So, after many years absence, I've returned with another update of our ongoing 3rd edition project with all the latest stuff we've come up with over the years. I've edited the first post in this chain so that the new link is the first thing that comes up.
But here's the latest document:
Star Wars Unleashed Edition
| Quote: | Hello all.
So, as has become a habit, after many years and several games, I return to the site where I lurk more often than post to update you all on the progress of our little 3rd edition has made. I do hope everything has continued well here while we turned our attention to games other than Star Wars.
Recently, we returned to Star Wars after a good year-long hiatus, and I took the time to recompile the latest version of our rules into a new format for my players to use and enjoy. There are still some formatting issues I'm trying to iron out and some bits that aren't done - mostly things we just happen not to be using in our current game and haven't yet raised up on the list of priorities - so there will probably be more updates in the future. Hopefully it will still be an interesting resource for others.
You can find the latest document here:
Star Wars Unleashed Edition
The document was created purely to use among our own roleplaying group as a central resource for our current version of the game.
I'm sure this version is not for everyone, but this site has contributed a lot to the document over the years. All your wonderful fan produced material has been a wonderful inspiration to us over the years and we have incorporated more than a small amount of material from this site into our rules. I suspect all of the big contributors here would find something of their own in these rules somewhere, going back many decades.
Just off the top of my head, I think the Discernment skill came from here, our Astrogation rules, and while I'm sure we came up with the idea of the FOR attribute on our own (who hasn't), I've spent many fun hours reading through the various versions of that idea that have been posted here.
I would like to thank the REUP team especially, who inspired this latest update. The amount of work put into that document by a group of fans is truly incredible and I "borrowed" not only most of the layout that it used, but almost your whole "Galaxy" chapter as it is simply one of the best write-ups of the Stars Wars universe from a role-palying stance that I have ever seen.
Hopefully people here will still find something useful in here for them. |

Do you mind if we share this in the Library? |
I would be honoured  .
Out of curiosity, do you share the link or do you host a copy of the file somewhere? If you share the link, it would mean as we make adjustments, it would update automatically is all.
I'm still trying to get the formatting to work properly. Word keeps compiling it wrong. Its made up of several different documents which word scrambles a little when it merges them. |

I would download it and upload it there. But I can wait a while to do that if there are still adjustments being done. After you feel pretty secure with it, post that here to let us know.
And then if there are updates in the future of that, just reply here that the original file was updated so I can then update the copy hosted by the Pit.
Thanks.

Success! After much gentle persuasion, I have convinced Word to publish the document without warping the formatting.
So this is the likely latest incarnation for a while.

Just done an update on the rules.
Star Wars Unleashed Edition
The changes are scattered throughout.
Our latest game has had a very dark, under-world, vibe. Gave me good reason to fill out some of the dark side talents in the Force chapter. You will find the Fleshcrafters of Nyx and the Sith have a lot of new material.
I finally added the Noghri to the alien chapter.
There's been a general clean-up and expansion of the dark side talents.
All the Force tradition edges have been moved to the Force chapter for consistency.
The Wardens of the Sky have got a proper edge and a few more unleashed talents.

 So, that is where they are supposed to be. But my group never uses templates - they like to do it themselves - and so I have very few examples to work with and they never quite make it to the top of the "to do" list. At some point, I'll start putting together the few I've made and put together a few more and add them to the end of the doc, but I don't know when that'll happen.
For now, that's where they would be.

Just to let everyone know that there's been another little update.
There's a few more bits and pieces throughout:
There's an extra Edge in the character creation chapter.
Added a couple more talents to the Sith chapter.
There are a few templates so that the chapter is in place. Still quite a few more of these to do, but a couple of my favourites have either been written up here or translated from other editions of the game.
Still having some minor formatting issues with the templates, but hopefully I'll get that fixed.

Hi everyone again.
And so soon after the last update. Appears that I've been in a really big Star Wars mood and I've finally managed to fix the indexing and formatting issue. Not really sure how I did or if I can do it again when next I publish another update but for the time being, I'll take it.
This update we have several new additions:
* The usual little fixes as I find them. These obviously will probably continue indefinitely. Typos and the like are pervasive. I fix them when I see them. If anyone does find anything big while perusing the document, please do let me know.
* Added the Youthful Potential Edge. This one was designed pretty much for the Kid archetype (see below) and is similar to the Apprentice Edge in that its a good one to take when you don't know what you want and wanna be able to take another at some point after the game starts.
* Added some talents to the martial arts talents. Still a lot of martial arts that haven't made it into the document but we have most of the big one's that my group has used throughout the last few years.
* A couple of new manoeuvres in the combat chapter. Nothing especially amazing. Just stuff that I'd overlooked.
* A table of example melee and ranged weapons added to the equipment chapter. Just stuff we had put together previously but which I've now collated , and properly formatted for the document.
* The Blazing Chain tradition now has a section in the Force chapter. These guys almost didn't quite make it to a full entry but when I went to add them to the minor traditions stuff, I decided they just about qualified as a full tradition, see as how they have "studied" some Jedi and Sith stuff, know the Force is a unified thing and can be found on several different planets. They also ended up with two talents, which I tend to consider the minimum for a full Force tradition. They have not got an Edge, but that might come if someone decides to play one in my game.
* A through re-work of the Kilian Rangers (now termed the Kilian Knights) which I plan to use in a future game. This is quite a big lore-departure so will probably be of limited use to anyone that wants the more traditional Kilian Rangers but all the stuff you would need for them is present. Mostly, you would just be ignoring the fleshed out lore.
* The Nuat Vedrin how have a full write-up and Edge. Again, these guys are pretty exclusive to our games, but I'm sure there is stuff here that others might find useful in their game.
* A big update in the Flux chapter. There's a new Flux tradition and a lot more talents and stuff. Sure most people here aren't really looking at the chapter. The Flux has got to be the biggest lore departure in our game (although we have found it to be a surprisingly good fit for the Star Wars universe that really reinforces the vibe and is often a quite cool counterpoint to the Force).
[edit] * And the Force Adept edge for minor traditions [edit]
[edit 2:] Finished off some of the minor traditions. Have added Agents of Ossus, Ember of Vahl, Order of Shasa and the Keetael to the Force chapter. [edit]
* And finally, a couple more templates added to the appendix.
I think that's everything. And now there should be something close to a useful content tab in the PDF and some of the hyperlinks might even work.
