Message: <blockquote data-quote="Insight" data-source="post: 2844494" data-attributes="member: 11437">This is intended as a discussion thread for an upcoming True20 Star Wars game.  Right now, I'm looking for players interested in such a game, but not character concepts.  That will come later, in about a week or so.  I will be looking for 3-5 players for this game.I would also like for people interested in helping with the conversion process, or contributing to the process, to get involved.  This can be players, or even people who don't have time/interest to play, but would like to contribute.So in essence, this is a rules and game thread - for now.  It will become solely a game thread once the conversion process is complete.IMPORTANT NOTE:The conversion process (changing or creating Star Wars content for True20) will be lengthy (maybe a week or more), while I go through both the D20 Star Wars material and the True20 material.  My goals in this are the following:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Stick to Movie Canon, and add other elements from the Expanded Universe as need be.  Don't assume that anything not appearing in a movie is going to exist (but it might!)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Use as much of the Star Wars D20 rules as seems appropriate both to my sense of the 'feel' of Star Wars and the True20 system.  Again, don't assume that your favorite WOTC mechanic is going to reappear in this game.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Use as much of the True20 rules as seems appropriate, changing or adding mechanics to suit the genre.  This is definitely a True20 game, but it will not be 'straight' True20.  Expect cool and interesting changes to the base game.</li> </ul>I plan to be the main developer of this conversion, but not necessarily the only developer.  If any of you have ideas, comments, concerns, please let them be known.  One more thing that may be quite important.  I don't own every Star Wars D20 book known to mankind.  I can only convert material for which I have resources.  If any of you have something you really want to use, I will convert it and allow it for use if a) it fits with my sense of the Star Wars universe and b) you have the original game rules for it.CHARACTERSI am not looking for character concepts at this point, but I will reveal certain elements that will be part of the initial story.  What I would like is to find out who is interested in the game, but I don't need your concepts right now.  One of the reasons I don't want characters right now is that the rule conversion is still in development.  You won't know what you want until it's done.  Likewise, I expect the rule conversion to take the majority of my time, and I won't have a chance to look at character ideas until the conversion document is done.THE STORY:This game will be set in the Rebellion era, during the events of Empire Strikes Back.  The Imperial attack on Hoth has just occurred at the beginning of our game.  Your characters are Rebel operatives (or perhaps former Rebel operatives) who did not make the transports leaving Hoth, and have managed to evade the Imperials who landed and scoured the base.  You are still on Hoth, and need to find a way off-planet before the Imperials destroy the base.Other events and details will be revealed as warranted.UP NEXT:Forthcoming will be some very general ideas about the conversion that I have already developed.  Note that at the end of this will be a conversion document that will fully explain all changes and additions to the True20 rules for the purposes of this game.Feel free to post your questions or comments as they arise.</blockquote>
