Often people ask how to play FF Star Wars in an era different than 0-1 ABY of the Rebellion Era (shortly after episode 4). Now, FF SW is flexible enough to accomodate changing eras on their own, but some issues still crop up. For example, setting up an AoR game during the Clone Wars brings in the factor that you're now working for an army with much, much more prevelant resources than the rebellion.

If nothing else, some consolidated settinf info and generic stat blocks always help.

As such, I'm thinking of organizing a little free fan project to make a supplement in a different era.

I'm thinking of using the Clone Wars as it would be enough to cover the entire prequel era and is arguably the most interesting time of the prequel era.

The plan is for a full color pdf. It would share layout features with AoR for obvious reasons.

Chapter 1 - Introduction (short, 5 pages max, gets the idea of the guide, write last)

Chapter 2 - The Clone Wars (guide to running an AoR game with a lot of resources, how to deal with Jedi order/council, guide to incorporating background politics, advice on how to deal with players holding power over other players ---> Jedi general and clones, advice on how to use Palptine and Dooku's machinations and collusion for good adventure design)

Chapter 3 - Player Options (Clones as a species, clone war gear, clone war ships, Padawan universal talent tree for Jedi, Jedi Knight universal talent tree for Jedi, Jedi Master universal talent tree for Jedi)

Chapter 4 - A Galaxy Torn (Planet Gazzeer with quest hooks, some basic overview of galatic politics and the public and real reason for the clone wars)

Chapter 5 - Clankers (adversary section)

Chapter 6 - Modular Encounters (Rescue a captured Jedi, send humanatarian aid through a blockade, reinforce a frontline, capture a seperatist general)

That's the basic layout. Modular encounter section might be much and can be cut. It also might be much to add 3 universal trees for Jedi: maybe just the padawan one.

Shooting for 30-80 pages.

I plan to provide a good amount of the writting, but feel it's more likely this will get done with a well-organized team. This is a fan project so it wouldn't be a paid gig nor would the finish product be sold (both would be illegal, I think): just looking for other interested people to lighten the load.

Any help would be appreciated.

I think this is a good idea and I would look forward to seeing this come out.

However, at the moment, I think my responsibilities are a little overflowing with the Rancor Publishing Group, and I need to be careful about over-committing myself.

But I think this is definitely the sort of thing that got us kicked off, and is the sort of project that I’d like to see RPG tackle — if we can find the time/resources.

I don't have the technical skills for layout, but I'd be willing to help on the creative and game mechanics sides.

Also, if it comes down to it, getting the material together is the most important thing, making it look good is secondary.

I plan on getting a discord server up soon for dev dicussion and google docs folder to share/view files among devs. Likely do it by tomorrow.

if there is stuff for clone wars and the movies I do hope there may be character sheets for those type's of books.

Are you asking for pregenerated character folios like those in the Beginner games, or just blank character sheets?

I'll throw my contributions into the hat.... I can do layout.

Hopefully, an example of my capabilities will be available soon, so you can see what you would get.

cool hope to see what you put out.

This sounds like a great project. I would able to throw in some assistance as an editor, I used to be copy editor for IT projects.

RebelDave was the guy handling layout for “No Safe Haven”. Not an easy task, considering the input he had to take from a variety of folks (myself included), and then make it all look pretty in Microsoft Publisher.

That’s basically what I did for “No Safe Haven”. I’d be really interested to see your work in this space, so that I can compare it with my own experiences.

Aye, and satisfyingly fun i was too.

While I am not great at the creative writing aspect, I am good at seeing flaws, and I hope No Safe Haven shows what I can do regards to layout

Gimme words, Ill give you pages

This still alive? Writing might be something I'd be interested in.

Dang it, just found this.

(shakes fist wildly) Why does someone else always beat me to the punch?
