Not sure if any of ya were really interested last time, but I figured why not fill ya all in?
I've made more progress on it. Seems that my earlier statement that it was ready for play testers was a bit premature, and I haven't gotten any. Which was a good thing.
Currently it has a rough storyline, a list of skills, feats, and training schools, profession classes for the players, and the rules are being fleshed out currently. It has a bit of greater mix than I originally planned in it. Originally I wanted to mix it as an RPG and a tactical/strategy wargame. It's still mostly that, but for the actual mechanics I also found it useful to pull a little from Warhammer 40k. I also have some rough character and platoon sheets. If I get this worked out well enough, we could see if we can't modify it for a Star Wars universe type game. Should be possible, I'm making it to be simple and flexible in terms of the mechanics.
So shall I lay out the different parts?
