I switched back to other games: D&D, WoD, et all. Can we post about those? I know some of us can reminisce about the 80's rpg heydays.

I don't see a problem having a thread or two about some other game systems, as long as they don't take over the forum.

For the record, I still read this forum almost every day, to see if there's anything I can chime in on...just hasn't been anything going on here. We've got some very active forums over on Wizards.com and the Holonet is still going (though I don't see as much traffic there these days), so there's plenty of people out there talking about the books.

Glad you at least check in happy We'll try to make this place a little more hopping for you.

I have an idea, but it might be a bit of a logistical head-ache.

How about having a store of fan-made content, much like SWRPG Network. I don't want to step on Moridin's toes but It would be nice if we could organise the stats that people here went to a lot of work to put together rather than have them disappear onto pages of locked threads.

which stats? Sorry, just trying to make sure I understand. People have posted builds for everything from SW characters to builds for characters from movies, cartoons, and tv shows.

Yeah, could you give a little more info about what you're talking about? Are you thinking just a thread gathering these things, a whole separate site, focusing on just SW stuff, other genres?

I'm pretty sure (correct me if I'm wrong) he means people can just post fan-made stats for vehicles, ships, droids, characters, etc. from Star Wars lore. I don't know how we'd store that, in a single thread, or a forum or a website....

I'm always game for new reading material.
We have a thread for low-level characters, and one for adventure ideas.
A thread for monsters/beasts might not be bad.
Also one for starships could be good. Getting pictures up as well could be a hosting problem.

Somewhere there used to be a thread for non-sw characters where I put Blakes7 and such, but would also be handy for anyone else building any character inspired by non-sw sources (wolverine, superman, etc)

I could host pictures if people email me them. My photobucket account hold a bunch of FF stuff so it's no big happy

How about if we did a thread for each one: Gear (weapons/armour/supplies), Vehicles (starship/ground/air), People & Droids (random characters and canon characters not covered by the sourcebooks), then fears, force powers and so on.

Rogue_Thunder has the idea; As RPG-ers we have to have some sort of creativity, but this isn't really being shared on this forum right now. The social thread is the busiest thread pretty much, very little that's created for the benefit of the game is being talked about.

Now that I've got a bit more time to expand on my ideas, this (above) is generally what I meant.

I think of the above thread suggestions, it's important the feats / force powers one doesn't grow to the dereliction of the house rules thread which already exists.

The thing to remember also is that rather than just purely homebrewed stats, it'd be advantageous to have 'modified' item stats. How have your party pimped their ride? What weapon mod gave you the capability of taking out the crime lord who killed your characters' family?

So now that we're all on the same page, what are the chances that we can create the threads and have them stickied? That way they're all together and easy to find, and we're only talking about 4 or 5 threads tops, and the Lit forum has more stickies than that at any given time.

Personally I don't like having more than one or two threads stickied in a forum. But we could create an index listing all of them and put it in one sticky. That would just leave us with two stickies. Forum will look neater and we could use the index for other threads too.
