WEG Style Guide

There's been a request on Reddit for anyone with a copy of the WEG writers' style guide for Star Wars. Pablo Hidalgo posted excerpts from this on his twitter feed a while back. Anyone have a copy handy that they could distribute? Is that even permissible with this document? (I honestly don't know.)

I gather there are some WEG alums who pop on here from time to time, so I figured I'd ask. I plan to ask a friend of mine who used to freelance for them sometimes as well.

Unfortunately there aren't much in the way of former WEG authors here. I think there may be one on the facebook group, but I don't think that they frequent here.

The style guide is kind of the holy grail for fan supplement creators. We've asked, no one has been willing to produce a pdf of the documents. A lot of it was just "paperwork from work" that didn't survive this many years after the company went the way it did. Those that have it aren't willing to risk openly reproducing it on the internet.

If you do get a copy, I will personally drive to wherever you are at and give you a hug and some money to get a look at it.

I wouldn't want any money for it. I'd just be happy to share it with the community if I can get a copy of it. I'm not holding my breath, mind you. It's entirely possible that the people who did receive it promptly chucked it when it was no longer necessary. But we will see...

What about a redacted copy? Just blot out anything legally questionable and everyone's happy.

Mr. Cheshire, I'll see your hug & cookies and raise you a crawfish boil if we can get our hands on this gem. Very Happy

I do not have the Style Guide from the Star Wars era, but I may have a WEG Style Guide from the Open D6 era (2005ish). I will have to look as many of my files were lost and damaged in a serious of disastrous hardware failures from 2015 through 2019.

One was once available through the RancorPitBooks group, but with Yahoo having disbanded groups and deleted the files last December those materials are gone.

I can log into the Yahoo group but I cannot see any messages or files. If they just erased everything it seems silly to even still have a group.

The deadline to retrieve files was December 14th 2019, but at the time I was having serious computer issues and was unsure if I would return to gaming or not. Plus, I thought I had all of my contributions still.

Pete Schweighofer DOES have the WEG style guide. He has snapped snippet pictures of it but refuses to do the whole thing. He used the snippets in a discussion about what they used to do and should do today.
