As a side note, I believe that KotOR uses the NWN engine, so that may be what happens.

AFAIK, KOTOR will not be using the Aurora (NWN) engine. A new engine is being used for it, one that makes the Aurora engine look butt-ugly. grin

- What do I like?
The links to magazine articles and the Wizards scoops.

- What do I not like?
The page looks, well, almost empty.

- What would I like to see?
First of all, scoops from those astounding fan pages as SWRPGNetwork or starwars-rpg.net. There's been some good material in this forum, like the Anzati stats; they deserve recognition. Interviews with game designers the way TF.N Books do would be great. Reviews of SWRPG manuals. A release schedule that doesn't end with DSSB wink . And, hmmm, d20 Kalandar? Yeah, I know, lots of things grin but that's what i would like.

- Any other comments/questions?
Bring it back to life!!

So the Ultimate Alien Anthology thread was closed why?

I didn't close it -- look at the header. It tells you if someone else edited it.

I can't see any other name aside from the original poster's. All I saw was that the topic was locked.

Coming Soon - The New Republic Era Sourcebook

Is that really coming soon (by a licensed canon source) or is that wishful thinking? happy

Nice job sidestepping the question - I still see nothing aside from Silver-Blade's name on the post.

Are you trying to say that there is a Rogue Mod running around TF.N's boards just closing threads?

I didn't sidestep anything. I didn't close it. No other Mod did either. It was likely locked by the user (which is possible within the 90 minute edit time).

EDIT: I checked -- one can "Lock Topic" when posting the first post so it can simply be posted locked. This will cause the thread to be locked and no name to appear for "Edited By:"

So please don't accuse me of "sidestepping" anything. If something happened, I'll let you know. I don't lock threads without cause or disclosing reasons (and wouldn't let anyone else do it either).

Thanks for the explaination, that's exactly what I was looking for. I had no idea that someone, aside from a Mod, could lock a thread.

As for your question: It's a project that myself and about a dozen other members of the SWRPG community have been working on for a couple months. Right now it looks like it'll be larger than any other Star Wars resource availible (official or unofficial). We started this since WotC has said they don't have it planned for anytime in the near future (meaning a least not before Ep3).

I hope even more that WOTC buys the rights to it! I'd LOOOOOOOVE something like that to be official! happy

(plus when you get filthy rich off of it, you can buy us all copies... wink )

Uh, this might be a stupid suggestion but... er... what about a forum banner?
