Yet again, I’m very offended that people choose to use the USM but not the CSG...

Also if you’re going to use USM you should really put in the GMAC as well.

I do have GMAC on my spreadsheet, it is in the Unofficial Species tab, and there are links to both the USM and GMAC on the General Information page. I am not aware of the CSG? Please link it to me and I will see if I should add it.

I have updated my spreadsheet to include Rise of the Separatists! Please let me know if you see anything that needs correction.

It's his personal pet fan project in a thread on these boards with his takes on various species, including house-ruling a substantial number of the species that FFG has published (which by itself kind of defeats the purpose of a viable resource for SW material as it creates a conflict between the official stats).

To be honest, I wouldn't suggest including any fan material in this document, be it his thread or the USM.

You seem to be missing a number of GMAC species such as Frog Dog, Geran, Hoover, and Swokes Swokes. (That was what I noticed from like a 10 second glance, there are more.) Here’s the CSG: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1QZbBHcV-P3koUmBRo77rTq2OOyWUTSeB

I’m not entirely opposed to Donovan Morningfire’s idea of no unofficial species, but either put all unofficial species or none. Putting in all USM stats, a seeemingly random selection from the GMAC, and none from the CSG is an odd design choice imo.

Thanks for the link. I didn't know about the CSG, and I'll take a look at it. I haven't checked the GMAC or USM in quite a while, so they were probably updated since I last looked (when I created the sheet).

As for your opinion on including all unofficial or none, I appreciate the critique but in the end it's my resource to manage and I hadn't seen notices that the other lists were updated so I didn't visit them to check. This was a large project, as I didn't get all the books until after most were out. I keep the unofficial stuff on its own tab so GM's can make the determination to allow them or not. I'll review the ones I'm missing and add them as I can now that it's officially current, and I have more free time to look at it.

I will say, I will use FFG's version if there is an official one, even if I personally disagree with the official, so I won't include any of those on the unofficial list.

Your spreadsheet was of great use to my group during character creation a few weeks back. Thanks.

Most definitely.

As we play on Roll20, the species list was rather invaluable to say the least. I've got the vast majority of the books, but it would've taken forever without it. Super handy.
