Help needed finding missing & lost player-created files

By DangerShine Designs, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

Ahoy hoy,

As much for my own use as anything I have thrown up a blog-page for storing useful links and files I might want to reference or share at the super-imaginatively titled starwarsrpghomebrewdistillery.weebly.com . This isn't meant to compete with @Nate 's awesome thread but this way I can control dead and inactive links myself and also I can host files so that as people discontinue or lose interest in their work or as files goes missing from their original locations, I can ensure they are there for others to enjoy. This is particularly true for homebrewed materials (personally, one of my favorite elements of RPG's) and I am looking to preserve adventures, campaign settings, and source-material guides for future generations ;)

So, with that all said, there are currently a bunch of dead-links on various posts, blogs and websites to files that I would love to find and am hoping the community can help me locate (original links included). There are some instances where I have the authors name or old contact details but they haven't responded, so if anyone can point me towards the author but not the file, that would also be great.

Files I am looking for:

As mentioned, Nate's pinned thread is awesome but I have found a bunch more content on other web-based resources (most of them sadly no longer being updated) and I was curious if anyone had any other (current or expired!) sites that might contain useful info that I can add to my list. Again, particularly interested in finding player-created content for adventures, campaigns and source-materials.

Thanks in advance for any help you guys might be able to offer!

Well, you've beaten me to the punch! I have acquired quite a list of useful resources over the past several years that are useful for Star Wars gaming and I was thinking to myself this morning, "Themensch, you should curate that list for the good of the community."

I agree, Nate's list is excellent but it's hard to send new GMs there and expect they'll find what they're looking for. I'll cook up my list and share it. I am often forgetful of gaming tasks so please don't hesitate to ask if I drop the ball on this one!

While ordering the chaos in my images dump I found this- https://www.dropbox.com/s/h1k1p8bhukcbuxj/Ziss's Cantina variation 1.png?dl=0 not sure if only the map was at the old link, or anything with it.

Thank you! No idea if this was a map or adventure, but appreciate you going fishing for this!

I haven't forgotten my promise, but I have forgotten how little time I appear to have in these crop-tending months.

Okay, this is a reasonably organized list of things that aren't really listed elsewhere save a few. I likely have more notes around, I'll update the list as things are found. Ultimately I should probably do something more than curate a forum post.

Thanks. Once I pulled out all of the proprietary stuff, turns out it wasn't as much as I thought. I'd originally had a lot of links into sub-pages of donjon but that site deserves a thorough examination.

Couldn't agree more.
