Conversions - Rebellion Era Campaign Guide

Gry Sarth

Book's not out yet, but the first excerpt showed up online dealing with a few SpecForce operatives. Do the folks at WEG get any royalties for this kind of stuff? Cause it seems this book will contain a whole lot of simple conversion, rephrasing and republishing of stuff WEG came up with. I do like that they used the SpaceOps armour which appeared in the comics, though. However this brings out one aspect of Saga that I hate: oversimplification. So you have this uber-cool Space Marine armor depicted, and how does it reflect stat-wise? "+2 armor". That's it. Come on, doesn't the thing has some sort of MFTAS? Night-vision? Sound-dampening? Energy-absorption? Frigging vacuum-support?!

Anyway, doesn't seem like there will be much work that'll need to be done for this book...

They better have detailed stats of the drums Ak-Rev uses in Jabba's palace in this sourcebook. I mean, what's the damage code if you pick it up and throw it at a stormtrooper?

The new preview is up!

Thanks for the heads up, Chesh.

There isn't a source listed on the TIE Oppressor. Does that mean we need to check its current stats against new converted stats? That is to day, are the D6 stats just a guesstimate from a video game, or are they actually based on something?

If an item in one of my books doesn't have a source, that means the stats were not based on any official ones and are just a personal interpretation of the item taking into consideration any available info.

I know they apparently don't appear in this book, but I thought it would be nice to go ahead and stat the remaining Experimental TIEs and include the whole bunch in the PDF.

I went to the Wizards board to see if anyone had posted a preview of their own, and I was lucky. Someone had posted all the names of all the new stats that they have in the book. I took the liberty of cross referencing those names with the names that appear in Gry's stat books and found a list of things that we'll need to convert.

This looks pretty ship heavy and speeder heavy. It's possible that there are a few things that I've missed, but this should at least give us a good idea of what to expect.

Forceally, if you wouldn't mind double-checking me once you get the book, I would really appreciate your help. You're always good about the details.

That's great, thanks a bunch. That's a good list. As predicted, they did dig hard from some of the video games. There are several from X-Wing Alliance there. It seems we'll get "official" stats for several ships which I had statted based on game observation.

Should be a fun and quick conversion (time permitting). Hope to get the book as soon as possible.

After surfing Wookieepedia collecting images for this pdf, it does seem that pretty much everything in this book comes either from either X-Wing Alliance, Galaxies or Empire at War. I guess naming this the "Video Games Catch-Up Sourcebook" wouldn't be very marketable.
