Flashback to 2017-2019, when the Star Wars RPG was still being actively developed. What books would you have liked to see?
Personally, I would have liked to see more setting books like Suns of Fortune and Lords of Nal Hutta. One of them would have been an EotE shadowports book, in the vein of the older Platt’s Starport Guide.
Also, I would have liked to see a follow-up to Strongholds of Resistance, but flipping the script to focus on Imperial strongholds and fortress worlds.
I’m not much sure what they could’ve done with F&D, but maybe something like a Sith space guide or a broader Sith worlds book would have been interesting.
I would’ve liked to see even more Clone Wars content, but I’m a Clone Wars aficionado, so that is no surprise. They didn’t make any Sequel Trilogy sourcebooks, but I don’t consider that any great loss.
The adventure books weren’t that great, so I wouldn’t feel the need for more. Aside from a Clone Wars adventure, maybe. There’s a lot that could be done with that since you really do have two standing armies, unlike Friends Like These where it’s a standing army with weak justifications and a bunch of kludged-together allies of convenience.
Maybe a galactic atlas (Stars and Systems? Planets and Phenomena?) like an expansion of the “The Galaxy” chapters. That’s something I would have used a lot, actually, although Wookieepedia has usually filled that role, and my tastes are obscure enough I may have still relied on Wookieepedia.
In that same vein, a species book to compile all the different species and maybe rebalance some (a la the tweaks in SaS and GaG), and then add some new ones. If it was one species per page (and there are about 90-100 extant species, by my estimate) it would be the length of the thinner splats and would give room to expand on the description of each species.
