Good Evening all
I have an idea for a Science fantasy campaign,something to like star wars meets star ocean, and am interested in whether pathfinder would be able to support such a genre. Obviously I would have to both build the galaxy setting, and create house rules for the various aspects of the futuristic technology(space travel, beam weapons, lasers,etc). I have no real time frame to build the setting in, so I have "all the time in the world." I'm just curious if it would be worthy venture to use pathfinder, or would it be better to use a different system? Also any ideas or contributions that would help with this would be greatly appreciated

It depends on what campaigns you wanna do - systems support campaign types. Do you want tactic battle? How many fighting should be involved?
Since star wars features classic fantasy plots (at least episode 4-6 do, in the new episodes the plot is something to deliver from one CGI loaded scene to another) and is full of fights and other stuff you do in "typical" d20 campaigns, d20 should fit. Just keep the jedi stuff balanced. (in the first star wars drafts, even storm troopers wore lightsabers, wasn't that all jedi uber weapon it's now, deflecting blaster shots and thus rendering all other weapons pointless aka never bring a gun to a knifefight)
Oh, and click on my user page (to see my force sensitive klingon space pirate)

From what i remember the rules in the saga edition mesh so-so with 3.5, now how well those rules will mesh with a system (PF) that is backward combatible with 3.5, i don't really know it has been some time since i read the saga edition rules.
