does compare works pretty well. But yeah...no Yoda. ![]() -------------------- Legends of Darkness Are Not Always Myths - An Ongoing
