Hi players and GMs
I just wanted to share my progress on my "Living Galaxy" project. You can see it via
https://starwars.rpg-duelmen.de (.de, but switchable to english )
Many of the nice things you can see only when registered (with registration currently deactivated) , but you can see the latest visible progress in the GM board Thread: https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/topic/264068-job-boards/?do=findComment&comment=3152270
Just a little teaser now, I will enable registration for public when I have added some more data, like ship images and stats.
Please ignore the main page "Galaxy News", this was just for my group and will be substituted by a new news system.
It will be a tool for players and GMs to take part in a galaxy with some shared elements between multiple player groups.
Currently there are continously generated freight jobs you can do with your ships, but also see NPC groups completing some of the jobs.
These are all generated via a scripted engine. Currently they are all random, but I plan changing this to a more credible system, based on planetary imports and exports.
Currently you can create a group, invite other players to your group, create ships, confirm jobs, and complete jobs.
It's up to the GM to fill this process with some fluff, for example a pirate attack or other events. Also the GM should keep track of the money earned at each job, currently there is a payment listed with each job, but there is no track of earned and spent money.
Future development plans include:
critical:
- News system for events (pirate attacks, imperial assaults, rebel ambushes, stellar events, ...) you can include in your campaign
- Optimized algorithms to generate the freight jobs based on planet economy
- Bounty Board
- Illegal jobs
- Creation of a player base with configurable modules
- Creation of ships that will work like an npc ship, but are bound to a player base, generating income
- Some ways to spend money (ship and base upgrades)
- More planets
nice to have:
- More options to interact with other player groups and NPC groups
- A way to track earned and spent money
- Hyperspace jump calculator (NPC groups already use a simple calculation for travel and loading times)
- A way for other players / GMs / groups to contribute story parts for the living galaxy, maybe make some vents they had in their sessions appear in the galaxy wide news
Please let me know whether such a living galaxy page would be a nice addition for your group or whether you are not interested in such a thing (or if you would be more interested if xy would be implemented)
