I have just downloaded it via the usual "save as" method and had no problem at all. _________________ "He's Gry Sarth, of course he has the stats for them." |

Just managed to DL the sourcebooks Gry put together and am in the process of comparing them with stuff from "The Rebellion" page. So far, I've found 4 races that didn't make it into the sourcebook that he put together: The Aquar, Fia, Moochers, and Mugaaris. All of them were from Coruscant and the Core Worlds Sourcebook. Should I drop them in here, do ya think?
I'll keep going over the stuff I have access to and compare... _________________ "Love like you will die tomorrow. Hate like you will live forever." - Unknown |

That's very useful, thanks. I actually noticed the missing Fia soon after I finished the book, but the others escaped me. It's good to have those listed if I ever to a second edition of that book or something.
Thanks. _________________ "He's Gry Sarth, of course he has the stats for them." |

There's a few ships missing from the Starships file. The Class-7 Repair Vessel from Supernova and the Mestapol Zephyr Light Fighter from Politics of Contraband, for instance. |

Yes, I know. There's plenty more than that missing from that book, because at the time I made it I didn't have access to all of WEG books. "Starships Stats - Revised & Expanded" would rectify all that, but alas..... _________________ "He's Gry Sarth, of course he has the stats for them." |

Gry, I have a question regarding Hutt War Armor as described on page 27 of your Equipment File. How is it that the armor has a penalty and a bonus to Dexterity?
Also, what price should be used as the basis for modifications to such armor? |

The answer to your first question is that it is a powersuit. It's very bulky, thus the -2D DEX penalty, however it has built-in servos that can negate some of that, granting a +2 bonus for a total penalty of -1D+1. However, like any powersuit, it requires a successful Powersuit Operation roll to grant the wearer its bonuses. So if you fail that roll (or if the suit is somehow deactivated), you're stuck with the full -2D DEX penalty.
The answer to your second question is, I have no idea. It's listed as not available for sale, being an ancient piece of specialized armor. Looking at it, most high-end powersuits are listed as not available for sale, so you'll have to make an educated wild guess. I'd say about 100,000 _________________ "He's Gry Sarth, of course he has the stats for them." |

Technically, it's a lekku, but people call it all sorts of things, tentacles is not exactly wrong. _________________ "He's Gry Sarth, of course he has the stats for them." |

Another name for it is "tchun-tchin". Tchun is the right headtail, and tchin the left... or was it vice versa? I can't remember.
Anyway that's referred to in the X-Wing space sim guidebook. _________________ The Enteague Sector | Cracken's Collection of Crackpots

I say the Holiday Special is a valid source for a Galaxy Guide.
Life Day
Wookie traditions...
Bea Arthur's bartender character
Harvey Coleman
The musical acts...
The Boba Fett cartoon
Plenty of material to turn into d6.
But I ain't gonna do it. I gave the community the cover, and that's it. |

Harvey Korman.
The Holiday Special is canonical according to Lucasfilm, as much as they are ashamed of it. I've recently watched in its entirety, and to be perfectly honest, I found nothing in it (mythos-wise) as objectionable as I found the prequels. It's cheesy as hell, yes, but taking away the excruciatingly horrible performances, I found it to mesh rather well with my preferred pre-SE&prequel view of the Star Wars Universe.
I don't want to do the sourcebook, though. For that I would have to watch the special over and over again, and one exposure is bad enough. It was over a month ago that I watched it and my brain still hurts from the Wookiee TV dancing pseudo-porn show alone. _________________ Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid. |
