Archive of old D6 fan material

[Whill]

Cool, Deano. I had only very minimal interaction with the internet from 1996-2001, and then only very minimal involvement with online Star Wars communities from 2002-2004. It wasn't until 2005 when I dove off the deep end into world wide Star Wars fandom.

For the record, I don't think that it's so much that people were looking for GG13, but the question of its existence would come up in our discussions of fanmade sourcebooks. Way back someone made a Galaxy Guide for the Dark Side of the EU and designated it GG14 out of reverence for this mythical GG13 for Gamblers and Scoundrels that no one had, just in case this fabled GG13 ever turned up. GG15 became AotC, and GG 16 became The Old Republic.

I liked the idea of our film GGs having every odd spot in the series like the official WEG series (1, 3, 5). Being the most vocal skeptic of the mythical GG13's existence, I proposed that we make a GG for TPM and call it GG13, and then the partially completed RotS should become GG17. Then GG 18 would be whatever, and GG19 would be TFA. From that point GGs would be reserved for films only, so the odd GGs would be the episodic films and the even GGs would be the standalone films starting with Rogue One being GG20. I did have a somewhat vested interest in this sequence because I have already printed out GG15, GG14, and the TPM sourcebook renamed as GG13.

Of course my vision for the fanmade GG series is all a pipe dream as long as these GGs are not being made, so the numbering of them is presently moot (and I admit that I haven't done much of anything to help my suggested pattern become established). And a monkey wrench was thrown into my vision when another community (at least I assume they aren't here except for perhaps lurking) made their own GG17 on Cyborgs and Cybernetics. I can't really blame them because our RotS GG has been stalled for many years now (My understanding it mainly still needs character fluff write-ups). And this new GG17 does actually exist, unlike the gamblers and scoundrels GG.

I am just very pleased to see that there was a historical basis for the legendary GG13 that a lot of people hoped would turn up someday. I still have no hope for an actually fully fluffed-out GG from back then to ever turn up, but if it does I will be the first to admit my skepticism was misplaced. And regarding your offer to collaborate with others and make it happen now, that's great. I am no longer holding on to my previously suggested sequence of GGs because whatever the community makes, I know how to edit PDFs and I can rename as I see fit for the purposes of printing them for my bookshelf.

On a somewhat related note, I have plans for someday making a sourcebook that combines and reformats GG6 Tramp Freighters, Platt's Smugglers Guide, Stock Ships and fluffing out the "It's a Gambler's Life" article from Adventure Journal #4 into a player handbook called Gamblers, Tramps & Smugglers. But it won't have much original material and it's not a priority so is probably still a few years off.

Thanks for catching me up Whill

I've posted a new thread to see if there is any interest in working on it. Cast the net and see what happens

It seems the Fates have decided that now is the time for the resurrection of GG13.

While digging through my voluminous SWD6 files looking for something else entirely, I found a folder buried deep at the back of a string of other folders. It was entitled Gamblers & Scoundrels.

In that folder were two files: GG13 and Outline.

GG13 is a mostly incomplete text (all of the first chapter and part of the second), but includes a great deal of Fluff on the matter. In addition, the title page does, in fact, say "Galaxy Guide 13: Gamblers & Scoundrels".

Outline is five pages of notes, some duplicating material found in the GG13 file, but also includes some overlapping material.

And yes, I am somewhat chagrined that I just now found this file, which shows as last modified sometime in September of 2012. As you will see, there isn't a lot of game-usable material to be had. However, when combined with the Scoundrels file provided by deano, it is an additional piece of the puzzle.

I feel like I'm physically watching the pages of history roll back to reveal ancient hidden treasure.

I went looking for my copy of the Scoundrel's document today, and I looks like I never downloaded it. Also, the link earlier in the thread is a 404. Would anyone mind reposting it?

More info from Johnathan. He is a member of the Pit, under the handle of Trusty. I checked some of his message history, and it looks like I got the two files I had from him; the conversation occurred in September 2012.
