In need of the Starship and Vehicle rules for the D20 system.

If it isn't too much trouble to ask, could someone please either post the rules for starships and vehicles or post a reliable link to a site that has these rules? I'm in need of them for an RPG I've had in the works for some time now and thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

 

What rules are you looking for?
Ship stats?
Combat rules?
Construction rules?
Modification rules?
we can't post them all, but a summary based on what you need might be managable

 

I dont need stats, i've got some saved somewhere but i never got around to being able to check out the construction, combat and modification rules to see how i could apply and change them for my game.

 

I don't have much experiance with starship combatso the best thing i can do is point you in the direction of wizzards web sight. I posted a thread called lots of d20. In it is a link to wotc's d20 open content page, click on it and look at the d20 modern msrd. In the d20 future section they have a downloadable thing on starships and ship combat.

actualy here is a more direct link.

There will also be a simplified d20 Star Wars Starships game coming out 2006-2007 from WotC, hopefully with new ship sourcebooks.

 

Thanks alot to everyone for your help, especially NJOfan. I found basically exactly what I needed and then some so I should be able to get back to work on it soon hopefully. In any case thanks alot and if anyone is interested in my game at all fell free to ask.

 

Thanks therren.

Rogue, that's awesome news. I hope it turns out to be true.

 

Well, the Starships game is confirmed in this chat, but so far we have few hard facts on it. Here's some of what we do know:

-it will be based on the d20 system

-it will be separate from the current minis Game, but similar

-the ships will not be to exact scale, but rather "relative scale"

<beyond667> If there are fighters and capital ships in the starship Game, can we expect some not-so-realistic scale of the models in relation to each other, like between tanks and infantry in AAM?
<WotC_BillS> Our plan is to do a Game that is more relative in scale than realistic ... otherwise we can't get the ships we want into the Game.

Other than that, we don't know too much. I know that a lot of fans would really want some new ships sourcebooks (look at the prices of Ships of the Galaxy on ebay), so its possible that they could produce some of them.

Can't wait...

 

yay, create another game based on the d20 system, giving fans 50 systems to work from, that'll work

just make a new star wars rpg book!

 

Um, I think its another mini's collection. matter of fact, I'm sure it is. Course, people could still take stats from new ships in the series and unsimplify them for the rpg.

I hope for two things there: they have all the same factions as the ground minis, and that they'll have XWA ships.

 

I hope so too. We need diversity in our ships, not just plain old X-wings, TIEs, and Star Destroyers. If the starship sets have 60 figures like the current minis game, then they might be able to take out all of the Classic ships our in a set or two, and pave the way for EU ones.

Personally, I really want a TIE Defender, a XG-1 Gunboat, and some model capital ships. Some Vong ships would be interesting, too.

 

It is possible to make the stats for other ships fairly easily using the rules they give in the primary rulebook. I was able to make stats for the B-Wing and the TIE Defender based on a couple of vehicle books that I have (unrelated to the game). Unfortunately I've no clue where they are...
