So the beginning of something new...
I have uploaded the core careers from the main three books. You will see a couple of new columns for each career though. These are the primary and secondary career 'types' I have created, these have been added so you can of course find a perfect career for your playstyle. The rest of the careers are being updated - many already exist but I want to upload them when a whole core set is complete - but I am updating all the weapons, gear etc specials from each book as we go.
However, I have also added one of the first tables I made for myself - career rule tables. Here if you want to find the book and page number of, say, that crafting table you've lost track of - head here.
-
I'd quite like to see a galactic overview with a focus on inter-galactic trade, trade routes, smuggling routes and the products being shipped. This together with the forces vying for superiority in each localised areas of space. This is something that has come up with those that I have played with and we've had to be quite creative sometimes to create playable/reusable rules.
-
So a build-up of the existing service has been uploaded today.
The vehicles, vehicle attachments, weapons, armours and attachments pages have all begun to start showing the item special properties. This is a work in progress but you'll find all the core rulesets have been completed for now.
The live database has also been updated to include the following:
- 407 Individual Item Special Properties
- 356 Weapons
- 90 Armours
- 194 Attachments
- 330 Vehicles
- 69 Vehicle Attachments
- 32 Vehicle Weapons
- 170 Species
- 449 Planets
Happy GMing.

Small but powerful update today. The vehicle database has had the following fields completed: Price, Rarity, Hyperdrive and our custom category, vehicle reason allowing another method in choosing the correct ship/speeder etc.
I have also added a pre-programmed search for the three core rulesets to find a starter ship for a new group.
-
Ok, nice update today. Vehicles, Vehicle Weapons, Vehicle Attachments & Vehicle Components are all available.
Stethemessiah reacted to this -
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.

Josep Maria reacted to this -
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. 🙂
Josep Maria reacted to this -
Ok, first draft of a dynamic searchable website for the data is live. It is just weapons for now. It's my first attempt at a dynamic site so forgive the wait to get it all rolled out.
@Twinkee This should be easier for you instead of using the raw database (once of course it is all available on the site).
-
I had some nice feedback on the trade prices so here's an update with this expanded upon slightly:
Version 3.2
- 400+ Adventure Seeds
- 70+ Modular Encounters
- 450+ Allies & Adversaries
- 310+ Weapons
- 70+ Armours
- 280+ Gear Sets
- 49 Career Rules listings
- 470+ Talents
- 440+ Planets
- 120+ Trade Routes
- 140+ Resources - The house-rule pricing has proven successful so we've expanded this slightly.
-
I've been recommended a look at @GM Hooly's excellent instruction set as we had this very request in a recent session, so we'll certainly be looking at incorporating some of these ideas in our next session.
I had created a database of resources for a GM to use that started off as a simple list of modular encounters but has exploded into a vast collection of data for GM's to refer to when creating an adventure (or even just running a game). I mention this only as we have created a list of products that were created from the import/export listings in the Planetary description pages throughout the rule sets. As some players wanted to buy low/sell high we created some house-rule prices that perhaps some of you might find useful?
@GM Hooly Would you be happy if I listed your instruction set, with your credit, on the site (I'm planning on listing a bunch of really useful resources)?
-
Huge update today.
Now I'm using it in anger within my own sessions I've added a bunch of stuff to make my GM work easier. Hope this helps some of you too.
Version 3.1
- 390+ Adventure Seeds
- 450 Allies & Adversaries - now starting to include droid sales prices
- 250+ Vehicles
- Vehicle Attachments, Weapons & Upgrades
- 290+ Weapons
- 60+ Armours
- 240+ Gear Sets
- 160+ Gear Attachments
- Career Rules listings: 24 so far
- 70+ Corporations
- 66 Modular Encounters
- Relics, Holocrons & Talismans
- 40+ Security Forces
- 380+ Talents
- 410+ Planets - Now with Galactic Coordinates
- 100+ Trade Routes
- 130+ Resources - Beginning to consider inserting house-rule pricing for products here such as Foodstuffs etc to accommodate those players wanting to start an import/export business
- Now including The Force Awakens Beginner Game
-
So I've just had some PC's want to run a small trade business, buying foodstuffs etc in the Core worlds and selling them in the Outer Worlds. Are there any guides that cover this (either 3rd party or in one of the source books I've not yet encountered perhaps)?
I'm particularly interested in a list of products, trade locations and prices. I've started making a list of goods that each planet mainly imports /exports but the books sometimes contradict each other and there is no mention of prices or rarity.
Sure I can make this up on the fly but it would be good to follow rules if there are any.

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 reacted to this -
@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:
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!!!
Josep Maria and Bellona reacted to this -
Quick update to the database we now have:
- 270+ Planets
- 70+ Creatures/NPC's
- 200+ POI's
- 180+ Vehicles
- Referencing 23 Source Books...so far
Josep Maria reacted to this -
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

Ok, forgive me, I'm trying to get this right for our first game session...
I understand the purpose of Career and Additional Career skills during the character creation process (to boost a select few of these). However, what is the purpose of having a Career skill after that that isn't boosted during creation.
Here's an example:
I create a Colonist Scholar, pretty much no combat skills on the outset and I boost up to 6 of these new Career skills. Later in the campaign I meet up with the Rebel Alliance and wish to sign up, so I Specialise in the Universal Recruit tree. I guess I then add the four additional Career skills listed here on my sheet without boosting them. I spend a further 5 XP to the Combat Training talent giving me two more Career Skills. But as I do not boost these as I did during character creation what is their benefit? Complete noob question I know, still trying to understand.

So I've not gotten hold of the Genesys Core rules yet but it seems to me the basic rules are more suitable for younger players than D20 for instance. Besides my kids aren't into the Fantasy setting, but I did think there may be some kids campaigns made already for Genesys. Can anyone recommend any?
-
Great advise. Thanks.
I've just heard on a you tube vlog that the Genesys RPG team has stopped and I guess this would include Star Wars. Is this just rumour? Anyone have links to a real news post on this? If true looks like I ned to keep an eye on eBay for my core sets...
-
So I cannot get a copy of any of the core rulesets from UK distributors right now. I can get the EotE Beginner's Set and the Genesys Core rules. Can I muddle through with this? Some of the supplemental sets are also available that I guess might provide some of the lost info.
Thoughts? Is this possible?

Sorry for being so silent, I've been updating the special properties of the various weapons, armours, attachments etc along with updating the properties of the careers and species. We're not quite there yet but the end is in sight. As it is nearly Christmas I thought I'd update the database with where we're at right now...
This is what has been updated this time round.

Happy Christmas.
