Lord Shag Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 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.

Lord Shag Posted March 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
threedeesix Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 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.

Lord Shag Posted March 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Shag Posted March 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any update on when that will be? When you do finally release it, your not going to slap "Sample" on it are you?

Lord Shag Posted March 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Shag Posted March 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysterioso Posted March 27, 2010 Report Share Posted March 27, 2010 I am quite looking forward to this one! As the setting is one of which many are familiar, I see it as a way to tempt my nongamer friends into trying a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorgryt Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 I am very interested in seeing the hard work you have done. The character sheet SCREAMS a question at me and I have no reference to look in! Patently waiting to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Shag Posted April 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!! How actually popular is this frikkin species? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMonroe Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 It was the first species introduced to the Star Wars universe outside of the movies. Aside from that, I've no idea.

threedeesix Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 (edited) Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!! How actually popular is this frikkin species? For me, it's just nostalgia. Back when I was maybe 13 or 14, the Marvel comic stories were the only way we had to fill the long three year gap between Star Wars movies. Back then, Marvel was told to keep the Empire out of the comics, which they did until I think issue 21 or so. To do that the moved the characters to the fringes of the galaxy and Jaxx (the frikkin bunny alien) was introduced along with his partner Amaiza (the hot blond). The Marvel stories were admittedly cheesy back then, especially compared to what Dark Horse does today, but they were great fun. Edit: I love that picture.

Lord Shag Posted April 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 I suppose why not. You can call yourself Obi-C-Holmes and rely on your "natural" assets to scare off the badguys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Shag Posted April 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Yes, OMNIPOTENT with a bad ass looking seventies mustache! Obi-C-Holmes: "These aren't the virgins I'm looking for?" I noticed the link to the infamous "review" what did u think of it? I thought it was superb though I do have to disagree with him on a few points, a bit more so than I did with the phantom menace review.
