Conversions - Knights of the Old Republic Campaign Guide

[cheshire]

I thought I'd just post a taste of what we can expect in the weeks to come.

[Gry Sarth]

I've converted what they've released as previews, but I'm waiting for the final product to pop around to dive into the whole thing.

I'm holding the finished product right now. I haven't done more than flip through it a bit, but it looks cool.

I am slightly disappointed that they've only made stats for one new freighter for the era, and it's a heavily armored and well armed freighter. Also very expensive.

[Gry Sarth]

Well, did they create original material or only use what's in the game/comics? Cause as far as the game goes, there was only the Ebon Hawk as a freighter...

BTW, good stats. I don't have the Saga version to compare the conversion, but looks good. Just two things: try and add up the gunners and include them in the Crew line. And using weapon batteries is not really the WEG way. I usually consider 1 battery around 3-5 weapons and go from there...

I'm not familiar with the comics, but the way that it's looking, they may have generated some all new material just to give the players some options for the era.

Going by the Tales of the Jedi Companion, wouldn't a x12 Main drive, with a x19 backup be more apt for the period (the Vaya's x8 drive is the best in that book. Even though WOTC put out those drive numbers, I myself find that a bit too advanced for the time.

I admit I'm a purist!

Yeah well, you're basically right. But:
1- These are based on WOTC official stats, and if they give it a x2 rating, then, well, that's the official info.
2 - There's quite a difference in technological level between TotJ and KotOR. Even though they are only a few decades apart, the galaxy seems to have made a huge leap forward technologically. While TotJ seems genuinely ancient, KotOR is much closer to what we saw in the films...

Yeah, there are a few stats that I fudged, but the hyperdrive isn't one of them. Our basic assumptions from what we've seen is that the hyperdrive technology had their own Copernican Revolution, but the sensors had very little improvement. Until we can get some sort of official information otherwise, we're kind of going with that.

[cheshire]

Though it's not technically in the book, I converted it from a minis/RPG supplement they did when promoting the minis game. (And, really the mini for the thing looks pretty cool... but I digress.)

[cheshire]

[Gry Sarth]

I just got a hold of the book and skimmed through it. Look very nice, and wow, there's a huge amount of stats we can convert, lots of starships, vehicles and droids and other fun stuff.

I'll post the ones I had already done from the previews and then I'll try to go ahead converting and posting. Probably starting at alien species... Then when it's all done we can put my conversions with Cheshire's and whoever elses into a nice little PDF.
