Re: G+ Community Files Rework...


Here's the link for the new Community Files Google Drive:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1k0RHGM-uz2RKLx_crB6umrvPUmn2CZ5Q?usp=share_link

I will be adding in the files from the old Drive as time allows. If you want to add your own files, that's fine, however I will ask you to follow WEG formatting. It makes life easier on all of us. Also I will ask you to note in the file header what Edition (1E or 2E) you're using. That way I can add the appropriate sub-divisions as needed.

I admire your dedication and enthusiasm. And crowdsourcing part of this is really the only way you can tackle it. Props to you, friend.

...keeps the Admin away. I've moved *most* of the non-ship files over. I'm going to (try to) complete 1 folder/day. I've already migrated the Attack Ships, Bulk Freighters, and Carriers folders. The larger folders, such as the Corvette, are going to done last.

The old files are finally all moved over. They're arranged by faction first, and type second. Some stuff, such as the adventures, NPCs and other GM tools are housed in a separate folder that I'll get around to sorting as time allows.

I think the idea of introducing morale is pretty interesting. I think one of the things we do a little too often in RPGs is make every combat a fight to the death. While it's unlikely that Stormtroopers are going to give up at the first sign of resistance, wild animals, a hot-headed street brute, or a small gang of bandits are not going to be so committed to the fight. I think this is an interesting system. I think I'd probably give it a shot when the tide of a battle seems to shift.

I did something along those lines for psychological effects a while ago, but it could use some more detail on practical application. I’ll have to give the Morale rules a look…

EDIT: Looked, but couldn’t find said rules in any of the obvious places. Link?

The CRMcNeill Stat/Rule Index

I decided to take the ships down as I'm not happy with them, particularly in regards to the sensors. When I created them I pulled the sensor stats from existing ships, however WEG didn't have a statline editor, which resulted in multiple instances of redundant conflicting statblocks (I'm looking at you Imperial Customs Frigate) in addition to ..... a certain amount of confusion as to what exactly constituted certain classes of ship (i.e. light crusiers having less firepower than some frigates). As a result I'm going to resume my SQL studies (with a concurrent drop in Rancor Pit activity) with a possible sidetrip into AI to *try* to bring some amount of coherency to the chaos that is WEG SW ship stats.

I'll continue to upload stuff and manage the Drive as often as I'm able, but since I'm planning on putting in 8-12 hr worknights (my regular job is a 12-hr night-shift grind-fest ), activity is very likely to limited at best.
