# SWURPG — Star Wars Universe Roleplaying Game

> SWURPG is a free, fan-made tabletop roleplaying game (TTRPG) for the Star Wars universe. It blends the d20-era Saga Edition's depth with D&D 5e's approachable action-economy and proficiency-bonus math. Era-agnostic by design — every rule, NPC stat block, and adventure works in the Old Republic, Clone Wars, Galactic Civil War, New Republic, First Order era, or any other Star Wars period.

- [SWURPG vs Star Wars Saga Edition](https://swurpg.com/compare/swurpg-vs-saga-edition): How SWURPG keeps Saga's depth (equipment, species, Force powers) but rebuilds the action economy on D&D 5e foundations. Saga is out of print since 2010; SWURPG is free and actively developed.
- [SWURPG vs D&D 5e](https://swurpg.com/compare/swurpg-vs-dnd-5e): Same d20 engine, same action economy, same advantage/disadvantage. Different setting (Star Wars vs fantasy), different magic (Force Points vs spell slots), different damage types.
