oh my god, could I write a megadungeon for FFG's Edge of the Empire? Could that work? EotE has a very limited encumbrance system, but thinking about how to transport treasure in and out of the dungeon, and moreso how, to who, and the time it takes to sell that treasure is like, Logistics Star Wars which I fucking eat up.

throwing this out there: raiding an abandoned secret Empire megaweapon a la The Death Star. Empire just packed up and left, leaving a bunch of valuables just, there for the taking.
Selling old empire tech to your Sleazebaggano of your world.
tussling with other scavengers n' shit.
I've been writing some Rakatan Empire stuff but a superweapon scrap being lodged deep into some kind of tomb also fucking rules.
I love EotE's encumbrance system. It's so simple.
I also know Rise of the Separatists has the Scavenger spec that gives a bunch of bonuses to scavenging
Oh this is absolutely my wheelhouse!
Short answer: yes, absolutely, you can
Longer answer: EotE might actually be BETTER for megadungeon than Classic Megadungeon Games, given that the way the world-outside-the-dungeon turns is already established (though not the specifics, despite how big Wookieepedia is), given that EotE has the built-in advantage/disadvantage on dice so as to remove a lot of uncertainty around embellishments and allow for very, VERY easy environmental intrusions even for players who aren't feeling creative at the time, given that every single EotE class has built-in options on their skill trees for "here are areas where you have a unique social sway or advantage", given that there's already well established presence of smugglers, pirates, various states, and other networks to interfere with you just "offloading the stuff at town" and just
yes yes yes yes yes and also this is where I'm personally MOST comfortable with the Starwarsian oeuvre, in the realm of rogue scholars and smugglers instead of everything revolving around Sacred Monastic Warriors Of A Certain Bloodline
ahahah ok i'm vibrating with the energy from this comment. I'm now interested in continuing to post about this now.
