Let’s improve the community

By NicoJMont, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

I want the community to come up with ideas how we the community can work together to support each other to help make games more exciting. As in shared resources, tools, cheat sheets, 3dprint terrain or minis, Adventures written, advice.

Anyone have ace an idea how we can all work together

A lot of people already post free resources here, including a lot of good campaign ideas and adventure hooks. I'm not sure what more could be done.

I can help with all and any production of supplements, if you have a text I can make it look like a book, and help with editing.

Is there something not in the compiled resources thread you want there to be?

What about those of us who don’t drink? 😜

I’ve written 224 species write ups, each with stats, a picture, and 400+ words summarizing their biology and culture...

What more are you asking of me? (Other than, of course, making #225, but that’s happening either way.)

Maybe he means some sort of a community project, rather than a 'solo' offering.

So, these forums have been pretty busy since 2013 or earlier, there's a sticky resource thread, lots of helpful discussions on everything from skill usage, combat resolution, GMing, etc ... so perhaps rather than suggesting the community "improves", do a little digging of your own, and offer something yourself.

@NicoJMont, I've considered a few things that are lacking, here's a list.

  • Adapting more WEG and SAGA modules, encounters or gear.
  • Web-application or software for sci fi map making, ships and buildings (e.g. Inkarnate)
  • Web-application for adversary creation tool (e.g. Star Wars: Adversaries)
  • New mechanics for encounters (adversely creations unique to AoR for example) or any inspired by genesys (Social Encounters) or L5R (Schools).

@RusakRakesh great links, thanks! I wasn't aware of Inkarnate, looks very interesting.

I just want to hear what the community feels they need and see if those of us who have skills can create the tools people want
