Star Wars: Powers of the Force [Star Wars Space Combat Board Game and More!] [Development Thread]

Although this is development and pre-recruitment for a Roleplay- No roleplay is occurring here.

Star Wars: Powers of the Force (SW:PotF) is a side project of mine which (in completion) will be basically a board game / roleplay combo which will interlock and switch freely between the two to create a seamlessly changing world for players to explore. I plan to have a story mode and also a space combat mode for quick play.

This is my development thread where I post all of my progress on these projects. So check back often, and post below and questions you may have.

As far as the story goes, I plan to have to have two story lines occurring. One is my personal take on what episode 7 would have been (Ironically I had a storyline for an episode 7 LONG before Lucas ever announced his plans to make another), and another take which is basically picking up where episode 8 would start. In time with those two completely made, I would also make another story which stems completely off the main story of the movies and create it's own story within the Star Wars universe.

Development:

Roleplay aspect:

  • Began writing the advanced players guide.
  • Began writing the advanced game masters guide.
  • Created advanced character sheet

Storyline Aspect:

  • Polishing E7 retake's storyline
  • Polishing E7:tFA's storyline

Board Game / Space Combat Aspect:

  • Basis for mechanics down
  • Methodology sketched

To Do:

  • Finish writing the advanced players guide
  • Finish writing the advanced game masters guide
  • Create basic character sheet
  • Begin writing the basic players guide
  • Begin writing the basic game masters guide
  • Complete storyline for E7 retake
  • Complete E7:tFA storyline
  • Begin writing down mechanics and rules for Space Combat
  • Begin Writing Space Combat Mechanics Manual

 

I also plan to make the Space Combat system adaptable, specifically so it can fit multiple universes. I specifically want to make it work so I can run a "The Last Starfighter 2" storyline as well, and if it works, I'll also make it for many other sci-fi universes.

If you like this idea then please stay behind it! The more feedback I see the faster I'll move :) , but I hope you will enjoy this and I will also begin releasing occasional links to my progress so you can read what I have! I have quite a lot done as far as the roleplay / storyline aspect, however I just began sketching down the idea for a Space Combat system just today so it's very early in development. I originally planned to release this in a completed state, however I decided against it when I added this Space Combat system since I can have it completed long before I can finish the roleplay aspect as that is pages and pages of work to be done, however as I said- the more positive feedback I see the faster I'll be.

I am aware there are other Star Wars Roleplay systems out there, but this is an attempt I began in 2007 and simply never finished on the scale I originally planned, so I feel in spirit, I beat them to it :P , I just didn't publish it. Besides this is just my take on the mechanics and I hope you enjoy it, give me feedback and check back often :) .
