X-Wing: Rogue Squadron Fan-Made Sourcebook

How could you do this, and NOT include the comics? Just keep in mind that Dllr Nep, Herian Ingre, Cartariun, and Girov Dza'tey were all Force-sensitive.

Are you planning to include the Wraiths and Starfighters of Adumar? WotC had a bunch of articles about Adumar. You could use them as reference, or just convert them from d20 to d6.

For that matter, what about I, Jedi? Here are several reasons why it should be included:
1. It's written by Stackpole, who wrote most of the X-Wing novels and comics.
2. Corran is the primary character in the story, and it's told from his POV.
3. Leonia Tavira is one of the main adversaries.
4. A good number of prominent figures from the X-Wing novels shows up in the book.
5. Over half the book deals with starfighters, space battles, and space jockeys.

As for the ships, Xynar's suggestion is the best way to go, but I think you should include stats for the Lusankya and Avarice/Freedom after the Battle of Thyferra to show how badly damaged they got. Same goes for the Iron Fist after the Battle of Selaggis.

Since it'll be Rogue Squadron only, then will Starfighters of Adumar be covered as well? Your answer wasn't very clear about that book.

Hi,

Long time lurker, first time poster. While trolling thru some links for D6 Star Wars info that I plan to use for my campaign, I found this web site.

http://www.geocities.com/nridatabase/index.htm

I hope this link will help the person who's wanting to make a Rogue Squadron source book.

Thanks.

Wow. Looks like I have little work to do after all. I don't want to do this if someone else has already done it. I will try to contact the person that did this and see if he wants to help out.

It's not dead, we flooded the site and made the person exceed their bandwidth limit. Geocities is bad about that.

You can still see it all here, via the Way Back Machine.

Wow, that's great. If we could get that guy's approval, we could use all that material, tweak it to our liking and fill in the blanks and have a kick-@$$ X-Wing Sourcebook much quicker.

It would serve well as a base template for some characters. But keep in mind they were written back in 2000. SWRPGNetwork and some other sites might have d6 stats, either original or converted from d20, which could have been created post-2000. Shouldn't we consider consulting these sites before going forward?

Also, does anyone know if there are any sourcebooks in the forums here dealing with some of the other topics covered on that website? Like Jedi Academy: Leviathan, the YJK books, etc.

Yes, this site would be a great starting point, but it's not the final product. We would scour the net for other stats, either original or d20 converted, and add our own input to come up with the final stats. However bear in mind that there's no new relevant information on these stats that could have been released after 2000. And d20 conversions are potentially no better than what this guy created. But one good thing is that he already has lots of descriptive text boxes for all those items, which is something that tends to stall a fanbook (at least that's what happened to my Ep3 book).
