	I haven't been around for on the boards as a whole for many reasons. I haven't been on this board much because i don't know anyone who plays star wars. I also don't want to start buying rule books just to make stats and read stats. The sourcebooks are still cool, but they are expensive. -----signature----- This council has zero tolerance for any sexual deviancy regarding our Jedi Knights.

	Yeah I'll agree with you there... I'm about 4 sourcebooks behind because I wasn't working until just recently, not getting caught up is going to be painful. -----signature----- "You look so tiny down there... like a little mean pepper shaker" - Palpatine to Darth Vader "I gotta say Boba this is one beauty of a ship... not crazy about the name though" - Lando to Boba Fett

	I've become a bit disillusioned with Saga which is why I haven't posted much. I'm nuts about Jedi but I haven't even plumped for the latest sourcebook. In my opinion the system's (weirdly) become too much like the KOTOR game and overly complicated AT THE SAME TIME. How it's happened, I don't know! -----signature----- Excellence - "'Cause some American-accent informed me Kun is Koon and Yun is Yoon doesn't mean I'm going to Megazord myself into robotic obediance."

	We need an edition war thread. That will get some posts

	I've been thinking about a new banner for us. Something that encompasses the Saga Edition, Minis, the older SW RPG books, stuff like that. I can't create banners myself so I'm going to have to ask someone or a couple someones to create some banners for us. Any requests, suggestions, volunteers? I'd rather someone in this forum create the banner since we'll be the ones seeing it daily, but if no one can or wants to I'll "hire out." If we do hire out, suggestions and graphics to send that person would be great help. -----signature----- EV got me demoted, a winnar is him "you will quickly be known as the cool teacher. just be sure to start of the clas by explaining to all students they are to address you as the admiral." -- jedi_knight_birr

	I'd be interested in giving it a go. Can you give us the specs? Xpixels by Ypixels type of thing? Prefered file format, etc. -----signature----- Create happy mediums: Free prozac to all psychics & Jedi I'm met 6yo adults and 36yo children Still working toward Ni-Kyu Go Ju Ryu

	Sorry, been meaning to post this for a bit. All of the banner making info can be found here. I prefer JPEGs but, GIFs would be ok as well. EDIT: If you don't want to make a style-sheet (the forum colors) I can do that. You don't have to make the banner match the current color scheme. -----signature----- EV got me demoted, a winnar is him "you will quickly be known as the cool teacher. just be sure to start of the clas by explaining to all students they are to address you as the admiral." -- jedi_knight_birr

	When you've finished, try a trial version of Adobe Illustrator, that has some nice saving options to get image size down whilst maintaining picture quality. I just wish I had the money to spare for the full version. -----signature----- Excellence - "'Cause some American-accent informed me Kun is Koon and Yun is Yoon doesn't mean I'm going to Megazord myself into robotic obediance."

Better drawing interface (way, way, wayyyyyy better than Illustrator), comparable software, far cheaper. -----signature----- Create happy mediums: Free prozac to all psychics & Jedi I'm met 6yo adults and 36yo children Still working toward Ni-Kyu Go Ju Ryu

	I thought you had the Corel apps, I slightly remembered you posting a bit of a rant when you had a problem upgrading. So is it pretty much the same thing?

	You remember correctly. that was my smart-a$$ suggestion to your wish for full version of adobe. CorelSuite: $300-500 Adobe packages: $1000-2500 CorelDraw way better than illustrator. Photopaint & Photoshop about equal RAVE sucks compared to Flash, but do you need it? no aftereffects, but haven't needed it. no dreamweaver, but if you type your own code, you don't need that either. Heck just get an old copy of Macromedia MX suite, and that solves that and flash. And you still have $1000 or so to buy the programs you do want. -----signature----- Create happy mediums: Free prozac to all psychics & Jedi I'm met 6yo adults and 36yo children Still working toward Ni-Kyu Go Ju Ryu

	I hear it's great if you're on a linux platform. My understanding is that it is on par with photoshop, but it isn't a vector-art program. -----signature----- Create happy mediums: Free prozac to all psychics & Jedi I'm met 6yo adults and 36yo children Still working toward Ni-Kyu Go Ju Ryu

	What are people's thoughts on having some "official" threads for each RPG series? For example, have a Saga thread, a d20 thread, a d6/WEG thread, etc. Would that be over kill or something useful? We'd keep the GM hotline for general GMing questions, but have the threads for issues specific to those platforms. I'd like to see us talk about the new RPG books as they come out, but I don't know if enough of us use the newer books to make that feasible. I'll talk to Lit and see what they do with their RPG threads and see if they'll give us a link. -----signature----- EV got me demoted, a winnar is him "you will quickly be known as the cool teacher. just be sure to start of the clas by explaining to all students they are to address you as the admiral." -- jedi_knight_birr

	Yeah, Magic:tG was a major RPG killer. On the other hand, it also distracted a lot of munchkins out from the RPG world--even better than the Munchkin games ever did. I'd have to say that M:tG and the minis system that WotC created have taken a severe toll--kind of the same way the "Touchy Feely" approach adopted by the CA school systems destroyed education. It was adopted and in place for so long, that everyone who knew the old way is gone, or has had to adapt. Even though the system has shown that it does not work as well (or in some cases at all), we can't go back. Maybe in another 5 to 10 years, RPGs will spring back, as another generation is brought into the fold.
