Good to hear that things are working out, at least.

How are the templates going?

Not bad.

The main obstacle right now is an issue related to Defence and the distinction between Blade and Combat tricks. This is the one area where a straight conversion does not work.

Hmm, buggery. What's the Defense issue? Like, how we're taking dice off of their attacks and such? I can imagine that'd be a bit weird...

So where is the Starkiller 3, Rex?

I haven't quite posted it. I'm working on posting the rest of Starkiller 2 first.

I can send it along if you want it, though. If there's any Gallador-bashing, don't take offense to it, it's all from Galder's point of view. 😛

There basic issue is that in Matrix, it is just one set of powers, and you have to marshall them accordingly.

It's a bit harder in Star Wars. If a person has Gun, Blade and Combat powers, how many shoukld he be allowed to use? Blade and Combat is paritcularly where it overlays. There are some issues related to 'stances' (very much a Blade trick thingy) that get buggered up when a wily rules guy starts using Blade Tricks purely to attack and mixes them with Combat Tricks purely to Defend.

So, we need a system to regulate how many of each type you can use, and then a system to stop people abusively mixing Combat and Blade for defence.

I must say of that I am the most interested in seeing how Blade Tricks will turn out...not too surprising though; before I could pick a whole ton of them but never really used them beyond taking full advantage of CoC.

Heh, sounds complicated...

Same! I want some benefits for being a down-trodden, abused non-human!

*clicks in Geonosian language*

I just fielded that qustion a few pages back...

That was two months ago. Are you saying you still haven't done much of anything? ermm

Yes, not quick enough...... how about we lock Ush in dungeon so he can devote all his time to to role-playing? 😈

We could sic Lana on him... 😄

*more random pointless clicking*

Well, it's still in development rather than testing, which basically means I've not yet set eyes on it.

Meanwhile!

My brother, in gratitude for the winderful map work, leaves you this message:

"Ooooh.

Have yet to find Lanzar, Talora* or Gondokorro which
would bring things up to date to your point in the
story (of course, your players may not have gone to
Talora or Gondokorro yet).

However, ask them to add the following which should be
in the next set of stories.

Kalinus VI (somewhere in H6 looks good).
Ciceronicus (a Core World in L12).

A sector of space in the unknown region in G12 called
"The Tregana Void" (taking up most of the square).

Around the centre of this sector we should have
Selanne. On the edge of this sector (near the
Republic) there is a world called Datura.

There you go; not quite all the new worlds you be
bringing death and mayhem to in the next story but
enough for some speculation.

*funnily enough, not Xeth's sponsor world, but the site of the Renegade's next story when played off-line. Sheer coincidence that the names were similar when thought up, and hence that won't be tha name used when we play it here. But, it does remind me that Xeth can decide where Taloora is.

The Tregana Void sounds interesting..... We really need some place to rule outside Republic. Actually it is the only way there can be something resembling "happy" ending for Darkside, though to be realistic we should kill each other sooner or later.

How similar was your brother`s game so far?

For the latest campaign on the Dark Side that's very hard to judge as you did two entire episodes written specifically for the on-line game.

Woo! I'll get to work on this new interesting stuff as soon as I can. Though it'd be nice to have some hint as to where to add Lanzar and Gondokorro as well. 😄
