I love the old stuff that came out when I was getting started as a kid, but I think going backwards to resurrect Greyhawk, Dark Sun, Dragonlance, etc. is a distraction. So to settle the issue, I would announce free 100 page PDF settings overviews / recaps with conversion guides to go with all...

My point was exactly that "unexpected" is not a game term. Some people seemed to be arguing that "surprise" should cover situations where the PC acts in an unexpected way because their understanding of "doesn't notice a threat" hinges on whether they "expect a threatening action" instead of "see...

I think "surprised" as a game rule is different than "unexpected." If you rule the guards are surprised, you are basically saying that they are standing there with their mouths gaping for a full six seconds while the PC draws a weapon, moves next to them, and wails on them. They don't even get...

I'm not sure if we are having two different discussions here… A: people who want adventures with hooks and fluff that are clearly set in non-FR campaign settings (and those that disagree with them) B: people who want campaign settings books that are not FR (and those that disagree with them)...

Definitely. I think it's meant for blueprints and such things (you can check some details at staples.com). It was rolled up tight for a week (not sure how the paper stock is stored before printing), but released the curl pretty quickly after laying it out. Heavy enough to lay nice and flat on...

Just coming back around to show how the oversized engineering print turned out. Cost about $12.

Just reporting back that Photoshop turned out to be the right tool for "placing" all the images into a single file. I had assumed that all the tiles were the same size, but they actually vary just slightly. I made the canvas 8x the width and 4x the height of the first tile which ended being...

I did the same with the previous version. I printed it out as a 36x48 color engineering print at Staples for like $12. I was hoping to stitch together the files this time to do something even nicer. Honestly, the engineering print was nice enough and quite usable at the table. The stock is...

Has anyone been successful in stitching together the high-res tiled PDFs into a single file to submit to a printer to make a poster-sized map? I can easily submit the 1/2 res file, but was hoping to build something with the higher res version. Somewhat related: is there an easy way to remove...

Small laser perforation on both sides. I had to be careful to get a good crease on the perforation, because it is small.

I worked it back and forth several times to create a crease and loosen the perforation on each side and then slowly started working down from the edges, alternating back and forth between the left and right and top and bottom. If I got to a part that didn't separate easily, I folded it back and...

I don't understand your reaction either. Do you think this limits your ability to create new magic items to include in the open game content you create? You should be fine to use the DMG rules and just provide the result as open game content. Do you want to write your own magic item rules? You...

Can I make this into a feature request then? I just need a simple link to "Discuss this in the forums" somewhere on the page.

Is there a way to jump from the "news" post to the discussion thread? For reasons, I don't like reading the news threads and would rather read such posts in the regular discussion thread. If I follow a link to the news post, is there a way to jump to the same item in the forum? Example News...

Thanks for the run-down. That actually helps a lot. I'm really curious about this one bit - what do you mean by "a much more vague way" below? Vague as in, there are fewer explicit connections to the movies?

Thanks, Aramis-erak. If I pick up one of the FFG core rulebooks, is there a natural place to start? I don't quite get what the different "versions" mean.

I'd like to read the Star Wars RPG books and learn the system. There's little chance that I will actually play the game, but I'd still like to read up on it. I love Star Wars and RPGs, so the chance to combine the two is almost too good to pass up. Where should I start? D6, FFG? Edge of Empire...

Sorry to hear that. Only as a data point, I was able to run it well on my late 2012 iMac. Ran into some glitches during play, but overall it ran fine. I'm on 10.10.5
