The GSA Presents: The Unofficial Species Menagerie
Published on 03 February 2013 - 13:59:16

Thought that since the Beta boards are now a sub-forum and not seeing a lot of traffic these days, folks might be interested in a (not so little) project that Ben "Agent 66/Cyril" Erickson and myself compiled a while back.

Doubtless that many of these species will get official write-ups down the line by FFG, and will probably look very different than what we came  up with, but in the mean time, we hope you'll find these a useful resource, either used as-is or as launching points for your own takes on these species.

Most impressive.  My only exposure so far to characters is the basic game, but this still gave me a feel for how races will be handled independent of class considerations (which was tough to discern from the starting characters).  Excellent, extensive resource here.

Thanks.

Yeah, I figure this will be a lot more useful for more folks once the actual corebook gets released.  But in the meantime, it could be used by those with just the Beginner Box to get a rough idea how species are generally treated.  Or at least how a couple of RPG veterans see species being treated based on what we saw in the Beta.

Also kinda hoping this might nudge a few folks with their own excellent homemade contributions over in the Beta sub-forum to start new threads over here as well.

*facepalm*

This is what I get for not looking past the first page.  I just posted a thread looking for custom species, and the Jawa in particular.  I see you've got one here, so my eternal thanks!

As a bonus, Noghri (the favored race of one of my table top guys) is also in here.  Excellent stuff!

You know, I saw your "custom species" post, and went looking for this thread, figuring it'd fallen off of the front page :D

And glad we could be of help.

Greetings Mr. Morningfire!

 

After reading through Shadows of a Black Sun, I noticed that they had a Falleen NPC on pg. 28.

There, they give the race's phermone ability's in-game function (which they call "Allelochemical Transmitters"). I thought that you might like to update your Unofficial Species Menagerie using that information when you had the chance. :D

BTW: I'm thrilled that you put out that article! My GM is going to let me play a Duros when the Corerulebook comes out!

Cheers!
