[Note: This threat used to be called "New Fanbook Idea" though I changed it to fit with the rest of the conversion book threats, as to make it easier to find. Edited 7-20-09]

Gry has done some really great books with the aliens, weapons, equipment, force powers, starships, etc. The books are pretty well definitive for Star Wars RPG before Saga edition.

However, now that Saga is coming out with new sourcebooks (Starships of the Galaxy, and Force Unleashed Campaign guide will be out this year), it's a good idea to keep up with the conversions.

I'm suggesting that we do an anual conversion guide. It will essentially be a sourcebook for everything that that's new to the RPG for that year. The chapters will correspond to the stat books that already exist, so we'll have a chapter on the force, a chapter on droids, and chapter on starships, and so on.

I'm willing to put in the effort to doing at least the Force section of the books. I've got the Saga Edition and I've already looked at new Force talents, feats, and powers. I've also had some work trying to convert weapons, so I can at least help there too.

Would anyone else be willing to contribute to the effort?

Sure. I can even help out with getting information straight from the Saga Book now, if anyone needs it.

I can host the final product, and can work with editing, and putting the information together. I dont have any of the books, or experience converting, but i can help with the organization of the project.

That actually sounds like a great idea. I was all over the idea of the Rebellion D6 Conversion site. And this could be like a book version of that.

Sorry for the double, and thanks for the encouragement. But I'm wondering, how many people would actually be able to help convert?

Xynar · Posted: Sat Sep 08, 2007 10:12 pm Post subject:

By true statistics or by common sense? After all, some things don't convert by mechanics alone. I can help when I get the books and resources. But it will not be for a bit as I have a one month old to contend with right now.

I had already talked to Cheshire about this, and I think it's a great idea. If would be like an anual supplement for my Stats books that are already out there, and certainly already outdated in many instances.

However, I don't think we should just limit ourselves to converting the new Saga Edition stats. Sure, that should be part of it, but there's room for more. There are many additions to the Star Wars universe being created all the time, that don't get included in the d20 books, and we should include those as well, as fan-made stats to official items. When making the Stats books there were many instances of items (mainly from Ep3 but also from other major EU sources) that weren't statted anywhere and simply HAD to be included somehow, so I went ahead, gathered all the knowledge I could on said item and came up with original stats for that.

Summing up, anything not already included in the Stats books should be game (and even some things incorrectly statted in those books could be amended).

I've started a little bit of work on converting starfighters. It's uphill work, but I'm starting to get a basis for a ballpark figure. I'm afraid that I won't be able to produce hard and fast rules like Gary Asleford. But once I've got a reasonable system, I'll go ahead and post it here.

One thing that I just realized would be a great addition, would be detailed rules concerning R2's and mid flight repairs.
