    Looking for some overall feedback to this new project. I'm currently working on a game setting in Truane's Star that predates the UPF by a century. Considering the difference in technology between modern setting games and pre-history timeframes, as such I'm redefining some of the items from AD and KH but retaining the same game mechanics. Still got a ways to go yet, but it's taking shape.

    Since we get posts on here from time to time about how the Star Wars Saga Roleplaying game is going the way of the dodo, I would like to provide a linkable thread that demonstrates that the game is very much alive.

    Books already in print since summer 2007:
    Saga Edition Core Rulebook (Now in its second printing of a Second Edition)
    Starships of the Galaxy (OoP and sold out in all online sources; Still available in hobby shops)
    Threats of the Galaxy

    I had Dralasite character use a pedal powered bicycle in a game once, which was funny and helped him get around a bit faster than normal.

    Las Vegas, NV --- A pair of elderly white females were arrested for selling heroin during a massive LVMPD sting operation. Profiling doesn't work...


    Savannah, GA --- Fumes from an office refrigerator cleaning incident leaves seven people hospitalized.


    Chongqing, China --- China's first-ever sexually explicit theme park proved to be 'too hot' for local authorities, and was torn down prior to the grand opening.

    I guess I've been thinking about this alot lately, cause you always think, "Boy, wouldn't it be great if the road blocks to SF being in print and having the full support of a viable non head up the butt company behind it."
    I was laying in bed contemplating getting up when it hit me.:

    The single biggest thing I'd love to see, if anyone ever managed to buy the SF product from WOTC or if they said hey lets see if we can't squeeze this dusty old game for a few dollars more is: Miniatures!!!!!!

    Quote:
    The first 7-8 spots were pretty solid, then there was a bit of a vote drop-off, then spots 17-25 were fiercely contest, as were the honorable mention. All of the honorable mentions missed out on the Top 25 by 40 points or less.

    You voted, you decided. Without further ado, here's your Top 25!:

    I mutilated Larry's original starship design worksheet and came up with this:

    http://starfrontiers.us/node/3638


    It isn't canon, and it ain't pretty, but it works. Instead of MHS points, I used a Hull Point system similar to Alternity's ship design system.

    I used a couple of Shadow Shack's gizmos(the Deflector Shield(1 HP per point of Hull Size, can take up to (HS+1) hits before going offline, absorbing 75% damage each hit)and the Heavy Laser Cannon(6 HP; 6D10 hull damage*).

    "You're everything that's base in humanity," Cochrane continued. "Drawing up strict, senseless rules for the sole reason of putting you at the top and excluding anyone you say doesn't belong or fit in, for no other reason than just because you say so."
