Josep Maria reacted to StriderZessei in Was trying to homebrew the Echani species, ended up making Saiyans
[Repost from my reddit account]
As you might infer from the title, I was trying to come up with a suitable homebrew of the Echani: a cool, martial-arts-oriented, human-like species. But halfway through, I realized I was making the Saiyans from Dragon Ball. Instead of backing up and and re-reading about the Echani for the billionth time on Wookieepedia, I decided to go full speed ahead and keep working out this idea that took root, just to see if I could be faithful to the source material without breaking the game.
Bear in mind, this isn't meant to encapsulate all the anime BS we see in Dragon Ball (flying, teleporting, transformations, etc.), but rather imagining the Saiyans as a culture and species if they were actually part of the Star Wars galaxy.
So without any further ado, take a look at draft 1:
BR 3 (Saiyans as a whole are a fairly hardy race, but the argument could be made to make them 2s across the board.)
AG 2
IN 2 (not all Saiyans are naïve dunces like Goku; some are brilliant scientists.)
WP 2
CU 2 (I considered making this a 3, because Saiyans are incredibly adept at surviving strange environs; they eat practically anything, and have few moral qualms that other species might have that hinder survival instincts; In his first appearance, Vegeta is seen eating the arm of what is assumed to be a sentient opponent he just killed.)
PR 1 (Most Saiyans are at least a little bit prickish, tending to take 'my way or the highway' stances, or outright threats and coercion when resolving disputes. Pretty sure Goku dumped all his XP into Presence at character creation.)
WT: Starting BR +12 (again, tough in general.)
ST: Starting WP +10
Starting XP: 90
Saiyans start with 1 rank of Brawl. This skill can be trained up to 3 at character creation.
Racial Traits:
-Instinctive Savagery: When unarmed, brawl attacks deal +1 damage per rank of Brawl.
I really wanted a trait that reflects the martial prowess of the Saiyan culture. Upon investing enough xp to get Brawl 5, the PC basically gets 'Deadly Accuracy: Brawl' for free. The downside is that this ONLY benefits them when they invest XP in Brawl, not upgrading it through other means, and activates solely when not using a weapon, much like Supreme Precision Strike.
Most Saiyans would likely consider using a weapon to be shameful (Trunks being the exception, since he was raised by his human mother.)
-Voracious Hunger: Saiyans require twice the normal amount of food other organic characters would.
Again, this is just a rough draft; I don't expect to generate a ton of discussion around this, and it's probably not very balanced. But it was fun to make, and I wanted to share.

I wouldn't normally post something like this here, but Alan Dean Foster kicked of the Star Wars EU.

Ok, we now have Allies & Adversaries; Armour & Weapons and Armour Attachments tables all live. I've also promoted relevant community services under the tables. If you think of any we should add just let me know.

Another small update but one that I hope you'll find useful. The Planets page is now displaying a table for resources with the house-rule pricing we use for hyperlane trading. I would be interested to hear your experiences with this or your comments/suggestions.

The main table I've been wanting to get live has been the planets. I've put this online now, the searching facility isn't fully realised, but at least you have all have access to the data.

Quick update. Adventure seeds have now been incorporated into the dynamic search.
Note the database is still not quite complete but with over 400 adventures listed, it'll keep you going for a short while. 🙂

So, lockdown has given me a little time to learn and play this great RPG. Being the GM I found that the information being spread across sooooo many books makes the game an administrative nightmare unless you put in many hours of prep before each session. So I put together a small database to help me manage the game and World Building process, basically linking various references from the books together (with page numbers so I can review detail in the books).
Well this has started to become a monster, there is so much data in so many areas. I've added the following (and this is very far from finished):
130+ Adventure Seeds 50+ Modular Encounters Rebel Bases Relics Careers, Specialisations & Powers Creatures 150+ Vehicles, Manufactures 150+ Planets 150+ Planetary POI's 15+ System POI's 38 Trade Routes & more...
So much work, and my friends and I are the only ones to gain any advantage from it. So here it is for you all.
Currently this isn't the most accessible file, as it is made in Access and it is just the data tables, no queries or forms made just yet. But I did think that some other kind soul on here might help throw this data onto a website. I have a good Star Wars domain name and host. With time I'm sure I could throw this into a PHP site - but there are only 24 hours in a day...
If you want to get involved direct message me.
Here's the current database for you all: http://www.sw-rpg.info

Josep Maria reacted to JBondoux in RPG beginners wants to start a duo game, is it possible ?
This is a good shout. I'm still new at GMing but in the few Duo games I've held this would have been quite helpful.

Josep Maria got a reaction from JBondoux in RPG beginners wants to start a duo game, is it possible ?
Oh and consider to add, if there are just one or two players, and aditional dice to the starting destiny pool.
Good luck with the game and enjoy
This type os games use to be more personal and character focused. My main games are just with one player, and personally I love them!
EDIT: My solo game is a more than 15 years game session XD

@Bellona Yes that original link was just to host it while I sorted out the domain and hosting platform for a site. You can now access it here:
http://www.sw-rpg.info
The site still needs an SSL to avoid the 'Not Secure' warning, but I'm working on it.
If you're up to helping make this a data driven site with this database that would be brill!!!

@JBondoux
From your post, it looks like a very interesting and useful project!
However, Microsoft is demanding a password "Because you're accessing sensitive info ...". Is there any way to may the project accessible without needing yet another login?
