whoa, dude. fall back! I totally understand what your saying. Les Eller has gone above and beyond on the cards, and recieved noting but gratitude. And I know they are meant to be as vague as possible for nebulous legalities that nobody (including me) has taken the time to really research.

I'm sorry to hurt feelings, but if you are approaching THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT as a way to bring people back in the game, then you need to come up with something that is going to grab their attention. Maybe "treating the card as a collectible" is a poor choice of words. Treat them as a work of art, or an attention grabber.

As far as raising money of that magnitude, The fact of the matter is people raise 4 or 5 times this much money to create Star Wars fan films, it's always been a welcome aspect of Star Wars fandom. this is no different.

lol...but honestly what do I care? I can't get too involved in this anyway... And by the tone of most people I can see that not alot of you really has my vision in mind, which is totally cool, so I do wish you the best of luck. Maybe I can just do my own thing down the road and see how it goes!

The problem I have with using the V-Set pieces... Some of them are just plain no fun. Windu LotLS, Bastila... I (admittedly) haven't played many games with the V-Set pieces, but they seem much more aimed at the competitive meta than for fun scenario play. I agree that we should probably limit the number of cards we create, but I don't think that we should necessarily always turn to the V-Sets, either. And in the individual scenarios, we could always add special errata.

Note: When I say "create cards," I mean to make stats that we include either in the scenarios or in the back of the book.

It's called special scenario rules, not errata. :-)

On the Vsets, fun is different for different people, I guess. I think Windu and Bastila are each slightly overpowered. (Drop a force point for Bastila and Force Absorb for Mace, for example.) But I do think they're lots of fun. For scenarios, though, it's easy to just not include them. Tell people to use original Bastila or another Mace if you need to use those characters. No need to design our own, though. A big headache - not worth it unless absolutely necessary.

While I love the idea of having something to draw the masses to my favorite game, I just envisioned this as a PDF that you can print out for yourself and put in a binder. Or maybe Print-N-Play Productions could do it for you for a fee to get better printing/binding with no hassle. Still, I would like it to be a nice product... something that is worth printing and keeping on the shelf.

I think that Jedicartographer was thinking of something more in line of professionally printing the booklets (with donations), and we can put a printable PDF online, rather than just making a PDF. After all, how much marketing are you going to be able to do with an intangible product like the PDF? I think that a tangible product might just be more enticing to the average (non-Bloomilk) SWM player.

Ok, ok enough talk, whatever we decide to do when it comes to publishing this thing it will not happen with out the community submitting their ideas for scenarios and such. I think I have gotten three so far and that is no where near enough to make this a reality. JC maybe you and I can have a conversation on what some options are when it comes to packaging an idea like this. I know you are looking at getting out of the business so I am not looking at you to lead anything just to be able to pick your brain. but until we get enough ideas, publication is no where in site. so lets work on step one before step thirty seven.

Here is what I need
-Contributors, Players who will email me their ideas (It could be anything just lets start somewhere)

-Play Testers, Play testers those would would be willing to test out these scenarios and tweak them where needed.

My goal is not to compete with V-sets but to supplement them, If we could work with the v-set guys to maybe come out with a micro-set geared to a scenario or two that would be awesome but as of right now lets just start compiling Scenarios and different game play ideas and as this dream become a reality we can move forward with some of the harder decisions, such as how to publish it or new v-set cards....... OK?

Agree 100%.

I have a few scenarios in need of play testing any takers

My group is willing to playtest any and all you shoot our way.

I haven't forgotten. I'll get some stuff to you asap, but I'm in the middle of something pressing for the time being.
