Most RPGs are played with a 20 sided die, which you roll then add a modifier to. With this system, the more powerful you are, the more six-sided dice you roll. While the books are fun because they have mostly pre-crap EU in them, I think the system lacks simplicity. I watched my friends roll dozens of dice playing that game, it got out of hand. To be fair, I never played it myself.

The current Star Wars games are based on the 20-sided die system (d20). I've never played them either.
