Thread: A Galaxy Far Far Away...

Hi guys been a while since i posted. For the last six months I've been doing some serious treatment of a BRP star wars players guide. It is complete (weighing in at about 80 pages) but I'm going through some proofing & play test before its ready to upload. I have in the meanwhile uploaded a sample of the character sheet if people want to have a look. Give your opinion if you like either here or PM me. I'll update this thread as more progress occurs.

BTW for those who have downloaded the sheet I have mistakenly set it to only get it to print in 150 dpi which is prob why it does not look so good printed. I will fix it to get a better printing copy up and running.

The sheet does have me interested in seeing the rest of the book. Any idea when that could be a possibility Lord Shag? Me loves my Star Wars.

How are you mate? Its been awhile since we last spoke! I 'll try and get the corrections done this week. I finished the thing about two weeks ago but there is nothing like having a hard copy in front of you to see your errors and other gibbering nonsense you sometimes write. Most of the issues are minor so hopefully soon.

Ok guys just uploaded a sample of the starship control sheet. This one will print to a better resolution then the character sheet which i haven't got round to fixing. Just a note that also applies to the character sheet as well, when you seem to design this stuff in MS word after you do the PDF conversion and view the conversion on the computer, it can look a little crap. I dont why maybe its one of the drawbacks of word, however it looks a lot of better when printed. cheers.

Looks interesting and can't wait to see how it all works with the rules. Any update on when that will be? When you do finally release it, your not going to slap "Sample" on it are you?

Still looking about a week. No sample label on the finished goods unless i chuck out an excerpt which i might do if i push the deadline back.

Oh, BTW how do the sheets look?

PROGRESS REPORT
The proof copy of BRP Star Wars had 14 chapters. Two minor ones have been deleted and consolidated into the surviving 12 or shifted to the BRP Star Wars GM Guide (more on this later). So the chapters so far are these:

1. CREATING A STAR WARS PC
2. SKILLS
3. THE FORCE
4. SPACE TRAVEL
5. STARSHIP COMBAT RULES
6. STARSHIP DESIGN
7.VEHICLE RULES
8. DROIDS
9. TABLE OF FORCE POWERS
10. WEAPON NOTES
11. DESTINY POINTS AND FORCE POINTS
12. EQUIPMENT
I. Weapons Annexure
II. Sheets
Ch1-2 needed heavy edits and 1 has passed the final edit. 2 is almost complete. Ch3 looks good and I'm going to leave as is, though I fret about the lack of play test of the elements in that chapter. Ch4 also looks good with some minor edits to be done. 5 is being modified as we speak and considering how this is the most difficult of the chapters to put together its resilience during play test is a miracle. Starship Design is fine and any changes in the future will come from the large number of conversions from d6 and d20 that I will eventually do. Vehicles rules are a big question mark. This was a difficult chapter to put together and unlike the starship combat rules the one I was least happy with so this could hold things up. Ch8 is kinda OK. Every time I venture into it though I keep on encountering annoying albeit minor issues. Force powers considering its size only has some minor textual edits to be done. Play experience in the future may alter this a lot. 10-12 are all good and need virtually no changes.

Just a short update. Rod known by all as (Darth) threedeesix has joined the crew on the death star to engage in a bit of playtest and criticism. This will undoubtedly improve the quality of the BRP Star Wars project immeasurably and I am very grateful he has signed on. Today will be a day long remembered. It has seen the death of d20, and soon the fall of the d6.
